Exactly 2 weeks Sept bonds were at 116 ... and now that same futures contract sit at 108. What in the world can justify that? Now I'm no economist, but should I buy in to the suggestion that this nation's economic outlook has gotten that great. Where is the economic boom ... I don't see it...

After compiling many trades, I checked for the longest losing streaks and how much money was lost during that losing streak. Then I take that amount of money and add it to my miniumum trading amount . For example, if in a 25 trade losing streak and I lose $25,000 ($1000 per trade); I'll...

I'd feel comfortable enough to start trading with real money after 200 paper trades.

Interesting ... I'll follow this thread for a bit. :cool:

In recent weeks it seem as though every two day rally becomes a selling opportunity. I don't expect sept bonds to start an extended rally just yet.

Sept Bonds are still trading in a range of approx 111 to 113 for the last 3 days. Given that the bonds are very oversold, the likelihood is that we may see trading above 113 next week. Short sellers should be looking at ways to hedge or cover short positions if bond prices should run up to...

I second that motion ... bought back one of two bond positions to lock in profits and lowering stop on the only short position.

Even after much discussion about when to take profits; I, myself am still not sure of how to maximize the realized profits on the current short Sept bond position. After getting short Sept Bonds at 115'16 on Monday (on what was anticipated as a daytrade) and watching this baby drop off the...

Have you considered taking a break from trading (Stop trading or even watching the markets) for a couple of weeks; until you can get your "trading technique" back.

Sept Bond overnight lows at 111'03 have triggered some buying but the wind has been taken out of the bond bulls. I don't see any rallies continuing higher than 115 area.

Are there any Reuters users out there ?

I caught two big chunks of the move but not the whole move. Also incurred some losses there in the middle. The problem came to be when I was sitting on a huge winfall profit (I was short from 121 to 116) ... how to protect the profit. The challenge is to not give back the money made from...

Finally, after 5 trading days of being range-bound sept bonds broke thru. Bonds oscillated between 115 and 116 for 5 trading days, but when the 115 support level was broken on Monday on good volume then it became obvious to be short bonds. After several aborted trades, I am again short on...

Cut your losses, let your profits run ... not the other way around.

Tug of war continues for the fourth day. Sept bonds are trading between 115'03 and 115'30 for the fourth day now and something has got to give. Expecting a push beyond this 4 day trading range during Friday's trading.
