#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 @

[11:09:36] <+Kauai35> this is my first day here. are questions asked here or is that reserved for the other room
[11:10:18] <@wrbtrader> Questions are asked here unless YOU"RE in the other room
[11:10:20] <@wrbtrader>
[11:11:25] <+Kauai35> do you look for gaps on multiple time frames? (maybe I haven't gotten that far in ch 1-3)
[11:12:53] <@wrbtrader> If you're asking do i use Multi time frames to decide on a specific trade...
[11:12:56] <@wrbtrader> No
[11:13:19] <@wrbtrader> If you're asking do I use multiple time frames to look for a trade...
[11:13:20] <@wrbtrader> Yes
[11:13:39] <@wrbtrader> I have on my charts 2min, 3min, 5min, 15min and 60min charts
[11:13:58] <@wrbtrader> 1min in high volatility or when I'm expecting high volatility
[11:14:14] <@wrbtrader> I don't care which specific time frame produces a trade signal
[11:14:29] <+Kauai35> thank you
[11:14:33] <@wrbtrader> Thus, I only need one time frame for a signal...not multiple time frames for one signal
[11:29:04] <@wrbtrader> extremely low volatility with tight trading range
[11:29:27] <@wrbtrader> = no trade opportunities
[11:29:54] <@wrbtrader> hopefully there's an unexpected "key market event" to shake things up

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
