#FuturesTrades December 7th 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 for the trading day.

Contract Rollover Day  

Profit/Loss Blotter

Contract rollover trading days are usually tough trading days for me due to the fact that the volatility is changing due to contract change and not due to key market events occurring during the trading day.

I'm now in the habit of trading the old contract the first 1-2 trades and then switching to the new contract for the remainder of the trading day.

Also, I know some traders that switch from the Emini Futures to the related Exchange Traded Funds just on Today

Key news of the day

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

Note: Each month there are a few trading days that we consider to involve interconnecting key price action of different markets and such is represented by a particular type of price action from one of the key markets. You can view the charts and their clues that's associated with the key price action at our key market archives.

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.

<eminitrader> later pat
<pat255> later emini much gracias all
<szubaark-away> Niha what market breadth u look at?11:24
<NihabaAshi> The usual indexes...TICK, Advance Decline, Oil and Gold.11:27
<szubaark-away> right.. u only look at Oil when Oil reports come out or its the "talk of the town" same with Gold11:28
<NihabaAshi> Exactly.11:29
<szubaark-away> I have NEVER looked at TICK,Advance Decline.. you think i should?
<NihabaAshi> Simply, if they are making new highs, new lows, network hyping or any other talk of the town stuff...

I usually ignore them.

Lets put it this way, the few floor traders I know and the few institutional traders I know...11:30

They use them.

In other words, I want to use the same tools they are using...

I want to see as much as they see.11:31

Thus, if a successful floor trader was flipping coins...

I'll be doing the same :)
<szubaark-away> hehe.. dont forget Time & Sales.. i need to buy 2 more Monitors :))11:32
and Woodie told me all i need is the CCI :)11:33
<eminitrader> yep i use 3 monitors
<NihabaAshi>  Long ER2 @ 801.00 -> small size 11:34
<szubaark-away> emini u look at TICK,A/D?
<RussellDaytrade> as soon as Bush press conference over, market will lift, lifting now.11:36
good place to exit brut, or partial exits, etc
<eminitrader> no szu
<szubaark-away> yeah i dont think i could handle looking at that much stuff... maybe as i gain more experience11:37
<eminitrader> thats the reason szu...analysis paralysis...the less the better11:38
<NihabaAshi> Hmmm...I didn't know Bush was on TV :(11:39
I try to avoid trading when he's on TV.
<RussellDaytrade> market seems to decline when he speaks more often than not.

usually a good buying opp.11:40
<NihabaAshi> szu...here's how I see it...
If you need to "analyze" the charts during trading...
Something may be wrong.
You should already know what your looking for and wait for it to appear.11:41
When I'm doing "intuition trading"...I'm doing a lot of chart analysis.
When I trade my pattern signals...I'm doing LESS chart analysis although there is some analysis occurring.
<eminitrader> totally agree niha...happens to me
<NihabaAshi> Thus, like emini said...be careful aobut doing too much analysis because it can cause trade problems.11:43
Exited ER2 Long @ 801.20 --> + 0.2 11:44
<eminitrader> thats the statement of the day " [11:41] <NihabaAshi> You should already know what your looking for and wait for it to appear. "
<codehead> dow broke the downtrend line11:48
the res line
<szubaark-away> emini.. it all boild down to LOTS of screen time and lost of blow ups.. only way to learn this racket

Seems an order got through, that sucks
<eminitrader> happening right now ...hope my stops dont get hit
<RussellDaytrade> welcome to the gray-hair club.12:38
<Brutus> Bastards probably banked the pofits and say oh yeah your order did get through :)
<eminitrader> lol

whats the status though ...u out of the long ?12:39
<Brutus> This was my home run day, still have tomorrow
Yes emt
Exit posted above12:40
<eminitrader> k sorry ..i missed that
<RussellDaytrade> yes, thats likely true. if it had gone down, you'd be happy it got htru. overall, i bet you are more happy than not that it got thru. glad it worked out
you got other MBT'ers that you can verify outage, etc. they're bastards anyway you slice it, that much we can agree on.12:42
<Brutus> Yeah it affected eveyone12:43
<RussellDaytrade> ok, i used my allowable chat cuss for the month.
i bet you are one of the lucky ones, brut.12:45
<Brutus> The thing is when I phone the guy says your still long, I.m counting my $1600 profits, then when I ask about the order that says live, he says I have to check, 10 mins later oh you got filled at 799.9.12:46
<RussellDaytrade> it's a crooked game, with crooks on the other sides of trades, and if it isn't enough to to have to contend with market forces, they at times throw in the additional ruses of outages and the like to put traders off balance. have had similar experinces, with stocks, not futures, same deal, same bs.12:49
so, everyone here usually begin to trade the new out contract about this time, (approx a week befor ethe current one expires)?12:52
<Brutus> Thusday before expirey is the rolover day, so 1 week for the Z6 left on low volume12:55
<RussellDaytrade> seems like on this day is the day when volume begins to pick up strongly in new, and tail off on the outgoing, and by tomorrow, vol really dwindles in outgoing.12:57

<eminitrader>  Exited all ES Long @ 1425.75 --> - 0.5 13:59
<RussellDaytrade> just in time to sell 'em!
<Brutus> Yeah the positons had not been deleted and account ballance showed $2700 profit fo the day, If only I had been so lucky14:00
<RussellDaytrade> targets of 796/795, 1791, (that ones just about fulfilled already), and 1412, (also just about fulfilled), with about 25 minutes remaining.14:01
outgoing contract values, not the March.
Brut, while it's fresh, what did we learn today?14:05
<Brutus> When i put on a trade - knock myself out for 4 hours and all will be fine :)14:06
<RussellDaytrade> call me so i can do same!!
<Brutus> IYeah I need to put in stops with the order, a bit troublesome14:07
<RussellDaytrade> better make it 8 hours for me, (am usually early, gotta give em more time to straighten out!)
<Brutus> Have to check it their orders are local or with CME

Yes RD, what does Pfizer say, 50% of men over 50 are a bit premature?14:08

:) jk14:09
<RussellDaytrade> i'd say you just had a strong dose of 'forging', in the market fire. i expect the tempering will serve you well.
<Brutus> It is not the first time14:10
<RussellDaytrade> my girlfriend says i am improving, but i know she is being supportive!...this just in!!, target on er just fulfilled.
<Brutus> Infact rule is exit as soon as any probs occur

I broke it and ER did take that extra dip14:11

Also the speed dial on the mobile had MB trading

But the new sim had not been set for international calls14:12

You have to beat the pack if you have any chance to exit from the desk
<RussellDaytrade> thats my motto, getr out, stand aside, let dust settle. in review, the 3 times that there were outages, 2 on IB's part, and now 1 on MBT, in the past 2 months, all were lows with good buying opps. if one can keep that in mind, as best they can, it may be helpful.14:13
easier said.14:14

<eminitrader> would like to meet the one that predicts correctly - i bet on UP or Down :))15:14
<RussellDaytrade> early reponders to report selling today on inside dope?
market's rallied so far since June, surprise to the downside may be more probable then up.15:16
<eminitrader> true...but with the year end soon who knows15:17
<RussellDaytrade> er the only one holding up its end of the log, expect it'll take a nother drop about now.
<eminitrader> i personally would'nt want to sell now and pay taxes ...would rather prefer selling on Jan 01st and pay the capital gains in 200815:18

this is i were an investor holding stocks from summer this yr15:19

have a good one all15:20
<RussellDaytrade> interesting point on the big picture. the contrarian in my says that those waiting to do just that may find the values 'discounted' by that time.
<Brutus> The same was said in the end of 2005 and early Jan was a huge rally on some days15:21
<RussellDaytrade> targets reset to 796, 1785, and 1412, unless lows break with gusto.15:22
yes, 2005 was a strong Jan.15:23
JAn 2006
actually, both scenarios are possibilities, down , then up. or if up, up, up, then maybe down in Jan.15:25
<Brutus> Yes 4% in just over a week at the start
<RussellDaytrade> nq nearing target
looking at a 15 day chart, i get the impression the market is vulnerable to the downside, perhaps nearterm risk to the 780 area, or March Er equivalent.15:38
