This is my first post. I'm interested in learning how to trade treasuries and treasury futures (paper trading) as an intro to trading in general. I have zen-fire set up over ninjatrader as a platform for that. I can view prices and bid/ask for treasury futures, but I don't know how to get current information about spot prices. Is there any way to view such information through ninjatrader?
Thank you

ZN - 10 year note is a popular one and has a lot of volume. To me it moves a bit unusual and of course most times inverse to equity markets. Good luck trading.
Bluemele, thank you for the response. It was my understanding that ZN is the 10 year futures instrument. Is there a way to look at the underlying deliverable treasury bonds through ninjatrader?
Yes, sorry about that as I guess I wasn't paying attention. Honestly, I do not know, but I don't see why not and depends upon broker and data feed (i.e. what they carry).
Sorry, don't do it, but thought I would just try to help.
Bluemele: thanks, that makes sense. Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about the various brokers and their offerings. I suppose I could switch over to thinkorswim for a while to get the hang on things, but I feel like that may be detrimental in the long run, as I've read that thinkorswim does not have competitive fees.
