<NihabaAshi> I hope not because I won't be here to trade the FOMC (I think) depending upon if I can cancel an afternoon appointment.

Thus, hopefully I can catch something this morning just in case I'm not around this afternoon. 09:33

<eminitrader> no

<WannaBeBOS> it might suit you better to your scalping method

<eminitrader> Exited 1/2 ES Long @ 1288.25 --> + 2

<WannaBeBOS> just a suggestion

<NihabaAshi> ER2 is just creeping on upwards without any parabolic pop to the upside.

<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.

<eminitrader> have not tried my methods on ER so far

<NihabaAshi> This is an "intuition trade" that I'll be on board when it does a parabolic pop to the upside since 2:26pm est. 15:04

<WannaBeBOS> it might give you some better trends

<eminitrader> thx for the suggestions though :)

<WannaBeBOS> its whippy sometimes

but for your type of trading, you might do well in it

<NihabaAshi> Still no good volatiliyt in this price rise since 2:26pm est. 15:05

<eminitrader> being aggressive just today wBB ..just want to squeeze the max out of this volatility.. also last day of the month maybe bonus time :))

<NihabaAshi> Hoping it shows up soon in my favor and not against me.

<WannaBeBOS> yeah, i understand :) 15:06

<eminitrader> Exited Remainder ES Long @ 1286.50 --> + 0.25

<WannaBeBOS> its better on the bid/ask too

<eminitrader> the es u mean 15:07

<WannaBeBOS> Er

<eminitrader> k

<WannaBeBOS> $10 vs $12.50 for the ES

actually, niha's swing trade report works pretty well on it 15:08

<eminitrader> thats not bad at all i thought it was lot less

<WannaBeBOS> or at least it has in january

<eminitrader> k

<WannaBeBOS> i pretty much gave up ES. but im glad to see you are doing well 15:09

<eminitrader> just getting by :) 15:10

<WannaBeBOS> i think FFT was still trading that when he left

<NihabaAshi> Wanna...when ES lost its volatility...I moved into the DAX and ER2. 15:11

If ES evers returns to the way it was several years ago...

I'll go back to trading it aggressively again.

<WannaBeBOS> yes, i agree

we have to go with what pays :) 15:12

<NihabaAshi> Bingo

<WannaBeBOS> truth be known, i prefer the ES. but ER has paid the bills lately 15:15

<NihabaAshi> I will not be adding to this position because its an intuition trade and a small size only that doesn't merit any additional capital from me.

<codehead> shorts 10930 paper 15:18

late in the day to do it real, i'm chicken

was small plus on two index trades today, wanna keep it 15:19

cover Ym short +5

<NihabaAshi> Looks like it won't happen and it will stay in the creeper mode :(

Exited all ER2 Long @ 736.80 --> + 0.1

I'm calling it quits especially since I don't have time to get what I want out of this trade. 15:31
