Anybody else short US 30 Bond

  1. Anyone else feeling like this might be a nice swing trading long oppurtunity? I don't know if it bottomed yet, I just see the ZB getting back up into the 116's.

  5. LOL, the only thing they have incommon is the in in their names ... :p

    Otherwise, one poster comes off as a sophisticated and knowledgeable trader and the other guy presents himself as universally annoying fuck-wit.

  6. wow! when the bond trades like that I back off and trade ZN, 10 ticks up and down with no regard for anything that was an impressive chop traded. Or any trade you put on is a 4 tick winner or loser in matter of seconds till break down or rocket up happens...117.18 offer

  9. sorry looked at my fills no 17's just got 15's and 16's. covered at 11. This is the one response I am going to give you increase now it is called a NOB, like you. You lock in your profit when you are long some ZN and short some ZB at optimal price points.
