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.

key word is assist .

<NihabaAshi> Ok...thanks. 08:48

<pavm> gm all

pavm=pat

<NihabaAshi> I was wondering because I think theres 2 - 3 traders in here that also uses the CCI indicator and they use words like "ghost" pattern et cetera. 08:49

<pavm> dang my mirc...:(

<werner> gm all 08:59

<rickf> gm werner 09:00

speaking of indicators i am using DMI and RSI as lower indicators to confirm things 09:01

er DMI/ADX

<taku> mnihahaashi . that is woodie speak. not a fan of his at all. 09:04

just something that works for me 09:08

<NihabaAshi> Covered ER2 Short @ 656.70 --> + 0.1 09:35

punks :(

I'm still bearish

<taku> one thing i see very few mention is the slope of the net advance and decline stocks. i find that helpful

<pavm> ty n

<taku> niki just for you informatin i only short when the 200 rnage chart on es ane ER2 is below the zerl line or long when it is above 09:37

i looked when you posted 09:38

<Spartan> Shorts ER2 @ 1295.75 «« paper »» 09:39

<taku> i used to trade the er2 exclusively . but changed to the ES

<Spartan> es i meant

<NihabaAshi> DAX and EuroFX are my favorite trading instruments. 09:40

<taku> yes many like those

<rickf> I've come to like the DAX as a great "leading" indicator....ES seems to follow 2-3 secs later

<NihabaAshi> Can't trade them due to family reasons because it requires me to get up at 1am est to properly prepare to trade them.

<taku> understand that . used to live in alaska. was a four hour time difference. was great in summer months . could go fishing at noon untill midnight. get four hours sleep and start over 09:42

<rickf> :(

<Spartan> looked like a very nice setup, I got ran over though 09:45

<NihabaAshi> There's about a 2.3 point range noise right now without volatility.

Volatility just showed up

<taku> two other things i requie is the $comp or the nyse composite index. which must be above the 34 ema for longs and below for shorts 09:47

the other is the nyse ad-nyse (also called $add) same thing must point up for longs and be above the 34 ema 09:48

just assists me for hoving confidence for trend

<NihabaAshi> I'm at a profit target right now...

Will hold to see it there's enough energy for it to go for that 668.00 09:57

<rickf> taku - is that a 9-25-34 TEMA you're running there? 09:58

<taku> no

<NihabaAshi> Less typing ???

<taku> typeing nihabaAshi takes a while

ni or niha would be better for me

<NihabaAshi> Niha is ok...

<taku> see others use nihi 10:02

thks

<rickf> whatever works, t :)

<NihabaAshi> I have it coded to make a bell sound on my computer if someone types it.

<taku> neat

<NihabaAshi> Because after my first few trades...I minimize the mIRC so that I don't see it anymore.

<Andy> Shorts ER2 @ 669.2 «« paper »»

<NihabaAshi> Thus, will only maximize it when I'm actually in a trade.

Other than that...its a distraction. 10:03

<taku> distraction. you so corret i just log on to mirc when waiting

<NihabaAshi> IRC has some cool little tools or codes you need to play around with.

I've coded to make sounds the following words... 10:05

Niha, Nihaba, NihabaAshi, candlesticks, hammer, spam, spammer and a few more words.

<rickf> i think many of us do something like that, actuaally 10:06

(ain't technology wonderful)

<NihabaAshi> That allows me to keep the screen out of view and I'll only open it when it makes sounds to those particualr words.

<rickf> short es 1305 (paper)

<NihabaAshi> I just lost my Gold, Oil and $SOX data :( 10:07

Pin Ball Maching price action showed up :(

<pw998> do you place limit or market orders when entering a trade? 11:47

<NihabaAshi> Depends on the market condition

<pw998> I found that many times when I place a limit order it does not get hit. I guess the market was moving too fast 11:48

<NihabaAshi> It happens...had about 5 of those this week.

<pw998> had 4 today 11:49

<NihabaAshi> volatility contracting fast... 12:00
