Bunds just popped to the upside and made all time highs, hearing of major stops around the 56-61 level.

 

[mgrund]

Neither my stop or target was hit. Ended closing the position just prior to the close at 43's.

 

[mgrund]

Any reason this BUND is starting to pop to the upside again? ( apart from Technicals).Has any data/news been unexpectedly released?Thanks

 

[THE-BEAKER]

greece and spain bankrupt would probably be the reason

 

[mgrund]

Just sold 63's- stop at 75's target 13's

 

[mgrund]

Still in the trade ( been approaching nearly 5 hours), hopefully at least one target will be hit today, either my stop or even better my target

How long does your criteria for entering a trade allow for the exit? Do you use time-stops? There is no allowance for hope in trading...

It depends on market conditions.However, I never hold the position over night.
