A buddy at a prop firm in London called me today about their squawk guy Baitsee,apparently this guy is seriously crap man,a real joker.He says that he calls the obvious all the time,telling you if the notes are on their lows,dow on it's hi,really tries to screw you up at the wrong time,you get...

So the moral of the thread is that there are 2 types of squawk service: 1.Well-informed and competent,will aid your trading and probably save you money 2.Ill-informed,incompetent,misses headlines and is wrongly selective on what to read out and will probably cost you money If you...

I've had a squawk service for 5 years and I've been trading since the early 90s,I don't think there are a lot of random moves in the markets. Would be interested to know which squawk service you endorse,the one our clearer provides is a total bullshitter,someone is so unhappy with RAN they've...

One thing I can't figure out?Why the hell does anyone actually need a squawk service at all? Generally a squawker has no economic qualifications,would be a dogshit trader and is a total waste of space. Any economic data is digested these days so quickly into the system you really think...

YT This post really says a lot.You clearly used the term 'local' to define daytrader/point and click trader but it's been conveniently misunderstood and to say that locals are 'irrelevant' is about the most absurd thing I've ever heard. Or at least it would be if it weren't written by...

Do you two fancy each other or something? Rather than hide in the closet why not come out?Maybe PM each other and meet up?Should be a nice night.

Might want to ask SocGen if they know anything about this mysterious move?

Everyone's got their own style,if you're using a 4 tick stop(disciplined) versus a 4 tick profit and are getting it more right than wrong then stick with it.I've heard so many stories of people with models designed to do just about anything to get money from your account to theirs and the...

If you've bothered to say you're not 'increasenow' then fair enough and apologies are in order,those threads are seriously mind-numbing. With regards to a veteran bund-trader,there's a reason why those words are rarely used in the same sentence and that is that few exist. Why is...

Don't you get bored You're obviously 'increasenow' acting under another name with these inane threads Give it a rest

Just the trading hours

CME reckon YM will be quicker using Globex than when it was on e-CBOT(they actually used LIFFE's Connect platform),it's something to do with the number of messages sent which makes response times faster.Expect them to make it even quicker in the near future too. As for more volatile,it's...

If the Bobl tick size reduction is anything to go by it won't necessarily make it easier for people to get in and out. You'd have thought the market would have the same ranges but just trade at twice the amount of prices but it hasn't worked that way,amazingly(at least in the short term)...

The truth is that people have had enough of trading these long-end products.There still are some decent contracts out there,but the bund is living off of reputation,the way these models push it around is a joke.The real volume traders just aren't doing the business,they're being replaced by a...

Obviously touched a nerve with the comment about working for nothing.2008 not started out quite as planned? Hope your judgement of the bund is better than your perception of my bund trading history. Somehow I doubt it. Come to think of it why are you even posting on this thread,is it...

I know plenty of people who have been persistent,so persistent in fact that they ran out of money,paid their clearer,the Exchange,their software provider,actually everyone except themselves - sound familiar? I see it in there all the time,it's the market with so much promise but ultimately it...

I can give you all the analysis you need - Info for 2nd Jan 2008: 99.5 tick range with just 440,000 contracts traded The numbers speak for themselves

It would be interesting to see how many posters from 18 months ago can still be bothered to trade the bund. Wild,unpredicatable moves.Auto-spreaders,program trades,computerised 'flippers',market profilers,all designed to kill off the naive new generation of would-be but never will be big...

I'm glad to hear so many posters are optimistic about the decline of program-trading. Incidentally,the guys at Goldman agree with you piezoe.They're hoping to raise up to $6bn for their 'Opportunistic Multi-Disciplinary Investment Fund' by January and the fund will NOT use computerised or...

I don't trade FX on a day-to-day basis so I couldn't comment on how influential program trading is in there at the moment.
