Hey, My FGBM and FGBS spreads have been pretty steady this month. Due to the lack of activity I've stepped back, watched the charts, and only traded what I considered to be high probability opportunities. I don't use a stop loss in the traditional sense. When I believe the prices have...

Well done on a good call. How did you know that the Dax would rally?

You don't really need a book or website. Just trade 5 minis against 1 big. However, make sure you work out the costs first as this may make the strategy non-profitable. Also, you'll probably lose a lot getting legged out and I don't think such a strategy would be profitable. If it was, why...

Why would that be? Isn't the theoretical futures price a function of the price, risk free rate, expected dividends and time. I can't remember the equation off the top of my head but it's on the Eurex site somewhere Wouldn't dividends and the risk free rate need to be under zero?

Lol. Well it's no skin off my nose.

Did anyone else notice that the DAX futures have become undervalued wrt the cash index today?

Does he mind having his email address published here? I'd be mighty pissed off if someone put my address on a public forum.

I trade on Eurex. The spread of the FESX, FDAX, FGBS and FGBM.

How much do you make, on average, per contract? I only managed about one euro.

Interesting ideas. Do you just trade once per month? If so, what do you do in between? Do you sit there watching the screen? I usually trade twice per day and find the discipline very tough as there's a long wait between the two trades.

Well, it depends on how far they climb. The life expectancy was very low at the bottom as well.

My stop was hit at 113.50. Looks like I was long and wrong. :(

Did anyone notice that the markets moved about 20 seconds early? How are the numbers released? I hear it's very easy for them to be leaked.

Oh no. I'm long and wrong. My stop is at 113.50.

Hi, I'm interested in learning about currency carry trades, and currency basket trading. At the moment the only place I can find information on these strategies are at Oanda. http://www2.oanda.com/cgi-bin/msgboard/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=15;t=003513. Are there any other places...

I'm long and not wrong. Does anyone want to pile in behind me?

Wow, the UBS floor looks very daunting. http://static.flickr.com/29/63674094_cd68cd470e.jpg?v=0

I wanted to post a poll here.

Are you long or short USD/JPY? I went long a couple of days ago, but just looked at some technical reports from two different banks. Both are recommending shorts, one even recommending doubling up if the pair continues to rally. Am I going to be long and wrong?
