Sports betting?Not sure if I agree there.The only overall way to be a good bookie in the long term is to be a bookie yourself, and at odds obviously less favourable than the outcome chance-No good " laying" on betfair as those odds are to high to lay. Boring?I agree there- Sometimes feel as...

I dont think this is the case, as those guys would simple change their Brokers. Heres being hopeful, lets see what today brings up, and hopefully some good volume with some nice wide ranges, or will history repeat itself with 2/3 good moves with 80% ( in a 20 minute window) of the volume...

its a PR game, didnt happen at all, its all about selling papers- just ask LORD Ashcroft or Rupert Mordoch

I have been trading electronically since its inception in 1998.So definately no newbie.As regards the " mugs"-I mean the guys that are trying to actively scalp- not position trade ( IE- look for more than 5 ticks on a trade, not in and out all day long. I have now been in the trade for nearly...

I am simply stating that as of 4pm GMT the BUND contract totally dries up.I placed a trade at approxamately 3pm GMT, and I am still in it- neither my target or stop have been filled. Its not much to ask to ask for some movement is it? Many of my colleagues however still trade BUNDS but...

Why isnt the BUND moving at all?Its just died a death- the Dow future has moved 67 ticks in the same time as the BUND has moved 3 ticks.How can we make money off a product which doesnt move? the BUND has turned into an utter dogshit product, no movement and the volume has died a death (...

Just bought 140.29's- stop at 140.15 hoping the 39's break and we push upto 56/59 to trigger the stops placed there

Are these 140.39's going to break today?? Thanks Guys

I have no frustrations at all. The only frustrations I have is that is deeply boring intraday trading now I am position trading as opposed to being active(now looking for 8+ ticks).So yes you are correct I do have alot of spare time during working hours. Whats that got to do with the...

I want to make a point to all that read this thread that typical prop trading arcades without naming any names have had their day, most experienced intraday traders have drastically cut down their daily trading volumes and so the need for very competetive round turns is just not there anymore...

The problem that we have, is the human traders ( point and click guys) no longer actively scalp, turning out 1000's of Round Trips a day- those days are long gone ( died around 2005/2006).What the Human intraday traders now do is position trade and look on a longer term timeframe with a view of...

What another poor day for active scalping locals, 2 good moves during the day, then just stuck in a 10/15 tick range, on no volume at all. 71% of the volume was conducted in 20 minutes ( both during the movement periods). As soon as 5 pm ( GMT ) arrives the market just totally dies, and...

Exactly,thats my point entirely.The days of shelling out for TT or CQG trader is a total waste of cash ( Desk fee) when can spreadbet.I have tracked one of the Spreadbetting firms prices compared to the actaully feed I get on my TT platform. The latency from the TT price to my spreadbet...

ps-why is it "it free"? No such thing as a free lunch- is this a sales technique? Call me an old cynic- not an "ARTHUR DALEY" ARE U?

Latency is to slow-I got a line from the EUREX server which is 14 ms ping data- direct to the equinix server data centre in frankfurt- whats your ping times?

Old hat- its like listeneting to bart from the t- note- no need for a squawk now

Its disgusting- the UN have 5 pernament members on the the UN secuirty council-UK/usa/france/china/russia- the chinese and the russians blocked action in syria- why is this?

Bunds didnt even move 5 ticks on the back of the t-notes,just goes to show how uncorellated the 2 markets are- either that or there are no Locals actively scalping the bunds anymore,just positioning trading looking for 5 or more ticks.

Are these Bunds going to break the 140.23's guys? Hope so.
