Profit/Loss Statement

General Strategy Info: The above profit/loss info represents trades by M.A. Perry (a.k.a. NihabaAshi) only and all trades were posted in realtime as shown in the below chat log.

Although I'm not familiar with the trade methods used by most members of #FuturesTrades, I use a rule based (no subjectivity) methodology that involves WRB Analysis.

There is some subjectivity involved with some of my trades when I'm developing a new strategy (hence the name TheStrategyLab.com) that uses WRB Analysis.

In fact, many of my trades or profit targets will occur within key WRB support/resistance zones because these price areas gives me a better understanding of key changes in supply demand.

Traditional pivot point analysis or traditional s/r levels are inadequate in understanding changes in supply/demand of the Russell 2000 Emini ER2 or any other trading instrument of today's markets in comparison to WRB Analysis.

WRB Analysis is also a key aspect in my use of intermarket analysis (ex. Oil and Gold), market seasonal tendencies, volatility analysis and custom Japanese Candlestick patterns to complete my trading plan that results in consistent profits.

Further, position size management is a key aspect of my trading and I trade any where between 1 to 9 contracts per trade depending upon the volatility, pattern signal, seasonal tendencies or intuition.

All of my trades and commentary for today's market action (posted below) are via the user name NihabaAshi (Japanese Candlestick term) and I exclusively trade the Russell 2000 Emini ER2 futures even though I closely monitor other key markets so that I'll have a better understanding of ER2 price action.

With that said, today's trade posting chat log is below and it contains all my trades that were posted in realtime along with the trades of other members of #FuturesTrades.

<NihabaAshi> I'll believe anything in the current overall "high volatility" market conditions. 09:45

<rickf> nah - this is oxps being goofy (again)

<NihabaAshi> We're going to find out how good our data providers really are during this type of market conditions.

<rickf> yep - a bunch of us had data problems last week 09:46

<NihabaAshi> DAX volatility contracting

<KN-ES> Looks like it will break out long 10:48

<codehead> yeah

<KiwiRoo> yup..building up by the look of hting

<ItalianSharp> lots of choppiness since 10.30am...let's bear in mind we got FOMC on wednesday, so we may expect some indecision amongst pros

<codehead> thru

<NihabaAshi> Long ER2 @ 691.50 -> small size

DAX volatility breakout...will be tough to hold.

<codehead> have another target at 12317 now 10:49

<NihabaAshi> Exited ER2 Long @ 692.60 --> + 1.1 10:50

<codehead> on shorter time frame, pb to 12225

<NihabaAshi> Reached my profit goal for the day. 10:51

nice

<NihabaAshi> Going into profit protection mode...

<Pepe> very nice Niha

<NihabaAshi> 1 contract only for the remainder of the trading day.

Then I got burnt :(

<silo> damn

how many points have yo made already

i got in here a bit late this morning 10:53

<NihabaAshi> goal was 2k and I'm sitting right now at 2.1k

<Pepe> wow 10:54

<KiwiRoo> 1342, 1347 then 1352 as target if they can take this above.... 42 and hold level.

<NihabaAshi> When volatility is high like it has been for the past few weeks... 10:55

<KN-ES> Exited 1/6 ES Long @ 41.50 --> - 1275

<NihabaAshi> I wonder if brokers make more on the commissions or less money ???

<KN-ES> Exited 1/6 ES Long @ 1341.50 --> + 25

<Nesi> more money, imo

<KiwiRoo> yeah.. i guess more.. 10:56

<ItalianSharp> niha, i think they make less because traders do less contracts...

<NihabaAshi> I would say less because "most traders" are less likely to trade high volatility market conditions.

<KN-ES> 1 ct t/p 46.75 .............. last ....... t/p 50.00 ... s/l 17.50

<NihabaAshi> Then again on the flip side...

There are more "account blowups" during high volatility market conditions. 10:57

I still remember the video by "High Probability" trader that was posted on YouTube (its been removed due to excessive profanity). 10:58

<szubaark> Exited all Long ES at 1341 --> + 9.5 «« paper »»
