[RT] I'm puzzled - sanity check

Hi,

I'm playing with a swing trading idea for bond futures and noticed 
something odd while backtesting.  The U00, Z00 and H01 contracts 
produce uniformly lousy results in T-bonds, Long Gilt and Bund.  
Contracts before and after produce decent results.  This appears to 
be because the system thrives on volatility and because volatility 
was comparatively low during the three quarters concerned.

I cannot find any other period over the last ten years or so in which 
this happens but still suspect there was a fundamental reason for it.

Anyone care to guess what went on or why ?

Regards,
