The volume and range are usually not worthwhile to trade the first hour. When Eurex originally introduced opening 1 hour earlier few year back, I was a bit worried about missing good opportunities (I live in NY and my wake up call is at 2:40am), but nothing much happens during this hour, and...

Thanks for the links. Great video. I read both of his books, but still can not understand how mandelbrot's work can help with markets.

The person who gives me updates, asked me not to reveal the fund name on any public forum.

I just got update on the fund. Unfortunately for their investors, they went bust. This week they realized 85% loss from the top of their assets. The thing that amazed me, is that some investors took out large loans and dipped heavily into their home equity line of credit to invest. The...

Yes, there is one. Eurex calls volatility interrupt. However, they will not disclose formula. I have called a while back, and this is what they told me.

I still did not trade today, but got up earlier to observe DAX, and the book is definitely thinner and spread is much wider than usual. On the flip side, FESX is more volatile and now tradable for me, so unless DAX goes back to normal, I will switch to Euro Stoxx. I saw the similar market...

I have not been trading this week due to being sick. Perfect timing, isn't it. :( I just logged in and so that DAX market depth basically disappeared. The book has around 10 or less contracts on first 5 levels and spread jumps between 3-10 ticks. Has it been like this all week? Or is it...

Milton Friedman said that first real and big recession will definitely put EU to a test, and it could break it.

You can buy data directly from eurex. Just go to their website. They sell tick data, and you can convert it to any format that you need.

The only difference between full and trial versions is that full version allows you to trade live, and you need real account for this anyway. Just call them, and they will answer any of your questions.

Try ninja with zen fire feed. You will be really impressed. You can get real time zen fire from Mirus futures or Amp futures even without opening an account.

I have some additional information on the fund. First of all, my decision was not to invest. The fund took in a lot of additional capital, and unfortunately lost 20% within 1 week, more like in 2 days during last market turmoil. According to someone whom I know personally and who is...

From WSJ: The Paulson Plan Will Make Money For Taxpayers By ANDY KESSLER In 1992, hedge-fund manager George Soros made $1 billion betting against the British pound. In 2007, John Paulson's Credit Opportunities fund correctly bet against subprime mortgages, clearing $15 billion for the...

Pabst, Great Summary. What do you think about this whole cap execs pay. It looks great on paper, but if it is implemented, what would be their incentive to stay to help clean up the mess. But if you do not hit people at their wallets, how will they learn not to do stupid things again...

I can not believe my eyes. I thought it was a joke, but apparently not. I hope this gets big media attention.

Current volatility is great for intra day traders. The only issue is the market sometimes moves so fast that I do not have even a second to react and click a button. I have learned a while back that chasing can be very costly.

But for how long?
