  2. Anyone else using Bloomberg find that they were about 30 secs late on the 7 yr Auction results yesterday?

    What are you guys using for news/economic data releases?

    Reuters? Bloomberg?

  3. I use BBG, but I wasn't there last night... Even if I were I have nothing to tell me that BBG was 'late', since BBG is the place where I get the results from.

    Just out of curiosity, they were late vs who/what?

  5. I sold that where you puked. Sold some 118'9s and 10s this morn, got kinda lucky on that, turned out to be a nice winner. Was taking a lot of heat on the way up, then sold a little bulk up there.

  7. I tend to do that all the time in the bondos. It just makes it look sooooo goooood...then OH, blew my wad. Always end up bailing on highs and lows in the bondos.

  8. Treasuries quickly went bid hard for several prices prior to Bloomberg breaking the results. ie they were reacting as they would after any economic release but bloomberg didnt break the results until about 30 seconds into this move.

    Anyone else have this problem? Or positively DIDNT have this problem with Bloomberg?

    auctions are sort of funky like that... can get caught out on a limb very quickly.

  10. I am not going to go in details (it is embarrassing) but I had one very f&*%ed up day. Was able to bring the P$L to black but I need a bottle maybe two.

    Hate end of month end of week, end of anything days.

    I still have tons to learn. The month ended well but I had few close calls. If I can learn to avoid them I should me on my way.
