    Summer Trading

    today NFP Today, i blew my whole weeks (small) profit on the absolute garbage which was the much anticipated NFP. After today, im wishing i had taken all of august off. There are still oppportunities to make money, some days about 1 in 5 its really good, the rest of the days its hit or miss...

    Rotter Yeah, I heard this guy was training like 6guys so his intentions become obvious..you dont train people to compete in the Eurex with you, you train the to infiltrate other markets..so Im guessing these guys are starting to get their feet wet on the ECOT inthese quiet markets..then...

    hey guys, just wanted to know what you thought of the bond trade lately. IMO, just garbage..scalping for ticks and frequently taking trades with R:R of like 1:1..also have the london arcades started to trade eurex us?? the volume has just lifted off..

    EurexUS

    Hey whats the latest from you London based arcades on using EurexUS as opposed to ecbot?? just wondering since the volume has surged recently if the london community is finally starting to trade it..took a look the other day...it was a decent market , 1 tick spread, 150:400 up. not bad cheers

    I think its a short squeeze..the big players probably just wanted to cover their shorts into the summer until sept..if it retraces much more than 50% of the downmove, im probably wrong.

    Bund and Gilt Traders

    Nope, I started on the screen.. the floor is untenable unless you can handle 500lots and up.. Connect is great with the new T1 line...no outages..no price netting..some of the biggest players spoof, but nothing like the flipper (yet).. cheers
