Does anyone know why the Bund's volume has dropped so much?Does nobody intraday scalp trade it anymore actively?Or just shit on their hands and position trade?
I know that ALGO's/blackboxes have killed off the active scalping locals,but not so much the volume is this low- Whats happened?

Not even 175k contracts have traded by 11am GMT.-WTF??

There is low volume across ALL products on ALL exchanges this morning. Give me ONE product where there is a larger then usual volume at this time today.

If you're not having any success in the market at this time of day maybe you shouldn't trade during this period.

Also, constantly posting about this in multiple threads will just lead to people ignoring you.

I never said anything about there being low voulme today in particular.I mean generally-like yesterday and the day before that- FGBL volume has not passed the 300k mark by 12pmGMT everyday for the past 2 weeks.

I also never said anything about success, so no idea where you got that from.I just want to know what fellow Bund traders are doing? ( as obviously not actively trading as the volume reflects).Is everyone just staring at the order book ( like dummies) and doing 2 trades a day?

Well, someone's been lifting 142 calls in the bund recently, so looks like there are people out there who think it goes higher.

Its because of the 11 year solar cycle.

Its very highly correlated.
