#FuturesTrades is free along with being a serious professional trading chat room and any trader can use the chat room to post their real-time trades, real-time price action analysis or market 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, price action analysis 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, real-time price action analysis or market news. 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 only 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 price action and 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, price action analysis 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. To gain access to #FuturesTrades chat room...please follow the instructions @ FTCHAT Support Forum * http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum/viewforum.php?f=5

[11:52:21] <+markg557> i can hold for a weeks
[11:52:57] <@wrbtrader> So how do you go Long and Short in the same instrument...
[11:53:07] <@wrbtrader> You had a Long last week I think.
[11:53:17] <@wrbtrader> That's why I was asking.
[11:53:57] <@wrbtrader> Are the trades from last week completed which is why you did a Short today ?
[11:54:21] <+markg557> i was long last week
[11:54:24] <+markg557> if you remmber
[11:54:32] <+markg557> i held longs
[11:54:34] <@wrbtrader> that's what I just said :)
[11:54:42] <+markg557> cause i swing trades
[11:54:46] <+markg557> sorry
[11:55:01] <@wrbtrader> You were Long last week but now your Short...
[11:55:17] <@wrbtrader> I guess that means you closed your Long position
[11:55:17] <+markg557> correct
[11:55:46] <@wrbtrader> By the way, there's NO scalpers in here...
[11:55:51] <@wrbtrader> Most are just day traders
[11:56:09] <@wrbtrader> Only scalper we had stop coming in here a few months ago.
[11:56:21] <@wrbtrader> He complained there were'nt any scalpers :)
[11:57:38] <@wrbtrader> He's a heavy DOM (bid/ask screens( user like most scalpers
[11:57:44] <+markg557> so my tf long i held from 815
[11:57:55] <+markg557> and now i short
[11:58:05] <+markg557> i guess for another week
[11:58:11] <@wrbtrader> What's your target on the Short ?
[11:58:41] <+markg557> no targets
[11:58:58] <+markg557> alwys in the market
[11:59:04] <@wrbtrader> Didn't you tell me once you "look for 3 points" ?
[11:59:18] <@wrbtrader> but I think that was about Emini ES
[11:59:22] <+markg557> partial profits i do take
[11:59:29] <+markg557> on es only
[11:59:41] <+markg557> tf alwyas in the market
[11:59:46] <@wrbtrader> 3 point on Emini ES but no targets on Emini TF
[11:59:51] <@wrbtrader> Ok
[11:59:51] <+markg557> no
[12:00:15] <+markg557> tf is not es
[12:00:40] <@wrbtrader> 3 points on Emini ES but no targets on Emini TF
[12:01:20] <+markg557> i trade 400 lots on es
[12:01:25] <+markg557> and 50 lots on tf
[12:01:28] <+markg557> i hedge both
[12:01:31] <+markg557> so i dont lose too much
[12:01:39] <+markg557> i can hold tf longer
[12:01:44] <+markg557> even 30 points againts me
[12:02:55] <@wrbtrader> With 50 contracts via swing trading or position trade...have never met anyone that would look for day trading targets
[12:03:33] <@wrbtrader> Ok...just needed to understand your trade posts.
[12:03:59] <@wrbtrader> Thus, if you post Long and then a few days later you post a Short position in the "same trading instrument"...
[12:04:00] <+markg557> i swing heavy
[12:04:12] <+markg557> correct
[12:04:27] <@wrbtrader> I will assume your Short position also implies you've closed the Long position
[12:04:45] <+markg557> correct
[12:05:00] <@wrbtrader> even though several weeks has not gone by...just a few days
[12:05:18] <+markg557> just swing system
[12:05:27] <+markg557> 5 trades a month
[12:06:19] <+markg557> only down 3 points on tf
[12:06:30] <+markg557> but profit 15 before
[12:06:44] <+markg557> so win lose ratio is ok
[12:07:07] <@wrbtrader> Creeper Up Movement still active
[12:10:55] <@wrbtrader> Treasurys stay up after ISM, euro-zone data (MarketWatch) @ http://www.marketwatch.com/story/treasu ... atest_news

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

#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.
