Shamus you spoken to Tommi for me yet??

to pay your clearer loads of bro....all those schatz/bobl traders must be getting chopped to pieces.

market been closed for days..very thin order book...wouldn't take much for someone to hunt for the stops left in the system. Personally the market is still too thin for me i will return after New Year.

on mine i put offer in, i can't change size of the offer only pull. it is all or none.

same everywhere...eurex did upgrade at the weekend, all tt users at my place still out the market, those on other platforms experiencing problems but can trade.

I am hearing that Eurex did an upgrade at the weekend, most arcades in London have had connection issues all morning, especially with TT.

tough shit, serves them right for trying to bully the market.

hearing someone fat fingered 4000 lot.

Are you guys all based in and around the GTA? I am moving from London, England to Wasaga Beach, Ontario this weekend. I trade Bond, STIR, Commodity and Index futures both for my PA and a London Based Hedge Fund, i previously worked on the Liffe floor in London for a big US Bank from 94 until...

Yeah but the way DTB worked then, there were no ISV's you had to use the GUI. You had a choice of screens, using the TRAD screen you had to press the buy button then type the quantity the tab then input price, then tab and input the account. It was ridiculous. I also started down LIFFE as...

as someone who was on the LIFFE floor, and started trading on DTB via the gui in 1998, i have to sasy he is correct 17 years. DAX was listed on DTB, as was Bobl and Schatz, Bund had a dual listing on LIFFE and DTB however it was around middle of 1998 that Eurex got the liquidity. Not something...

yeah, because there are absolutely no algos plugged in bunds and bobl.

i wouldn't say a paradise, but it trades nicely chart wise...especially on a daily chart.

i rarely work stops on Eurex, all the algos in my opinion and constantly stop hunting....showing locals something on a plate and deliberately stoping them out. I manage my own stops going to market when i feel i have got it wrong. For that reason my entry size has been reduced dramatically in...

depends on your size and how crucial the level, as well as the timing....over a number you will get loads of slippage.

no i know someone who had a load of gtc's in bund and bobl, offers above the market and got stopped out near the top...done his bollocks. However, i know another 2 guys who cleared over £500k that night. i believe it turned out to be related to the matching problems on Dow didn't it...

scalpguy, sorry i never noted the times. But when i refer to a spike in my records i mean very rapid...likewise a minute.

my support desk phoned eurex last night and they said nothing busted, however they had 30 minutes in which to change their mind. Longest 30 minutes in my life.

i know one who did very badly that night aswell.

trade US hours mainly. Not quite 100k, but who's counting?
