anyone scalp the bund or dax

[jimmy1]

hi ,
im interested to see in many of you scalp int bund or dax etc for 1/2 a tick or a tick as outrights? i know many people on the old liffe floor did this day in day out and just looked at price action and left all the charts in the cupboard!
just keen to see if many do it provide liquidity all day in todays markets...

The problem with scalping the bunds for just a tick is that theoretically you should make at least as much per trade as you are prepared to lose - you can job in and out making a tick each time for an hour but eventually will get swept away on a big sell/buy order and give back 5 profit trades in a few seconds.

 

[SOCRATES]

Piggy on the railway line,
picking up stones.
along comes an engine,
and breaks all piggy's bones.

"Oh !" Said the piggy......
"That's not fair !"
"Well" Said the engine....
"I don't care ! ".

The moral of the story ?

Piggy should not have been fooling around on the railway line where big naughty engines come and go,
Piggy should have remained back on the farm, safe, with all the other little creatures.
