Bobl, Bund , Shatz And Euribor Traders

Quote from squadron leader:

you are funny!

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

Well, I spreadbet the bund.

A SB broker with very simple charting and no news is all I have ever used to trade this market....

I sometimes wonder how I would do with professional execution and tools...

Also I might be able to improve my spread, which is 3. What spread do pros get?
 
Quote from $preader:

What size do you trade bunds in?

How many ticks is a 'vast deal of success'?

Are you for real?

I trade at around £10 a tick - sometimes I will be positioned with much more and sometimes less. It's hard to say because I swing an initial line and then if the market goes my way I add quickly.

I do this alongside my day job so sometimes I cannot find the time to trade at all. I would say I take around 50 ticks a week on average.

If the trade is a winner I will take 5 ticks minimum (the spread I deal with is 3) but this is almost always much higher - last trade I did I took 105 although to be fair Friday was a big up day.

Yes I am for real. Three months ago I was trading over 80 markets and nothing for profit.

Then I concentrated on the bund looking at price action only with s/r levels and a couple of EMA's, that is it. No indicators, TT ladder, market profile or anything else that everyone has told me I MUST HAVE to trade this market.

Why I chose the bund is another story...lol

if your trading at an arcade or self backed with t/t you will get 1 tick.

OK Bundman,I'm not too familiar with the intricacies of spreadbetting but if you make that much giving up such an edge then you'd be well advised to get a front-end,some decent clearing and go live,put your money where your mouth is,so to speak.
 
I wouldnt mind hearing from guys who trade Euribor .... what sort of range do you guys see in the front 3 months.... whats a typical good trade look like in pip terms and whats the typical hold time ....
