Have dabbled in Euribor for the past 7 years,my advice is don't waste your time.The WSJ published an article reckoning the top 3 traders in there are computer models and it really tells - it was pretty decent until 2003/4 when they started to take over,ridiculous spoofing all day,every day - just divide the size you want to trade it in by 10 and put the position on in the bund.

Amazing.I posted a week ago with my views on Euribor and not one person has come out in it's defence saying how much they love it in there,look forward to trading it every day and make loads of cash out of it - that in itself speaks volumes.
 
I trade Eurodollars actively and wanted to work into Euribor but from the sounds of it there really isn't any use.
 
euribor is an ever changing beast, and it will change again end of sep when time pro rata comes in. Trading has never been easy and never will be. doesn't matter what the product is, there will always be casualties - and those casualties have plenty of time on there hands to posts their demise on sites like these! one of the most enduring aspects of trading is the continual change and development of both the markets and its traders, for they are both the same. enjoy it. were a long time dead.
 
What a wonderfully insightful post to highlight the difference in experience of those who trade for a living and those who do it as a hobby. Lets hope you continue with your vast success and then perhaps you will be able to give up your day job :D, the prop shops in London have plenty of empty seats that need filling up!

Quote from bund_man:

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

The mechanics and execution definately but there are a lot of great stories to go along with it that many people (not you obviously sorry) have as well otherwise what is the point of a site like this and dont say education, actually saying that would be funny.
