[09:52:29] <wrbtrader> :(
[09:57:45] <wrbtrader> Emini ES needs to get above that 2944 price area
[09:59:14] <Tigerman______> yep NQ is well above recent high
[09:59:45] <Tigerman______> this last up move give opurtunity to recup my loss
[10:00:18] <Tigerman______> simply needed look at fast moves and avoid the jun k between index
[10:00:39] <Tigerman______> not good sync today = hard trading
[10:02:01] <wrbtrader> As soon as volatility dropped below the 30 area...things are out of whack
[10:02:15] <wrbtrader> It recently did the same not too long ago
[10:02:32] <wrbtrader> The ugly side of mean reversion
[10:02:51] <Tigerman______> wrbtrader best vola days are gone for now :(
[10:03:07] <Tigerman______> i refer to march vola
[10:04:26] <Tigerman______> anyway trading is to find good conditions ... seems on many chat/forum people trade in any conditions and in same way
[10:05:02] <Tigerman______> seems more a 9-5pm job x them :)
[10:05:55] <wrbtrader> 0746am highs
[10:06:04] <Tigerman______> I mean trade as posting chart or discussion ... no actually prove they gain any money in long run
[10:06:08] <wrbtrader> Emini ES just got above it
[10:08:22] <wrbtrader> It has turned into a Squeeze on the Shorts
* Retrieving ##TheStrategyLab modes...
[10:11:59] <wrbtrader> Tigerman...a trick is to concentrate on your own trading.
[10:12:06] <wrbtrader> Don't worry about what others are doing
[10:13:48] <Tigerman______> yeah wrbtrader... agree of course my point is just say and conferm here for others reader benefit ... to look at context
[10:15:06] <Tigerman______> also I look at what others are doing id what they doing is useful to me :)

[10:31:33] <Tigerman______> ok you and people in your area wear mask when in shop or outide in free air ?
[10:31:34] <wrbtrader> Most people don't realize that the eyes are the "most common" way for any dropplets to infect a person
[10:32:00] <Tigerman______> yeah eyes too
[10:32:09] <werner1> germany need mask in shop
[10:32:27] <wrbtrader> I've always seen people in the hospitals wearing masks...many do...not everyone

[10:40:46] <wrbtrader> Sadly, its become the norm in the news
[10:41:19] <wrbtrader> These illnesses are "deadly" and they can cause a person economic disaster if not prepared

[10:45:51] <werner1> https://www.politico.eu/article/the-aus ... continent/
[10:47:02] <werner1> 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
[11:20:06] <Tigerman______> lg es 2951.75
[11:20:13] <Tigerman______> just I m back

[11:48:18] <werner1> ok...cya
[11:48:30] <Tigerman______> bye
[12:13:27] <Tigerman______> ok finish here x today
[12:13:33] <Tigerman______> take care all see next time
[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
[15:04:16] <wrbtrader> 3 contracts
[15:05:19] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2942.00 --> - 1.5
[15:06:09] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2943.50 -> small size
[15:06:17] <wrbtrader> 3 contracts
[15:06:50] <wrbtrader> Covered Emini ES Short @ 2943.75 --> - 0.25
[15:06:50] <wrbtrader> Reverse and Enter Long Emini ES @ 2943.75
[15:11:02] <wrbtrader> Wow
[15:11:04] <asuni> wowowowowwwwww

[15:11:12] <asuni> great reverse
[15:11:33] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2953.00 --> + 9.25
[15:11:35] <asuni> i'm curoius to know where u saw the reverse signal
[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
[15:14:21] <asuni> dinner time
[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
[15:23:24] <wrbtrader> 3 contracts
[15:23:43] <wrbtrader> This price action is now psycho :)
[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"
[15:35:35] <wrbtrader> I use to sing that song to my kids on long car drives on vacation when they was toddlers to keep them calm @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUm4n1SgzuU
[15:35:40] <wrbtrader> :)
[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
[15:53:14] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[15:53:24] <wrbtrader> Will try to hold this into the Close
[15:54:17] <wrbtrader> For a possible 10 - 12 pointer
[15:59:16] <wrbtrader> Market Depth has been straight down since that Mederma news release
[16:00:02] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2917.25 --> + 13.75
[16:00:14] <wrbtrader> WRB pt3 reached
[16:00:58] <wrbtrader> Take care all and see all tomorrow
Session Closed
