    Most bloomberg.com articles are just horrid. try read the grain ones. most of the stuff is just WRONG.

    as inverted said, get a squawk or at the very least know when stuff comes out and avoid the market when you can not hear the news.

    Avoiding the large pot holes in the road is crucial on news releases!

    I've been trading ZN for approx 3 years with not much success so far, but im pressing on, driving forward, learning each and everyday, exploring new ideas and new methods.

    I was wondering if those who regularly follow this thread and consider themselves experts in trading treasuries would be willing to share some ideas on the best methods/techniques/tools to trade the treasury market. I understand if you don't wish to give me specifics...but some pointers & directions would be extremely helpful to me. Id be indebted to you guys if you would consider this.

    Hope to hear back from you guys.

    Thanks

  6. More chop until Europe closes (which should be the US close as well)

  7. BondTrader when does Europe close? My guess is 11 AM ET that is 4 PM London.

    I went long a 124 May call for 30/64. It looks bad now. I hope this thing bottoms out soon. :eek:

  8. Mostly 10:30 central. Keep an eye on the world market closes here.

  9. Looking for a dip to new lows in ZN. May get down to 122120. If it doesn't happen by 11 I'm done for the day.
