  2. I just listen to bloomberg radio online. To be honest it is kind of late, but it keeps me from holding on to something if I've made a mistake.

    What I mean is that I've already made up my mind what to do based on the chart and the price action. If I've gone the opposite direction of what the report is indicating then I may exit quickly if the trade was going against me. If the trade is going in my favor, there is no reason to exit, but of course I would then place a tight stop to capture as much of the profit as possible.

  3. 0748 This could be premature but I don't think we'll go much higher than 110 12. I just shorted 1 ZB at 110 09 to test the waters.

    0753 CST If we kiss 110 01 today, don't count on a break for the 109's. Take your profit on at least half.

    110.13 good resistance, and have no business going close to the 110.18
    Short small at 110.10

  5. Volume up to 110 10 on the 0750 5 min bar has been weak.

    The 0730 30 min bar is weak, and the 0800 30 min bar is looking weak. Two weak 30 min bars in a row are a fairly safe and conservative short entry if you get a good price.

    Obviously not always, but I think we have some things in our favor for a short at 110 09 or better.

  7. Treasury internation capital report.....

    10 year is leading the way. I'm holding shorts for a kiss of 110 01 or even lower.

    Heavy heavy volume on the 3 min bar in the ZN's. The 0803 3 min bar.

  9. 0805 You should be looking to go short again soon if we get a rebound. I doubt it though.

    I'm banking on a break through 109 30 with a test of 109 26. From there, I'll have to re-evaluate. We may still spike up to 110 04 or so and then go back.
