This is nothing to do with the Bonds. This is universal to all beginner traders.
Stop Gets hit, then it goes back to entry
No Stop, big loss
Profit finally hit...price continues to make triple the profits.
Welcome to futures.
Start a journal here of your trades, luckily many good souls will help you out.
All pros lost in the beginning, the honest ones admit it.
hang in there.

i traded the 10 year tnote with rather good sucess,try a 4 range and work on your entries,make sure you catch the new moves as they happen i used a 6 zerolag ema and a 12 i think you just have to play with it try to scalp it not day trade it, that might help,i was scalping 3 ticks on my 4 range chart...sharky
But if you have something that works on certain futures I would not change.
profitable trading is boring. The 10 YR notes though are much better for trading so you did get good advice.

The classic newbie post. If I had been active on forums I would have written my own variation on this post albeit with better grammar.
zhye, What you're experiencing is normal. Don't panic. There is nothing wrong with your results. Whatever you do, don't do anything crazy. You just have to learn to think a few steps ahead of everybody else.
I think it more has to do with your psychological approach to the bond market itself. You should paper trade the bond market and keep a journal of what is happening while your watching as well as your reasons for entries and exits. Then compare your findings to your journal entries for the Nikkei and ES. Your findings may surprise you.
