Key Trades of the Day (see chat log below)

Profit/Loss Statement

 

Trading via WRB Analysis: A very quiet trading day which also implies trading wasn't difficult nor were there any surprising price action to cause any panic in open positions.

Further, as usual, the Oil and Gold indices were very helpful in helping me get profits out of trades that would have been losing trades had I not been using those key markets (Oil and Gold) to help manage my trades.

In addition, they were the reason why I had consecutive 8 winning trades when the price action of those key markets were used together with my strategies.  In fact, they help identify key WRB reversals via the 5min chart interval at today's top and bottom in the Russell 2000 Emini ER2 futures.

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.

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, 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 in the world.

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.

[14:17] <NihabaAshi> After that big losing trading day I mentioned earlier...I made some big changes in my trading via applying fulltime how I applied my strategies (position size management, volatility analysis and frequent trading breaks for mental resting during the trading day et cetera).
[14:18] <NihabaAshi> The changes started some BIG win streaks.
[14:22] <NihabaAshi> be back later...family distractions.

[14:30] <Brutus> Yeah maybe it needs to go another 5 - 10 b4 it has an impact similar to when it was breaking the 70's a while back
[14:32] <NihabaAshi> weak support via price action of Oil and Gold.
[14:34] <intowin> Niha your loss post reminded me of a very bad morning a few years ago. I had a virus on my computer called double click. It randomly would double click. I would click market sell and it would market sell 10 instead of five. This went on for 30 minutes util I finallly called and had them get me out flat.. ended up down 6k

[14:39] <intowin> lol I was only trading 5 lots at the time.. trying to get out of a trade with double click virus ended up with a 40 loter
[14:39] <NihabaAshi> Ahh...Ok...
[14:39] <NihabaAshi> I understand now.
