2% 10 year bonds are not in favour

If a reasonable trader can make 2% in a day, then anyone with any financial knowledge is not going to buy 2% a year bonds for 10 years. Doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.

Long 111 on the dot.

Stopped out -15.

I was all "what the fuuuuuuuu..." on that instant -10 pip spike, lol.

-----

I should have known, though. After such an upswing and piercing 111 to go to 111.25, there weren't that many buyers left. Shucks.

I'm seriously thinking of no longer trading forex during US afternoons. For the past 2 months extremely thin ranges have been the norm. I don't really know why. Maybe tomorrow I'll post some ES trades and see how it goes.

Yep, I think that is the case most of the time, but there are always a few exceptions which make you think!

Could be just 'playing dead' right now - very similar setup to last monday when it also played dead - that took off @ 14:00 London time, which is a bit different to 19:00

will go to pub now and forget about e/u for a few hours...

I don't trade the afternoons myself. Mostly stick to the 7-8am to noon period. After that, it just dies out until day's close.
