Asparagus Nice to hear from you. While I do not trade forex I do have a buy signal in euro if we can break through thursday's high I believe. As for the dollar they might as well just start piling it all up and dropping a match. This stuff is almost worthless and it doesn't look to gain...

lol I take that as an insult to be called increasenow! I most certainly am not him under a different name. Check out my journal called youngtraders commodity journal and you will find that this isn't my first rodeo in the commodities game. I am a highly sucessful commodities trader that is...

Shorted 5 british pounds at 195.60 Looking to get long euro at 147.10........maybe Also looking at getting short the bobl pretty quick. I know this isn't my usual trading and that my posts are not near as entertaining as they once were but to be honest trading these financial futures...

Agreed. I remember walking around the cme pits a few years ago and if I remember correctly there was like 2 older fellas in the pork belly pit (I can only imagine how exited they get when they see a market order come in). Sadly I think it along with the other futures contracts will become more...

Thanks for the great insight. Yes I can and do think like a trader (I have been a trader since age 11). I have traded just about every type of market out there (sucessfully) and would like to add eurex products to my arsenal. My biggest problem is that I get very complacent. Therefore I...

zf trader Thanks for the advice. I am not trading breakouts although I will keep that bit of advice in mind to maybe fade the move. What i am trading is just a simple scalping method trying to get 3-4 ticks while risking 3-4 ticks. Its basically just looking for a continuation of the...

lol thanks but I really would like to hear some words of wisdom about the trading the eurex products.

I believe in march but im not for sure. They have no liquidity anyway and open interest is a complete joke. Watch when they go completely electronic as there will be absolutely no liquidity.

BondTrader50 Thanks a lot for the advice but sadly my hours don't allow me to trade past 7:30. I currently am trading currency futures between 3am-7:30am. I think these hours would probably work well with the bobl and schaz too. I have traded the bund before but not with a scalping method...

Im seriously considering trading eurex's fixed income markets. I have been watching them lately and they are quite different than other futures. I find that you can pick up some nice scalps (2-4 ticks) by watching shorter term tick charts and looking at volume to enter the trades. Although I...

usman88 Awesome call on the crude! I was lucky to get short 1 contract at 93.42. Got out at 91.42 for a $2000 profit on the day!!! I was going to hold because all systems seemed go for us to trade lower tomorrow but I chickened out lol! Looking back I wish I would have held short and...

jjrvat What tick chart frame do you recommend using for the british pound? I am currently using the 17 and 34 to scalp the pound for a quick 6-10 ticks. Is this too big or too small for my trading stratagy? I was wondering if you find a different tick setting produces more waves and the...

Thanks man I appreciate it! I agree the market will present its best opportunities when everything is going to hell.

Thanks a lot! Nice work so far if your up 15 already. Agressive trading can be good though except for the draw downs. My dad used to trade the same way. Big contract size and holding through good times and bad.

LOL yeah thats me the sadistic 17 year old trader (I can't help it). I think the pound could easily pop to 2.00 before we make our way back down to 1.85. We are stronger this morning up 70 ticks. The volatility sucks right now so im getting kinda bored.

Reaver Journal looks great so far! I see you trade the pound. I also trade the pound (futures) intra day during early morning hours. I don't know how long you usually hold trades for but take a look at a weekly chart of BP. From the looks of it I think we are headed to 1.85! I do think...

Rtrader2525 Thanks, im trying my best to get to my goal this year and hopefully there will be more profits to come but no doubt there will also be draw downs. Total profit this year is $6,747 so far for those who care.

usman88 Thanks a lot for the heads up on oil and for the warning earlier. I appreciate it a lot! Im out of all 3 contracts though at 92.78. Total profit $4,770. Not bad but I didn't expect this pop and im not letting them take away all that cash. Currently im mixed technically in...

Reaver Cant wait to start reading your journal. Your a sharp guy and I wish you the best. Good Trading YT

Aretha Franklin huh? Havn't played that one yet. That must be one of the games rated M for mature. My mom says I can't play those until im at least 32. Give it a break man. You are a 40 year old 2 bit loser who probably couldn't trade his/her (I havn't decided yet) way out of a box. I...
