T-Bond Day Trading/pivot calculation question



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

I have received many questions regarding the methods and formulas that
I use in creating my daily T-Bond Day Trading reports.

I am currently in the process of creating a guide to these methods,
and I hope to have it completed next week. The guide should answer
most of your questions and give you the footing to make similar types
of analysis on your own.

If you have not yet requested to be put on the distribution list,
please contact me directly. I think in many instances it has helped
deliver this report a little more promptly.
