[10:06:04] <Tigerman______> I mean trade as posting chart or discussion ... no actually prove they gain any money in long run

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52007104[10:55:56] <wrbtrader> Sad story
[10:56:22] <werner1> indd
[10:56:27] <wrbtrader> I have a condo at a ski resort about an hours drive from my home.
[10:56:54] <werner1> i know ..very nice
[10:57:01] <wrbtrader> They were having meetings about the impact on businesses at the Ski resort if they would close down.
[10:57:32] <wrbtrader> I spoke up at one meeting and reminded them that I was the ONLY one wearing a mask and medical googles
[10:57:59] <wrbtrader> Also, the only business impacted were so few...the owners already rich
[10:59:02] <werner1> yeah indd
[10:59:35] <wrbtrader> If they stayed open...allowing anyone to show up to catch a few weeks of snow during a time when income at the shops are normally on a decline (month of March)...
[11:00:30] <wrbtrader> They would risk not having a Ski season in the coming winter of 2020 beginning in December of this year
[11:00:57] <werner1> tss
[11:01:09] <wrbtrader> I was told to sit down
[11:01:22] <werner1>
[11:01:40] <wrbtrader> A week later...government shut everything down
[11:01:50] <wrbtrader> Meeting was not even necessary
[11:01:57] <werner1> djeez
[11:03:23] <wrbtrader> I have a photography store in France...
[11:03:31] <wrbtrader> 10 employees are furlough
[11:03:45] <wrbtrader> I'm mainly paying everyone out of my own pockets
[11:04:09] <werner1> ai
[11:04:14] <wrbtrader> I can afford to do that into next spring of 2021
[11:04:56] <wrbtrader> The issue is insurance
[11:05:02] <werner1> here in the netherlands the goverment pays 90% of the salari back
[11:05:54] <wrbtrader> A lot of insurance companies are finding ways to "not pay up" if a disaster happens while closed (e.g. store burns down, flood, place robbed while closed)
[11:05:57] <wrbtrader> Its crazy
[11:06:44] <wrbtrader> A few more months like this...its going to be survival of the fitess
[11:06:52] <wrbtrader> Darwinism
[11:07:01] <werner1> indd

[12:30:02] <wrbtrader> Everything in the playbook not working well today
[12:33:02] <asuni> fortunately i avoided a lot of trades where i would be in gain........... but only after catching my stop :-(
[13:20:15] <wrbtrader> It's a tough trading day as the VIX continues to mean revert and now sitting around the 28 price area
[13:20:32] <wrbtrader> Each time it drops...trading becomes more difficult
[13:26:33] <asuni> Last 8 minutes ED 2950.00/2950.50
[13:44:06] <wrbtrader> that was a very tight trading range
[14:05:09] <asuni> FOMC member is speeking
[14:09:19] <asuni> speaking
[14:11:46] <wrbtrader> Pres Trump was speaking too
[14:59:53] <asuni> waited all the day for this move! Finally
[15:00:18] <wrbtrader>
[15:00:26] <wrbtrader> Big Move You Got
[15:04:12] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2940.50 -> small size

[15:11:47] <wrbtrader> There
[15:11:54] <wrbtrader> was not reverse signal
[15:12:17] <wrbtrader> Its a news related trade when the price action suddenly spikes like that on news...
[15:12:45] <wrbtrader> It has a tendency to reverse if the news seems to originally was a rumor

[15:14:25] <asuni> cu tomorrow
[15:14:28] <asuni> take care
[15:14:35] <wrbtrader> Ok...take care
[15:16:20] <wrbtrader> Algo's most likely behind that price movement
[15:19:10] <wrbtrader> I'm surprised that when it started spiking back upward...it didn't fill in the first Down WRB Hidden GAP interval
[15:19:21] <wrbtrader> Usually it does in situations like this
[15:22:24] <wrbtrader> Long Lower Shadow interval in a very strange price area
[15:23:19] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2944.50 -> small size

[15:24:19] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[15:25:26] <wrbtrader> now below the S area of that Long Lower Shadow interval
[15:26:06] <wrbtrader> trailing stop @ profit
[15:26:17] <wrbtrader> just in case it does a crazy spike back upwards again
[15:26:51] <wrbtrader>
[15:27:34] <wrbtrader> Price action trying hard to move back up the range of the Long Lower Shadow interval
[15:28:31] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2943.75 --> + 0.75
[15:30:20] <wrbtrader> Getting more jumpy now
[15:30:57] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2941.00 -> small size
[15:31:06] <wrbtrader> 3 contracts re-entry
[15:31:14] <wrbtrader> poor re-entry
[15:32:05] <wrbtrader> back below the S area of the Long Lower Shadow interval
[15:33:08] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2940.25 --> + 0.75
[15:33:17] <wrbtrader> geeesh
[15:35:00] <wrbtrader> Like trying to catch "Jumpy Jelly Beans"

[15:36:30] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2934.50 -> medium size
[15:36:36] <wrbtrader> 5 contracts
[15:37:04] <wrbtrader> now below the most recent reaction low...the same low of the sudden fast volatility sell off
[15:39:41] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2932.00 --> + 2.5
[15:41:30] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2933.50 -> medium size
[15:41:32] <wrbtrader> 5 contracts
[15:44:04] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2934.25 --> + 0.75
[15:44:39] <wrbtrader> that was an intuition trade
[15:47:40] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2931.00 -> medium size
[15:47:53] <wrbtrader> 5 contracts re-entry
[15:48:16] <wrbtrader> poor entries on these Shorts back down
[15:48:52] <wrbtrader> That prior intuition trade messed up the prep for this Short
[15:49:50] <wrbtrader> Market Depth still declining
[15:49:59] <wrbtrader> trail stop @ profit
[15:50:53] <wrbtrader> The news on Mederna re-hitting the markets again
