I put in an order to buy at 111 13. I didn't get filled until around 1205 CST. My target was adjusted more modestly to 111 16 which was filled around 1225 CST. So, fortunately, I ended the day on a positive note, although it took a lot more time than I usually allow. Audible alarms upon fills allow me to walk away and sleep until the fill. Definitely not the ideal trade in terms of time, but in terms of a range bound day it was good.
11 ticks was the ZB Range today, not exactly a lotta' fruit falling out those trees! good trading, el surdo
0724 CST Pre-report My numbers from yesterday remain the same today. I have no bias. I still think my lower targets from yesterday are possible, but that doesn't mean I'm going short. Have to wait and see which direction the post-report spike is in. In addition to the numbers I posted yesterday, the common sense numbers to look at today are: 111 28 111 23 111 17 111 11
No trade so far. Difficult to make a decision. Will watch and wait. May be 30 min to 60 min. Post report spike trade is obviously off.
