    ok, in the last chart I see a short at the times you asked. I see the MACD crossing down. I'm not sure that's what you referring to.

    John:

    I watch the 10 Year Yield for key R/S levels from time to time, just another tool to clutter the tool box! 4.72 seems to be Support for now?

    Good trading to ya'

    PS: Sharp let him trade Bro, it's the middle of the trading day!
    Why not ask questions when the market is closed?

    Surdo, I asked the question yesterday and John was kind enough of answering it this morning by his choice.
    Thanks.

  6. Today's 0836 3 min ZB bar provides you with a second long entry for today. You would have a target of yesterday's high. Your entry could have been between 111 10 and 111 12. Realistically let's say your were filled at 111 12. So you would buy in anticipation of a break to new highs.

    This kind of trade is risky and will not work on choppy days with no follow through.

    I didn't get in.

  7. surdo,

    I find it helpful. You and someone else have pointed it out before. Good one to watch. Good luck to you as well. Let me know when you make a longterm (days) trade in the ZN or ZB.

  8. If you went long at 111 12 or so, look to get out at 111 18 on half or more.

    We've broken the ZB highs, but we haven't broken the ZN high from yesterday. Could be a nice play to buy ZN on anticipation of break of high.

    I'm not taking these trades.

    I am scaling into a SHORT position as we speak, starting earlier this week. Just sold 111 1/2. Keep in mind, I do trade around the position intraday.

    ' looks like we will test 4.70 % on the 10 YR yield!


    ***Disclaimer***

    Do the exact opposite of my trades and you will make money!

  10. Man, nice 6 tick trade that I didn't take!

    Looks like the ZN play would have worked as well, as late as this post.
