    Sold my long @ 111. This trade was a torture!
    ZB feels like it may have legs to 111 '16, later in the week if the USD weekness continues.
    I rang the register and will re-group.

  2. 0941 CST I'm getting ready to call it a day. I still think we have a buy soon, perhaps even now at 111 01, with a target of 111 06 or 111 08, BUT the market has been very fickle the last couple of weeks.

    In any event, I would not take a sell today, but that is just me. My guess is that we will head higher over the next few days.

  3. Great job! I agree with your assessment.

  4. 0957 CST The 10 year looks like the better buy. If you buy, look for a target of 107 260. your entry would be any price between 107 220 and 107 235. Right now we are trading at 107 235 with a kiss of 107 240.

    Bonds actually outperformed stocks today. Seems like that hasn't happened in a while, especially on a day when stocks are up.

    Dow +.41% S&P +.2%

    TLT +.56% BTTTX +.61%

  6. Solid call. We hit a high of 107 270 for the day. You easily could have gotten filled at 107 240 when I posted the above.

    My take on tomorrow is a slow grind up to 107 295. After that I'm not sure as I need to look at the levels some more.

  7. 0533 CST I exited 4 ZN's at 107 295. I bought a little later than my post above yesterday and decided to hold overnight. I don't have my exact entry as I no longer see yesterday's trades, but the above trade made me roughly 500 USD from my account value close yesterday.

    As I stated previously, I think something has changed and we will go up perhaps through Friday.

  8. 0720 CST Looking to buy bonds anywhere between 111 01 to 111 10. Probably will only kiss 111 08 or 111 09.

    I'm reoptimizing my neural net 0738 cycle buy right now.

  9. 0728 Order in to buy 2 ZN at 107 295 just to get started. This is small size.

    Neural net came back with an 0740 cycle buy as most ideal. Only good for net 2 ticks on the ZB.

  10. ZN order filled 0729 CST. Trade is early, perhaps too early. I think we have a shot at a slight dip to 111 05 or so, followed by an attempt to 111 18 to 111 21.
