Mozek, they are all the same. As with stock trades you must place limit orders otherwise they fill you at their advantage.

The bond market is less open / visible than the stock market and it is more like an old boys club with the big players controlling the spreads.

I do not think that any other firm is better. From what I know at least E*trade has a bond section and you can get real time quotes (I think) filling your orders that's another story. <GG>

Strips are more volatile % point than bonds (see my table linked to the Chicken Page - Trading Ideas)
