you are funny! you've been trading for two years and you've never heard of tt!

best decision i ever made quitting trading bund/bobl/shatz 4 months ago. the morning after i quit for good, and realised that i no longer had to look at those damn tt ladders anymore, driving myself crazy trying to outfox the algos, i felt like such a huge weight had been lifted. let's...

thanks for posting link - unfortunately i am not a subscriber...could you copy and paste into this thread please... thanks.

thanks for advice everyone. recruitment "consultants" winding me up almost as much as estate agents! was, and still am trading eurex spreads...plugging away - going slowly insane!!!

i think you have misunderstood. i was saying "today's the day" with regard to the article that was posted in this thread detailing the thoughts of armstrong who talks about 8.6 year business cycles. read back - click on the link - and then come back with another facetious comment. he...

today's the day! ftse off 1.2% as we speak!!!!

DO NOT DO IT. GO TO AN I. BANK. You may well be useless at prop trading. Your degree is irrelevant. I know a lot of people with amazing degrees from Oxbridge who failed at this game. The massive downside is that once you have prop trading on your CV you will no longer be employable in the...

thanks. most exciting thing that's happened in eurex in years!!

anyone got any info. on the buying that took the schatz from it's lows to highs in a couple of minutes this morning?

you're absolutely right. even if you watch bund and try and hit bobl on the way through, you're never going to beat the computers. the size is now ridiculous. it's becoming harder and harder to work out where paper is, and what is real. i used to have a good feel for where the paper was, what...

Fair enough! Let's open it up a bit more...does anyone pay the slightest bit of attention, when it comes to trading, to astrology? A very well respected analyst (at a leading investment bank) whose research I occasionally get, often talks about planetary positions etc.

To quote David Burton in his article on Gann technical analysis published in "Your Trading Edge" magazine, Jan/Feb 2007... "Founded in 1614, New York could have major problems soon, as it is 392 years this year from 1614 - (49 x 8 is October 2006 to October 2007). There will be an eclipse in...

cheers ivanovich. fixed income trader myself, but have been recently having a VERY SMALL dabble in FX on the side. quite enjoying it actually. got fingers burnt trying to fade eur/jpy around 150 a few months ago, now trading a bit more sensibly. more success in cable though recently...

cable up after weaker cpi. why the subsequent sell-off? stronger industrial production? stock market still climbing? i would have thought cpi would take the lead and we'd be higher... any thoughts?

i've been spread trading german debt futures on eurex for 5 yrs. it's ridiculously difficult now. in fact i have been trying to switch and start trading outrights for the last three or four months - mostly in the bund. still trying to get out of the mindset of a spreader...which is...

it really is a thing of beauty if you stand back and marvel at it! was tentatively getting filled long at 23 (support at 22) and in the blink of an eye 28 bid! nice to be on the right side for a change!!! been a tough 5 or 6 sessions. especially after we broke new highs on hawkish...

I have worked in london for 5 years spread trading eurex products. 2 weeks ago i started trading from home via a prop firm in london. i log in over their vpn and trade eurex, liffe, and cbot products. i am amazed at the speed over a 2 meg line. it doesn't appear to be any slower than in an...
