The Bund Bobl Schatz Thread

Well im just about done for the day. All in all not too bad of a day....I took some money out of the market so I can't complain too much.

As for where I think schatz is headed for the rest of the day....I would want to be a seller around 26 and a buyer around 21. Those are 2 good levels for a quick scalp as of right now (things can change though).

Well off to school :D
 
Pretty wild stuff there YT. I find scalping schatz pretty difficult between 3am and 1pm eastern. During the other times, the not so regular hours, there are opportunities that I can see.

Any how at 1pm to I made a few scalps between 104.395 and .375. Hoping to make a few more in that range before 4pm.
 
Quote from youngtrader:

also about eurex markets being impossible to trade off of the orderbook......that is incorrect. All of my trades are based on the orderbook and I do quite well each and every day scalping for a few ticks here and there.

Well I should re-phrase my post to say that it is impossible for me (at this time) :) to trade the eurex just off the order book only. I have been trying to key in on the order book to get a realistic feel for best entry and exits.

I believe Youngtrader has figured it out :cool: I'm still working on it. I may have to find a way to bribe youngtrader to enlighten me with his insight on reading to book.

Well the US market is closed now.. time to head home and get some sleep before the Euro market wakes up...

Im not sure how much help I can give you with reading orderflow (its one of those things that you just kind of get a feel for after watching the market so long). I wrote a little bit about it on ET not too long ago in the stratagy section. I will try to find it and repost it here if I get time. It should help get you started at least.

Talk to you guys tomorrow
 
Well so far today I have sold at 104.395, bought back at 104.365, sold again at .395, bought back at .375, and I have an order in to sell at .395.

Just to recap, 3 weeks ago I bought both a 104.40 call and put. The schatz went up so I sold the call at a profit. I then bought a future on a pullback. I have since been scalping the future against the long put at the open and the 1-4pm time frame. My scalping paid for the option premium a while ago and there 4 whole trading days left
