Maybe, but I doubt most of the buyers in the November range (and for that matter, any holding positions initiated in Q1 and Q2 of 2013) have felt pain yet. Let it get below 90, and I'll bet you see...

From my fx days, IIRC, a standard lot is 100K units, which is $10 per euro pip (0.0001). A mini lot is 10K, at $1 per pip, a micro is 1K, at $0.10 per pip, so if indeed you are trading a 100 lot, it...

Are you using the 8:20 ET pit open as "open" here? And measuring yesterday's VA using the 8:20 - 15:00 pit hours only?

1) This does not seem like a very good auction. Maybe average at best. So, why such a positive response from the bond market after the auction?

There will always be volatility; markets are cyclical, and for months you may see low volatility, and then it will come back, then get quiet again, etc. The important thing is to adjust accordingly.
