    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...

    75 bp cut

    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???

    basic qns on Globex/floor trading

    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).

    Accommodating Fed?

    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.

    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.

    IB: How does one trade the Mexican Peso on Idealpro?

    Yeah, its heading south, but wait until that black/gold beast gets hungry and swoops down on all those juicy stops. That will send your commodity-currency to the loony-bin for a while. :)

    IB: How does one trade the Mexican Peso on Idealpro?
