I won't be taking this trade if we do hit that level, so I agree that it's insane to try to catch such a falling knife. Too risky for my taste....
That's true. I'm just saying that, if we do get down to 1320 or so, I will watch the price action around that level, to see if we form a base or...
This is still ROUGH (dealing with multi-year log charts..), but support is around 1315-1325.. Figure there will be some fudge +/-. I'll be...
Yes, this is nutty but pull up a log chart. Connect the bottoms. I'd suspect the lows it's carving out on the futures chart around 1350 - 1355...
Oh man... sorry. I'm not a dickwad that is going to rub it in your face, especially if you really are holding short naked 1300 puts. Man..
1) Perhaps in some sense, but in actuality I still don't understand it all, not by a large margin. 2) I just learned about the coupon rate...
Might I ask where was gold trading when you shorted the 1300 May puts?

Auto liquidation makes it that much easier these days to just bucket, grab the account in full, then bounce the market. No need to wait for the...
:) I still need to read through all of the provided material from the other posters to learn exactly why the 2Yr Note is basically flat relative...
No one will tell you the truth because the retail trading business has declined, and bottom feeder fish are still desperately needed. $500 margin...
I'm watching this video now, first. Wow, this is a very nice introduction to how the futures are priced.
Thanks, everyone, for your detailed and thoughtful answers. I have aligned and inverted the 2-yr yield curve to match the bond futures:...
Can someone explain, in layman's terms, what is the relationship between T-Bonds and yield curves? (Please see 1st and 2nd images below). I...
You know what, you are absolutely correct. Everything you said, in this post and your previous ones, are completely true. I take back...
$50 stop will not work because of spread/commish/slippage/execution issues. The smaller the time frame, the more unpredictable things become,...
The only truth in this post is that if you are going to overleverage, the large account will in fact be a worse idea. If you do not have self...
If you are making a few trades a month, and looking for swing trades, and don't mind getting killed on the commish and spread, then maybe the...
