I've been trading more frequently these last 2 weeks and haven't had time to post. I'm posting to alert readers to a very important ZB time coming up at 0945 hrs CST.

I would give it + or - 5 minutes to be safe. I'm assuming based on activity as of this minute that it will be a short, but it could also be a continuation up move to at least 116 240.

Just an FYI. Over the last week I found myself trading a little more frequently than I had planned. I wanted to post this as an observation that it is really difficult to not take a profit when it is presented to you. I know that I said I'm shooting for more than my previous per trade (1 lot) goal of 4-6 ticks but this market (the ZB) is simply bending over backwards handing out 4-6 tick trades many times throughout the morning. It would be impossible for me to post those trades here. To give you an idea of how much over trading I'm doing, I had 10 round turns yesterday, looking at over 1100 USD per 2 contract (pair) of ZB.

The above continues. I had 12 round turns today. The entire week, I've had over 10 RT's per day. This is very unusual for me and I believe it is indicative of the market's behaviour.

It doesn't get any better than this. Check out the 1 min chart. That little bit of knowledge was worth roughly 500 USD on a 1 lot.

Good Trading. I'll try to post some more times tomorrow.

Well, for the first time in roughly 2 weeks I've had a down day. Today has been very difficult for me in the ZB as there has been virtually no follow through in breaking key S/R. Fortunately, I'm only down 100 USD and change. The whole day has been a net profit value between +500 and -500.

Since my game is off, I think it might be best just to take the loss and call it a day. Winning streaks have to come to an end. I don't have time to post a chart. The time I'm referring to is between 0730 and 1012 CST. Yes, yes, a ton of money to be made in the range, but I'm not a paper trader so I won't boast about the million dollars I made today trading the range.

Two ZB times coming up are:

1310

and

1344

115 275 is a very important number.

You are sitting on roughly a 400 USD profit if you paid attention to this post about the number (not the times, they come later).

Can you feel it? Yeah, I know, even though it is staring you in the face, you don't believe. No problem. I understand. None of this stuff works anyway.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

:D
