im getting raped today, someone please put me out of my misery!

Good morning. I have looked at the Euribor further out and yes it is more volatile but only by max 1/2 a tick more (on a slow day - althought that helps when trying to keep up with the Schatz). However, you do have a point when it comes to the costs. I hope one day to start trading between...

I'm still a trainee so to minimise the risk they have only given me one spread to master (they assume im going to lose in the first 6 months ha so true). I have spent many months looking at FTSE/STOXX, FTSE/CAC, GILT/BUND, TNOTE/BUND.

yes.

Hey NLT!! I have been trading the Shatz/Euribor for about 6 months as well, with mixed results (although i had never traded before so it has been a learning curve). As for the 5000 going through in the euribor....sometimes if im quick enough i can quickly hit market on the schatz whatever...

Hey nishok, I was in a similar position to you last year in my last year at university....however i had a law degree ( 2.1....), got accepted to do my LPC at the College of Law (little bit discouraged I couldn't land a training contract), then at the last minute I decided to give up my LPC place...

I hate it when "big" size goes through 5000 offered to 5000 bid when trying to hit market (thinking you can buy or sell as many as you want) and you get stuck behind a huge big size. I feel so bullied in this big boy's market with my pathetic 10 lots!!!!!

my head hurts.

maybe some people are waiting for the budget speech by Gordon Brown.

You know boredom makes one do funny things hehe. working from 7 to 4 30 is tough lol. i was hoping people would post their predictions so i could get some sort of consensus, if anybody people posted, but looks like a hopeless cause. oh well take care

Another day.... Mar 8 Right now: 16 bid +0.8 Close 04 -0.4 C: lets see if u can do better then.

March 7th (afternoon): MAKE YOUR PREDICTIONS!! right now 90 bid +0.11 close will be 74 -0.5

I should have slept in this morning...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I agree Traderdork. I loved it today when the ECB president said something along the lines of "in the long-term we expect interest rates to increase" and everything just came off (Bund came off about 6 ticks). Its a good thing I am near the TV because I can hear everything very clearly.

What kind of connection u got HCAS? With me its slow sometimes, just freezes for maybe 1/2 second when its a huge move one way.
