One day I wish resume trading FGBL on Eurex, maybe from next September...FGBL was one of my girlfriend when I was younger and more naive than now.
In the while I will surely follow your journal.
Good luck to you!

P.S.: FGBL June 18 will expire this week, is it correct or not?

My Future Broker says "Last Trade" is tomorrow (6th of June) at exactly 09:38 CST.

link to calendar.

Today is last day I'll trade the June, tomorrow I'll trade the September.

Hi, KF - may I please ask which broker offers intraday margin of $500 ?

I have $500 for US Index futures and FX futures, but Eurex :

FGBL $1,000
FDAX $2,500
FDXM $1,000

... although as Dutchy Daxy pointed out the other day, EU brokers typically have much higher Eurex margins.

Good luck with your journal - would love to see a chart of one of your trades should you ever feel so inclined

Edit : so sorry, I see you're with Amp - using MT5, I wonder ? I'm aware that Amp have clients using NinjaTrader, as I do.
€10/tick for only $500.... hmmm, that could be a very attractive proposition...

Hello jtrade, they do have cheaper margin requirements on some contracts, which is main reason I went with them.

AMP's margins.

  1. FGBL $500
  2. FDAX $2,500
  3. FDXM $500

I am just using the MT5 platform. I'm aware it's fairly basic compared to others but at least the price is right..

I'll get round to posting a chart eventually. I place stop or limit orders on the DOM price ladder, I have the 30 minute chart up, 5 tick trades don't look particularly impressive.

"You don't need to make a lot, to make a lot" !

I used to know a bond scalper (US 30 yr bonds), he traded a 10 lot & only tried to make just 2 ticks a trade.... $630 a winner, less comms. Sometimes he'd have days with 10 trades, all winners. He only looked at order flow and T&S. It was very impressive.

Opened just below a single print left from previous session, failed to get up through it so yesterdays low looked likely to be tested.. {image}
Starting today there is only FGBL Sept 18, current 159,59 while June is expired. Is it correct?

Actually, I just happened to check the Eurex calendar and it is showing last trading day for fixed income futures is today!

Not sure why AMP's calendar had it for yesterday?
