Can someone please help me in narrowing down and finding what ETFs MIMIC the...... 30 Year, 10 year, 5 year and 2 Year Bonds/Notes ? I am looking for the ETFs that mimic them as close to possible ( Like the SPY mimics the = the ES, QQQ = NQ, USO = CL, SLV = Silver, etc. ) Also, are there ETFs that are both for trading these Bonds/Notes with both a one sided BEARISH bias , and also a one sided BULLISH bias ? Thanks for any and all help
30 Yr- EDV or TLT..... EDV is a zero coupon etf and will have the most volatility. TLT is probably closer to 20 years in duration but close enough since you won't find one that is exactly 30 years in duration. Huge liquidity in TLT. 10 Yr- TLH or IEF.... IEF has duration in the 7-10 year range. TLH is more like 15, but not very liquid. 5 Yr- IEI... duration of approximately 3-7 years which is close to an average 5 yr. 2 Yr- SHY.... duration in the 1-3 range, very liquid
clacy , Thank you very much for posting those FETs, I really appreciate that My main reason in wanting to find ETFs / Stocks that mimic the underlying Futures Markets as close as possible, is to have the flexibility in opting to trade with less Margin ( overnight ) while still Swing trading these Markets ( Long Term ) via buying regular Long Calls and Puts on the ETFs / stocks rmorse, I love the Liquidity of the Futures markets and trade them frequently .... Just am looking for alternatives to trading the Futures markets outright with a different vehicle, as I like to Swing trade and stay in positions for days and even weeks at a time, and sometimes the Overnight Margins to Hold Positions in various Futures markets can get pricey ( take Silver and Gold for instance )
