<szubaark> ES also. 12:50

<eminitrader> es not moving because of dj :))

wish i were trading the nq today 12:51

<szubaark> emini i added the NQ to my arsenal as i noticed its starting to trend nicely 12:52

still wont touch ES or ER2

<eminitrader> yep ..

unlike the nq es is generally good for 1-2 pt moves and sometimes a huge runner..these add up 12:53

well speak for myself 12:54

<szubaark> ES,YM possible Top here.. might bail on my remainder Long 12:56

<jbraswell> why not er2, szu?

<szubaark> jb... ER2 and EURO left scars that hurt to this day

<jbraswell> gotcha, I know it can move fast and hurt... 12:57

but it just seems to move more smoothly

<szubaark> I dont like to LOSE $1000+ in a matter of seconds.. $1000 is a lot of money for me.

<jbraswell> i hear ya

<eminitrader> think it might give it one more shot...before it gives up

the lon term charts are bullish 12:58

<szubaark> yup.. reverse divergences setting up on lower timeframes for the CCI,MACD,RSI traders 12:59

* NihabaAshi_away is now known as NihabaAshi 13:12

<NihabaAshi> EuroFX has been dead (no volatility) for the past 55mins... 13:13

One of the main reasons why ER2 has not dropped like a rock.

<jbraswell> why does eurofx affect er2 more, niha? 13:14

<NihabaAshi> Not sure...it only does on days when the market reacts strongly to a key economic report release.

I only pay attention to both at the "same time" when the volatility levels seem to move back-n-forth. 13:16

However, I ignore their actual price action correlation because I don't think there's much (small correlation) to be concerned about. 13:17

It's the volatility that I'm concerned about and not the actual price itself. 13:18

<jbraswell> interesting 13:20

<NihabaAshi> Exited Remainder ER2 Long @ 701.30 --> + 4.6 13:24

<jbraswell> 2nd try for new high here on ES

nice job, Niha

<szubaark> Nice Niha!

<GoodMood> vn

<szubaark> WATCHING IT HERE 13:25

<NihabaAshi> After coming back from lunch I couldn't get a "feel" for if it had the ability to take out the 702.00 level as I did about the 701.00 level.

<jbraswell> Long ER2 @ 701.40 13:26

i'll play

not lookin' good so far 13:27

<szubaark> ES possible triple top.. ouch!

<X> #FuturesTrades Info -> This room is only for Trade Posting (real or paper) and/or discussions about a posted trade or key market events that could affect a trader's open trade position. LURKING not allowed..strictly enforced.

<NihabaAshi> By the way...EuroFX has nothing to do with my entry signals. 13:31

I only pay attention to it when I have a very profitable trade and I'm trying to determine if I can continue milking that trade sort'uv speak.

Simply, when I'm greedy...EuroFX chart becomes critical to the level of my greed. 13:32

<jbraswell> stop at BE for me 13:48

<NihabaAshi> nice jb 13:56

<szubaark> Exited all YM Long @ 11000 --> + 70 13:57

frustrating day, turned into VERY profitible day. 13:59

<NihabaAshi> Geesh szu...its been awhile since I've seen a YM trade like that...nice.

<eminitrader> excellent szu ..very nice :)))\ 14:00

<szubaark> Niha, thanks. I was wondering why u didnt Hold?

[13:24] <NihabaAshi> Exited Remainder ER2 Long @ 701.30 --> + 4.6

<NihabaAshi> :) 14:01

szu...sometimes when i take a lunch while still in a trade and when I return...

I kind'uv don't have the same feel for the trade as I did prior to lunch. 14:02

When that happens...I usually just bank my profits and call it a day.

<jbraswell> crike! 14:04

good job, man

<szubaark> jb, nice trade also.. i know u still holding. 14:06

<jbraswell> thx...

yeah, i'm trailing my stop under each 10min bar

might get taken out on this softness here 14:07

<eminitrader> u still holding :)) nice call jb

<NihabaAshi> szu...to add another twist to why I wasn't still in that trade was my position size managment. 14:15

I was small size when I should have been large size.

I had a BULLISH bias today. 14:16

Thus, had I had 6-9 ER2 contracts instead of the 3...I would definetly had still been in that trade. 14:17

Main reason why I went small size was because I was too slow (chasing) in my first trade... 14:18

Then started doing it again in that second trade so I decided to "reduce" my large size to a small size because I was a slug today on my entries. 14:19

<jbraswell> Exited all ER2 Long @ 703.90 --> + 2.5

<GoodMood> vn jason

<jbraswell> thx 14:20

i would like to hold longer, but i've got to get out a little early today 14:21

maybe good thing I did 14:24

<jbraswell>	why does eurofx affect er2 more, niha?	13:14
<NihabaAshi>	Not sure...it only does on days when the market reacts strongly to a key economic report release.
	I only pay attention to both at the "same time" when the volatility levels seem to move back-n-forth.	13:16
	However, I ignore their actual price action correlation because I don't think there's much (small correlation) to be concerned about.	13:17
	It's the volatility that I'm concerned about and not the actual price itself.	13:18
<jbraswell>	interesting	13:20

<NihabaAshi>	By the way...EuroFX has nothing to do with my entry signals.	13:31
	I only pay attention to it when I have a very profitable trade and I'm trying to determine if I can continue milking that trade sort'uv speak.
	Simply, when I'm greedy...EuroFX chart becomes critical to the level of my greed.	13:32
<jbraswell>	stop at BE for me	13:48

<szubaark>	Niha, thanks. I was wondering why u didnt Hold?
	[13:24] <NihabaAshi> Exited Remainder ER2 Long @ 701.30 --> + 4.6
<NihabaAshi>	:)	14:01
	szu...sometimes when i take a lunch while still in a trade and when I return...
	I kind'uv don't have the same feel for the trade as I did prior to lunch.	14:02
	When that happens...I usually just bank my profits and call it a day.
<jbraswell>	crike!	14:04
	good job, man
<szubaark>	jb, nice trade also.. i know u still holding.	14:06
<jbraswell>	thx...
	yeah, i'm trailing my stop under each 10min bar
	might get taken out on this softness here	14:07
<eminitrader>	u still holding :)) nice call jb
<NihabaAshi>	szu...to add another twist to why I wasn't still in that trade was my position size managment.	14:15
	I was small size when I should have been large size.
	I had a BULLISH bias today.	14:16
	Thus, had I had 6-9 ER2 contracts instead of the 3...I would definetly had still been in that trade.	14:17
	Main reason why I went small size was because I was too slow (chasing) in my first trade...	14:18
	Then started doing it again in that second trade so I decided to "reduce" my large size to a small size because I was a slug today on my entries.	14:19
<jbraswell>	Exited all ER2 Long @ 703.90 --> + 2.5
