    normally i try hold for 32 to 100 ticks

    but you are right, no complaints

    I should be so lucky this thing keeps ranging from 113 to 117

    eventually the party must end though, then I wont be able to trade ZB no more

    I wish I had your patience!
    Keep an eye on 1250 ES.

  5. Interesting move today. It's on pretty light volume though. Maybe someone received the Advanced advanced GDP number:D

    wow the 30 year is really motoring
    no stock market collapse
    no bad news that I can see


    so must mean the traders are moving it around at this point in time, trading the range?

    weird, ZB not down at all on a HUGE ES rally

    accordingly moved short re-entries to higher, 115'14 then 117 then 119

    Nice trade!
    I am looking to get short as well a bit higher.
    That was an odd rally after the pit closed and ES roared?

    removing my 115'14 entry for short

    this thing is going to go higher IMO

    leaving entries to try short at 117 119 and 121
