#FuturesTrades December 15th Monday 2008 Trade Log

 

Trade Posting Chat Log Info: My name is M.A. Perry (a.k.a. online as NihabaAshi - martial arts & Japanese Candlestick term) and I am the moderator of #FuturesTrades.

Simply, my job is to keep the peace and ensure #FuturesTrades is a useful community of traders from around the world that have gather in a virtual trading office.

In addition, I personally use the below chat log as feedback for critical trading information that's not available when I review my broker statements nor any statistical analysis of my trading.  To maintain the usefulness of the below chat log, all of my trades were posted in real-time within 5 seconds after entry or exit unless otherwise noted in the log. 

Further, although I'm not familiar with the trade methods used by most members of #FuturesTrades, I use a rule based methodology (very objective) that involves price action only trading (no indicators). However, some of my trades are intuition via market experience in combo with many concepts from my rule based methodology.

  My own current performance record and broker profit/loss statement is posted at the bottom of today's log.

With that said, today's trade posting chat log is below and it contains trades posted in real-time by #FuturesTrades members including all of my own trades that were posted in real-time. 

Last of all, if you want the instructions for gaining access to our free #FuturesTrades chat room...click here.

Time Zone Info Chat Log below is eastern standard time (est.) - New York City, U.S.A and/or Montréal, Canada time zone.
  
<@X>  #FuturesTrades Info ->  No gurus, no head traders. Members use this room to document (trade journal) their trades and thoughts from one trade to the next trade because it provides critical information they can't get from broker statements nor statistics. Also, mimicking the trades by others is not recommended without their permission.

[09:47] <+szubaark> 0,2 Covered all Short ES at 881.25 --> 0 4,0 «« paper »» 
[09:47] <@NihabaAshi> FYI - There's going to be a new discussion forum just for #FuturesTrades members.
[09:47] <+pat255> k..
[09:47] <@NihabaAshi> I was hoping to have it open this weekend but the family illness delayed it's open.
[09:48] <@NihabaAshi> Re-registration will be required along with a few other qualifying things to get back into #FuturesTrades.
[09:48] <+pat255> dont want to S this ...
[09:48] <@NihabaAshi> Hopefully, tomorrow or Wednesday it'll be open and that's when I'll delete all the memberships at the old forum to allow for re-registration at the new forum.
[09:49] <@NihabaAshi> Take care and talk to all later.

[09:53] <+silo> finally
[09:54] * +Tintin 9,3----[0,3 buys 0,3 estx 15,3@0,3 2422 9,3]----
[09:57] <intowin> too many other rooms dont require any hoops to go through to watch trading. Think I will stick with those. I mostly have these screens open to pass time while I trade anyway
[09:59] <+pat255> was wrong ...geez S work well
[10:04] <@NihabaAshi_away> [09:57] <intowin> too many other rooms dont require any hoops to go through to watch trading. Think I will stick with those. I mostly have these screens open to pass time while I trade anyway
[10:04] <+rickf> did something happen here in the room recently?
[10:05] <@NihabaAshi_away> Most other rooms are full of noise, lurkers, trouble makers, hackers, spammers et cetera.
[10:05] <@NihabaAshi_away> The reason for the "registration" is to prevernt all that crap.
[10:05] <+rickf> this place has been pretty darn topical and focussed, i think
[10:06] <+rickf> short es 872
[10:06] <@NihabaAshi_away> Therefore, sense those other rooms don't have the same "quality" and you have voiced openly that you prefer such...
[10:06] <+silo> not much volume eh?
[10:06] <@NihabaAshi_away> Please leave :(
[10:06] <@NihabaAshi_away> You picked the wrong day to make your comments...I'm in a very bad mood.
[10:06] <+pat255> fed tomorrow, expiration friday
[10:06] <+rickf> quad-witch friday too
[10:07] * Timer 1 activated
[10:07] * Timer 1 halted
[10:07] * intowin was kicked by NihabaAshi_away (Go to your other rooms.)
[10:07] <+silo> szui thought you were still short
[10:07] <+silo> that would have been awesome :)
[10:07] <+rickf> exit es 871 +1
[10:07] <+szubaark> i got Stopped out
[10:08] <breakout> what other qualifying info please
[10:09] <@NihabaAshi_away> Broker p/l statements (real money or simulator). Those that don't...they don't get in.
[10:09] <+rickf> ie to see who REALLY is trading v. lurking?
[10:10] <+pat255> N how can one post p/l statements?
[10:10] <@NihabaAshi_away> Correct
[10:10] <+breakout> u ridiculous cu
[10:10] <+rickf> fair enough
[10:10] <@NihabaAshi_away> pat255...same way someone post a chart.
[10:10] <+pat255> k..
[10:10] <@NihabaAshi_away> You make a screen copy and upload it at the new forum when the new forum opens.
[10:11] <@NihabaAshi_away> 1/2 in here already post their statements anyways...
[10:11] <+pat255> k...wil try that ..have to use some prog to make copy of the statement
[10:11] <+rickf> i haven't, but no problem doing so
[10:11] <@NihabaAshi_away> I'm just asking them not to post it at EliteTrader.com, blogs et cetera.
[10:11] <@NihabaAshi_away> Instead, to make the copy of what they already have and post it at the new #FuturesTrades forum.
[10:12] <Nesi> hi all
[10:12] <@NihabaAshi_away> Simply, I expect (want) to lose 1/2 while keeping those that thinks it's no big deal because they already do such.
[10:13] <@NihabaAshi_away> It will also get rid of the lurkers.
[10:13] <@NihabaAshi_away> Simulator or real money trades...doesn't really matter...
[10:14] <+pat255> N staement for the month? or weekly
[10:14] <+rickf> wow - i didn't think it had become that big of a problem here
[10:14] <@NihabaAshi_away> Just show a broker p/l statement or simulator statement of such.
[10:14] <bazooka85> took me about 30 minutes to join this channel LOL
[10:14] <+Nesi> like a pic from the P/L ..?
[10:14] <+bazooka85> gm all
[10:14] <+pat255> i dont mind have to fifure out how to do it ..
[10:15] <+Nesi> i think its a capture program..pat
[10:15] <@NihabaAshi_away> pat255...one statement to get in and one statement to get back in when I do the monthly password change.
[10:15] <@NihabaAshi_away> pat255...are you saying you've never posted a chart online...any where.
[10:15] <+pat255> k..
[10:15] <@NihabaAshi_away> It's the same process.
[10:15] * +Tintin 9,3----[0,3 buys 0,3 es 15,3@0,3 870.00 9,3]----
[10:15] <+pat255> i do ..on dacharts which is easy .
[10:16] <@NihabaAshi_away> Great...
[10:16] <+pat255> but not on mirc..
[10:16] * +Tintin 9,3----[0,3 buys 0,3 estx 15,3@0,3 2416 avg in 9,3]----
[10:16] <@NihabaAshi_away> mirc ???
[10:16] <@NihabaAshi_away> You meant the discussion forum...not mirc
[10:16] <+pat255> may be willtry first on dacharts then copy the link
[10:16] <@NihabaAshi_away> pat255...don't worry.
[10:17] <@NihabaAshi_away> Darn new forum isn't open yet :)
[10:17] <+pat255> lol k
[10:17] <@X> 1,4 #FuturesTrades Info -> 1,0 Some members (including me) explain basic details about their trades posted in #FuturesTrades @ http://thestrategylab.com/forum/index.php?board=58.0 and there's a link there to take you to #FuturesTrades archived logs if you're interested in reviewing past trades or market commentary posted in #FuturesTrades.
[10:17] <@NihabaAshi_away> It'll be easier than uploading a chart to dacharts.
[10:17] <@NihabaAshi_away> I know because I use to post "all my statements" at Dacharts.
[10:17] * +Tintin 12,2----[0,2 covers 0,2 es 15,2@0,2 872.00 +2 12,2]----
[10:17] <@NihabaAshi_away> Until they got mad and told me to stop several years ago.
[10:18] <+pat255> k...will try
[10:18] <+rickf> niha - may i suggest this change occur at the end of the month instead of the middle? be easier to post one statement
[10:19] * +Tintin 4,5----[0,5 shorts 0,5 eur 15,5@0,5 1.3619 4,5]----
[10:19] <+pat255> figure stuff on computers is a challenge for me
[10:19] <+Nesi> what programs do you guys use to capture a screen?
[10:19] <@NihabaAshi_away> The new forum will be open as soon as my family gets healthy in the next day or two.
[10:19] <+rickf> k
[10:19] <+szubaark> EasyScreenCapture
[10:19] <+Nesi> thx
[10:20] <+pat255> k...thks szu
[10:20] <@NihabaAshi_away> yeah...lots of free stuff online.
[10:20] <@NihabaAshi_away> I'll post links to all the free screen capture programs.
[10:20] <+bazooka85> utorrent
[10:20] <+pat255> k...thks N
[10:20] <+bazooka85> u can just copy screen by using ctrl+printscrn
[10:20] <+rickf> i use cmd-shift-3 on the mac
[10:21] <@NihabaAshi_away> I'll also allow members to link to locations where they already post their statements for those that don't want to create "double duty" sort'uv speak.
[10:21] <@NihabaAshi_away> bazooka85...correct.
[10:21] <@NihabaAshi_away> That's the fastest easiest way to do it.
[10:21] <@NihabaAshi_away> Most of the Dachart users do such.
[10:21] <+Nesi> 0,3 Long ES @ 870.00 4,0 «« Scalp »» 
[10:21] <+silo> best to just create a blog and we can all just paste the link to the site in one thread
[10:22] <+silo> so peopel can just update their blog each day, and people can just check those links
[10:22] <@NihabaAshi_away> A few in here do have blogs.
[10:22] <+rickf> i toyed with the idea
[10:22] <+rickf> but never got around to doing it :(
[10:22] <@NihabaAshi_away> Not sure if they would want others to post statements at their blogs.
[10:23] <+silo> no no no
[10:23] <+silo> each person create a blog of their own
[10:23] <+silo> and just update their pnl each day
[10:23] <+silo> it's like a record for themselves
[10:23] <+silo> you can write commentaries
[10:23] <+silo> etc
[10:23] <+silo> what you did right or wrong
[10:23] <+silo> i'm just saying that if everyone has a blog like that
[10:23] <+silo> they can just post the link
[10:23] <+silo> that way we havea list of blogs
[10:23] <@NihabaAshi_away> silo...like a said...some already doing such.
[10:24] <+silo> yes i know
[10:24] <+silo> i am too
[10:24] <+silo> just a suggestion
[10:24] <+silo> so this way people only have to post a link
[10:24] <+silo> instead of posting pictures every single day
[10:24] <@NihabaAshi_away> Yeah...if you want to link to your blog that has your statements...
[10:24] <@NihabaAshi_away> That's cool too.
[10:24] <@NihabaAshi_away> Two have already said they prefer to do such...that's ok by me.
[10:26] <@NihabaAshi_away> I already know 12 guys that have left #FuturesTrades within the past few months after hearing a "rumor" that I was going to do the statement requirement for registration.
[10:26] <+pat255> N pl allow 1 mo to get this setup ..if possible
[10:26] <+Nesi> i think is a good idea...Niha
[10:26] <@NihabaAshi_away> What's odd is that they all are known for already spending lots of time online posting charts almost every day.
[10:26] <@NihabaAshi_away> :)
[10:27] <@NihabaAshi_away> 1 month ???
[10:27] <+pat255> to allow to post the statemrnts if cant figure how to..
[10:28] <@NihabaAshi_away> It's already setup...I just haven't open the new location due to doing a few final touches such as copying my registration info from one location to the new location and changing the links at the main website.
[10:28] <+pat255> but think with progs as u suggested should be able
[10:28] <@NihabaAshi_away> pat...anybody that has posted a chart, uploaded it to any where online...
[10:29] <@NihabaAshi_away> Just pretend your statement is a chart...exact same process.
[10:29] <+pat255> k..np will try
[10:30] <@NihabaAshi_away> You can keep using Dacharts if you want for linking too...
[10:30] * +Tintin 4,5----[0,5 shorts 0,5 eur 15,5@0,5 1.3654 avg in 4,5]----
[10:30] <@NihabaAshi_away> Just be aware of what happen to me many years ago when they told me that Dacharts is only for charts...not for broker statements.

[10:47] <+pat255> L side very iffy
[10:48] <+bazooka85> szu i've seen you trade before
[10:48] <+bazooka85> do you find yourself chasing a lot?
[10:48] <+szubaark> yes sometimes
[10:49] <+bazooka85> i do it too
[10:49] <+bazooka85> i've put up a new rule to my methodology
[10:49] <+bazooka85> maybe u can use it too
[10:49] <+bazooka85> no shorting unless the previous tick was up and vice versa
[10:49] <+szubaark> sure
[10:49] <+bazooka85> like the previous uptick rule we had that was removed
[10:50] <+bazooka85> i chase and then get stopped out a lot
[10:50] <+bazooka85> ur doing just great with your short though :)
[10:51] <+szubaark> its a tradeoff between trying to get good entry and jumping gun OR waiting for Conformation
[10:52] <+bazooka85> number one with a good range is best IMO
[10:53] <+bazooka85> eliminates any time of interference
[10:53] <+bazooka85> as well as any emotion while entering a trade

[10:55] <+szubaark> yea FOMC tomorrow
[10:55] <+rickf> i am not planning to trade on friday - quadwitch
[10:56] <+rickf> and speaking of not trading - slow tape means no trading for me, which means i'm off to the gym. back in a bit
[10:58] <+pat255> slow tape is dangerous

[14:37] <+rickf> especially since my instinct would have cost me on that last trade had i gone in
[14:38] <+rickf> might see a tiny bounce before 3 but suspect it won't hold
[14:39] <+bazooka85> do the uptick
[14:39] <+bazooka85> and downtick rule
[14:39] <+rickf> ?
[14:39] <+bazooka85> no shorting unless previous tick was a uptick

[14:39] <+rickf> yep
[14:40] <+bazooka85> call yourself an idiot for taking instinctive trades

[14:48] <+bazooka85> dang it!
[14:48] <+pat255> should have done what N did with new DOM ...got killed using new DOM
[14:49] <+pat255> always practice with it ..
[14:49] <+rickf> whose dom ?
[14:49] <+pat255> Bracket Trader
[14:49] <+rickf> er what platform
[14:49] <+pat255> with IB
[14:49] <+rickf> oh
[14:50] <+bazooka85> man
[14:51] <+bazooka85> i wish kn call some trades
[14:51] <+bazooka85> and i follow like a sheep
[14:51] <+rickf> honestly - is better to do your own thing....otherwise how u going to learn?
[14:51] <+rickf> is very tempting, to be sure
[14:52] <+bazooka85> lol
[14:52] <+rickf> tho --
[14:52] <+bazooka85> because its 100% accurate!
[14:52] <+rickf> if i am in a trade and some folks whom i respect enter opposite me, it does strike a nerve and i get a bit more vigilant
[14:52] <+rickf> ie, "what do they see that i dont"
[14:52] <+bazooka85> lol
[14:52] <+bazooka85> same
[14:52] <+rickf> THAT has helped me out tobe more market-savvy
[14:54] <+szubaark> these tight channels are so hard to trade..they're so frikin tight!!
[14:55] <+bazooka85> 2 things u can do
[14:55] <+bazooka85> tighten your target/sl
[14:55] <+rickf> lower highs lower lows since 2PM
[14:55] <+bazooka85> or widen
[14:55] <+silo> or be more selective
[14:55] <+silo> but you kept trading
[14:55] <+rickf> tells me trend is down but the pa is not condusive to my style of trading so i stay out
[14:55] <+silo> and then at the end says market is choppy
[14:55] <+silo> you shouldn't say that
