Talk about a rush. I just got back from Superman Returns. It is now 1037 CST. I just checked my limit orders for the ZB's and ZN's. Sold 4 ZN's to close 104 160 0738 CST. Sold 2 ZB's to close 105 31 0910 CST. Up 857. I'll write a little more about why I did what I did, later when...

Bought 2 ZB down here at 105 22. Target 105 31 or better.

0348 CST Bought 4 ZN 104 135. Target 104 175 or 104 200.

I've traded bond futures off and on since 1994, but like anyone will tell you it takes a long time to even begin to be successful. A long time. A lot of study, and a lot of hard work are involved. As far as percent gained in the last few years, you are making a lot of assumptions, that may...

Friday 30 June 2006 Today we have the following: Personal Income and Outlays 0730 CST Consumer Sentiment 0845 CST NAPM-Chicago 0900 CST I think we are through with the narrow range and the random spikes for today. I would treat the 0730 report as I do any report, although...

FYI, trade of the day occurred between 0615 and 0630 today. At that time bonds were going down and were about to hit 105 12. From my posts as well as from others mention, you knew that 105 12 was a very important number for support. You could have bought at that point with a stop at 105 08...

0929 CST NN's both turned up. I'm not going to take the trade as I'm not confident about my signals today. I think it is a reflection of the wait and see approach prior to the FOMC meeting. 0934 CST Remember from the past 3 weeks, the ZB's can and will stay in a narrow 3-4 tick range for...

Yes.

I've had a lot of chop on my signals today. Signals aren't clear cut like they were yesterday. Yesterday was textbook in case you want to save one for future reference. It is 2 hours into the trading day, I've had another low end loss today, not enough to knock my profit from yesterday, so...

0921 CST Out at 105 23. Price coming back to entry. Out with 1 tick profit per contract. Could go lower, but NN's are just starting to turn up. Not enough to go long, but enough to make me not want to hold.

NN indicators are developed on my neural net application based on my studies. The regular indicators running on my Ensign software are simply studies available with Ensign. Bottom line, a neural net CCI indicator would be adapted to fit what the conditions of the market were/are. An...

Had a lengthy reply but had to stop given the current move to 105 21. Will get back to you later but may not be until tomorrow. Bottom line, if you are well paid in your employment, it will take a lot to quit to trade full time. I haven't reached that point yet.

Never let a winning trade become a loss. Adjust your stops. 105 21 is a good target but would like to see 105 19 or better.

NN Cycle indicator is still negative. I will close the position at a loss if it turns positive, and I'll probably call it a day. UPDATE 0850 CST Major divergence on CCI on 5 min bar chart. UPDATE 0852 CST Help Wanted Index coming up at 0900, but I really don't see it having any impact.

Hard to say, definitely was a buy at 105 13. But I'm not able to trade at the time the major support of 105 12 was hit.

Stop at 105 27. Well, it is definitely looking like chop today. My signals usually enable me to capture at least 3 - 4 ticks of a 6 tick move, but obviously not today.

0832 CST Out of everything 105 24 and 104 070. 0833 CST Sold 4 ZB 105 24. 0834 CST Cycle time coming up at 0840.

Expect a spike up soon. UPDATE 0824 CST Bought 4 ZN 104 075 Bought 2 ZB 105 25 Target is 105 28 or better.

0815 CST Long 2 ZB 105 24. This could be chop here this Thursday morning. NN's are firing buys. Target is 105 28 or better.

0809 CST out of ZB 105 23 and out of ZN 104 070. Hmmmmm .... so, I'm off by 5 minute, 0809 to be exact on calling for a new 30 minute market High/Low.
