    I'm going to have to say that I stand in awe of this market.

    By the way, if you went short at 112 21 and are still short, it isn't necessarily a bad trade. Just consider taking all profits anywhere between 112 19 and 112 15.

    At 0935 things were looking a little too strong. Got out of 1 ZB at 112 20 and stood aside. End of my short bias. May just sit out the rest of the day. I was only joking about re-testing the highs, but obviously it appears to be doing just that.

    Sold 1 ZB 112 17 at 0925 CST I will sell another at the pivot 112 21 if we get that high. Cycle time coming up now at 0930. Will look to get out if nothing happens in 10 minutes.

    I still haven't gone short. The low pivot today was 112 03. I'm going to put in a sell at 112 21 for two reasons. First it is one of my numbers, and second, it is the pivot point for today. Let's see what happens. Say, wouldn't it be 100% in keeping with market activity if we tested the...

    Curious to know if any intra day traders bought at 112 04 to 112 07? I personally would have loved to, BUT I've found, generally speaking, especially on a 1 full point move day, I trade better with the trend, i.e. only taking shorts today, hence looking to short between 112 10 to 112 15 or...

    There may be a short here between 112 10 and 112 15. I'm standing aside. 2 solid trades in a row and I become cautious. I may take a trade, but it had better meet all criteria. Don't give back what you made!

    Bond rally nearing an end?

    gharghur2 / mcurto: Any comments on price activity here in the 30 year (ZB) 0830 CST currently trading at 112 08. The solid low of 112 12 - 112 10 that has held for the last week has really been a sore spot for me.

    Two trades today, one when we broke through 112 23, after the report, short at 112 21 and out at 112 15. Second just now short at 112 15 roughly 10 minutes ago, and out at 112 07. I'm posting these after the fact because I've been a little slow on trading my 1/2 target objective over the...

    112 12 is the pivot in case you're wondering about the trouble here. Seems like every day this week you could have bought at 112 12 for a solid 4 - 6 tick move up. Wow, while posting we hit 112 06. I'm out at 112 07! Standing aside.

    If you took the short at 112 19, exit 1/2 at 112 15. Remember how they took us back up within minutes in previous days. Hold 1/2 for re-test of lows.

    Today is the day to make up for all the chop and small profits over the last 5 days. Carpe diem! By the way, let's have some comments today, let me know what you think about market direction.

    If you haven't gone short, you may get a second chance between 112 21 and 112 23. I'm counting on a re-test of lows. Amazing action today! Anyone have the "oomph" to sell at 113 10? Just curious. I did not. I couldn't take my bracket trade of buying at 113 01 and selling at 113 10...

    Pre-market continued: Just in case you've forgotten, here are my price projection numbers published days ago: 113 10 113 01 112 21 112 07 For the outliers, I must go with two numbers for the extreme high and two numbers for the extreme low as the rate of occurence in my calculations...

    Pre-market commentary 03 February 2006 Interesting comment from Briefing.com from a trader they interviewed: "... Some say "the long-end has completely disassociated itself from reality," by not moving lower & "just ignoring the Fed," notes one long-time dealer. Although he acknowledges...

    Out with 1 tick X 2 profit. Price was coming back to my entry. Had to get out. Head fakes again. I think I'll call it a day.

    Ah, perhaps I'm being a little harsh on myself. Technically last week you made excellent money on everything I posted. This week, has been frustrating, as I want to bust out of this range. By the way, my published target is 112 07 for 1/2 off. A pivot number for today is 112 01. That...
