    26 May Eur session.

    Bonds/notes trading - day 3

    day range is shrinking day by day.
    Better make hay while the sun shine.

    BUXL day 1 day range : 4.4 points
    BUXL day 2 day range : 2.5 points
    BUXL day 3 day range : 1.5 points?


    Trade bonds/notes like
    Germany buxl & perhaps Germany bund , US Ultra T bond.

    Italy, France, Spain bonds - I doubt it moves much

    wonder how are other bonds like Japanese bonds, Australia bonds, GILT ...
    I didn't subscribe to those datafeeds.

    BUXL day 2 day range : 2.5 points
    BUXL day 3 day range : 1.6 points. still very tradable. market was swinging up & down.

    some index futures still tradable but movement was rather jerky.
    India Nifty strong up due to whatever reason.

    crude oil was up - continuation from previous day movement.

    There are some land mines but not many.

    of course, I didn't manage to maximise my profit and I did stepped on
    some land mines.

    Those who traded with huge quantity should be extremely happy.

    BUXL day 1 day range : 4.4 points
    BUXL day 2 day range : 2.5 points
    BUXL day 3 day range : 1.6 points.
    BUXL day 4 day range : 2.3 points. max profit 4700 euro / lot
    BUXL day 5 day range : ???

    US Longterm notes should have similar pattern.
    hmmm. I can see someone buying US ultra T bond just now during asian time.
    This is rather rare.

    also someone is buying Germany buxl during Asian time.
    nothing abnormal. Since Eurex opens the exchange during Asian time few months ago, some traders have been trading Eurex products during Asian time.
