    Trading in Dubai

    A nice 2 bed flat unfurnished 1700sqft is about $40,000 pa rent. You can buy a 4/5 bed villa on the palm for $4mil up to $14 for the larger ones. All traders out here I know back themselves so your payout is 100% after clearer costs and desk fees. If you can afford a good living in London you...

    Trading in Dubai

    I haven't met any Americans out here yet, probably because Americans pay taxes on their worldwide income wherever they are, unlike most other nations. Every country has its pros and cons you just need to weigh up what's important to you. If you need a gun and Columbian cash crops up your...

    Trading in Dubai

    Ecco is what one of the other prop houses use successfully RTS is another. I began using TT on leased line, bypassing the eurex hub but TT can't really handle it, or rather some of the London clearers and TT can't configure TT and the WANs/sharks to handle it and it's not a cable isssue. You can...

There's trainees learning spreads too. There's a couple of...

    Extremely thin Bund/bobl

    All valid comments I agree. But it ain't what it used to be, last May I'd clip 400 happily intraday, you could go unnoticed, you won't catch me doing anywhere near that in this whippy book. I complained about the 5000*5000 flipper book and 35 tic range years ago and I'll complain about this book...

    Extremely thin Bund/bobl

    Because they're adjusting the yield curve after Trichet's comments, the curve is being inverted so yields on short end rise ie. sell the future and vice versa on the long end which is why the buxl (30yr) rallied 300+ tics pulling up the bund as bobl was doing new lows. Because these moves have...

    Extremely thin Bund/bobl

    How thin is this fixed income getting!? After these aggressive flatteners and curve play stops bund's looking like the new dax, five or six prices deep all under 100 lots :eek: Not to mention the 358 tic rally in buxl this morning whilst short end pinned to the lows, most nuts open i've...

    Comparison of low latency feeds and execution for Eurex futures

    The likes of TT have yet to come up with version that can display this feed, think RTS is one of the few that can show it so far.

    Fed Cuts 100 points, Guess the Market, Get a Cookie

    I'm going for a bit of disappointment on anything less than 100 at first. I'm guessing they do 75. On bloomberg 39 going for 100 27 for 75 37 for 50

    Is The Fed Out Of Ammo?

    You still think 100 is on the cards? I'm more inclined for 75 or even 50 now - soon find out. Fed funds are pricing the full 100 though. Good luck.
