bonds easier than index?

quote from SethArb :

do you ever average down

in bond complex ?

maybe once ?
or not at all ?

do you risk 4 ticks / 8 ticks / 16 ticks
on a typical daytrade ?

ever trade overnight or find it better during daytime hrs ?
No, I don't average down.

Risk is typically 4 to 8 ticks on a daytrade. I also hold profitable daytrades overnight and sometimes for days.

Are you trading ZB, ZN or ZF? 4 ticks for ZB is very tight, isn't it?

Is holding a position overnight quite risky? They could suddently gap up or down.

I trade zb, and zn currently zbu3.

Holding overnight with the electronic contracts gives the ability to close a trade out at anytime without much gap.
 
mark cook spoke once at a trader forum about

his trading bonds risking more than he would make per trade

but the kicker is ... he claimed to be profitable way more times

than losses so he would be net profitable after a series

of trades

I have tried his methods but no luck :(
