<tzar> | hi NihabaAshi | 10:30 |
<Trader> | Niha why did you choose to trade ER2 and not any of the other emini's? | 10:34 |
<KN-SR> | short 1265.25 | 10:35 |

<@NihabaAshi_away> | Trader...I got a few minutes before I head out the door. | 10:47 |
<+szubaark> | Covered all Short ES at 1265.75 --> - 1 «« paper »» | 10:48 |
<@NihabaAshi_away> | I use a volatility based method. |
<+szubaark> | Buys ES @ 1265.75 «« paper »» |
<@NihabaAshi_away> | Thus, the more volatile the market...the better it performs. |
<+silo> | niha you coming back for the fomc move? :) |
<@NihabaAshi_away> | DAX, FTSE, CAC40 and EuroFX are my favorite trading instruments and my method performs the best on them in comparison to ER2 | 10:49 |
| However,
to properly trade those instruments like I did when I was single (I'm
married now)...I needed to get up around 1am - 2am est to prepare
trading them. |
| Now
that I'm married with a family (kids)...I no longer can get up that
early and trade ER2 because it fits well into my personal life while
offering some good volatility. | 10:50 |
| When kids are older (less demand and more indepedent)...I'll go back to trading Eurex and Euronext. | 10:51 |
| Bye..talk to all later. |
<+Trader> | getting up in the middle of the night for the Europian session is tough. i tried that but i was a zombie next day |
<+manto> | later N |
| yeah that is tuff |
<JimL> | Ni,
do you have any experience & thoughts on er2, when & what do
you think will happen when er2 goes to ICE exhg? Comm & chg in
volatility/style | 10:52 |
<+JimL> | was typing didn't see that Ni had left, I'll ask next chance. anyone else have any thoughts on my question? | 10:54 |

today reminded me of important lesson about sticking to my trading
style and not deviating even if you're "sure" of something -- don't
jump the gun, don't be smarter than the tape, let the trade develop
according to your plan | 15:48 |

<+JimL> | KN,
as a follow-up to our chat discussions here about your entry/exit
signals (matrix/volumes, etc) could you zero me into some dates in the
thestrategylab archives when explained the platform & signals you
look for? I'd like to do the research there on the areas that you
mentioned you had explained b4 asking anymore questions here |
<+szubaark> | Buys ES @ 1282.25 «« paper »» | 15:54 |
| c'mon,lets go to 1290!! |
<+KN-SR> | will see 97 tomorrow, i guess |

<+KN-SR> | thanks |
<+tzar> | NihabaAshi! |
| busy man |
<@NihabaAshi> | busy at the wrong time :( | 16:02 |
| too many festivals going on downtown where all the government offices are located...traffic is the worst I've ever seen it here. | 16:03 |
<+tzar> | try toronto traffic downtown rush hour |
<@NihabaAshi> | I drove through it once on my way to Chicago | 16:04 |
| It's as bad as Chicago's traffic |
<+tzar> | yiykes |
| that mustve been a long drive |
<+JimL> | Thks
KN, I'm using IB Booktrader which looks similar to the Tradestation
Matrix in example you posting in the forum. It has current volumes in
each of the Bid & Ask $ increments (as well as total cumulative)
and daily histogram of volumes moved @ each of the prices during the
trading session. Is that the kind of platform basics that I need to
start with? | 16:05 |
<+Trader> | KN your last exit of 1/3 exceeds 1 as in your full entry size............ I assume you have entered at 1271.25 | 16:06 |
<+KN-SR> | Trader read the H[---] | 16:07 |
| JimL...yes......for entry definitely | 16:08 |
| but u will have to watch the interest rate and the market sentiments.......... |
<futurible> | Silo, have you closed your contracts? | 16:10 |
<+szubaark> | Exited all Long ES at 1284 --> + 1.75 «« paper »» |
<+KN-SR> | Trader........the 1/3 2/3 wont add up ...........thats why i alwasy try to leave a note of how many i m holding | 16:15 |
<+Trader> | actually KN this does not matter. All I wanted to do is clarify things eventhough accuracy would help :-) | 16:16 |
<+KN-SR> | I certainly do appreciate very much :) | 16:17 |
<+Trader> | I hope you are having a good vacation KN so that when you come back you can teach us all your use of the Matrix and Vol | 16:19 |
