Hi Ilan. You know I like to keep you guys on your toes, and with that in mind I only just now noticed 2 possible issues with your ZB pivot numbers...

1. You are listing your prices in fractions which translates differently in various trading platforms I guess. In Ninja, they are simply expressed as pseudo-decimals. We know that bonds are still in that throwback time of fractions, but your expressions are 1 tick off from the decimal system. Since ZB is 32 ticks per point, it starts at .00 and goes up to .31 before roll to next whole point. Here's an example...

The cursor in on the start of a new point, at 162.00 (or what they use, the "second" symbol, like we're trading in degrees, minutes and seconds, heh.)

So your 163 22/32 would actually be 163'21 on a chart like this. That could be confusing to some.

2. The above is a ZB March contract snapshot, taken just 10 mins or so ago. The current bid/ask is down near what you have as support level 3, and pivot line way up there, almost two point above. Could there be a data mismatch? Something to look into.

Happy Wednesday @Overnight , you are definitely one of the most observant trader I met and pay great attention to details.

The bonds and ten years have always been tricky this way but I believe the way I got it on my levels formula is as good as I can come up with.

I do believe that you are correct as far as yesterday's levels posted for today as I can already see we are trading below support 3 which does not make sense.

Here are the correct levels and thanks for the heads up!

Thank you @Overnight for pointing out the bonds levels issue - I found the formula error!
