i have developed a spreadsheet to manage live trades and closed trades to allow paper trading of a theoretical 100k account. please see trading spreadsheet. let me know if any ideas for improvement

hey man, it depends on your time frame/targets. if you're targeting a 5tick profit then having a 20tick stop doesnt make sense but if you're aiming for 70ticks then it probably does. my hard stops tend to be pretty far away as 95% of the time i kill the trade ahead of that stop based on...

taken profit at 137.67 on the sidelines now. see how the market takes these IMF headlines

long again 137.18, targeting new highs. stop 136.95

yeh that would have been the better trade. i'm out at b/e

stop and reverse. 137.30. target 137.67. hard stop 136.70

see how mkt reacts around the high here on the back of the weak numbers.

thanks guys. these days it's all very much for muchness. The equities guys are watching the bond markets who are watching the sov cds markets who are watching the fx markets whoe are watching the equity markets la la la. we're in a period of truly technical markets which is why we're seeing low...

DJ, i was hoping you would come across! i agree with what you're saying albeit with an ignorance to exactly how you get the levels. I tried taylor's book a while back but just found it too heavy. I mainly use pivots/price action at pivots and general market sentiment/cross market...

hi all. just started a bund equivalent thread over here http://www.trade2win.com/boards/money-markets/139562-anyone-scalping-day-trading-bund.html#post1727858 be good to get you guys and all your wisdom involved. thanks

i'll kick it off... im short from this morning average 136.90. stocks look heavy but then they looked heavy yesterday and the bund sold off aggressively. is it time the market started seeing german risk as real risk?! stocks off, bund off. the new norm? perhaps not. stop just above today's...

hi all, this is a new thread to discuss trades on one of the most liquid futures markets in the world. whatever your strategy, whether you're new or experienced, discussion is most welcome.

italy 1 year is nowhere near greece 1year. greece 1 year is trading around 40c - yield is >200% - dont forget you only get 50c back (at best!) though so guess that isnt a true yield

anyone scalping/swinging the bund thread might be nice DJ. I'd certainly get involved

the meeting is off. oh no. the meeting is on. mkt is such a joke these days!
