Anybody else short US 30 Bond

Quote from Martinghoul:

1. I don't know what CQG is, but I am seeing 1.5 - 2 ticks spread in US 30y during NY time.
2. The EUR/GBP mkts are closed during Asian hours. Nothing trades, so it's no wonder that you're seeing zero liquidity. It only makes sense to look at the EUR mkt between 7AM and 9PM GMT. Again, I don't know anything about CQG.

CQG is the best charting software that most professional traders in Chicago and elsewhere use, that is unless you work for a bank and get handed trades by the desks...has two different cash feed options either Brokertech (ICAP) or ESpeed (BGC). If you see Tullet or Garban that is great but not necessary to scalp futures.

OKI-DOKI, dude...

I use mostly TradeWeb here for dealing and, occasionally, BTec or Espeed. Whatever charting I need to do I can do using a whole variety of tools, including home-grown ones.
 
hello,

I have a question regarding relationship between cash & future mkts.
1. Suppose i see that 2-5-10 yiels butterfly based on cash bonds is 5 basis Points above. but the 2-5-10 futures butterly is trading at the same level. what can i infer?

Regards,

AADIL
 
Well, even though I am not entirely clear about what you're saying, you can't really infer much...

The 2s5s10s fly in futures is not really 2s5s10s as the CTDs are not necessarily 2y, 5y and 10y bonds.
 
I have no clue where this is going today. It is all balanced around118 for ZN. I guess the side that breaks will be the one to go with. Over 118 6 or under 117 27.
 
If the ZN can build volume around 117 29 and hold the line. I would think long. If it builds volume around 118. It has to be a range day with a possibility of trading the edges to 18.

Still no clue. Tough day.
 
VAH to VAL (a few spikes above/below) round trip 6 times. Not saying I am a savant or anything as I only caught it 1 time and even then didn't have the balls to stay with it to the other border. So... basically I just said the same as the last post... range day.
