Anyhow... shorting the SPI as a positional play for the next few weeks.
Feels like something's brewing in China.. not sure it'd amount to anything but the iron ore companies have been shot first.
Still Short?
Stopped out about 140 ticks ago... it went 2 ticks above my stop
And I took money out of IB as I need to settle on a property in a couple of weeks... so I don't even have enough cash in there to re-open
P.S. Had one of my busiest days trading pairs... a new record in terms of open exposure. But today's P&L was 0.00000016% of that exposure. Now you can't get more delta neutral than that!

That's a real bugger.
I really thought you still had that!
I was lambasting myself for not doing the
Same thing.
Go ask the boss for some futs limits......
yep of course, always the way . I too have had a record day.... of red!!!.... (only for the year though )

What do you reckon the maximum spread would need to be to be able to profitably trade the Seng actively/intraday through a CFD assuming no commission (if it would be possible at all)?
Hopefully there'd be a bounce in the next day or two. I'd take another shot at it if I can sell some stock to free up the capital, albeit with less favourable RR.
craziness across the aussie curve today!. yesterday everything went bid on the sh*thouse u/e figure. today we've continued to go bid but there's big orders flying everwhere. I just pulled my bid as they lifted an offer I have no idea whats going on??!!
big boys are back in town!

They will be doing something and the good thing is they cannot hide it. Jump there is a ride to be had somewhere!
Setting longs.
Id be surprised if the west or the
world doesn't resume long tonight
at best.
Range around again at worst.
Lately I've had a really good 'feel' (market context!!!!) as to what's going on but today its just been completely out the door.
I'm pretty sure there's either a couple of big boys repositioning after the number yesterday (shorts covering?) and there's a few guys taking profits in there as well.
Feels likes on the back end of our curve they are TRYING to sell it and they hold it down hold it down then something like yesterday happens and they scramble, cover and then try to build again. It's like they are thinking 'well rates are low and can't get much lower so the bonds have to be a sell' but then you get the random triggers + data points which keep hurting them. I think I agree with them in that long term rates are on the up but trying to time it in the market is next to impossible.
remind's me of the aussie, Stevens was jawboning that thing for months and couldn't push it down, you just couldn't sell it, then finally it cracks and now im sitting here going man why did I sell the aussie 9 months ago it was soooo obvious..
Yeah looks like a game changer to me. Break-outs but Curve - yeah holding so far.

Maybe that fella over in Singapore is just back from holidays and is squeezing everyone out
I don't care how big K and his mates are he can't control the back end of the curve, the bill spreads maybe but out in XT land there's plenty of guys having a say.
NFI on the curve.
