Its sloppy trading because Bernanke is talking at 3pm this afternoon.

If that's the guy operating out of Elite I have been hearing very good things about him. I believe he offers a free trial so it might be an idea to give him a look.

1. Ransquawk (all 5 analysts) provides a service for traders. if this service is not acceptable or is of poor quality you have every right as a customer to complain or cancel the service. Surely it would be better to listen to your customers than have them cancel? 2. If you do complain we...

Thats why I started the thread. To spread the word.

Thanks for the input I actually have another services that I listen too and RAN is in general slower. What annoys me is that they decide if something is relevant or not. So if a central banker is talking, but says something that they in their infinite wisdom think is not significant, you’re...

Anybody else get the impression that RAN Squawk has got so many subscribers now that they think they can just sit back and coast as far as providing a service goes? I see more and more headlines missed. Their opinion is that they know more than anybody else in this industry and as far as they...

What a wonderfully insightful post to highlight the difference in experience of those who trade for a living and those who do it as a hobby. Lets hope you continue with your vast success and then perhaps you will be able to give up your day job :D, the prop shops in London have plenty of empty...

isn't it nice to see the bund quickly go back to five and seven hundred up on the depth as soon as a few big market orders come in. Is this a truer reflection of the market as these dog s##t algo players pull there systems out? I hope they are getting ironed. :)

Everyone I speak to is saying all the same things as being echoed in this thread. I just took a month off to come back and find the arcade I was in had 'merged' with another. I am trying desperately hard to find a new edge, but its proving the greatest challenge of my trading career thus far...

15:39 and it STILL hasnt caught up, volume is light and Esginal is 2 minutes behind

Totally rubbish over consumer confidence. five minutes slow this time.

Me too, Fixed income was hopeless it was at least two minutes behind. Esignal reckon there is a server upgrade either tomorrow or Thursday. I wont hold my breath.

Lot of people I speak to are, and I include myself. Apparently we have to stop looking at the book and the tape. :D

If I had any imagination I certainly wouldn't have embarked upon a parasitic profession such as this :D

A good observation. I suppose its inevitable really. Interestingly enough beaker I just read your American beauty post. I have been thinking a lot along those lines as well recently. As a trader you have to be able to see the broad trend and the one that is occurring in these markets and the...

Not much of one anymore it seems. Been trading for 8 years, had a spell of 5 years without a down month, but its all going a bit wrong now. Adapt or die I know, but old habits are hard to break. :(

Thanks for the advice, its greatly appreciated. :)

I thought it was just me. I feel that since the beginning of March there has been a major change in the way the Bund is trading. You get these periods where its trading 2/3k in each 3 minute period...tick up and down 2 maybe 3 ticks then it will just start trading bundles at one price...like 6...

I forgot just how funny this was, thanks for the reminder, it made for a great re-read!

38 mins downtime before service resumed. In 5 years of using cqg I have only ever had one period of down time longer than 5 minutes. ESignal's ability to identify a feed problem and solve it is nothing short of appalling!!
