    0746 CST Sold 1 ZB 105 20. Trying to sell 4 ZN 104 055. Will try to sell additional ZB's between 105 20 and 105 23. 0748 CST Sold 1 ZB 105 20 and Sold 4 ZN 104 055. This trade doesn't quite feel right. NN cycle indicator still pointing up. It is my missing link in a perfect sell...

    An important cycle time is coming up at 0750 CST. I'm waiting for my NN cycle indicator to turn negative. The NN RVI is already negative.

    0732 CST News seems to be having no effect. If I were to guess, I'd say prepare to short. No commitment yet. 0737 CST Is the lack of movement indicative of a small 3 - 4 tick range day?

    Remember my observation pages ago about the ability to place an initial order for what the real target will be, but adjusting upwards? Re-reading my previous post I see I'm coming across as some sort of Zen / Kung Fu trading master. It really isn't the message I'm trying to convey there...

    Bonds were the first futures contract I traded back in 1994. I've always traded the 30 year, off and on over the years. I can honestly say that over the past year, I've had that Matrix moment where Neo sees the binary code making up his world. When you start to see that, the hair on the...

    Out at 105 23. Good time to call it a day. Met my daily profit target and I have two excellent calls in a row. To be successful at daytrading you must learn to find your sweet spot and stick with it.

    Based on the last NN cycle, this run to a low is probably good at least another hour and 40 minutes, i.e. the last NN cycle top before 0900 was 0700. Petroleum Status out in 8 minutes, but it should have no effect.

    0853 CST out at 105 27. Didn't like price behaviour, and 0900 can be a spike up or spike down. I think I'm done for the day. By the way, never forget to cancel your stops!

    Will look to get out of this trade by 0900. I'm looking for roughly 3 ticks, i.e. 105 28 or better. Remember, 105 28 was an important support number coming down off of the 106 00 high yesterday. Breaking it will be good for the upside. Still, don't count on too much of a move. The meeting...

    So, is it possibly to initiate and manage a trade while called away from your workstation to check on your sleeping 1 year old and having them throw up all over you and you then have to quickly rinse them down, clean them up and put clothes back on them? Yes, a resounding yes. All by myself as...

    Thinking about going long. NN's are started to taper to upside. No reports coming out until 0930 and it is a minor report. Everyone is waiting for meeting. UPDATE: 0756 CST Heavy sell volume ... hold.
