Why The note over the 30?? The 30 has great volatility and always is moving based on reports..curious on your rationale )

Also, I am specializing in just bonds because I think I can Day trade them since there is usually a huge spread between high and low during the day..just wondering if you have any experience with it. Thanks!

The note is more liquid.

I go by pair , on Tens treasuries:

ES (or Big ) against Note

AX (DAX) Against BUND

I agree with you that US is a very good contract and is definitively more volatile than note or muni.

Eventually is definitively more rewarding if you trade it "per se".
If you trade Treasury as a sort of "hedging" for the theoretical inverse correlation as I do, so I prefer Note and Bund just for the reason you mentioned.

If this approach make you feel confortable and profitable I think you should pursue it.

I have frieds who takes large positions - 20 or 40 contracts on BUND , carry them ON and are really profitable and satisfied.

IMHO treasuries are NOT so Harmonic as other instruments ( i.e S&P) .
