60min MACD crossed down the Zero Line during the Globex as expected.
22 Feb 2007
0740 CST (not posted real-time) Short 4 ZB at 111 08.
I think somewhere near 111 00 is doable today with an outside shot at 110 26.
In any event, I'll hold on to these four looking for 111 01 or so.
0800 CST No break of lows, currently kissing them no, and I exit quickly with 2 - 4 ticks depending on exit.
0803 CST Out of 4 ZB's at 111 05. Ah, what a shame, so close to my desired minimum, i.e. 4 - 6 ticks. Oh well, 3 ticks will have to do. I'm now looking for one more short entry before I call it a day.
Back later.

FYI, 2 min NN just gave a buy signal. It has been very good these last 2 weeks, although a couple of times you would have to sit through 4 - 6 ticks against you. Entry would be 111 05 or 111 06.
0811 CST Bought 5 ZB 111 06. Wanted 05 or 04 but decided to take 06. Stop is at 111 03. Looking for 2 - 6 ticks on this one.

Even so, nice catch. What made you pick '08, though?Quote from johnpinochet:

I'm looking to exit at 111 09, but I'll settle for 111 08.
I'll call it a day after that. I'm not confident that today will provide a range, at least for the 1 - 3 hour sweet spot I like. 0900 report might provide something.
0830 CST I need to see a decisive break about 111 08 for me to stay in. Looking to take a 1 tick loss or a 1 tick profit at the moment.
0837 CST Out at 111 05 for 1 tick loss.
Time for stocks now, but I'll be back prior to 0900 reports.
By the way, go GROW go! GROW is the reason why I seriously consider getting out of bonds. Check out the chart, I got in early yesterday morning. No effort. No monitoring. No energy. No stress.

Interesting end to a so-so day.
I entered a sell at 111 01 during the first attempt at 111 00. It was late for me so I put in a limit order to buy back at 110 28 based on key numbers I've noticed over the last couple of weeks. The lower pivot was 110 26, but my analysis told me that 110 28 was many times more likely than 110 26.
In any event, I just thought it interesting to note that I got filled when we kissed 110 28. I think it is the first time in a long time that I've gotten such a nice fill on an unattended trade that only touched the limit price.

0756 CST I went long at 111 10 (0730 CST) and bought more at 111 08 on the dip to 111 07.
The kiss of 111 11 with no follow through at 0754 is troubling. I hate trades that come back to my entry.
0806 Reversed and went short at 111 08. I see chop in my future today.
0826 Reversed and went long at 111 11. Chop.
0756 CST I went long at 111 10 (0730 CST) and bought more at 111 08 on the dip to 111 07.

0831 We need to break decisively above 111 10 to 111 12 in order for me to feel that we've broken out of our 15 min upper channel.
I'll look towards long and short trades today, although my bias is leaning towards long now.
0842 First target is 111 15.
0845 I doubled my normal size on the 111 11 entry so I'm looking to regain my small losses incurred and end up with a small to modest profit. I may call it a day as I'm off my game.
0847 If I continue after the exit on the above, I'll look to buy dips until just after 1000 CST or if price action dictates a change.
0849 A break above 107 185 on the ZN's will indicate that all is well with remaining long.
0857 Out of everything at 111 17. Boy that was nice!
