Bund SL, do you think the Bund is now starting to base around 121-05? or is there further scope for retesting the recent lows?

Yep, typo :-) I was going to say less risky strategy but slipped in averse! Hazards of watching the market whilst posting threads on forums :-) rizome

Schatz, Bobl, Bund Hi, just wanted to check if this thread is still going :-) I have been trading Bund Options for 2 years on and off, I like Trading Options on the Bund future rather than directly on the Bund Futures contract which I agree can be very volatile. The approach using Options...
