Sold the March 103 puts when bonds had gone to 103-11 then backed off, got
59 for them, also had order in to go long futures at 103-06, it traded down
to that then while waiting to see if the "pit" filled me, they rallied. At
103-17-18 finally I sold the FEB 104 puts and got 42 for them (104-21 =
103-11 cost if exercised on me). Traded out of the FEB 104 puts near the
close at 16 after reviewing the "inflection point" I just posted on the
60min and daily charts. I may re-enter them again depending on what happens.
The MAR 103's went off at 41 (low for the day 35). I will try to hold them
if we stay above 102.
Sounds like you had a good one too

the pivotal high at 104^01. That was getting on for 40 ticks, which has to
be a great day trade on the bonds. After that, if you were really pushing
your luck, the little double top in the stall at 104^12 would have had you
out. (I attach a gif for those who like to see how the market moved)
