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
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 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
Haven't posted on here in a while. Short a few schatz at 104.31 this morning. Looking pretty toppy here and bund is weak.
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.
