one and only time I rode a taxi in New York all the driver did for the whole journey was place orders with his broker on a mobile.

hmmmm, multiprice flipping y'say..... I've seen it before in the bund all the time, usually after 5pm London time during the rollovers there is a lot of gapping in the Eurex.

1. my systems generate signals depending on activity so it could be 1 minute it could be all day 2. forex 3. 3 systems - 1 sideways, 1 trend, 1 counter trend. the idea is that when you back test them together you get a smooth profit curve as opposed to the ups and downs of a single system

they update the data feed 5 times a second (which is pathetic compared to most other exchanges). I have experienced problems with Eurex on the bund back in April this year when there was a huge rally the order book just froze, you had to look at CQG to follow the prices. often the...

Paul Rotter, Shanaz Hussein the euro bonds. wouldn't call Bill Gross a trader
