    Called it a day.. and it started good with a nice little up-ward push in the early hours. I did get caught "looking" for a trend at one point when the Stoxx was just choppin around between 3755 - 3750. That gave me a chance to glance over at the DAX while waiting for a set-up. I'm starting to like the DAX, but I have yet to trade it. - Good trading

  2. The problem with eurex futures now is " readng the tape" with algos's etc..the book is very hard to read- tick for tick- i have adopted a 3/1 ratio-unless some fundamental news hits the screen- in which case smash it for all you can

    I highly agree.. my method relies on me being absolutely correct on the direction of the move. Strength and direction get me into a trade. I try not to get deceived by what I see in the book :D But those nerds do get me sometimes.
    I actually missed out on trading today due to the NCAA basketball championship. I skipped my normal sleep time to watch this fantastic game. But I had to sleep through my available trading hours :(

  5. also about eurex markets being impossible to trade off of the orderbook......that is incorrect. All of my trades are based on the orderbook and I do quite well each and every day scalping for a few ticks here and there.
