    Yield spread using Bond futures

    Sorry for being late, on vacation right now. When trying to chart any spread/ butterfly on CQG the first thing you have to remember in which format CQG display price. If you open a new chart & chart TYA, you will see something like 118155 which is actually 118 + 15.5/32 =118.484 in decimals...

    CQG's trade platform

    I did not fully understand you here, i can access DOm of many instruments but when i try to demo trade it says not tradeable. I do have the access to DOM of most instruments. Edit: i think it has something to do with exchange, i am able to see full dom for all instruments of CBOT & CME

    Bund Bobl Schatz Fly

    I used to look at both but what i have observed is that either 2 or 10 reacts more on some days with 5s getting on either 2s side or 10s side so today currently i see 2s +1.8bp 5s +1.6bp 10s +3bp This is just a crude way but i have not found anyway to analyse this thing on intraday basis.

    Yield spread using Bond futures

    I have to say that most times futures spread folow cash very closely but this did not happen today, specifically after chicago PMI 2-5s & 2-10s were basically unchanged to slighly positive but futures spread went down. After wards the steepening in cash 2-10s did affect & futures spread rose in...

    You got me wrong , all i said was that i pay attention to German 2-10s to gauge any chances of Fly becoming directional. No i dont trade 2-10s.

    Yield spread using Bond futures

    Yield spread using Bond futures
