ES Journal - 2013

Quote from startraitor:

It looks like the Bureau of Labor Statistics may or may not release numbers on Friday. Sounds like anything that is already complied will be released as they are afraid it will be compromised and disclosed. That certainly is telling that they know there is a huge risk that compiled data is already being disclosed before official releases.

Hmmm. Assuming not the first time this has happened.

I think the real complication is that all of the large fast money players that normally trade that number may back away. Given the claims data of late, this may remove a meaningful amount of liquidity at the bid, and I don't see evidence in the market internals to suggest that slow money is on the bid with conviction.
 
Quote from gmst:

out of these 2 added longs at 1673 for a 4 point realized loss. So total realized now = 21-4 = 17 points and 2 contracts from 1693 long still.

I realized that being long so much with govt shutdown is insanity. I will be happy to buy these 2 cars 20 points down from here :)

Long 2 cars at 1679

So a total of 2 cars long from 93 and 2 cars long from 79. Booked profits 17 points.
