it is not uncommon for Bunds to take a reversal at London lunchtime which coincides with the NY open. If you are trading fundamentals perhaps you could look at trading the curve as it may be easier to isolate a specific opinion about the market and trade it. GLGT

Hi Jason The price of bunds is driven by a number of factors, you have to remember the best brains are analysing these markets day in day out for a living and it is very competitive/efficient. It is rarely a case that one factor drives the price. Certainly in some cases it can be though. For...

and you might even get filled at a half decent price :cheesy:

from a fundamental point of view bonds rallied up off yesterdays FOMC news, the news was more accommodative and doveish than expected hence the rally. I know the liquidation top at 12 noon London time coincided with the BOE news, there was also 10 year auction in the US later in the day. My own...

very true. It's all about probabilities. I am here for the 1%. Nothing wrong with being a retail trader.

one thing is for certain peeps. anyone posting endless drivel isn't making a bean trading. not a bean.

well said. Most of my interaction these days is with 'industry' people. I am amazed people have the time or are willing to waste time on things that don't matter. :whistling that time could have been put to good use.

funny old game init. arguing / musing/ ranting on an anonymous internet forum. we must have time to burn. lol.

nice summary boilersuit. all in all a poor programme. poorly thought out and poorly produced.

very unlikely imo. The Dax will play 2nd fiddle to the Spoos this afternoon (london time). expecting a reasonable up move in spoos today.

the psychology of reversing a trade is a good talking point. For me the reasons to book profits (get out) are never normally enough for me to take a trade in the opposite direction. I could see how some scalpers might use this though. For example if there is an bullish opening drive from the...

sure we dont know doomberg's capital position or his overall performance stats. just like in a prop firm you have people clipping 5 lots, others 10,20s, larger trades doing 100s and 1000s at the pinnacle. if bill gates dropped a 2000 lot on the spoos we would hardly call that ballsy as to him...

I just read the thread from the start. I didnt realise the OP rinsed IG for 100k, wow, much respect to him for doing so he must have cast iron balls. I have never traded over £100pp at a bucketshop. £750pp on the Dow thats the equivalent of around 250 YM contracts. what a legend.

just like a common thief if you advertise your belongings the market will take them.

one factor is that retail street money has been heavily short the US indices over the last month. Both IG and CMC give us a breakdown of the street money. Still plenty of people wanting to short a mid stage bull market. ;)
