Bund/Bobl Spread Strategies

[DemonHeadmaster]

Hi,

I'm thinking about trading the bund/bobl spread as trading either contract outright is much more riskier and putting on a spread will reduce that risk.

Is there anyone on this site who currently trades the spread? If so, I would be interested in learning what type of strategies they use and what criterea is involved for entering/exiting positions (short/long term charts, market profile, etc....).

Feel free to PM me!

Cheers,

DH

Hi, I trade this intra-day, v.short term. Look at 3min charts. Refer to bolli bands.

Look out for economic fundamentals / news, watch indices, oil, t-bonds and try to trade with ' a broader picture'

isn't this spread dead as a duck these days?

still my bread and butter. Was definitely easier a couple of years back.

like everything worth trading!!
nature of the business - you just have to improve with (beyond ) the new competition or move on to the next growth area.(whatever that is??)
