Cash vs Futures

[coolwind]

Hello All,

I am a newbie trader just starting out trying to learn cash vs futures in the treasury curve. I was hoping someone out there had any info on how to learn how to measure which market is leading cash or futures? Sometimes it is very difficult to determine.

An help would be appreciated.

Depends on what? I'm just seeking just a little info. Not much

Nothing consistently leads by enough time nor price to attempt to exploit.

Exactly. The "leadership" changes depending on conditions.

The basis is the "measure".
