    I'm having some trouble with my dtniqfeed quotes. They've been misprinting all last week, causing me to have to hand edit 10's of misprints, last week, and I suspect the same this week. Anyone else having problems? Thank God for IB as a backup!

    Neural net stoch/rsi just kicked off a buy signal at anywhere between 112 22 => 112 24. I'm not taking it, but there is the signal.

    We are right at the daily Pivot Point. Just an observation. No opinion.

    Price activity from way back on 26 Jan 2006 that is still pertinent today: 113 01 - a line in the sand for an upside move 112 22 - important bounce number 112 15 - low 112 11 low Don't forget that really strange 2 hour trading range mentioned in my 26 Jan 2006 recap. Price projection...

    Pre-market commentary 01 February 2006 For the fourth time in a row, I will have done no mathematical calculations for my price projection numbers. For my observations on this see yesterday's pre-market commentary. Before we get started, did you catch the 0300 CST short today at 113 01...

    Consumer Confidence and NAPM-Chicago both due out at 0900 CST. With the FOMC at 1315 CST, the bond market may very well have another range trade day until then. I have a ton of other things to do so I won't be following the market as heavily today. The market looks like it really can't...

    31 January 2006 Yesterday, Monday 30 January 2006, was a classic range trade day. The best trades of the day were early. A short based purely on the important price projection number of 112 21 should have been taken between 112 19 to 112 22 in the few minutes after the report. A long...

    Sorry for the late post on the cycle high. I actually had it up over 30 minutes ago. Posting here kept me from paying attention. ;-)

    Something may happen at 0850 CST. Looks like a cycle high.

    I'm not sure what your goals are, however, if you took the first short at 112 21, you should have a profit of 6 - 10 ticks on 1 contract. That is 180 - 312 profit on one contract. If you took the long at 112 15, you have another 120 profit. Consider calling it a day. Also, I've called...

    I haven't taken a short and I suggest you stand aside for now. Looks like bonds want to test the upper range.

    A second short might be coming up here between 112 21 and 112 19. I would consider only taking half your normal lots. This is our second attempt at 112 21 and I'm always cautious on 2nd attempts. Use your own entry signal. High side might go up to 112 25 112 26 against you. I wouldn't...

    Sold the above mentioned 2nd ZB at 112 19. Yeah, I could have held longer, but one of the things that I'm discovering is that I have an uncanny ability to call a 4 - 6 tick move....I mean uncanny. So far I haven't perfected the ability to make a wish for a 16 tick move come true, so I must...

    Just set the other ZB to sell at 112 19. I don't like the action.

    Exit 1 ZB at 112 19

    0800 - 0805 was a cycle low, so I'm feeling confident in this quick long trade.

    Long 2 ZB's 112 15. Proft target 112 18 - 112 21 at 0811 CST.

    Remember, per my 26 Jan 2006 recap on the hypothetical loss of 2 hours of your life....don't hold on too long. I said to consider taking all / most of your profit between 112 12 and 112 07.

    We might hit 112 07. Consider exiting the bulk of your position anywhere between 112 12 and 112 07. Start looking at my outlier lows for indication of where we might go, on the low low end.

    Great trade. Remember, be cautious on the 2nd and especially third attempt to 112 21. I think I'd stop after 2 winnning shorts in a row.
