man, i love the bund so much. done after 5 mins of trading. caught the strong move up from 123.16. no losing trade in 6 days already, let's see how long i can keep this up. i hope there won't be anymore stupid sudden news.

I'm usually done for the day before noon (like today) as I tend to reach my daily target in less than an hour. But thanks for the heads-up. I want this crap to stop, it has nothing to do with real trading, just stupid news...

Nevermind, I just googled and google now has this really cool live updates where it shows you as soon as something is posted about the terms you searched for. So Germany and France agreed to bail out Greece. I find it ironic that even though Germany and France are economically the strongest...

I don't have a real-time news feed and even if I did I wouldn't watch it because I already have enough to watch. I do want to know what the reason for these sudden moves though - to understand it better, I guess. Arab, could you enlighten us if there was news about Greece again?

Ok, what is it this time? 12:43 CET: Bund drops hard (from near the high to the low). Good thing I got out of my long position at 123.33.

That was not my intent. I was just trying to help you improve your German and explain why it was not correct, as it is a very complicated language. I'd be glad if someone did the same when I make mistakes in another language.

Thanks Aston. Are you talking about yesterday or today though? Because we had similar action today. I almost bought 123.04 and 123.10 (hesitated in both cases) and it moved up 10+ ticks in a split second. Got another chance at 123.16 which I bought and then exit at 123.33 (the high of that...

I have neither. I wanted to read it myself, I thought you were referring to an article that was online.

Now that's something. Do you have links?

I can also see that the FESX did the inverse at the same time, but I want to know why? What happened so that the entire world decides to buy/sell at the same time without any news??

OK, now, this is getting ridiculous. Bund just spiked up from 123.25 to 123.75 in less than a minute and is right now 123.50. WTF??? Does anyone have an idea of what the hell is going on?

Does anyone know what happened today at 17:32? Bund dropped from 123.98 (near the high of the day) to the 123.66 (low of the day) in aboud a minute and it keeps falling (123.36 is the low right now). There was no news that would explain such a sharp move.

Of course happens, but most of the time there are like 3-4 large trends in the day and if you do get caught when it reverses just when you enter then you should cut your losses quickly. For example, today, 10:49 was tricky when it looked like it would reverse, but then just touched 123.10 and...

What do you mean by "fake" signals? Do you mean spoof orders? I actually really like the way it trades: trends are obvious, S/R works well, good trading range and many moves. Can't ask for more...

I don't know what is going on with the bund lately, but the ultimate strategy du jour seems to be short the open and go long around noon. The bund has followed this pattern for the past 5(?) trading days. It can't keep doing this forever, can it?
