0817 CST Sold 4 ZB 110 29.
How's that?

Anticipating break of low. No break then may exit with small 1 - 3 tick loss.
Reader's Digest version:
3 week vacation. First time back in US in a few years. I helped to insure that Carnival Cruise Line and Walt Disney investors made money.
Between the above and some other issues I haven't had time to trade / post.
I've also decided to take a step back from my usual second to second 3 - 4 hour monitoring of the market. I think in the long run, the stress will get to a person.
With that in mind, I'm branching out and I've decided to commit a portion of my trading account to Spydertrader's method, i.e. the cycling stocks portion of the method. I went live with my new account last week. So far so good. The gains are slow, but in my opinion they have the potential for being more consistent and certainly less nerve-wracking!
I do love the bonds and will continue to trade them, just more of a waiting for the perfect opportunity style rather than feeling like I must sit here every day for 4 hours and stare at the screen.

0835 Out at 110 31. Still could go down, but the opportunity I saw is gone. Will watch and wait. Looking to short again, but I'm not willing to commit.
The circle notation on the chart told me to get out.

0940 Bought 4 ZB 111 00. Probably just a quick trade, looking for 4 ticks. Price action today is narrow. Not really a pleasant day.
First target is 111 03.
0950 Out at 110 29. That is it for me. Narrow range for last couple of hours. Should have known better. Done for the day with bonds.

Pre-market analysis 18 Jan 2007
Today we have a huge day in terms of reports and really the best reports as well as the best impact will be at 0730 hrs CST. Here are the reports.
Consumer Price Index
Housing Starts
Jobless Claims
My trading today will be confined to this time through about 0830 hrs.
Important numbers are:
111 09
110 26
110 23
110 17
110 03
My plan? Well a look at the daily, the 60 min and the hourly tells me that in all likelihood I'll be shorting off of key S/R. Of course price activity at 0730 will dictate everything.
Today is the day to double up and anticipate breaking through S/R, not yesterday.
Good trading!

0739 CST Lame sell off to 110 08. You should be looking for a single short attempt anywhere between 110 13 and 110 17. I wouldn't commit a large size to this trade.
