Anybody else short US 30 Bond

Quote from Surdo:

What was that 11 tic spike down in ZB....20 YR TIPS auction???

Treasuries declined after the government auctioned $6 billion of 20-year inflation-indexed securities to yield 2.219%, higher than the most recently-issued securities had been trading before the auction closed. Demand seemed lackluster as investors bid for 1.58 times the amount of debt for sale, the lowest so-called bid-to-cover rate since January 2006. Buying by indirect bidders, a class of investors which includes foreign central banks, was the lowest since January 2005.
 
Thanks NB!

On another note.....I noticed the Pit traded chart is a waste of time, is the Pit traded ZB volume actually that anemic? This seems recent on the Pit chart vs a Globex chart.

Why do I only have 13 data points on my USU08.p chart?
I am aware of the CME website and volume listings.

I have a few strategies that run on RTH not 24 hour globex, this is why I am asking, I created my own custom session using GLOBEX data during RTH.
 
That was a huge move. My experience is, after big rallies like this, you get a day or two of follow through, at least.

Of course, it's all up to the equity markets. bond traders can't think for themselves. lol

new home sales could give a lift too.
 
well dang, that was another huge move

I only captured from 115 to 114'15 short but better than a loss!

Missed my short entry at 115'15 by '05 DOH

then chased it all the way down to 115 to get an entry (Like a doofus)

will try re-enter yet again short at 115 with more orders at 117 and 119
