Nihaba
Ashi is a Japanese Candlestick and martial arts term that means footprints
or kick.
My real name is
M.A. Perry and I
use the name NihabaAshi at my
discussion
forums and the same user name at other forums (e.g.
Traderslaboratory.com, EliteTrader.com and Trade2Win.com). However,
I'm slowly switching my username from NihabaAshi to
wrbtrader to be
more associated with my
WRB
Analysis Tutorials.
Background:
Veteran that served 6 years in the U.S. Army (Air Assault Rangers) and have lived in many
countries. Educated in the Big Ten and Pac 10. Currently
residing in Québec City, Province
du Québec, Canada with my family (spouse and two kids).
Speak
English, French and a little Portuguese. Crazy about
sushi and darkroom photography involving the old archival process (I
do my own chemistry).
I don't give
weekend seminars, after the close webinars nor do I pretend you can
learn how to trade from hindsight charts. Therefore, to find out more
about how I approach trading on a daily basis...just click on
daily trading routine. You'll quickly learn that my
trading plan as a
whole is much more important to me than the individual components
by themselves and that's my best edge...teamwork via each component . A quick summary from my
daily trading routine...I
don't trade via codes nor do I use a mechanical system. Therefore,
do not ask me for codes to my trade method so that you can test the
merits of my trade method while ignoring the fact it's my trading
plan that's behind my consistent profits and not my trade method
all by itself...I do not have
codes.
All of my
trades are posted
in
real-time along with other traders in a
free trade
posting room (chat room on IRC) called
#FuturesTrades.
Yet, in 2010 I'll be moving #FuturesTrades to a twitter group and it
will still be free (has been and always will be).
Do not join #FuturesTrades to try to mimic the trades of others
including my own trades because #FuturesTrades is not a signal
calling chat room nor is it properly setup for such. Also,
#FuturesTrades is not setup to educate members although many members
provide trade tips via the concepts from whatever methods they're
using. #FuturesTrades is setup to strictly be a real-time
trade journal of
market commentaries and trades so that members can combine it with
their broker statements (real money or simulator) for excellent
feedback into their own trade habits.
In addition, I am a
trader first and vendor
last via owner of
TheStrategyLab.com while differentiating myself from other vendors
because I do post trades in real-time (since
November 2002) in
my own
free chat
room and in other free chat rooms I have no affiliation with along
with
broker profit/loss statements
(since September 26th 2006). In fact, trading is my primary
source of income and my secondary source of income is my darkroom
photography business. As for TheStrategyLab.com website...I get
about
one client per month
and that pays for the maintenance of the site, resources and time &
energy involved with clients during the trading day.
Simply, if I wanted to make good money from my website...the
opportunities are there but my trading and photography business
provides a comfortable living for me and my family.
I offer
free access
to the
first three chapters
of my WRB Analysis Tutorial Chapters 1 - 12 and
free access
to
one of my trade
signal strategies....more information @
TSL Support Forum.
Further, several times per year I
allow traders to
watch me trade in person
(appointment only) at my home based office as a retail trader as
long as they bring their laptop so that I can watch them trade in
person too. Traders I allow in my home are individuals I've developed an online friendship
and then have met in person a few times prior to allowing them into my
home to eat meals with my family after the joint trading sessions.
Yeah...my spouse is a great cook.
Also, I
do not spam other traders
and the owners/moderators of every forum I'm a member will verify
such if you take the time to ask them. However, if someone solicits
me for information about TheStrategyLab.com or any of it's resources
via a sincere interest...I will respond to their request via private
message or email only after I've reviewed their message post
history to determine if they have a sincere interest or just a
cloaked basher. In addition, if you bash me and/or post false statements
about me, I'll put you on ignore and my
no response to
your private messages, emails or public messages will confirm you've
been put on ignore. Simply, there's no need for me to defend
TheStrategyLab.com because most people are smart enough to do their
own due diligence
instead of listening to some jerk hiding behind an anonymous user
name.
Most bashers of TheStrategyLab.com website or me are either cloaked vendors, someone
that's affiliated with or supports a spammer/scammer, traders that I've refused to do
business with or I've refuse to share any information with them
about the details of my trade method after any rude remarks via
their current/prior alias.
With
that said, if you have a sincere interest in TheStrategyLab.com, my primary trade methodology
involves key concepts using
WRB Analysis
Tutorials
(discretionary rule-base market analysis) to confirm my objective rule-base
trade signal
strategies.
WRB Analysis improves the performance of my trade signals...it
also improves the performance of many other trade methods used by traders from entry to exit such as Japanese Candlesticks, Volume
Spread Analysis, trend strategies, range strategies, volatility strategies,
momentum strategies, gap strategies, breakout strategies, divergence
strategies, technical indicator strategies and strategies based upon
traditional chart patterns. However, I don't trade all those
trade signal strategies...they are what my clients are using while using WRB Analysis to
improve the performance of their strategies. Simply,
WRB Analysis
Tutorials
and my
trade signal
strategies are two completely different services offered
by TheStrategyLab.com
It's
also important to remember that I don't believe technical analysis is profitable
all by itself nor do I use it as such. Instead, as a veteran trader, my most
important edges involve my trading plan (+20 years market experience,
position size management, discipline, proper capitalization, proper trading
environment, proper trader workstation, stress management, understanding
global economics, wrb analysis, trade signals et cetera) via how I'm
able to put all these pieces of the puzzle together into consistent
profitable trading.
However, if you're curious about my trade signal strategies...they involve
the following as a price action only (no indicators):
Primary Methodology
Market Psychology (discretionary)
Volatility Analysis
(objective and rule base)
Position Size Management (discretionary)
Intermarket Analysis (objective and rule base)
WRB Support/Resistance Zone Analysis (discretionary in
the basic info and objective rule-base in the advance info)
Secondary Methodology
Japanese Candlestick Analysis (objective and rule base)
WRB Analysis and Japanese
Candlestick Analysis are two different trade methodologies that's suitable
for price action only trading (no indicators) or suitable for those traders
that are still dependent upon trading via indicators.
Analysis of wide range body or
bar (WRB) is the most efficient way to exploit changes in
supply/demand or changes in volatility for
profits.
