Bond rally nearing an end?

That's exactly what IB told, but that is the last trading day, not the expiration day. I checked too on ECBOT and didn't notice any expiration date, but only the last trading day.

Yes i agree it would be the trade of the century but i didn't buy at 1/64 in the money. I bought the options when ZB futures were trading at around 110 26/32.

Well you probably be right.

Thanks for the help.
 
Ah ok, i saw now, it says : Unexercised 30 Year US Treasury Bond futures options shall expire at 7:00 p.m. Chicago Time on the last day of trading

I didn't see that, you are right.

Thanks for all again.

Bye.
 
O.K. Wall Street has its "preemptive rate cut" - to keep it in FED language. So what´s next ? Funny part of the story : yesterdays GDP figures. Imagine you´re reading newspapers in the U.S. ! Economy growing over 3.5 % and FED´s lowering rates in order to "stimulate" it ! Ha, ha, ha...:p :p :p

Recalling good old days when treasury traders would have punished this kind of FED policy by massive decline in prices and not only a lousy couple of ticks...:mad:
 
It looks like the NFP release had a little leak!
Someone thinks they will be better than expected.
Maybe Beeks is involved?

good trading!

Did you place the sell order before the actual data release?
 
Quote from scriabinop23:

Anyone understanding why the bond market is acting so bullish in the face of those #s?

Lots of support.

Revisions mainly. The market needs confirmation on a large miss.

There have been too many large revisions in the past year to really trust the #.

Too much fear out there also.
 
We spiked to 114 12' and down a dollar, to be honest I sold 114 and just covered, so I am not really reading into it, but will later.
Someone had the number at 8:20, why did it sell off 8 ticks prematurely and then spike up 20......I think Beeks had the wrong envelope.
