...or something from the dark-pool splashed on your screen. :) Who's your broker?

Yes, that's similar to other things I trade there. So how do you convert your position from "HE cme apr" to "HE globex apr" or vice-versa without taking a hit???

The benchmark I see most often is the 2-10-yr, at least at: http://www.briefing.com/Investor/Public/MarketSnapshot/BondMarketUpdate.htm Wonder what your results would be if you tried the two year data instead of the three month, or any other combinations along the curve...

Ok, what steps to you take in IB when you have both underlying symbols HE and LH? I cannot imagine how this is done.

Wow, 6/7 is about 86% :) Why the spread between ten year treasuries and 90 day bills?

Good question. Here's a hint for those who's brain-cells don't go that far back. When was the previous peak for gold? And, who wants to return to a time when rates lurched back-and-forth like that???

Sure, explain to us how you do this in IB using any example. The only way I know is to close the postion in one then reopen the postion in the other, thereby incurring commissions (and other possible side-effects).

Check out the M3 :)

Thanks! Nice graphics.

At the time of the '95/'96 cuts there was no crises compounding things. The current subprime related cutting is much more similar to those dips following the LTCM and 911 crises.

When a consversation resorts to name-calling, it is over. I am unsubscribing to this thread. Ironically, a sign this thread was bad is that SpamGuard immediately marking posts from it as Spam! Must have been the term Pycho that triggered it. Back when I was in college the field was called Human...

Yes, I noticed the MAR 14 one displays under GE0, but may I ask what is a mid-curve option?

Why are there two different Expirys for one month? For example MAR 14 '08 and MAR 17 '08. The MAR 14 one looks like it has more bids.

When you slide that mouse around on the chart that may be both tactal input and tactal output, whether you realize it or not. Don't overreach!
