0900 CST Out of everything. I may call it a day. There really is no reason to trade anymore today. I think we will have an opportunity to buy at least one more time after 0920, can't say when exactly until I see the price and note the level.

0905 CST And we hit 111 18. Oh well, only got out a couple of ticks early.
Orders in to buy 4 ZB at 111 13 and 8 ZN at 108 010.
The ZN will get hit first obviously. That is a get my feet in the water trade. The real buy is the ZB.

Long 8 ZN at 0920 CST.
Waiting for the ZB to hit. I will absolutely positively get out of most at 111 17 and equivalent in the ZN.

Hopefully this run to the upside will last long enough to give me my important target date next week.
Quote from Jaxon:
great job! I really appreciate how timely your posts are. None of this hindsight trading, ie turned bullish yesterday and loaded up at the close - just took profits at the highs.
Thanks! Things have really changed quite a bit for me this April. I came to the realization that my mindset and methods were not ideal for day trading and decided to make changes. To a certain extent what I mean is that my method of trading along with the stress was not sustainable over the long haul, given some of the personal issues I pointed out previously.
I'm focusing more on where value is, and time. Jack Hershey says it is all about price and volume, and I agree. My addition to that is that it is all about value and time.
0933 CST No fill on the 111 13. We are at 111 17 in the ZB. If we kiss 111 18, and have no follow through, I need to consider exiting most if not all of the ZN's. This is more of a scalp trade on the ZN's. The ZB's would have been nice.
108 050 is an ideal target in the ZN's, but I'll take anything between 108 20 and that price.

Need to start watching the 1 min Dow. If we can spike down a bit that may be just enough to have a test of the high in bonds.
