    HFT/Algo end in sight?

    It's the same for all eurex bonds,liffe stirs,cme interest rate complex. When sensible,rational people in positions of authority take an interest the game will be at an end for those who can only trade in a way where crazy unfair advantages bring results. Stacking the order book in...

    HFT/Algo end in sight?

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/markets/8700226/Lord-Myners-calls-for-inquiry-on-black-box-trading.html Looks like the right people are taking an interest in the cheating/manipulation that has ruined this business for the last 7-8 years.

    Volume?

    stoxx and es volumes have been remarkable,i think es did 6m+ on 1 day recently. US TY volumes have also been great,yesterday 2m+ already 1.2m today But why the evaporation of Eurex? I can see the bid/offer size has collapsed,but for me the question is why on eurex not in equities or...

    Bund's off the leash

    I too never saw the massive 5pm selloff. I rarely trade that late on Fridays anyway but had that "annoucement" occured earlier in the day I probably wouldn't have done well. Maybe after 120-150 ticks I would have got involved which would've ended badly. Actually when the US indexes got...

    Liffe down?

    So on the busiest hour and a half in ages (not for volume as that's evaporated but for tick movement) Liffe connect suddenly stops working. I wonder if any of the morons who work there might put 2 and 2 together and think "perhaps somethings wrong here that millions of orders/lots are entered...

    Volume?

    I have to admit tthat i'm seriously looking at trading the stoxx. Not getting filled on winners but being ironed out in seconds on losers is getting very boring. Being late by 1 second on paying up and then the market moving 10-15 ticks is also happening too frequently. I may have to...

    Volume?

    I am currently experiencing problems getting filled on about 1/2 of my trades entered. I'm either on the market or it stops short by 1 tick and it's really starting to piss me off that even when these bids/offers are entered an hour before the market gets close,i'm never near the front.

    Volume?

    About 12-13 yrs. I wouldn't call this a normal summer would you? Spain,Italy etc plus the US should make this busy whatever the time of year,I'm surprised you didn't think these major events should get these markets going. US 10 YR volumes very healthy,EuroStoxx also good - Eurex bonds NOT.

    Volume?

    Another terrible volume day in 2/5 and 10 YR Eurex bonds. I guess the lack of responses to my question shows how small the amount of human traders has become in there. Pity that.

    Isv ?

    I mainly trade Eurex products (Bunds and Stoxx) using TT but am getting a bit tired of them after 8 yrs. Anyone care to share which ISV they currently use and why and which to avoid?

    Volume?

    Anyone have any idea where the volumes gone? Bunds have had significant moves within the days range yet 630K by 2.30pm is pretty crap. 5YR and 2YR also well under par. Any ideas?
