#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

[16:08:27] <+StormwolfT> tough day
[16:14:22] <@wrbtrader> It's a range day...profitable but the same old stuff for 2012 so far.
[16:14:58] <+T4n_paper> take care all
[16:15:50] <@wrbtrader> Only thing disappointing about this week of trading...
[16:16:39] <@wrbtrader> We had that BIG trend day on Tuesday and couldn't really get above it for the remainder of the week.
[16:17:04] <@wrbtrader> Today was the as close as it could get but it today turned into a range day...
[16:17:53] <@wrbtrader> Today's price action was stuck in the upper quarter price action of that big trend day on Tuesday
[16:21:00] <+markg> so far 2012 is ok but little too slow
[16:21:42] <+markg> this is why i look at fx lots of potential there on pairs wich are not related to USD
[16:22:28] <@wrbtrader> 2012 is not expected to pick up volatility until the U.S. presidential elections
[16:23:02] <@X> #FuturesTrades Info -> Chat room for traders of Emini Futures (EMD, TF, ES, NQ, YM), EuroFX Futures (6E, EC), Eurex/Euronext Futures (DAX, ESTX50, FTSE100, CAC40), Treasury Futures (ZF, ZN, ZB), NYMEX Futures (CL, NG, HO, QM), Exchange Traded Funds (DIA, GLD, IWM, OIH, XLE, QQQ, SPY) and Forex Currencies
[16:23:06] <+markg> well US have muslim as president now i wonder what will be next
[16:23:28] <@wrbtrader> That's too long of a wait for most folks that are not patient...
[16:23:56] <+markg> well range days are good trading as well
[16:24:08] <+markg> i preffer that versus crazy moves up like we have
[16:24:15] <@wrbtrader> Only thing I can see changing the volatility will be another economic crisis in Europe or something explosive happening in the middle east
[16:24:59] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...I expect low volatility today...reason why I lowered my overall position size.
[16:26:40] <+markg> oh well
[16:26:43] <+markg> we shall see
[16:26:49] <+markg> i am ok to make little money
[16:26:56] <+markg> but not lose large money
[16:39:04] <@wrbtrader> That's the goal, protect profits on crappy trading days via being LESS aggressive in the trades and position size...
[16:39:32] <@wrbtrader> Than when volatility shows up...become very aggressive and increase the position size
[17:32:35] <@wrbtrader> Take care, have a safe/good weekend and see all on Monday
Session Close: Fri Mar 16 17:32:47 2012

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

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

Image S&P CNX NIFTY Futures

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.
