    Its sloppy trading because Bernanke is talking at 3pm this afternoon.

  5. Yeah I heard he is speaking but honestly what is he going to tell us that we don't already know? Bernanke is worthless in my opinion. He got us into this mess and now he is doing a terrible job getting us out. Just my opinion though.

    Big size at .87 on schatz. Just leaning on that size right now. Other than that there have been little or no opportunities this morning.

    Come on guys any other thoughts this morning?

    Thanks for the post I appreciate it.

  7. Nice job! I think we are headed lower tomorrow on the schatz though. I don't think we will get much of a pop. Treasuries are going to fall hard imo.

    Thoughts?.......Come on guys I feel like im talking to a fucking wall here:D I know there are quite a few bund traders at least that trade intra day. Where are you guys at? What are your thoughts on the market and what are you currently doing?

    This is the whole reason for this thread......to have a place for eurex fixed income traders to gather. A place to talk about the market or post your trades, etc. I think it would be awesome if we could get a thread kind of like the es journal going. Where everybody posts their trades and what they think it happening and what their opinion is. That would be really cool guys.

    Anyway I think there is more blood to be spilt tomorrow in treasuries.

  8. Looking to sell my call before the weekend

    It has been nice to catch most of what I think is a counter trend move. I think we will be headed lower on the schatz on monday.

    Anyone got any opinions about the advisability of position-trading the BUXL? Average hold time would be 3-9 months. How's the liquidity, how are the fills? I'm thinking of adding BUXL to my portfolio of markets, which already includes the Bund, BOBL, & Schatz. Tx

  10. You usually don't hear of many people trading the buxl, which imo is not a good sign. I have never watched it before but I hear volume is bad and has not yet taken off yet like with the others.
