#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

[09:33:53] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 777.80 --> - 0.4
[09:34:21] <@wrbtrader> It converted into a Creeper Up Movement
[09:34:25] <@wrbtrader> had to let it go
[09:36:12] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 778.60 -> large size

[09:43:34] <@wrbtrader> 4+2
[09:44:53] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 776.80 --> + 0.1
[09:45:17] <@wrbtrader> suddenly turned into yesterday's morning price action via that "strange chop"
[09:45:37] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 776.80 -> large size
[09:45:46] <+Trendtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 776.4 «« simulator »»
[09:45:55] <@wrbtrader> I strongly doubt it's just a coincidence
[09:46:07] <@wrbtrader> 3+3
[09:47:19] <@wrbtrader> Reminds me of that same price action we saw that started at the beginning of the new year and last for an entire month
[09:48:18] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 776.50 --> + 0.3
[09:48:22] <@wrbtrader> :(

[09:51:54] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 777.90 -> large size
[09:52:29] <@wrbtrader> 6 contracts
[09:52:31] <@wrbtrader> intuition
[09:53:34] <@wrbtrader> with the chop...not a safe trade until 1 point in the favor
[09:54:12] <@wrbtrader> Thus, will try managing my stops tighter until a trade is 1 point in the green
[09:55:06] <@wrbtrader> trailing @ profit
[09:57:54] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 778.30 --> + 0.4

[10:00:31] <@wrbtrader> hate the chop
[10:01:16] <@wrbtrader> key market event price reaction
[10:01:33] <@wrbtrader> was hoping to be able to survive the initial reaction in that trade

[10:05:00] <@wrbtrader> re-entry
[10:08:19] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 780.00 --> + 1.4
[10:09:21] <@wrbtrader> Today's and Yesterday's volatility chop is a good example that exposes the flaws of "only" learning via hindsight charts.
[10:09:54] <@wrbtrader> You don't see the chop in hindsight charts...you only see it in real trading conditions when it shows up.
[10:11:16] <winmax60> right...thanks...when it shows up, very hard to handle... no matter what... :-(
[10:11:42] <+winmax60> wrbtrader..thanks

[11:01:23] <Fleneer> market sideways here on the NQ

[11:21:52] * Looking up lucas user info...
[11:26:23] <@wrbtrader> Creeper Down Movement still active
[11:26:42] * Looking up lucas user info...
[11:28:11] <@wrbtrader> If the Emini Futures (ES) and Eurex Futures (e.g. DAX) are going to push lower...
[11:28:33] <@wrbtrader> They need to drop below the S area of the WRB Hidden GAP @ 1112am - 1114am est
[11:29:22] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 777.00 -> small size
[11:29:30] <@wrbtrader> 3 contracts
[11:30:14] <+Fleneer> NQ just had a ttextbook Fib trade. down move 2607.75 to 2591.00 the 0.382 bounce is 2597.00 market bounced to that and rolled over.
[11:32:46] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 777.80 --> - 0.8
[11:33:11] <@wrbtrader> testing the R area of that same WRB Hidden GAP
[11:33:21] <+Fleneer> 0.500 = 2599.00 0.618 = 2601.00 look for failure bars there to short
[11:33:49] <@wrbtrader> still a 1.2 point range in the Emini TF since that WRB Hidden GAP
[11:39:33] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 780.50 -> large size
[11:40:18] <@wrbtrader> higher time frame chart = tougher trade than normal after trading via the smaller time frame chart
[11:41:24] <+winmax60> means you move up to higher time frame chart? ie, 5M ???
[11:41:35] <@wrbtrader> 15
[11:41:50] <+winmax60> thanks. :-))
[11:42:17] <@wrbtrader> interval still developing on the 15min chart
[11:42:50] <@wrbtrader> Thus, I'm not expecting this interval to retrace and put in a long upper shadow
[11:43:07] <@wrbtrader> I'm expecting it to close near the highs of the interval...
[11:43:14] <@wrbtrader> struggling now to do such :(
[11:44:09] <+winmax60> getting close to the top of the range... :(
[11:46:36] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 780.60 --> + 0.1
[11:46:47] <@wrbtrader> It tried but not good enough
[11:47:05] <@wrbtrader> Creeper Up Movement still active on the smaller time frame
[11:47:32] <@wrbtrader> trying to get a better entry price than my prior trade
[11:47:46] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 821.20 -> large size
[11:48:01] <@wrbtrader> didn't let it
[11:48:08] <@wrbtrader> Creeper Up Movement still active
[11:48:13] <+T4n> i've been struggling for better entries all morning, only leading to misses
[11:48:31] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...that's the chop doing that
[11:48:43] <@wrbtrader> I've been chasing price action all day because of the chop :(
[11:49:15] <@wrbtrader> I think I'm averaging about 4 ticks away from my trade signal prices
[11:49:23] <@wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[11:49:35] <@wrbtrader> Big WRB and another volatility spike
[11:50:01] <@wrbtrader> correction
[11:50:11] <+Fleneer> I try to not chase. more likely to make a quick countertrend scalp on a move.
[11:50:23] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 781.20 -> large size
[11:50:34] <@wrbtrader> not 821.20
[11:51:42] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 782.20 --> + 1
[11:51:53] <@wrbtrader> 3 then 3 again
[11:53:07] <@wrbtrader> Creeper Up Movement but the retracement now must stop and go back up to reset the Creeper Up Movement...
[11:53:17] <@wrbtrader> if not...should see lots of volatility contraction
[12:00:36] <@wrbtrader> back above the close of the WRB Hidden GAP @ 1148am est on volatility contraction
[12:02:04] <+T4n> just in time for 1200
[12:05:02] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 782.90 -> medium size
[12:05:13] <@wrbtrader> early entry
[12:05:34] <@wrbtrader> 2+2
[12:06:25] <@wrbtrader> Creeper Up Movement still active but now the mid-day trading session has started (volatility crap)
[12:06:26] <@wrbtrader> :(

[14:32:15] <+T4n> already chewed me up
[14:34:05] <@wrbtrader> That WRB Hidden GAP you mentioned became a WRB Zone within the notorious mid-day trading session...
[14:34:32] <@wrbtrader> Even worst...price action went into a low volatility tight trading range WITHIN the range of that WRB Hidden GAP
[14:34:44] <+T4n> yes it did
[14:34:51] <@wrbtrader> T4n...you did battle with a BEAST
[14:35:21] <+T4n> and I dont want to lose any more to it

[14:56:21] <@wrbtrader> being careful because I'm entering next to two intervals that have LONG LOWER SHADOWS
[14:56:32] <@wrbtrader> that's why I lowered my position size
[14:57:01] <+T4n> looks tough
[14:57:33] <@wrbtrader> yeah...its trying hard to climb DOWN the range of those prior long lower shadows
[14:58:13] <@wrbtrader> Covered Emini TF Short @ 778.70 --> + 0.1

[15:02:50] <+T4n> i wish i had something more concrete to base that off of, but I joined the vol expansion down
[15:05:29] <@wrbtrader> last several trading days it has been RANGE trading during the regular session
[15:06:12] <@wrbtrader> If it wasn't for the overnight price action that caused several days to GAP big...price action would have been in the same price area as a few days ago

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

#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.

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.
