| | Ronin - do you have any info or resources - or even links to trading bond futures? There is very little emphasis on this on sites about trading.
I do have the Bond Basis book, which is technically excellent, but I wouldn't mind a bit of more human experiences described when trading the bond futures. | Re: Bond Futures, Not Sexy but Worth a Look!

| | This is too funny - who's the intelligent trader that rated this thread 1 star? What possibly is so horrible in this thread that you rated it 1 star? 
This site cracks me up sometimes. Next time I'll keep my mouth shut.

| | Random request... i was wondering if anyone could post up a 1min chart of either of the symbols from the past day or so...
I don't have them included in my data package yet and I don't want to pay for them if they aren't gonna vibe with how I trade... If its similar to the es its all good but I just wanted to confirm before I shell out money. | Re: Bond Futures, Not Sexy but Worth a Look!

By smoother I mean the moves are measured and where I place my stops can often hold; unlike some days on the ES.
Point is that while I personally think it's worth a look, if you are looking for rapid movements like the ES can provide, you may be disappointed. If you are looking for quick moves, watch the bonds during big econ announcements and you'll see when they typically move.

(note - you could also get a 2 week free trial to OEC's software if you want to pull up the charts w/o paying for the data fees initially)
