Lets hope so,I have just placed an intraday LONG position,hoping those stops will be triggered before todays close

ps-Are any position traders LONG looking fior the contract high of 140.23 to break and trigger some big stops around the 140.42/45 level ?

I never said anything about there being low voulme today in particular.I mean generally-like yesterday and the day before that- FGBL volume has not passed the 300k mark by 12pmGMT everyday for the past 2 weeks. I also never said anything about success, so no idea where you got that from.I...

Does anyone know why the Bund's volume has dropped so much?Does nobody intraday scalp trade it anymore actively?Or just shit on their hands and position trade? I know that ALGO's/blackboxes have killed off the active scalping locals,but not so much the volume is this low- Whats happened? Not...

Down again I see, if by following the Traders addage "Let the trend be your friend" then I can truly see the EUREX totally drying up in 2013. As my fellow office colleauge would say "This is DOGSHIT".

If you cannot manually scalp then whats the point in looking at an order book? Surely if trading on a longer term timeframe it would be financially beneficial spreadbetting ( looking for 7+ ticks per trade ie position trading) not just 1 or 2.

"Kool- aid"- not a bad one- still waiting to hear if any colleaugues have funnier nicknames than "Dogshit" like the guy at our office...

I have posted on another thread asking if guys from a prop shop know a certain invidual with a funny nickname, I got a PM from the guy, so was a bit shocked. Whats the funniest nickname that you guys have in your offices? My 2 favourite nicknames of guys that I know in the futures business...

Yes I agree there are many HFT funds involved in these markets.However, the ex EUREX scalpers are switching into these markets as there is a lot more volume which larger traders obviously need to get their required fills etc. One of the guys at my arcade knows one of the Tech guys at EUREX...

Yes, that my point entirely, hence all the scalpers have left trading EUREX, its now just the position trader guys doing relatively small clip sizes and looking for 20+ ticks.However, for this style of trading Direct market access is not required, as can opt to trade this way via Spreadbettting...

I do know what im talking about, it is evident that there are no Scalpers left in the market as the volume levels reflect this, the only Locals that I know of that are still involved in EUREX are now looking at trades on a longer time frame ( as opposed to tick trading ), with a view of trying...

Ps what Arcade are you at? Do you know of a trader called "Dogshit"? ( his nickname as he is always shouts out "This is dogshit" when his position is offside).I think he trades at either Elite or Pyne, both of which I viewed when deciding on which arcade to trade from.

Ah makes sense I guess, is that direct via the Exchange or spreadbetting for your positional trades ?

Ok No probs-What Exchange do u use to scalp on?Or are you more of a positional trader guy and hence still using EUREX? Thanks

No sorry, you have misunderstood.I meant if my buddies were position traders ( as per my example looking for 20 ticks, as opposed to 1/-5 ticks), then fine EUREX would still be a viable exchange to trade.However, they are not they do say 50-100 trades a day trying to nick ticks here and there...

It is not as they have failed, the problem is the volume isnt there anymore in order to absorb the size which they trade being in and out of the market many times a day clipping upto 300 lots.The facaillity that EUREX once provided is no longer there, hence have moved to an exchange which does...

James, If I was you I would not accept any offer from Schneider Trading, my friend traded there and he left within 2 weeks. They rely on so-called graduates and newbies to act as liquidity monkeys thereby lining their pockets when it comes to rebates and commissions. They also want you to...

The patterns are continously changing, so how can you learn something which is constantly changing? What pattern works one day does not work the next Bearing in mind there are no scalpers left in EUREX products ( as is evident by Volume ), I would be interested to know what Exchange you are...
