Anybody else short US 30 Bond

Are the futures the only way to short the treasury market? I entered an order in through my broker to sell a specific T-bond and was denied.

Any help?
 
You could trade TLT, but futures are a better gig.
What were you trying to sell, and who is your broker, sounds like you are using the wrong symbol/security.

March is the front month currently.

You can't sell a Treasury bond unless you own it. At least, you can't as a retail trader. Large institutions can...it's called the repo market. Google it, even though it's often overlooked it's extremely important in finance.
