#FuturesTrades is a private and free realtime trading posting chat room on the IRC Othernet server that allows traders from all over the world to communicate.
Click here for the instructions on gaining access to #FuturesTrades.
In addition, NihabaAshi is the only trader in #FuturesTrades that represents TheStrategyLab.com strategies.
Further, you'll find below the chat room text log of realtime trades (real money and simulator) that were posted by full-time, part-time traders from around the world and the timestamp is eastern standard time (est).
Also, you should read NihabaAshi's trading blog like comments (posted below after the trade posts) because sometimes the commentary will contain trading tips that are more useful than what you will see at any other futures blog.

ER2 EuroFX EC +9.40 +0.0000 $940.00 $0.00 Trading Perspective
Yesterday produced big time EuroFX EC futures profits (very stressful trading) so I decided today to take it easy and only trade Emini ER2 futures with a small size via the trading reports only.
In fact, it was a key price action trading day but I was so exhausted by the end of the trading day I didn't have any mental energy to create any key chart stories.
Today's results (real money and simulator trading) shown above are that of NihabaAshi only. To see his total accumulated points for the month of May...click here. To see results for the months of 2006 and prior years...click here.
