Trades can be executed in a single order. This feature offers the opportunity to trade the yield curve more efficiently and without legging risk.

The spread is traded at a +/- yield differential with inverted prices. The bid is higher than the offer. The outright legs will trade in prices requiring price-to-yield and yield-to-price conversions.
