Good Lord! I've been posting to the wrong forum. Goodness I'm an idiot.....I didn't even look. I read this forum for the long term and post my stuff in my journal. My sincerest apologies....moderator please delete my messages after allowing me a minute to copy and paste to my journal...

Consider closing half here at 106 00.

Important time at 0805. Short ZN at 104 130 Short ZB at 106 04 or 106 03

Pre-market: One report today. It is a Friday report. It is Durable Goods. It comes out at 0730. Everyone reading this journal should know how to trade today. Things to keep in mind: It is Friday. Some traders will be looking to close or cut back on some positions prior to the...

luckyhonda, I think most of the people on this thread are more long term oriented than I am. I can go long or short at any time within the 1 - 3 hours that I trade the bonds. Since I started my winning streak of 9 of 9 profitable days in a row roughly 2 weeks ago, almost all of my money has...

Surdo, I show 105 12 is a key number. I'm done for the day with 2 successful trades in a row.

How to trade today: First, you knew that an important 0730 report was due. You also knew that 106 15 is an important number. At 0300 to 0500 we hit 106 14 several times. You could have shorted at 106 13 or 106 12 for a quick 2 - 3 ticks by 0615. Wait for 0730. Wait .... wait .... at...

This is an interesting observation. On multiple occasions these past 9 days, I've asked myself a question. "Where do you see this trade going?" It isn't as simple as asking the question. It involves a couple of steps, that I won't get into here. Bottom line, many times, after determining...

Bought 2nd pair back 104 135 ... didn't want to wait... this has been a long day for me, i.e. 0720 => 0920 is close to overtrading. It was worth it though....I was concerned there for a bit as I'm on a streak. I was willing to risk 250.00 USD of my profit though as my analysis indicated a...

Bought 4 ZB 106 01....tried to get 106 00...but let's not be greedy! Bought 2 ZN 104 130 .... looking to buy 2nd pair back 104 130 as well.....

Dangerous trade: Short 4 ZB's at 106 04... Get out quickly!

Short 4 ZN's at 104 150....

Wow, what was that dump at 0855 CST?! Prices spiked down to 106 04....

0900 CST Leading Indicators report coming out. Probably won't do anything but it is worth waiting a few more minutes before I decide to call it a day.

Closed out ZB at 106 05. Believe it or not, I closed out the ZN's at 104 165. Had a sell in at 104 145, 104 155, and 104 160 and didn't get hit at each of them....... Went from being up over 800 on this second run to being up just 500. Very frustrating. I may call it a day. Today is...

Bought 1 ZB back at 106 05....

First 4 print (106 04) at 0822 CST.

My entries were excellent, but 30 minutes of a 2 - 3 tick range is frustrating....

Price combat at 106 05 is in our favor so far.....

Need to see a 4 and a 3 print soon on ZB or I'll need to exit everything at 106 05.
