  1. So, is it possibly to initiate and manage a trade while called away from your workstation to check on your sleeping 1 year old and having them throw up all over you and you then have to quickly rinse them down, clean them up and put clothes back on them? Yes, a resounding yes. All by myself as my wife exercises in the evening!

    Having an auto-attached stop helps for peace of mind, though.

    UPDATE:
    0832 CST 0900 may be a cycle time to watch out for.

  2. Will look to get out of this trade by 0900. I'm looking for roughly 3 ticks, i.e. 105 28 or better.

    Remember, 105 28 was an important support number coming down off of the 106 00 high yesterday. Breaking it will be good for the upside. Still, don't count on too much of a move. The meeting is yet to come.

  3. Order in to sell 2 ZB's at 105 28. That will be it for me today depending on this order.

  4. 0853 CST out at 105 27. Didn't like price behaviour, and 0900 can be a spike up or spike down.

    I think I'm done for the day.

    By the way, never forget to cancel your stops!

  7. Based on the last NN cycle, this run to a low is probably good at least another hour and 40 minutes, i.e. the last NN cycle top before 0900 was 0700.

    Petroleum Status out in 8 minutes, but it should have no effect.

    Will you miss some(or even quite a lot) trades by using Limit order?

    And why are you more interested in the ZB than ZN? I am a newbie and feel ZN is a safer play! :)
