German Bund

[Curve]

Anyone know of a leading indicator for the German 10 yr? Never traded it before....

I hear that lately due to the manipulation of this market it is not worth trading. Unless you are more of a longer term trader.

not actually looking to trade it just found that the bund leads contracts that i do trade & was looking to get two steps ahead.

What might those be?

These things tend to only last 6 months or so & I would hate to expedite that.

If you are thinking that the Bund tends to lead the Bobl &/or Schatz/Eurostoxx then I don't think you really have much of an edge here. Just about anyone who trades Bund or other Euro F.I. futures learns this in the first 5 minutes of playing the game.

No, I dont. One of my algos is missing contracts where it didnt used to - it happens. Its a good thing I've been "playing" the game" longer than 5 minutes.
