One of the most surprising parts of the results is this: 435 winning trades and 434 losing trades. Almost a 50/50 win rate. And yet, the system still produced over $13,000 in net profit on a $5,000 account. Why? Because the winners were consistently larger than the losers. That's the entire edge—risk control, not prediction. → See how risk and reward are structured on every trade.

It was only last week that I talked about scaling into a longer term short position in the bonds. I was only able to get partially in the position when Bonds broke hard today. Never look a gift horse in the mouth. I covered the short Bond position today and will look once again to set up a longer term short Bond position on the next rally. There are several different products you can use to short Bonds. You can sell Bond Futures or use the TLT.
