From my research I believe that generally they are negatively correlated. There can also be times when they both go up or down. I.e. too much investment cash in the system, or fear in which neither equities or bonds are trusted. I believe when John says transitional periods in the economy, this...

Hi Rhody, Cool, I'll keep an eye on the ZN as suggested! Thanks for answering my threads ;) Cheers, SB

Hi All, I just wondered if someone who follows bonds could suggest which chart to follow for the US markets? I am after one that would be ideal for a trader to follow to keep an eye on the overall US bond market. I see that the top two seem to be used often? ZB (30 year treasury bond futures)...

Hi All, I wonder if there is anyone on this forum who may be able to shed some light on the above? I have read that these move in the opposite direction. The reason being that they compete with each other for investment capital. As the economy is expanding and stocks are doing well, people...

Hi JackRab, Thanks again for your reply. Sorry, I maybe should have been clearer on my initial post. I was trying to save time by avoiding redundant information :p I do understand about witching days/hour and how they cause more volatility and pinning the strike and so on. My concern was that...

Oh I'm sorry :p

Fair enough.. now I know. Is it worth me asking about the meet you guys are referring too? Or is it more a private one?

Hi Guys, I thought I would post in here again, in the hope that new traders from my area may have joined recently. If you are from the north west and reading this, feel free to contact me! Cheers

Hi Guys, I hope everyone is well. I am having a little difficulty in understanding something about order routing.. due to the fact that the author of the book I’m reading contradicts himself on a few occasions. If I send a marketable order (either a market or limit order) direct to the market...

I'd be interested in meeting up with fellow traders. Did anything come of this?
