Thanks Tom,

I have to agree the 4 points did feel pretty darn good. Why the last trade??? Can't answer that. Inexperience, impatience, greed, tired. Take your pick. My schedule only allows me to trade a couple days one week and 3 the next so I need to work on those patience issues. My fill that day was a tic better than my limit or better order. Just got lucky on that one. I actually had just got up from a night shift and turned on the computer and it was doing exactly the right thing so I jumped on it.

I forget who posted awhile back that had started trading bonds and lost a couple days and then studied what you did throughout the day and he saw it and had a great week or two. I will disect the days a little closer now that I'm getting my feet wet in this market. I notice sometimes just going past '00 or '16 3 tics and coming back down (or up) is enough test. I'll keep studying that and continue with the trades. Paper and money trading are quite different animals. With the tight stops I won't lose my shirt learning it.

You have really got a feel for this market and I can't thank you enough for the time and effort you put in to teaching it. I had never even looked at bonds before.

Thanks for the responce. I really appreciate it.

I'll be back.

Gary
