calendar put spread 5700 Sep/Dec.... to short it... :D

Why did you choose to trade the Bund? IMO, it's a casino intraday. Also, as someone else mentioned before in this thread, you are doing way too many RTs. Try 3-4 a day... learn how to wait. I am watching it today since 8am CET, and didn't take a single trade yet. 5 ticks in 12 trades...

1-2 ticks, you mean only 0.10-0.20? I am trying to split a spread of 2.60 all day, but the MM doesn't give in... and no liquidity is coming from others. I hate trading with a bookie!

True, someone is making market in 205ers. But, why is this a problem for you? Question to experienced DAX option traders: What are the chances getting filled if you sit in the middle of the bid-ask of an OTM (5-6 strikes out from the current price)?

Goodluck!

Any good midnight rally recently? How is it going?

1.3182... another 800pips to go.... Open your eyes!

will re-enter... something stinks currently. Hold on! :D And it isn't a prediction. It's that little bird, remember?

it's 99% junk

Waiting is good.

I hope you are not arbing by hand... What are your chances with all those programs out there?

I call it off... for now... out @ 1.3085, +185. You will have to un-quote me... :)

You need to get some sleep sometimes. Good against stress (and hairloss).

1.2 on backtest is a loser. You probably need another smarter strategy. If I don't get >=3 on backtest without over-optimizing (only with rough and robust optimizations), I don't even think of trying the system realtime intraday. That's for low frequency. Which instrument are you...

Yes, you can quote me, I don't mind. I don't know when.... end-of-May? June? Stop just below the recent lows, so the risk is slim. I am long with an average of around 1.29

Scalpz?

Maybe you should first ask yourself why you want to trade those contracts. There is plenty of liquidity elsewhere. It's rediculous to try to short-term trade these.

Check the Eurex website for more information on block-trades. I am not watching DAX, but they happen all the time on other Eurex products, e.g. ESTX50. Usually they happen directly between 2 big parties and reported later when the market reaches the price where the blocktrade took place...

Probably a block-trade. It didn't go through the normal market, and didn't happen when you saw it.
