I wanted to ask for people's opinions on this matter? I trade euro bund futures. I place a sell limit at a specified price. the market is already 2 ticks away and i see it is going away even further and it won't come back so i cancel the order. however without me knowing the broker...

Since the cme has weather and carbon futures, lets have volcano futures and options LOL. we can bet on eruption dates! the madness never stops.

i don't know wtf is going on but something is deffinetly brewing behind the scenes. I have never seen liquid contracts such as the euro with that kind of pathetic volume during the london/us overlap session. the big boys are waiting for something!!!

yes i noticed that too, i think maybe they are waiting for something on Greece. I can't think of anything that is bigger right now.

all of the major ones euro, aus, gbp all the major ones it seems like everyone had withdrawn and is waiting for something big i have not seen these kinds of volume drops. ever. weirdest thing ever.

Over the past 2 days currency futures volume is almost non existent. Is something going on that i am missing here? i have never seen volume like this during the london/ny session.

if things get that bad all the productive farmland will be seized and secured by the military, do u honestly think u gonna have your own land when everything else starts falling apart? unless u live in the himalayas you are not out of reach or by any measure safe! keep that in mind.

i guess you get what u pay for as the saying goes.

currency , jpy eur, etc the majors

nope i am getting charged commish 1.82 clearing 3.20 nfa .02 transaction .50 so total 5.54 round turn. seems kinda pricey no ?

This is for currency futures. My brokers is currently charging me 3.20 clearing and exchange + 1.80 round turn? Would u say this is expensive? I would think the clearing fee should be lower? Anyone else can offer anything better?

the writers for the next wall street movie sequel should be taking notes here. You can't make this stuff up! LOL

which broker? you can send me im if u don't wanna post here.

I got 10 tick slip during peak conditions, imagine during overnight. all bets are off as they say!

Yeah i was looking to catch a bear trap, but looks like i got caught LOL. Live and learn thats trading for ya.

Well regardless, I think this was a good discussion. Wanted to get some opinions and see how other traders look at this kind of slippage and it seems within normal so that is what i wanted to find out. Thanks!

how can u see that? can u send me a screen? if there were a lot of stops shouldn't then price rebound hard? Thanks!

10 tick spread? LOL what kind of brokers do u guys have?

Seems i get more slippage on gold then on the currency contracts. Even though gold seems to have higher volume go figure. You would think more volume = better execution but i guess not always! Live and learn!
