0818 CST 107 180 target on 10 year hit.

Looking for at least 110 18 on the 30 year.

0821 CST 110 18 made easily. Lowering target to 110 11 to 110 15.

This short is not a scalp trade like the first trade. There are solid reason to go short where I did, and actually to have shorted the kiss of the high.

This week has had NO volatility in ZB, I have been involved in Fx.

I took 1 off at 110 19 earlier, and I'm holding the other for possible further downside. I will probably walk away for awhile. This trade may last a few hours.

I'm not sure I understand your question.

I trade via IB, not that it matters. You can trade anywhere.

sorry for the confusion...I was more interested in whom you cleared through, what location you were trading in (remotely I imagine), and whether or not you had access to treasury cash as well as futures
Thanks in advance

OK, got it. I'm just a normal retail customer with IB. I trade remotely. I only trade futures. I look for 4 - 6 ticks. I trade only a few hours each day. I trade from 1 ZB up to 10. I've never traded more than a 20 lot in the ZB, but that was a crazy day.
