This morning I saw a perfect opportunity on the EuroStoxx. Unfortunately for me, my eyes was a little too focused on the Bobl at the time. The play is that there are very large offers just above a high volume price node, and you know that IF they get pulled, there will at least be [...]
A nice little scalp at the end of the day. It was late in the day for me, so I was just about to call it a day, but then I saw these huge offers on 10, 30 and 5-year T-Notes. In hindsight it would have been better to hold on to the trade longer, [...]
Last week I did a post on cutting cost. Unfortunately I was a little bit hasty with my assumptions. Not that you can´t trade without monthly fee, it was more about the quality of the feed. After reading John Gradys at nobsdaytrading blog post on the difference between Kinetick feed and TT Feed, I contacted [...]
