When do you guys usually trade ZB, ZN, DX etc? I have been wanting to get in but the price movement has been glacial at best especially after 10.30 AM or so. There is decent volume in the mornings between 8 and 9.30, but is that the peak? Maybe its my broker: ToS. Thanks.
Ladies and genetlemen, I think, I exit 1/2 of this position now. Uncle BEN and "dream team" will defintely send again the wrong message via their "rate decision" today. I think, I am in love again with the bond market...
Well, its been a bloodbath hasn't it folks? That one day rally on Monday was a sucker wasn't it? But I'm not holding any shorts here. 3.50% on US10 We may rally hard for a couple of weeks into year end, some carry type trades look interesting now. I'm not sure if you guys & gals trade Eurodollars but Dec13 Libor at 3%+, well that's a stretch IMHO with Bernanke likely on hold rate wise for six months. The sell off I said would happen one month ago, I think the easy money has now been made, maybe back to the slow grind up for the next 12 months...
Martinghoul Just curious, from a trading perspective how you do manage your entries and exits? Did you scale into your longs, or do you generally add when the position moves in your favour? And as for your exit, do you use stops? I've had difficulties the past couple of days stopping out numerous times on various long attempts...
