Well, here's one thing you could try with 2-lots: Each month on the first Friday following the first Thursday at 14:29 German time, go long at...
Payrolls about to come in so I have time to type this :) Didn't go bust yesterday, just lost enough to be annoyed. I had STIR spreads on with...
Managing risk is in a way what the question is about, like the risk of not getting filled on limit orders. Scaling is a separate issue and...
Today was a pretty volatile day by any standard, and that made me wonder (again): What, in your opinion, is the best way to enter futures orders...

Volume at that one price is 16500 at the time of writing, totally dwarfing volume at all other prices today. Who does that much business at one...
Are you switching "to scalper book trader mode" in an effort to control/reduce perceived risk? In that case change your perception. No,...
