Quote from Mr B:

think about US treasury and Bond futures on eCBOT - they are smoother in their action and less subject to flippers, like a milder bund. also the tick size is bigger and you can generally get cheaper commissions on CBOT, there is also the relationship with the bund that it has which you may find informative.

>> get cheaper commissions on CBOT>>
Do you mean eCBOT on Treasuries is cheaper then Eurex on Bund? I though viceversa!

Quote from scalper21:

Eurex is a tough market to make money. Their matching engine sucks!!! The matching engine only provides a "snapshot" of the market. I think it is sent every .2 seconds(wild guess someone else probably knows the specifics). US markets (CBOT and CME) seem to be a fairer market for scalping than Eurex. This opinion is based on my personal experience. I have lost many dollars in Bund and Dax when the market is sweeped 10 tics against me in one print!!!

>>Their matching engine sucks!!! >>
About the exchange engines, why not consider the Liffe Long Gilt that in on the same LiffeConnect engine, so structurally solid?

depends on the firm.

look at it this way:

what's the ratio of commission vs tick value?
