  6. Do Treasuries follow oil, or is it an inverse relationship? Maybe there is no relationship at all. 4 years ago when oil shot from 50 to 70 we followed it tick for tick, that would be cool if it happens again.

    reasons for movement

    high oil slows down economy, fed lowers rates to stimulate, Treasuries rally

    or

    high oil is inflationary, fed raises rates to fight inflation, Treasuries sell off

    I dont really care what the reason is, just what is happening tick for tick intraday

  7. all I have to say is wow, those BOTS were sure spinning today! Traded a little cash for the first time in a while, that is dangerous 312.50 a tick for a 1 lot with no stops! Up to the high all the way back and a nice rally after the pit closed...
