Your 0925 CST is close enough to my 1033 EST, and it now looks like we might set up for some action around that time.

Keep in mind that I can't say if I'll buy or sell because it all depends on price action at that time. A guess would be that I would be buying a dip though.
 
Here is my chart for the day so far.

The trade of the day was my first short, after the 0830 EST report. This trade is one of my bread and butter trades.

The trades are a bit jumbled together around 0840. The reason for that is I was holding a single short from the 0837 trade. When I got out of three, I left my booktrader on 3 lots and ended up buying 3 lots when I exited the single short. I ended up making a few wrong trades before going flat. Very irritating but fortunately no more than a tick loss.

The other irritating trade occured between 0929 and 0949. Fortunately it was a profit, but I gave up 2 ticks net on a single lot.

So there is no confusion, the first trade group was from 0834 - 0850 on the chart.

The second trade goup is from 0905 - 0910 on the chart.

The third and final trade group is from 0929 to 0949.
