  1. intraday the ZB today has gone from 116.20 to 115.29 to 116.23 right now can't take a handle of heat on the size I trade in and out bro in and out, I read the tape, market profile, use daily stochs and fibs a lot of stuff.

  2. Okay, shorty's last add was at 117'9. No more to add now.

    Looking the move down in coming session and a move up to 1485 in the SP.

    If we settle up above 117'13 I will cover and look to set up longs.

  4. Looks like we came back down and hit the demand at the 115'31 longest line again. Need to move through for downside follow through. This consolidation is really consolidating. Nobody knows what to do. (Except you guys of course)

    I bought them @ 116 '04 off of a 15 min signal and DOW selloff and sold them @,'12, '16 for a day's pay.

    I have no clue where these are going...they really need to break 115 on the downside to confirm a lower move, I am not too convinced, and am not betting the farm on either direction!

  7. I have the Tens hitting at a major reversal area at 115'25. Going to keep an eye on this..I guess if it fails it is a major continuation area.

    A lot of mixed signals for me.

  8. 115280 for me. I say oil leads the way in the short term.

    When are you people going to start trading the tape and stop trying to pick TOPS & BOTTOMS.

    So far on this website, the ONLY person that has ever successfully picked a top in ZB is gharghur2 in January 2006.

  10. we are in a sideways trade like spooz until spooz break 1380 or 1430 convincingly we are in a range like they are, so just trade the tape as El Surdo says or be ready for 1-2 handle swings on your position in the long end of the curve it is a lot more fun to play the range which right now is low 115 handle to mid to upper 117 handle.

    Today I bought 116.28 coming off the bottom at 116.255 covered at 117.035 and played some of the rubber band game with the bots! Now the chop begins before Minutes....

    P.S. I only covered 3.5 by having the order in it is whipping too fast to grab anything you gotta have an in and an out or you are asking for disaster.
