0903 CST Sold 2 ZB 111 15.
Target is 111 10, but may take above that if trade doesn't show weakness.
0907 CST Watching. Wish I had taken size at 111 16....
Shaping up to be a nice trade.
0909 CST Looking for 111 00 to 111 02 as a target. Ah, nice day!
0910 CST OK, out of everything at 111 10. I am looking to go short again, but thought it best not to have this turn against me in a matter of seconds. 10 tick profit in a few minutes is good enough.
Looking to short again.

0911 CST (not real-time) Short 111 09. Will look to short additional size between 111 13 and 111 07 for push down to 111 05 to 110 31.
0921 CST Now short a total of 8 ZB at 111 10. I will look to short up to 8 more ZB between 111 10 to 111 16. I'm giving these more room. I believe a re-test of lows is a given. Hopefully won't take as long as yesterday.
0927 CST OK we kissed 111 08. We need to see a re-test of 111 06. I'm looking to exit some soon to be safe and hold remainder until somewhere near 111 00. Remember what I've written about the 00's. Caution.
0946 CST Out of everything at 111 06. Kind of nerve wracking waiting for the fill with prices fluctuating between 111 08 and 111 07 for the longest time.
What a day! I'm going to ride my exercise bike for 30 minutes to wind down. Very nervous at the moment. Usually I'm able to control my heart rate and fight/flight response but not on this trade. (I use a combination of autogenics and deep breathing techniques via various internal martial art methods).

Quote from Surdo:
It's supposed to be fun, it's only money.
Nice trading!
Thanks Surdo. Say, since you are into longer term trades and you pick solid entries based on value, what are your thoughts?

Well, I haven't been posting as frequently as 2006, and if you are new to this journal, my trading today is what I try to achieve on a daily basis. The 1 point move days are too few and far between. Those kind of days allow you to fire and forget. The trading days this week have not been that way.
