shorted 30-t bond at 121'300, some questions

how the price quoted? I feel bearish about T-30, that is short. but new to30yeras treasure bond, the first trade. any vetern on that, give an explainatin?
 
What is your question?

Each tick is 1/32 worth $31.25/contract.

If it goes down you make money, if it goes up ...you know the drill!
 
could you give some links about the quote?

I do not know how to enter the price, but I feel it will fall fall, so short it at the market quote.

try to make a buy cover order, could not figure out how the price quoted, reject several times. anyway, I covered it at 120'270.

thanks your explaination, if possible, give me a link to the quote

my question is how to enter a price in IB?

so far what I can do is see the ask/bid, then put a market order to enter a trade or close a trade.

1/32 is hard to enter?

normally I trade crude, but feels crude is a range-band day today , so I switch to new product bond, but new to bond trading. after I examed the yesterday's chart, I sensed it will break down further. just a try, one contract.

just do not get it how to enter a price valid to 1/32

?? what are the questions
 
before I live trade, I do did not know how to enter the order, I just read the market, not the quote, sense the immidiate fall.
try to make a limit buy order, the order is rejected several times, that is why I ask you guys.

after observation, and serach the website,kind of get of some idea how to do the price entering thing. I do not have paper account, I alreday closed it for good.

thanks anyway
