There's been a lot of safe haven flows out of equities and commodities, the bounce was called to go up to 117.32 by several institutions when we were down around 115s and seems to be panning out. In the past few days there have been strong cross border flows selling gilts BTPs and US treasuries...

So copper just closed limit up, looks I was wrong in the short term :confused:

The speculation premium in the commodities means they have further to fall. The prices of metals do not reflect the supply demand. I think BarCap in the FT was saying there is up to a 30% pure speculation premium in these markets from hot money. Gold has been latched onto by retail investors and...

Get your thinking done in the tub it's the best place, then go to bed to sleep. Tea might be ok but make sure it's not a caffeine containing variety. I read somewhere that eating lettuce before bed works very well. Google lettuce and insomnia and you'll see what I mean.

If you're covering your costs and your desk fee they don't mind how you trade. You'd need to be making enough over that to pay yourself a living and if they've backed you they get splits off that anyway. However, if an own account trader barely ever trades and is taking up a desk where a more...

Precisely. There are so many different ways to trade, I wouldn't suggest targets or trading styles to anyone but when you start at many of these prop shops they say if you are more or less having 10 winners a day with some sort of consistency we'll consider getting you live, which I think is...

For some questionable translation, here's the site converted... http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://www.derivatecheck.de/termine/default.asp

It's an issue with the time and sales, TT say shut them down over busy periods as they are too data intensive (software bottleneck apparently rather than hardware). They say they will correct this in 7 and orders should be nearer to 20x faster as the packets are routed in a new way. Maybe TT...

Slowdowns over Trichet press conference were a joke

No it's 6.14.3.4 at present

Dreading the new TT release. Every time they come out with a new version it's incompatible with eurex exchange leading to downtimes and server upgrades, why don't they get this stuff sorted before they release it? You just about get stable on the old version and they bring out a new one...

It IS the whole exchange, you get the slowdown you phone them up and they eventually admit it is a problem at their end. In the last month or so it's getting ridiculous and very expensive. To say all exchanges get slowdowns just accept it is unbelievable, we pay a huge amount of money to them...

That's exactly what i was saying to traders in london today, highest ever volume records - oldest ever servers, they need to sort it out and spend some of that money

It's the implied probability of what to expect for the May meeting and how recent data releases have altered this view. So the odds of rates being 5% have dropped slightly in favour of 4.75 after the existing home sales data, although barely. Have a look at this link to see how the market was...

Every man and his dog were trying to hit the IFO and M3 figures, every firm I know had slowdowns. That'd be 9am BST though?

A nice graphical view of what the markets are pricing after this fed meeting and how recent data has affected it http://macroblog.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/may_16.gif

I agree but there are so many scenarios where the down move is overdone (within 5/10minutes) and/or there wasn't actually much selling volume at all. In the example the market has been selling down, nothing massive just intraday small trend and it's a level on your chart, maybe it sold down...
