ckor30, yeah. really really ODD! I wanted to short some ZN. But I didn't because of memories from last Friday's strong rally and that I barely got out alive. It was too strong. What I should have done was follow my own TA and went long for the ride. Intraday was like more than 17 full...

peter: I understand that. Point taken. It was just that Friday's trade was too "scared" and the chart showed there could be a reversal which I waited for on Monday and luckily closed out with a small profit instead of a huge loss. Normally, I wouldn't try to do this! Anyhow, you know how...

A Little Better... ================= I shorted some at 111'17. It went against me only a tadbit 111'18. Covered after the close at 111'14. 3 full ticks. Not much but at least it was the right R/R ratio. Risking 1 full tick to gain 3 full tick. Much better than the crazy 8-9 full tick risk to...

Boy am I glad I got out of that position. It's up to 111'135! I would have been hurt real bad. Though I did make some money shorting today! But it was for a few quick scalp! Not a holding intrady swing type of trade that would have gotten bulldozed. what did you do?

illiquid: Thanks! It was scary! But still 15mins til the close at CBOT. Hopefully some more downside action... Finally got out at 110'305. 4mins to go. Waited as long as I could. Didn't want it to close on me then couldn't exit. One more minute and I would have gotten 110'30. It's OK...

Ebo, No, don't worry for trying to break my balls. You're right. But I was actually "tied up" with something else during the first time it got down to 111. But I wasn't as nervous after the 2nd or 3rd time it tried to rally to as high as '095s and failed. I figure I was safe. Because all...

Was scary. Finally came back down to 111'025. Which is not too far from my entry 111'01. It went as high as 111'095! But if it doesn't continue to go down I'll have to bail. Don't want a saved by the bell regain of losses to become a bigger loss later on.. misc

m_c_a98: Yep. Good point. Lots of trend traders or "turtle" trader whose trend following program would buy "new high" on Friday. But I was betting there would be no follow through(at least the next day) then they would be forced to sell and push prices back. But if there was follow-through...

It was NOT on hunch. There was a very specific pattern I was looking for on Friday. And it seemed like it was developing. Then they rallied a little more about 6 ticks higher than where I've gotten in. So, I figure, if I believe in this pattern then I should wait to see if it enfold correctly...
