[14:38:37] <@wrbtrader> Yeah, its a Creeper Movement that had a nice volatility spike to start the down movement

[14:39:53] <+Tigerman> I m always scared to enter later after the spike
[14:40:43] <+Tigerman> but main reason to enter is a good signal vs a early enter
[14:41:20] <+Tigerman> looking at news seems the stronger usd vs euro was the origin
[14:48:06] <+Tigerman> Shorts iShares IWM @ 80.73
[14:48:39] <+Tigerman> just distracted entered too late
[14:50:04] <@wrbtrader> long low shadows appearing
[14:50:05] <+Tigerman> Covered all iShares IWM Short @ 80.70 --> + 0.03
[14:50:13] <@wrbtrader> long lower shadows is what I meant
[14:51:05] <@wrbtrader> Price action has several WRB Hidden GAPs to fight through if its going to counter-thrust back upwards.
[14:51:47] <@wrbtrader> In contrast, other key markets like Gold GC futures, Oil CL futures are in a low volatility tight trading range
[14:53:29] <+Tigerman> yep cl inside previous dark wrb hg

[15:36:59] <+T4n_paper> Covered TF Short @ 808.2 --> + 0.2 «« sim »»
[15:49:19] <@wrbtrader> Emini TF still in a low volatility tight trading range...
[15:49:37] <@wrbtrader> Hopefully its not going to continue as such into the 4pm est regular session close
[15:50:32] <@wrbtrader> EuroFX 6E futures also in a low volatility tight trading range.
[15:50:42] <+canaandog> it and EMD still in/near their normal gaps
[15:50:48] <+canaandog> it = tf
[15:50:48] <@wrbtrader> In fact, all the key markets are in a low volatility tight trading range
[15:52:12] <+Tigerman> tight range here
[15:52:24] <+Tigerman> but still in sell pressure x me
[15:54:05] <+Tigerman> Shorts iShares IWM @ 80.81
[15:57:46] <@wrbtrader> volatility breakout of that low volatility tight trading range
[15:58:22] <@wrbtrader> Saves Emini TF from a boring 4pm est regular session close
[15:58:31] <+Tigerman> Covered all iShares IWM Short @ 80.67 --> + 0.14
[15:59:40] <@wrbtrader> lets see if that new market tendency shows up today involving the "continuation"
[15:59:54] <+Tigerman> maybe can continue lower but I prefered realize my gain
[16:00:40] <@wrbtrader> Instead, its trying hard to retrace the WRB Hidden GAP

price action only trade signals via concepts from our strategies in the
private chat rooms called
#VolatilityTradingTSL or
#SwingTradingTSL and they're not allowed to do such in #TheStrategyLab.
Reminder, our
Terms of Use (TOU) Policy is a must read to prevent any misunderstandings along with revealing that #TheStrategyLab is a serious professional trading chat room and we expect members to act
professional. Also, these logs may have been edited (rarely) to remove any messages that a member has complained to me via private message that they consider a particular commentary to be inappropriate, offending or too far in the off topic area that's a distraction when the commentary was posted.
