#FuturesTrades is free along with being a serious professional trading chat room and any trader can use the chat room to post their trades or commentaries involving futures, exchange traded funds or forex currencies. Further, although our chat room is smaller than the other popular chat rooms...we are the most active chat room in posting trades or market commentaries involving futures, exchange traded funds or forex currencies in comparison to other free chat rooms.

Quote:
#FuturesTrades chat room is not a signal calling chat room even though some members post real-time trades or real-time price action analysis. Therefore, do not attempt to mimic the trades of other members. Also, if we suspect you've joined #FuturesTrades to try to use it as a signal calling chat room in an effort to piggy back (mimic) someone's trades, you will be banned...no exceptions.

#FuturesTrades is designed to be a trade journal for documentation purposes only so that members can have a real time stamp archive of trades and market commentaries of each trading day and this gives them a better understanding of their broker statements from one trade to the next trade when they review their performance numbers on any given trading day. In addition, we welcome all traders with their own methods or different perspective of the markets to help keep the chat room diversified...posting trades or market commentaries about the price action on their monitors.

With that said, thanks for reading the trades or market commentaries that's below and we highly recommend you make reading of the logs a part of your trading routine because you will sometimes find useful trade information not discussed anywhere else online nor in any books if you're not interested in scheduling one on one (private) real-time price action only trading education discussions. To gain access to #FuturesTrades chat room...please follow the instructions @ FTCHAT Support Forum * http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum/viewforum.php?f=5

[11:41:37] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 809.00 --> + 1.4
[11:54:30] <@wrbtrader> Emini ES futures has really tighten up
[11:54:35] <@wrbtrader> as usual
[11:55:01] <@wrbtrader> In contrast, other Eminis are at least "trying" to expand their volatility
[11:55:42] <@wrbtrader> Too many pros, algs and scalpers happy with a few ticks here in their when trading Emini ES
[11:56:18] <@wrbtrader> Simply, the Emini ES futurres is "too efficient".
[11:57:08] <@wrbtrader> Hard to make money as a retail trader when the "efficiency" is too high like it is in the Emini ES futures
[11:57:44] <@wrbtrader> Creeper Up Movement
[11:58:32] <StormwolfT> you mean its efficient right now, or always?
[11:58:40] <@wrbtrader> Most of the time
[11:59:10] <@wrbtrader> It's one of the most difficult trading instruments to be profitable for a retail trader.
[11:59:29] <@wrbtrader> Yet, it remains the most popular trading instrument amongst retail futures traders
[12:00:43] <@wrbtrader> Mainly due to "lower margin requirements" and HEAVILY advertised trading instrument by brokers, CME, blogs, forum discussions, data providers and so on in comparison to any other futures trading instrument.
[12:01:12] <@wrbtrader> Just as important, the S&P 500 Index is a major world benchmark index
[12:01:25] <+StormwolfT> if TF were to become like that, what would you trade?
[12:01:27] <@wrbtrader> Arguably the most important world benchmark index
[12:01:49] <@wrbtrader> Nope...I would drop Emini TF just like I did Emini ES
[12:02:13] <@wrbtrader> My goal is to be profitable...
[12:02:37] <@wrbtrader> Not to try to outsmart the pros, algs and hedge boys
[12:05:20] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 808.90 -> small size
[12:05:26] <@wrbtrader> 1 contract
[12:05:59] <@wrbtrader> last trade because I lost track of time...we're now in the mid-day trading session.
[12:06:05] <@wrbtrader> Time for a long lunch break
[12:08:45] <@wrbtrader> Someone once said that we all have our own internal clocks...
[12:09:11] <@wrbtrader> Whenever the dst time changes (e.g. one hour ahead in the spring)...
[12:09:22] <@wrbtrader> It takes our bodies a few days to adjust.
[12:09:50] <@wrbtrader> Exited Emini TF Long @ 809.10 --> + 0.2
[12:10:21] <@wrbtrader> Thus, right now its about 1208pm et but my body "feels" like its 1108pm est
[12:11:58] <@wrbtrader> be back later around 1:30pm est instead of between 2pm - 3pm est...
[12:12:14] <@wrbtrader> Today we have a 2pm est schedule key market event
[12:12:32] <@wrbtrader> I want to be here a little early just in case some volatility starts early

[17:18:42] <@wrbtrader> In the past year...we've had 59 new members register for access to #FuturesTrades but only 7 of them have logged in to #FuturesTrades.
[17:20:36] <@wrbtrader> I randomly ask some of the missing 52 registered users why they've never logged in just one time...they usually replied that they don't think they would have time to say one thing about the price action they're watching on their monitor that would be important to another member :(
[17:21:29] <@wrbtrader> Anyways...take care all and see all tomorrow.

-------------------------

#FuturesTrades is free and is a serious professional trading chat room in which any trader can use the chat room to post their trades or commentaries involving futures, exchange traded funds or forex currencies. Simply, you don't need to be a client of TheStrategyLab.com to use the chat room nor do you need to be a price action only trader (no indicators) because some members use indicators while others do not.

Therefore, we welcome all traders with their own trade signal methods, different perspective of the markets and different experience levels. To gain access to #FuturesTrades...please follow the instructions at the below link.

http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum/viewforum.php?f=5

The purpose of #FuturesTrades is that it's designed to be a trade journal for documentation purposes only so that members can have a time stamp archive of trades and market commentaries of each trading day so that they can better understand their broker statements from one trade to the next trade when they review their performance numbers on any given trading day.

Further, members are not obligated to educate nor help other members but members are encourage to ask questions about any trades or market commentaries that's posted by others because sometimes the answers contains useful trading tips.

In addition, our primary job in the free chat room is to moderate the room (keep the peace) because with so many members using different trade signal methods along with different opinions about the market...debates or arguments can easily flare up without moderating. In addition, our presence in the chat room is to ensure it's a spam free chat room during trading although these archived chat logs may contain advertisements for guest visitors.

Commonly discussed trading instruments from futures, exchange traded funds and forex currencies:

Image CME Emini Futures EMD, ES and NQ

Image ICE Emini TF Futures (formerly CME ER2)

Image CBOT mini-sized Dow Futures YM

Image Eurex Index Derivatives (futures) DAX and DJ Euro Stoxx50

Image Eurex Fixed Income Derivatives (futures) BUND, BOBL and Schatz

Image Euronext Futures FTSE-100 and CAC-40

Image CME Futures EuroFX 6E and EC

Image Treasury Futures T-Notes ZT, ZN, ZF and T-Bonds ZB

Image Forex Currencies GbpUsd, EurUsd, EurYen and UsdCad

Image COMEX Metal Futures Gold GC, mini-Gold YG, Copper HG and Silver SI

Image S&P CNX NIFTY Futures

Image Hang Seng Index Futures HSI and mini-Hang Seng MHI

Also, to prevent the usual mix-up about our different chat rooms, most of our fee-base clients do not use chat rooms just like most retail traders do not use chat rooms. Yet, the few clients that do use chat rooms, our fee-base clients are discussing market analysis or 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 #FuturesTrades.

Reminder, our Terms of Use (TOU) Policy is a must read to prevent any misunderstandings along with revealing that #FuturesTrades 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.

Note: All logs regardless to their location at TheStrategyLab.com website are eastern standard time.
