0821 CST Right now I'm looking to buy between 111 16 and today's low. This is subject to change. Target would be only 3 to 5 ticks, i.e. 111 19 to 111 21.

I put in an order to buy at 111 13. I didn't get filled until around 1205 CST. My target was adjusted more modestly to 111 16 which was filled around 1225 CST. So, fortunately, I ended the day on a positive note, although it took a lot more time than I usually allow. Audible alarms upon fills allow me to walk away and sleep until the fill. Definitely not the ideal trade in terms of time, but in terms of a range bound day it was good.

I admire your commitment - mind ask you, what time zone are you in?

Pre-report

My numbers from yesterday remain the same today. I have no bias. I still think my lower targets from yesterday are possible, but that doesn't mean I'm going short. Have to wait and see which direction the post-report spike is in.

In addition to the numbers I posted yesterday, the common sense numbers to look at today are:

111 28
111 23
111 17
111 11
