<NihabaAshi>  Shorts ER2 @ 716.10 -> small size 10:03

<les> er2's a bit of a bitch today niha :(11:13
 mind u..
 it is most days
<NihabaAshi> It's very buggy this week so far...11:14

Last time I saw that was in ES a few years ago when retail traders begin to move into other trading instruments.11:15

I still don't have any EuroFX quotes after yesterday's blackout problem...11:16
<szubaark> Glad i dont even touch ER.
<NihabaAshi> Been using NQ as a poor substitute while trading ER2.
<szubaark> Euro is another bugger i wont touch. Simply those two caused too much pain and the scars are still healing.11:18
<NihabaAshi> Szu...gotta use them against each other...very tame trading when its done that way.11:19

Thus, trying to trade them by themselves is a pain in the butt.
<les>  Long ER2 @ 714.9 11:20
  Exited 1/2 ER2 Long @ 715.4 --> + 0.5 11:21
<szubaark> you mean trade ER while watching Euro? u looking for volatility here?
<les>  exit stop raised ER2 @ 715 11:22
<NihabaAshi> Yes

It's extremely difficult for me to measure ER2 volatility level via ES, NQ or YM.

Whereas in comparison to EuroFX EC...its very easy.11:23
<les>  exit stop raised ER2 @ 715.3 11:24

<les> i'll be surprised if that happens szu
  Shorts ER2 @ 717 12:08
 ok szu, i'm wrong :)12:09
<szubaark> It happened.
<les>  Covered all ER2 Short @ 717.6 --> - 0.6

<szubaark> heheh..punks faked me out12:16
  Exited all YM Long @ 10725 --> - 14
  Shorts YM @ 10725
 That ER new high was a Bluff12:17
<NihabaAshi> I'm profitable via bumping up my size back to normal position size so that I can call it a day in my trading...12:18

This chop is a pain in the butt.

The first 30mins of trading was great but I wasn't prepared to exploit it :(12:19
<szubaark> I got tricked by that strong Bounce off yersturday's low with almost no pullbacks.12:21
<NihabaAshi> I just found out why I have dead EuroFX quotes...

Vendor saids they have different symbols for it on different servers.12:22

Thus, when I change servers...I need to change its symbol...

Crazy :(
<szubaark> i know. WHY do they all have their own symbols??
<NihabaAshi> Bizarre...12:23

I just changed from EC06C to 6E06C12:24

Now I have quotes.

Then switch to another server and neither work...

Now that I have access to EuroFX again...12:25

I may trade ER2 again and this time with normal size.
<szubaark> for my PT1 i want New Lows or Ill take a loss on this.

<NihabaAshi> I took it easy today and that in itself was the major reason why I wasn't prepared to exploit the a.m. and p.m. uptrends.16:52
 Tomorrow I'll be more aggressive and hopefully some trends develop for a few good trades.16:53
 Take care all and see all tomorrow.
