    Why day traders will never win, Chicago PMI edition

    The PMI conference call has been going on for years as has the Michigan one, although that is now rubbish since Reuters sponsored it and release it quicker than she can read it. This is hardly new news and if you trade at a decent firm you're dialed in anyway. Day traders have been winning for...

    Where would you trade?

    I moved to Dubai from London, it's good hours for eurex and I like the heat. 25-35 for about 10 months but 47 was peak in July, toasty! It's not a cheap place to live though. Good bars good beaches and good shopping, oh and 11,000 emirates air hostesses mainly aussies and safas :cool:

    is it possible to day trade Euribor ?

    Anyone who sold the LTRO result outright in euribor had a magnum success today, bigger range than bund this am. There's plenty of big outright traders in there who day trade. "Most strategists say that if less than E100bln is alloted then this will lead to "normalisation" trades and long...

    Trading in Dubai

    Everyone here currently trades futures, desk fee is not the cheapest compared to London but it is all relative to UK tax of 50%, I believe US citizens only get first $80k tax free being non-resident so probably less attractive if you are one.

    Trading in Dubai

    Eurex shut the hub down because TT would not open a data centre here, as the gov wouldn't finance its installation. Because most locals want TT they all traded down the lease line which was fatter than the eurex one back to Frankfurt anyway. (The same comms company installed both lines). I...

    When should I buy a Bloomberg Terminal

    They lock you in to a hideous 2yr contract will not let you share any sceens to fellow users in your office, ie 3 people looking at the 4 screens will result in law suit threats from them, are useless on their refusal to answer a phone when trying to get help -"oh you MUST use the messenger" -...

    Italian 10yr BTP future launches on Eurex

    "The new Italian government 10-year BTP futures contract was hailed as a success on its first day of trading on Eurex Monday, but the jury is still out on how well it will do longer-term, say traders. The new BTP futures contract opened Monday morning at 115.20, with bid/offer spread...

    Bund Bobl Schatz Fly

    The belly of the curve will lead on significant changes in market fundamentals, so for example paper will always head into the belly on something like a terrorist attack or out of the blue signal from a central banker. I don't trade the fly but do watch it as an indicator. Here's an old post...

    X-Trader vs. CQG Trading

    Thank you for the update, are there any confirmed dates for these expected rulings? I was considering another option with firms that offer a whitelabel solution. If a trader gets his own whitelabel one-off system designed with the features they want, or you pay for an open source version...

    X-Trader vs. CQG Trading

    How far has CQG got in its court case with Trading Technologies over the fixed ladder DOM patent? I know CGQ are using fixed ladder single downclick order entry so far but apparently haven't "won" the case yet. I assume if and when they do TT will lose a lot of customers to the likes of Ecco...

    Escape from Dubai

    The guy was French, what did they expect? He probably went on strike on day 2. He was on US$13k a month driving a lamborghini living in a rent free huge villa and the two tourist submarines he ordered from his own company in the US never turned up in the cargo but his wife's US car did instead...
