    Proving a track record?

    That's exactly why I'm looking for a "job" rather than trading my own account. What I do is so consistent that it feels like an arb. But if the market conditions change I could easily start losing. And that would be very nasty if the conditions changed as soon as I started trading for myself...

    I normally hold it for a few days. And go to the Platinum Bar to kill the time while waiting.

    Eurostoxx / Dax arb

    There appears to be a mispricing in the relationship between the Eurostoxx and Dax futures on Eurex. Now is therefore a good time to buy Eurostoxx and sell Dax. Please let me know if you have success with this trade.

    Edge Trading

    ESX futures have dropped off in the last few minutes despite a lack of news. Looks like the big boys are trying to hit some stops. I'm going long for a short term punt.

    Where Did You Find your Strategy?

    I don't use indicators. I watch the depth in the order book and movement of the bid/ask spread. This is very consistent for me but highly unscalable.

    Where Did You Find your Strategy?

    I haven't really found anything that I apply, on the internet or in books. Though some stuff in forums can be interesting. I found my edge by staring at the charts for months on end until I developed a gut instinct for what would happen.

    Dax feels weak

    Dax (March contract) has just confirmed a breaking of the 6,600 support level on my charts. Looks like it could easily drop to 6,520 this session. Time to go all in.
