Does anyone know what IB's symbol is for the bond. I know the future is YH, buy can we get the cash as an index.
bonds are traded interbank. there is no real cash index, however, the 30yr yield ($TYX/QCharts) represents the major market.
stevene There are three 30 Year US Bond futures: full-size pit traded, full-size A/C/E and a Mini futures traded on A/C/E. Symbols are usually USD, US and XB, but some firms differ. Craig
Sorry, I just realized I didn't answer your question. Sasch is right, there is no real symbol for cash bonds since they are traded interbank. Craig
