Quote from johnpinochet:
There is a reason for this. I just completed day 7 of 7 profitable days, with no losers.
I kind of wish I hadn't posted that. So far it hasn't been on my mind, until I completed my trading today and was about to walk away from my desk, and broke my routine of leaving everything on collecting data, and turned everything off.
Hopefully there is no such thing as a jinx!
By the way, any personal bests in regards to number of consecutive profitable days?
Wednesday was a fairly straightforward day. A waste of time due to the narrow range. If you can make 2-4 ticks on a day with a 6 tick range you are doing very, very well. The idea is to tread water on such a day saving your energy for a day like today (Thursday) and tomorrow (Friday).
Since I believe today and tomorrow to be very important days I will post a brief pre-market commentary, followed by my price projections for today.
Today we have one 0730 CST report, Jobless Claims. As you know from reading this journal, I have no knowledge of the possible numbers nor do I care. I only care about 0735 CST. Then I make my decision.
Yesterday, we traded in a tight range from 106 20 to 10613. I'm not talking about the day's high and low, simply the most important range for the day. These two numbers are important.
Here are the price projection numbers for the day:
High
106 28
Low
106 03
Middle
106 15
I would be a seller of any attempts beneath 106 12 and hold until 106 06 looking for 106 03.

If we break 106 00, look for 105 28, 105 24 and finally 105 12.
Sold 2 ZB at 106 08

Tried to sell 4 ZN at 104 175 but wasn't filled.
ZN's look really really weak.

Look to get out of some at 106 03 or better.
May want ot load up on more shorts if we hit 106 06 or 106 05 again.

Bought 2 ZB's back at 106 03. Look carefully at remainder. Holding for better but play it safe.
NEVER let a trade return to entry.
