Slev, thanks for the shout-out. Firstly, I don't run the chat room, it is communal. Secondly, it wasn't the fact that you were trading on the simulator that got my goat. I started on the sim and I still believe it is a very useful tool for the beginning trader. The problem was that you didn't...

there is now a 2nd chatroom, which is more focused on STIR's. the 1st room, which the link above is for, is more banter, Fixed Income and all sorts. here is the link for the Short Sterling and Euribor room: Chatzy - Short Sterling and Euribor

sounds good. i'm in

i think i know which move you are referring. was it the end of March/Start of April? from memory it started the day that Sterling went to half-tick and occurred across both bor and sterling. ps. it's not just drunks that trade the euribor after 6pm on a friday. people trying to avoid their...

euirbor just went nuts after 6pm. H11 was down 16 ticks from settlement at one stage.

blink and you miss it. i look up and u9z9 is 27 bid with 28's looking weak. you could pay 18's yesterday morning. strange old move. big u9u0 buyer. lifting most offers when they are close to a tick off market all the way up

by the way, i caught up with a rep from Liffe this morning. they won't say conclusively that Sterling won't be going back to the half-tick at some stage. in fact, i got the feeling that if and when the financial crisis calmed down, and the pound gained in strength against competing products...

van damme? i always wondered what he went on to do after Streetfighter flopped these moves in sterling the last couple of days have been absolutely bananas. had one on the bor and it looks similar. the front bor 12 month/calendar traded nearly 20000 lots yesterday. probably means it'll be...

not much that i can see as of yet, although i am heading out of the office now and won't be back until NFP. there is a -1 paper offer in h10/m10/u10 that can be lent on. good to see that box coming back... finally

I just pulled April Euribor up to take a look. it's the first time i've looked at a non-quarterly to be honest. it looks a bit thin on volumes (4000ish lots) compared to the rest of strip. are there any locals that trade it, or is it all institutions?

i was happy to see the paper buying come into h10/m01/u10 yesterday afternoon. It continued on today as well. the trade of the day was to be long the fronts and short the backs (spreads). crazy day in sterling today. it's so good to have the full tick back

TheBigDog, good call on the u9u10. more selling of that again today and now 80 offered

black swan? thats when you start averaging in. they always come back...

i wonder what haircut Noel is sporting today. that crazy guy

fair play. 45p a side is a bit steep so i can understand your aversion. back to what we were talking about the other day, there is alot of incentives for liquidity providers the further out the curve you go. you could basically have 2 winning trades out of 10, scratch the rest and live...
