    I went ahead and used my same stop from yesterday, 105 25. Got stopped out just prior to the report. All positions are closed. Waiting for now.

    Sure, but the meeting this week is holding us back either way.

    Tuesday 27 June 2006 Today we have Redbook at 0755 CST, Consumer Confidence at 0900 CST, and Existing Home Sales at 0900 CST. Price projection numbers remain the same as yesterday's: 106 15 106 03 105 24 105 12 105 03 No bias at the moment. I believe we'll have a range trade...

    Absolutely not. I think I may have used a market order once in the last year of trading. I always want to get my price.

    Still short and holding overnight. I think 105 12 is a possibility, although I'll exit at 105 16 or better if price activity doesn't indicate a move lower. My target on my short is 105 12 followed by 105 09. I anticpate tomorrow will be a repeat of today's activity, with a drift lower, but...

    Bond rally nearing an end?

    mcurto, What is your impression of the 105 12 area in the SEP ZB? Think we'll see it before the end of the week? John

    Gee whiz, does 0959 count for the new low prediction? Just hit 105 17!!!! Decision time is approaching. Will the move have the strength to go lower? Watch carefully. 105 12 is the initial target.

    OK, wrong on the new low prediction. Interesting how the 0956 timestamps were brought down to 105 19. I watched until 0957 hit, and we went up to 105 20 instead of lower. I'm still holding the shorts.

    OK it is 0936 CST. I say we will have a new low within the next 20 minutes, i.e. lower than 105 18.

    0928 CST We need to see a decisive break below 105 18. So far no go. Just a kiss at 105 18. By the way, looking for 105 12 as a target in the ZB's.

    Did you see the spike up on the 0920 bar? They're playing the stops. Personally, I'm looking to get out soon. It is more of a game today, and off the floor you must remember one thing. On a game day, you are the mouse! Sorry, just a little humour.

    Sold ZB 105 19 Sold ZN 104 035 Got in late. Not necessarilly a good trade entry, however, I believe this one should go lower. Now, here's the deal. I have a stop set at 105 25. A little high, but if you look at the chart you'll see why. If we are back up there again in short order, then...

    luckyhonda, NN was positive. 60 min bar chart was positive. I thought there would be some follow through to the upside, but there wasn't. Now maybe we'll see something at 0900.

    Isn't this interesting. Report due out at 0900 and the next important cycle time is 0900. If we spike up, look for 105 28 followed by 106 03.

    Bond Trader 2006

    We are one hour into the trading day. Prices are essentially even with the opening. Taking a guess, I will say that today will be a narrow range day, at least through the first 3 hours of trading. The exception will be if the 0900 report has an effect. Days like today you need to limit...

    0813 CST Bought 2 ZB's at 105 24. If this trade fails, I will consider waiting until the 0900 report. Stop set at 105 20. It is tight for a reason. Very little volume or activity today. Today is not the day to risk a lot of money.

    About to get stopped out at 104 065. Consider closing positions as we've went beyond the recent highs in the last 45 minutes. By the way, notice the time of the spike?
