I understand...I know these trades have been taking place for years but have never noticed the gap up or down on the screen. I trade at a place in Chicago w about 10 other fixed income traders and we are all experiencing the same thing. I was just wondering if others were noticing a...

people trade different styles...5 ticks in the 5yr mean something to me I dont care if that doesn't mean much to you. All I am saying is there are "sprays" in the market now and the market gaps a few ticks out of no where. Yes the trade doesn't take place on the screen but the actual market on...

Not sure how one can get smoked? Are you kidding me? Like I said I was long 5yrs and in a split second w/ nothing going on in the market the market evaporated 5 ticks out of no where. So someone is getting this block info real time and the on-screen future market is reacting to it. Don't act...

Anyone else get smoked by one of these block trades yet? Lost 5k on Friday in a millisecond bc some guy decided to come in and sell close to 21k 5yr notes. As if this market isn't risky enough we now have these random rip up and rip downs for no reason. I am trading this market out right...

"If I knew a 100% right answer to your question, I'd be sipping pina coladas on my yacht in the Caribbean, surrounded by a bevy of scantily-clad nubile beauties".... I love that line...the stocks go up trade bonds go down happened back in 2007 and previous years when everyone was printing...

no luck over here either

that was a good call...didn't buy but a good call nonetheless

why would 30yr yields go lower if the fed has no interest in that part of the curve being a part of QE2

I got my 5 back at the end of the day Wednesday you know what that means...its gambling time tomorrow baby!

I usually get my calendar off of Bloomberg but the 2011 isn't on there yet. Does anyone have a link to another one or know when the new ones come out? Thanks!

"zb post auction chop is brutal a 4-5 tick winner is gone in a second unreal size choppers" I didn't trade today but isn't just amazing how it can take 20-30 minutes to find any edge and they wipe it out in a split second? Story of the last 2 years

Bond down a point and half and the trade is terrible...next wednesday cannot come soon enough....
