I am looking to put a " long" on in the bunds if hits 114 handle with a view to holding till 120 handle: 3/1 ratio etc...
...just trying to keep this thread a live. The bund did hit that 114 handle a bit a go. bumpin around to 116 now (during US trading hours). - too bad I do all my trading during Euro market hours. I'm thinking of slowly increasing my lot size per trade. (Scalping 3-4 ticks) Is there any particular size where you guys have been seeing slippage/liquidity issues (or more than usual)? I see some pretty big sizes going through.. but I don't have cars to throw around like some do. ** I like this thread... lets keep it up like the ES thread!!
Okay I'll do my best. I'm looking to buy schatz at 104.405. Hopefully ES going up on quarter end will push bonds down generally. I find the schatz will take queues from ES after 3pm eastern. Hopefully I can scalp out for 3-4 ticks on tomorrows open. I have a long put to limit risk
Well I bought schatz at 3:15am eastern at 104.435, looking for 104.495. I think we are still in the range so hopefully I can hold and get the top of the range before my put expires
.. A few good trades today. Just scalping my way through some of this choppyness (EDJSTX). I could have done better if I didn't chase a few trades. got over confident on some of these moves. I'm gonna call it a night (morning). Time to head off to work.
Well I'm still long a synthetic call, I have made a few adjustments at the wiggle during the open. What does everyone thing the odds are that this schatz will get back up to 104.500 tomorrow? It is still with in the range or am I just hoping and not really playing the odds?
The Stoxx chopped me up today. I couldn't really catch a decent trend, and I kept getting stopped out. Was at a small loss for the day. These days are expected though. We will see next week. ** I got a bad fill on one trade today and I ended up missing my profit target on that trade by 1 tick... ended up getting stopped out for a loss. I would have been up a few ticks if that one had hit...
Lets hope this bad luck stops here. I don't like heading into the weekend on a bad note. Oh well... no bottles of premium alcohol this week.
