Hi Hugh.

Welcome to the 'tourist! Thanks for your support.

You can definitely trade all the instruments I mentioned in your Interactive Brokers account. That is where I currently have mine.

I have made a screenshot of the two instruments I mentioned:

The instrument number for the bonds is 912828Z37

You can see that there is a standard bid/offer.

The future I use is the Ultra-10-year. The root in IB is TN, and I use the March future.

Try putting those in and let me know if you have any problems or more questions.

Thanks for writing in!

Kev
