    Looking at the chart again, I want to make a very brief point. There is no way, once again, there is no way I would have considered a short at any time after my last posted time. No way. I would only take longs at that point. Price behaviour says it all.

    After action report for 07 Aug 2008 I'm going to keep these brief as the chart says it all. Chart is annotated. Summary: Conservatively on a 1 lot I made 16 ticks today. (I actually did a lot more, but I'm trying to illustrate what is possible for the small trader.) Times were...

    0610 CST I'm just making a best guess now, but my take on price action now is that we see a high between 0630 and my first posted number. We should then travel down into 0825 and the second posted number. Just an intuitive hunch.

    Thanks! I hadn't checked my Barron's yet. Normally I only care about the 0730's, the 0900's and the 1000's as I'm usually sound asleep by 1200 CST, but since I listed a time close to the auction, I should have checked. Funny how a time that I calculate which has no connection to the US...

    Post action report for Wed 06 Aug 2008 The chart speaks for itself. I've done this two days in a row now, not to mention all of the other times I've done this, i.e. posting times in advance. My results were better because I took additional trades, BUT, on a 1 lot, just taking the trades...

    James, I caught your two posts. Thank you for your observations. To all, BTW, I'm not saying not to go short. I think this day could have another full point down to go. My long term target on the ZB is 109 or so. However, price has been up and down so much over the last few weeks...

    0918 CST OK out at 114 150. I have visions of "V" days in my mind and I want to end on a high note. Time to go to bed. Good trading!

    0915 CST Short a 2 lot 114 175. Small size due to late in day and due to the fact this could be a "V" day setup. I'll exit quickly and call it a day if no follow through.

    0902 CST Here's the deal. Today is what I call an outlier day both profit wise as well as price wise. You should have more than gained back any losses you made this week. Any day you have setups on a 1 - 5 minute chart that involve simply selling a break below the bottom of a rectangle...

    0856 CST Anyone know what happend during the 1 min time frame right around 0850? I'm having some PC problems and I thought I saw the ZB drop several ticks in a matter of seconds. I don't trust my prints at the moment. All I know is I went short at 114 185 prior to the event and got out at...

    JP's Observations Never say "I'm playing with the house's money." If you entered a trade you are working for the money. If you exit with a profit you have been paid for your work. You are an administrator of a plan and you are working hard for your money. Never forget that. How would...

    0843 CST Out of everything between 114 210 and 114 220. Will look to go short again soon. Watch this upcoming time closely. BTW, the hourly has been short since late yesterday afternoon.

    Bond Trader 2008 (Swing Trading Bond futures, Stocks, and ETF's)

    0833 CST I think it is safe to say that today is a waterfall down day. I've been simply shorting at key levels. Fortunately I've already bagged my daily limit when I started posting here, otherwise I would be pretty ticked at missing that ideal entry on the trade I posted about. In any...

    Decisive break below 114 305 is key, which we just did. Targets are 114 160 and 114 145. I can't post anymore I've already missed and ideal entry on the above.

    0819 CST OK. I know you won't believe me but here is the first time for the AM in the ZB: 0641 Yeah, I know, it's OK. I wouldn't believe me either if I were you. So, let's continue on. Here are the remaining times for today: 0917 1149 I won't be trading after that. I'll...

    After action report part II for 05 Aug 2008 As promised, here is the chart. The chart is in EST by the way, and the times I posted are CST. The chart speaks for itself. Get ready for another day. I'll post the same observations if time permits. By the way, plotted on the 1 min it...
