December Treasury Bonds by JESSE H. THOMPSON/Technical Analysis staff writer

December Treasury Bonds by JESSE H. THOMPSON/Technical Analysis staff writer Interest rate futures are always interesting to chart as well as to trade. Aside from the speculative aspects of interest rate futures, it is also valuable to know how much a lender is going to charge to let loose of his cash for awhile. For trading purposes the December and June Treasury Bond contracts are good vehicles to employ. I also find a quarterly Dow Jones 20 bond chart dating back to 1966 and a monthly chart of the long term Treasuries (15 years or more) are helpful. The following trades or positions were taken with a primary emphasis on staying in harmony with price and trend activity. The only tools used were: a monthly swing chart*, a weekly and daily bar chart, a daily swing chart, divisional factors of time, divisional factors of a price range and a basic understanding of price formation and trend activity.
