#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.

#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.

Quote:
Traders that use #FuturesTrades are required to discuss anything related to trading (e.g. price action analysis, market news or real-time trades) at least once per day they use our chat room. Yet, you're not required to post trades but if you do post trades...they must be clear (not ambiguous) entry price/exit price and position size. Those that consistently post ambiguous trades will be KICKED (removed) from the chat room.

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 log in to #FuturesTrades chat room...please follow the instructions @ FTCHAT Support Forum * http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum/viewforum.php?f=5

[11:55:32] <@wrbtrader> stop would have normally been @ 787.70 in that price action
[11:55:42] <@wrbtrader> but my entry was too tight too the stop
[11:56:07] <@wrbtrader> reason why I placed my stop a few ticks below 787.70

[13:20:15] <T4n_paper> Long TF @ 785.8 -> small size «« simulator »»

[13:24:19] <@wrbtrader> huge volatility spike
[13:24:46] <@wrbtrader> looks nice on the 3min chart
[13:25:26] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 789.00 -> small size
[13:25:34] <@wrbtrader> 3 contracts
[13:27:23] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 789.20 --> + 0.2
[13:28:18] <@wrbtrader> poor entry...gave it a chance and then decided I don't want to hang around in this one
[13:32:39] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 789.00 -> small size
[13:32:45] <@wrbtrader> 2 contracts
[13:33:05] <@wrbtrader> Emini YM and Emini ES are in a Creeper Up Movement
[13:33:17] <+T4n_paper> cant afford this trade
[13:33:17] <@wrbtrader> hopefully Emini TF futures will follow
[13:33:40] <@wrbtrader> T4n...why not ?
[13:33:45] <+T4n_paper> big stop
[13:34:21] <@wrbtrader> that's what trail stops are for...adjusting to better manage the trade
[13:35:00] <+T4n_paper> i know, i normally try, but my confidence is broken lately
[13:35:11] <+T4n_paper> i'll just skip it
[13:35:31] <@wrbtrader> I just went from an initial stop @ 786.90 (too big via the S area of the WRB HG) to a 789.20 as soon as it moved my way
[13:36:08] <@wrbtrader> had it not gone my way...initial stop would have been low of the volatility contraction @ 787.60
[13:36:31] <+T4n_paper> sounds good
[13:37:03] <@wrbtrader> If that was still "too big"...I would have just placed the initial stop at the low of the entry interval @ 786.60
[13:37:18] <@wrbtrader> meant 788.60
[13:38:48] <@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
[13:38:54] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 789.50 --> + 0.5
[13:39:01] <+T4n_paper> seems like you'd expect imediate results
[13:39:35] <@wrbtrader> I don't expect results
[13:39:48] <@wrbtrader> Instead, I expect to try to follow the trading plan as closely as possible
[13:39:58] <@wrbtrader> everything else will follow
[13:40:04] <@wrbtrader> including the results
[13:40:30] <@wrbtrader> Simply, I don't see a trade as profits.
[13:40:45] <+T4n_paper> well, seems my stop tightening has kept me in the hole
[13:40:52] <@wrbtrader> Instead, I compete with my ability to follow the trading plan as closely as possible
[13:41:29] <@wrbtrader> Well...if its something you notice being consistent...
[13:42:05] <@wrbtrader> You need to develop the ability to "re-enter" a trade that takes you out at a loss and then retraces back into the direction you wanted it to go
[13:42:26] <@wrbtrader> close to 1/2 my trades now are "re-entries"
[13:42:36] <+T4n_paper> yeah, i like the idea
[13:43:30] <@wrbtrader> Emini TF in Creeper Up Movement 2min chart
[13:43:41] <@wrbtrader> WRB Hidden GAP @ 1322pm est
[13:43:42] <+T4n_paper> I think i need to break the habbit of looking for a C2C1 reentry signal
[13:43:53] <+T4n_paper> and just enter at a better price
[13:44:07] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 789.90 -> small size
[13:44:27] <@wrbtrader> 3 contracts

[13:46:19] <@wrbtrader> now see a trade error
[13:46:33] <@wrbtrader> now looking for a Houdini Escape
[13:47:02] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 789.20 --> - 0.7
[13:48:13] <@wrbtrader> used the wrong WRB HG and that means my stop should have been @ 789.60
[13:48:33] <@wrbtrader> the error cost me an extra 4 tick loss
[13:49:50] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 789.70 -> small size

[14:49:44] <@wrbtrader> 3 contracts
[14:49:53] <@wrbtrader> re-entry
[14:50:06] <@wrbtrader> prior trade should have been a Short and I went Long :(
[14:50:33] <@wrbtrader> choppy
[14:50:58] <+T4n_paper> 1322 HG price container
[14:54:58] <@wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached (shallow due to the choppy tight intervals)
[14:55:01] <@wrbtrader> :(
[14:56:15] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 787.70 --> + 0.4
[14:56:38] <@wrbtrader> I hate those types of shake outs via chop
[14:57:49] <@wrbtrader> That prior losing Long (trade error) took away a great entry I wanted for a Short position :(

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

#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 @ 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:

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.
