#FuturesTrades September 21st Thursday 2006 Trade Log

#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, trades posted by members of #FuturesTrades in the below trade post chat log are by traders that do not have access to TheStrategyLab.com strategies except for NihabaAshi.

Fee-based clients of TheStrategyLab.com strategies use the private IRC rooms called #TheStrategyLab and #SwingTradingTSL.

Further, you'll find below the chat room time stamped 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, below NihabaAshi's trading blog like comments, you can read the time stamped trades (prices, entries, exits et cetera) and market discussions that sometimes contains trading tips or insights that are more useful than what you will see at any other futures blog or chat room.

Trading Blog Below is not your traditional trader's blog in the usual blog format. However, you will find informative commentary on a few occasions as time permits and such will contain trading tips that should help your trading as I attempt to sum up my thoughts as I traversed from the first trade to the last trade that was posted in #FuturesTrades realtime trade posting chat room.

Trend Reversal Day and Intermarket Analysis   

Today produced a few surprises in that I was expecting a strong trend day (up or down) in one direction.

However, the market decided to give us some trends in both directions (down - up - down).

Simply, the developed into a strong reversal day in that it produced strong price movements in both directions (up and down).

Trend reversal days like today are easily exploitable for both Longs and Shorts because they are occurring within the realm of most Intermarket Analysis.

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 September...click here. To see results for the months of 2006 and prior years...click here.

Traders Accounting 

As traders we must treat our trading like a business if we are to succeed as traders and as a business. Therefore, waiting till the last few weeks March to prepare for April's taxes is not good for your trading and could put extra stress on your trading during tax month or the months that follow if your one of those traders that filed an extension.. Therefore, its best to be on top of your taxes throughout the year and Traders Accounting is a great resource for such especially if you want to prevent penalties or an audit several years from now.

<silo1> hi folks09:40
<les> true - i thought it more or less filled to the high of the candle on the 9th

gaps sometimes dont fill all the way, but go to some other s/r point nearby

by that time, the magnet effect has dissipated09:41
<PapaJon> could be.. i dunno.. niha the expert with hidden gaps
<les> well, i'd like his opinion on what i just said....niha??09:42

<szubaark> [09:23] <NihabaAshi> Simply, I'm looking for a trend day today...up or down...no bias...will just try and catch something.
<NihabaAshi> I got caught doing too much over-analysis and should have been short around 742.80 when it first rolled over southward :(
<eminitrader> strong support on long term charts though09:54
<szubaark> Niha is that what uve noticed day AFTER FOMC announcment?
<NihabaAshi> Only when the FOMC announcement is lackluster.
<eminitrader> support = uptrend
<NihabaAshi> It doesn't happpen often but when it does...strong chance for a trend day the following trading day.

If ER2 can drop to around the 736 price area...I'll start calling it a trend day.09:55

Hopefully it can close lower by the close to complete the day as a trend day.09:56

Mentally getting away from trading is much harder to do in comparison to physically getting away from trading when its time for some rest and relaxation. Personally, one of my favorite ways to mentally rest is to watch movies I've copy & recorded from the local video store via my Slysoft software that copies any copyright protected dvd's and cd's.

I don't always trade nor monitor the market from my home office. Sometimes I'll do such from one of my favorite nearby Wi-Fi hotspot or whenever I'm traveling via using this little Wi-Fi detection gadget I got from Think Geek that will show more than just the presence of any nearby signal and its signal strength. It has a 12-character LCD that provides information on signal availability and strength as well as essential network information, including SSID, security status and channel. When multiple networks are present the LCD me to scroll through information for each network.
