I too believe that you need to be watching bund bobl and schatz. They all effect each other so much that trading without one of them is not a smart decision. However if you can only fit a limited number of orderbooks on your screen just put up the bund and schatz. Bobl is not as important...

Wow they just refuse to break these treasuries lower!!! Pretty choppy day in schatz this morning and was basically just falling asleep watching it trade in a tight range all morning.......bund was moving nice though. Well got to get back to class haha!!! Good Trading

Hey everyone, Sorry I haven't exactly been the most active poster in this thread but I hope to change that! I will always be lurking in this thread and if I see something of interest that I think can make you all money I will be sure to post it. Good Trading

I have traded euroswiss for a few months now and to be honest I can't ever remember it being this slow. There is absolutely nothing happening. I have heard that all STIR futures are slower now a days do to the lack of paper in the market. Has anybody else been experiencing this too?

Yeah that was insane in the bund! I actually was trading euroswiss and short sterling at the time so I didn't get to see it happen. Did bobl and schatz break hard with it or did they hold their ground? Electronic Markets- Can't live with em, Can't live without em

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...

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.

Heard many of these spreaders got slaughtered by autospreaders and the manipulation going on in the orderbook. Any of you guys still making cash trading bund/bobl, bobl/schatz and bund/schatz? If so would you mind explaining further how you exactly trade these things? I currently just trade...

arabiannights You seem like a pretty sharp guy on stir futures. I was wondering if you could share your trading style and maybe give some tips on those market. Do you trade off of the orderbook? If so would you mind explaining how you do it? If you want to pm that is fine. Thanks

sorry posted wrong. Im short at .865

stopped out of my long at .86 Now short at .855

Man are these guys reluctant to bid this thing up or what? lol Its just a two sided trade so far with no real direction although I do think we start to trade a little higher from here. Looking back now I think that big seller had to be paper selling. No local would of sold that many contracts...

Im long at 104.87

mpoufos Just the man I wanted to talk to. Somebody has been selling schatz hard around 104.87 they have probably sold 4-5k so far just hitting the bid. It has to be just longer term paper selling right? I wouldn't think its our big trader? Cause bids keep stepping up and it looks like we...

covered 104.975
