106 13 and 106 11. Got in at 106 15 though. Late, very late. Sold 4 ZN's at 104 225 and got out at 104 205.
I kind of wish I hadn't posted that. So far it hasn't been on my mind, until I completed my trading today and was about to walk away from my desk, and broke my routine of leaving everything on collecting data, and turned everything off. Hopefully there is no such thing as a jinx! By the way, any personal bests in regards to number of consecutive profitable days?
Wednesday was a fairly straightforward day. A waste of time due to the narrow range. If you can make 2-4 ticks on a day with a 6 tick range you are doing very, very well. The idea is to tread water on such a day saving your energy for a day like today (Thursday) and tomorrow (Friday). Since I believe today and tomorrow to be very important days I will post a brief pre-market commentary, followed by my price projections for today. Today we have one 0730 CST report, Jobless Claims. As you know from reading this journal, I have no knowledge of the possible numbers nor do I care. I only care about 0735 CST. Then I make my decision. Yesterday, we traded in a tight range from 106 20 to 10613. I'm not talking about the day's high and low, simply the most important range for the day. These two numbers are important. Here are the price projection numbers for the day: High 106 28 Low 106 03 Middle 106 15 I would be a seller of any attempts beneath 106 12 and hold until 106 06 looking for 106 03.
Look to get out of some at 106 03 or better. May want ot load up on more shorts if we hit 106 06 or 106 05 again.
Bought 2 ZB's back at 106 03. Look carefully at remainder. Holding for better but play it safe. NEVER let a trade return to entry.
