  1. Looks like a 5,000 lot traded around 1033 in the ZN's. Pretty impressive play. I wonder if it is just adjustments being made?

    By the way, the MACD tidbit I shared at the start of the day was worth 3 solid minimum 4 tick trades today. Can you spot them?

    could be a spread trade occuring. notes made new high by a tick, bonds didn't follow. gotta love the tug-of-war!

    John I see the long trade according to what I am seeing regarding the MACD at 8.30est..not sure you referring to the long trade or the short at 10.05est

    Not clear yet how not to get choppy with the MACD.
    Also can you get the ergodic on Esignal?

    Thanks for helping out.

  4. Keeping in mind that I've only been right one out of 3 times this year on a long term overnight position, I do believe we are headed lower.

    The Fed continues to pause and all we do is sort of maintain our gains for the day? I think this recent run up has exhausted the market.

    I'm not short yet, but starting Thursday morning, my bias is short and I'll be looking to take on short positions and perhaps even hold 1 or 2 ZB's overnight.

    All bets are off if the Japanese or Chinese come in buying heavily of course.

  8. Out of all for 1 tick loss.

    Tried to capture 1 tick profit on the stall but no fill.

    The correct time of entry on this trade was 0739 to 0745 at 111 07. I got in late.
