Anyone been trading today? I scalped a few ticks on the Bund, but looking for a few more opportunities now, depending on how the US Equity markets open.

I am, taking a break from STIR math (dull).

long Bund @ 116.34

I just couldn't get up today guys lol! So needless to say I didn't trade this morning. US markets are pretty slow so I bet Europe was the same way.

Wow...bunds just fell below 116.00 !

Yeah I luckly enough was on schatz 3/4 of the way down (then I quit to trade euroswiss and short sterling......boring). You could see it was gonna happen though. Somebody sold around 10k into schatz before it started to break hard. I was initially short then reversed and went long then short again but in the end it payed off lol!

Good Trading Guys

25000 @ market. fat finger looks like.

word is it was a fat finger. Eurex closed for a short while and re-opened 5 ticks lower. that was like a 160 tick move. I think there will have to be busted trades off the back of this. There is an investigation underway on anything under 115.30 I'm told.

Anyone know what the bust range is for FGBL?
