Bonds and Notes
Posted: Feb 05 2007
Greetings,
A long time ago I remember postings about not being able to correctly display the 30 Year US Bonds and 10 Year US Notes in their correct 1/32 and one half of 1/3 formats,and the MC folks said this would soon be fixed.
Over the weekend I upgraded to the latest beta from the older so-called stable version from last spring.
I am unable to get these contracts to display correctly.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
Below are the official descriptions from the CBOT for reference.

Par shall be on the basis of 100 points. Contracts shall not be made on any other price basis.
