treasuries roll on a specific one day -hard roll, spooz roll over the course of a couple of days (based on volume- soft roll) when treasuries roll you should not trade the past contract unless you need to get out of something. Spooz always roll a week or two later than treasuries, no one...

bought 10 and 11.5 sat in them for so long it sucks then rally time! hit my targets of 116.225 and 24.5 waiting to sell 116.285 right now w tight stop if they get over that straight to 117 to 117.06 area danger danger danger (ZN U9 not ZB)

yeah had to sit in it for ever, sold at 9:59am central then just sold 16 on the ride back up covered 7.5 to make back what I lost in the am, if they don't get back over 117.08-12 again they are f#cked.

Fed really did not buy $hit they might be confortable with higher yields...as long as spooz say up

had a drink with the head of Globex yesterday he told me to email Peter Barker and he was a receptive guy who would be willing to listen to traders. peter.barker@cmegroup.com

profit taking before rally next week to correlate with spooz selloff next week, hollah at a playah when you see him in the streets. Bought $60 spider puts last week. should hold this 121.02-05 zone in ZN ( that is if we get through important 121.05-06) ZB moved to half ticks for algo...

yeah pretty much scalp 5, 7 and 10 yr cash and futures and spooz, but during the last fall when CTD was tweaking out the basis was moving 10-20+ ticks a day it was fun and crazy but now it is slow and boring like in years past.

been trading the ten year basis now that vol has calmed down you can trade it again it moves about 4-5 ticks a day but goes one direction at the open and doesn't stop or retrace that much. really frustrating trade to be honest with you.

they are about 1/3 through their 300 billion total I was just thinking about later on this year, who knows I just trade em. we probably will stay in some range. whether that is a 3% to 3.40 ten year, maybe, we stayed between 2.75 and 3.05 for a while the range is just a little lower now.

bought 6.007 billion, which is less than yesterday maybe saving their bullets for the long end?

where you been under a rock? what do think caused the 8 handle pop in ZB two fomc's ago when they announced QE. That is why we were talking about a 3.25% coupon on the tens bro. B Gross was saying the fed was uncomfortable with a 3.10-3.20 print in the tens. printing 3.202 as i write this
