I get that info from a friend of mine at the cbot who has some contacts in the treasury options pits. I don't know anybody personally in those pits. InvertedCurve I never took into account march expiration. So if I did anything it would for sure be in the june contract. I appreciate...

I agree with you 100%. There is a lot of data out and one must keep a close eye on it. Although I have to say I would feel comfortable with a long here. I mean philly index was the worst in years right? Stocks are just rallying on something that will not make a bit of difference in the...

Guys take a look at ZB! Time to buy this thing up again. Our break to 115.16 today was met with a pop on nice volume. Support around 115.20 should hold us and I think we have the strength to challenge 117 again. In the 10yr options pits SSB sold 10,000 apr 112 puts. Somebody also sold...

By the way I know this is kind of off topic but have any of you ever had experience trading either the sterling or the gilt on liffe? How do you like it? Advantages/Disadvatages? I think they come across as interesting markets and gilt is a 20 deep book (not sure about sterling)! Plenty of...

Well funny how a bad day can turn into a great one!!! Getting some major snow and ice here in Iowa so they called school out early and I raced home to try to see what the markets were up to. Ended up having one of the best days I have ever had today after getting my head handed to me...

Also for the guy who asked about the gasoline/heating oil spread. My dad is long gasoline and short heating oil in both the may contracts. Didn't have time today to talk about it much though and i don't know exactly what price he got them all done at but he did it a few days ago and I think...

Ok everybody whats up? es has been an absolute rollercoaster and while i'm a fan of rollercoasters this is getting a bit ridiculous! The common bitching on et about this market rallying late in the day both today and on friday tells me one thing. I was shorting in a crowded short open...

Are you kidding? The fixed income market moves so fast that you can't look at the book and make a decision? Wow and I thought I was slow! I could see this in maybe crude oil, es, etc but not in fixed income markets. They move slow and there is plenty of time to digest the info in the book...

Yeah I think being able to see a deeper book is deffinantly an advantage. 5 deep doesn't really tell me much. Gilt? I can't trade that market for some reason.....might have to call my broker and see if they can bring it up for me. Thanks ynox1 and hope all going well with you.

Getting chopped the fuck up today in everything. Made some nice money on the flag pattern we had going in both the bund and bobl. Other than that lots of spoofing was going on earlier but its died down a little. Some size came back in bidding at around .40 though. I think that gets taken...

Both the 10yr and the bund are great contracts to trade and if the 10yr was still a 10 deep market on the orderbook I would with out a doubt say the 10yr is superior but since they changed it to a 5 deep book and the bund is still 10 deep I have to say the bund is the better product to trade...

depth of market. It shows all the bids/offers usually 5 deep. A great tool if you know how to use it properly and i'm still learning. I also disagree on the statement saying its impossible to scalp illiquid products. I think you will find those are usually the best products to scalp...

Of course they knew! Thats what im getting at. I was not one of the weak shorts though (they can go fuck themselves because im holding my ground with my shorts). The key is for us small guys to be able to recognize this again when it happens and profit from it. Regardless this is all just...

Manufactured price action imo to squeeze weak shorts and take advantage of dumb longs who bought in at the close and will buy in monday morning. Anybody who doesn't think wall street runs this way is sadly mistaken. You don't get filthy rich playing by the rules guys! Simply somebody was...

nychino371 Thanks for the compliments but I took some heat today on my es shorts (funny how when you last checked the quotes it said down 15 and then all of a sudden you come home and we end up around 10? WTF? I think this was a manufactured rally though and they are just squeezing out weak...

Blubaru Good to hear from you and I hope you are enjoying the journal. How old are you by the way? This is a spread I highly considered selling a while ago and I am glad I didn't as we got a lot of cold weather which propped up the price of heating oil. Gas is still the lagard but natty...

Rtrader You and me both agree there. I just found out that I got a 21 on my ACT today so that should at least get me into some sort of college. To be honest I don't want to go to college but hey I figure if my folks are making me go and its gonna set me back a few Gs I might as well get my...

Exciting day in the markets everyone!!! I just wish my hours would allow me to trade es full time but sadly they don't lol! I have resistance up here in the schatz around 59. A solid break through that and im a buyer but if we can't bust through im a seller. 104.73 is next stop with a break...

Great day overall and well worth missing school:p Shorted 3 contracts at 1345. Average is now 10 at 1359. I honestly think 1300-1320 is in order here. 1345 is first resistance on the overnight and I expect that to hold. I think we could see 30s tomorrow morning right off the bat.

Oh forgot to mention I covered all 5 shorts in the june eurodollar at 97.40. $1250 profit there Im kicking myself today for not adding shorts up around 1365 in es when given the chance!!! (incase you guys havn't figured it out yet I called in sick today at school lol)
