Right now @ 13:40h we have less than 34000 futures contracts traded - even the price
is up in the Dax future of exactly 2%!

A normal trading day (like last week) has end of Day a total of around 140000 contracts.
This Monday is out of any normal trading day.

You are right - the waves were "normal" - but the volume was not :-) It broke down after EUREX was down. GFIs1

Strange, I don't see that on Eurex or Xetra. Seems on par with last week, apart from the halt on Eurex.

Not really happy on the development during the morning:
1) There are missing half hours of trades...
2) The trades done were in volume like in after hours....

Watch missing volumes here:

YES - I do not interfere with entry and exit times that are important part of the rules. In fact - today I was online - while normally the trade is sort of "set & forget". To get a normal longtime result (in this thread 4 years) I will not interfere - even during exchange problems to have fair results. My warnings were for some followers to get out when things are no longer normal. GFIs2

This is both wise (in a long-term view) and impressively ballsy.

Yes, that's just the halt and then the recovery as expected, nothing else to see for me.

Xetra stocks and index was normal all the time including strong breadth, likely short covering after taking out last weeks highs, but of course can be anything. I certainly expect strong things in both directions in these areas and times but I think the halt was just a halt and looks like it should. There maybe other Eurex products that have put that exchange under more strain this morning, it will be interesting to see if anything useful gets reported.

Finally a good week with only winners

There is no Friday trade today - once - gap up plus yesterday's hi/lo range.
