    Schatz v/s Bund

    Hi, what might be the difference between trading Euro-Schatz futures and Bund futures? Do these travel in opposite directions, I mean, can we have a scenario that we go long on Schatz and short on bund at the same time? Please advice. Thanks.

    Algorithmic trading

    After readng all the comments I am reminded of the time when people thought landing on moon was impossible...but it was done. Similarly, computer thinking like a man is very much on the cards, and I , for one, do not believe it is miles away. I feel such a thing to happen is just round the...

    Well, I am new to the terminology too. All I know is that a prop firm called TCA MArkets train traders, and all my research has shown that it is a legit company...and how successful depends on your own personality and perseverence. So, replying to tomorton, I only know that day-trading is...
