2-Year Note Futures Tick to Be Reduced by Half, Effective Jan 13

[tray]

Yeah, almost always these tic reductions hurt liquidity. If this particular circumstance bucks that trend and liquidity in the ZT future is not impaired then that helps me.

Does anyone here trade the 2 year note futures exclusively? I’ve been watching the price action and I like it however I’ve spoken to a few traders that say it’s Not really for retail traders because to get filled it has to completely clear the queue. any thoughts ??

With the exchange spread margins - it is dirt cheap to capitalize (Twos to Fives, Twos to Tens, Twos to Eurodollars, etc.). You will want to swing trade it - day trading it is NOT advisable because of slippage and a very limited intra day trading range.

A friend of mine made a fortune spreading Twos to Fives and Twos to Tens as a Prop trader for TransMarket Group - he carried positions and was very clever about adding to winners.
