Still holding TF short (still have 1360 as target) and it's not an easy task...I don't know how @tigertrader does it.

Mean while collected 100 ticks on CL short, that was a surprise move.

Current positions TF short and ZN long.

Edit: Crap, it boils down to which to hold and when to hold and when to fold OIL I would have got another 40 ticks, now I am sure it will reach my target area. TF bounced since I am holding it.

Put a break even stop on ZN.

Sold mini Russel with weekly high as my mental stop.



Edit: Stopped out of ZN long overnight. Will try to enter again if I get a chance today.

Damn it still working on that TF. Not an easy thing to hold, my head is going to explode.

Just a reminder:
Keep in mind that we are approaching the date of the Russell's return to the CME.
So in general the days around that might get a bit rough for the asset.

Russell 2000

Good trades!

I remember that and waiting for it happen but don't know how it's going to respond. I might get out before jobs and see if I can re-enter.

Closed TF for some 25 points and opened TZA to see if my idea is still valid or not but with minimal risk and reward.

Hoping ZN to explode higher hence added on to my long position with average of 125`02. Since I don't know how to trade TF before the CME switch I added on to my TZA position.

LOL, explode might not be the right word here.

Still holding ZN long and TZA short (might try to enter RTY short). I will be very comfortable if ZN closes above 5SMA on daily basis. Nothing changed on RTY weekly chart but it is taking more time than I expected.




Will see if OIL holds that area if it holds then I will enter for swing long at VAL.

Moved my stop on one ZN contract to BE+1. Will see how this works out based on that will add back that contract
