Good morning. Bond weakness continues. Only place I would buy is 148’00 but I don’t expect that to print today. Instead I’ll look to sell back through 148’24. I also like selling 149’16 with smaller size adding at 149’22, using a 12 tick stop on the average while targeting 24-32 ticks.

Thursday, December 8 2016 Morning Bond Comments from MB
Bond market was trying to build a floor for much of this week but just broke key areas as ECB hitting the wires.
I would not consider buying today (as of 7:00 am). I like fading a rally at the (**) levels. However, given the sensitivity of this market to ECB reaction, I am hesitant to give exact trade ideas.

Crude $50 gave way, intraday charts showing lower highs and lower lows, now the question is, how sufficient is a 5% pullback?
If the morning is slow to moderate in terms of volatility, I like buying $49.70 with small size, risking .25 to make .50, or selling the $50.45 price risking .25 to make .75.

Wednesday, December 7, 2016 Morning Crude Comments from MB
Crude now having trouble with the $51.00 handle, increasing the likelihood we get a test of the $50.00 psyschological/technical level today. Given the EIA # today, going to have to widen entry criteria at least somewhat depending on volatility.
My ideas for the day do not include holding any position into the 9:30 # without a break even stop. However, a first hour (8:00-9:00 cst) or 10:30 - later test of $50.00 I like buying risking .15 to make .45. I’d also attempt to buy $49.70 anytime today, risking .25 to make .75.
From the sell side, I like selling $51.00 and adding at $51.20, risking .25 on the ave, while targeting .75.
$51.25 (***) TGT 3 + Strong Resist
$51.00 (**) TGT 2 + Stronger Resist
$50.75 (*) First Higher Target + Some Resist
$50.50 (*) Early Pivot
$50.20 (*) First Lower Target

Small rally in bond market overnight, but a persistent market trying to lift a bid, another two handles higher and I think it will be a gift for shorts.
As for today, I like shorting the 151’20 price with smaller size and adding at 151’26, risking 16 ticks on the ave to make 32 ticks minimum. As an alternative, I could see having a smaller position buying 150’15 and adding small at 150’04, using a 12 tick stop on the ave to make 24-32 ticks. However, I like the sell much better.
151’26 (***) TGT 3 + Strong Resist Zone Begins
151’20 (**) Higher TGT 2 + Better Resist
151’08 (*) First Higher Target + Some Resist
150’31 (*) Early Pivot
150’15 (*) First Lower Target + Some Support
150’04 (**) Lower TGT 2 + Some Support

Tuesday, November 6, 2016 Morning Crude Comments
One of my ideas triggered yesterday, buying $51.10 looking for a .50 move, and we just barely got that overnight, and this morning Crude is looking weak after making a lower high, now it’s making a lower low as it appears that the $50 price could be tested soon.
I think over $50, and I still have to look to buy dips. My idea for the day is buying $50.20 small and adding at $50.00, risking .25 to make .75.
$51.60 (*) Second TGT + Some Resist
$51.30 (*) First Higher Target + Some Resist
$51.00 (*) Early Pivot
$50.50 (*) First Lower Target + Some Support
$50.20 (*) Lower Target 2 + Some Support
$50.00 (***) Pivotal
$49.70 (**)

Good morning. Somewhat of a mixed bag since yesterday in the Treasury complex and so the bias has to remain to the trend which is lower. Yesterday, If you took both trade ideas then we did well on both sides, however the short idea from the 150’29 ave need a break of 150’10 to get the full handle, I am bidding 150’13 on half and moving stop to break even.
For today: I only want to be short below 150’10. Only new idea today is selling 151’04 with small size, risking 16 ticks to make 32 ticks.
151’20 (***) TGT 3 + Resist
151’08 (**) TGT 2 + Resist

150’21 (*) Early Pivot

149’26 (*) Second Target
149’10 (***) Third Target + Support
