Re: Bond Futures, Not Sexy but Worth a Look!

Good comments but I have found that for me and my trading, stop placements are HIGHLY respected on the bonds - much more so than the ES. It obviously depends on your trading style, but for me, bonds are very,very technically sound and much easier to trade than the ES IMO (currently).

Have been trading the 30yr Bond Futures ( ZB ) for 14 years now. Agree with Brown but there is more to it. Don't think anyone would be interested because of the " Boring " perception among traders worldwide.

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.

Re: Bond Futures, Not Sexy but Worth a Look!

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.
