Do you follow multiple?
I was trading ZB since I started out, but now I'm following ZN, too. I find I make better trading decisions because of it. I also appreciate the slowness of ZN compared to ZB. I initially followed the 5 major American bonds, but following all 5 got me too confused & looking too many ways. UB would especially mess me up. Really enjoying the 10/30 combo. How bout the rest of you?
Since we are in a rising interest environment, at least for now, you should be aware that any change in rates would create higher volatility on longer term yields. Namely, something like ZB would move (theoretically) more than ZN, etc.
I prefer ZN. It does have, in my opinion, the balance of liquidity and volatility.
Thank you,

I have ZN, ZB, ZF DOM's up at one time and that's what I follow. However, I just trade ZN. ZB's liquidity dropped lately so I don't trade that. I don't like ZF's $/tick either
I trade the aussie bank bills (aka the short end of the curve) and the aussie 3yr and 10yr. In addition to this i also trade the eurodollars and the tnote.
I prefer trading the ZN(10yr). My reason for this is that I find it fairly predictable from a directional point of view. And when I get it wrong, I can usually get out without a major drawdown. It's kind of like putting together a slow moving puzzle. When the final pieces of the puzzle are coming together I find I can clearly define my risk vs potential reward.
Which bonds are people trading during the London open? Is the bund the best option, or is there enough interest in the US treasuries at that time and it's a better option?
