Note: The chat log below represents the free chat room called #FuturesTrades . Also, any trader can use the chat room to post their trades. 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 methods and different perspective of the markets.

Also, our primary job in the free chat room is to moderate the room (keep the peace) because with so many members using different 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 advertisments for guest visitors. More information about #FuturesTrades @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/FuturesTradesChatRoom.htm

Further, 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 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.

By the way, 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.

[12:59] <+Forex2stay> does anyone in here trade "Live" with NinjaTrader?
[13:00] <+codehead> oil trying
[13:01] <+codehead> 1014.50 is .382 btw, which is why it's being protected by bulls today
[13:02] <+jbuch> Exited all ES Long @ 1014.75 --> - 0.5
[13:03] <+jbuch> Long ES @ 1015.25

[13:19] <+jbuch> it is at the down trendline of this wedge
[13:21] <+jbuch> Exited 1/2 ES Long @ 1016 --> + 0.75
[13:22] <+JimL14> fwiw, TF broke its LOD, but now stalled with other eminis lack of movement, oil & gold trying up again, overall seems t/b lack of volume/interest & lower correlation in futures movements across derivatives
[13:24] <+jbuch> Exited Remainder ES Long @ 1015.25 --> 0
[13:25] <+JimL14> my sense is that bots are mostly trading today, becasue even microtrends are generally staying in LR channels set @ 3 SD, until new trend channel is estalished
[13:27] <+rickf> could be ... also last week before back-to-school, so folks getting final summer vay-cays in this week
[13:28] <+rickf> of course the SD will look different based on your timeframe, too
[13:32] <+jbuch> above avg vol at the open anemic since then.
[13:33] <+jbuch> Long ES @ 1015.5
[13:34] <+jbuch> and there I go jumping right in the middle of it
[13:35] <+jbuch> back at the down trendline
[13:35] <+JimL14> well as long as something changes, the microtrends look good for at least several ticks
[13:35] <+rickf> are you a tick-scalper jim?
[13:35] <+JimL14> doesn't change
[13:36] <+codehead> exit ES +1.50 <paper>
[13:37] <+jbuch> Exited 1/2 ES Long @ 1016.25 --> + 0.75
[13:38] <+JimL28> Exited all TF Long @ 569.2 --> - 0.8
[13:38] <+jbuch> poking above the down tl
[13:40] <+JimL14> yes, rickf i monitor & follow trends, via range charts (TF=5 ticks, ES = 3 ticks, etc.) while looking for S&R for entries/exits with TICK exhaustion/divergence
[13:41] <+rickf> cool
[13:41] <+JimL28> Shorts TF @ 596.4
[13:41] <+JimL28> 2
[13:41] <+jbuch> Exited Remainder ES Long @ 1015.75 --> + 0.25
[13:41] <+jbuch> worthless day
[13:41] <+JimL28> exit stop set TF @ 569.3
[13:42] <+jbuch> should go fishing or something
[13:42] <+JimL28> Covered 1/2 TF Short @ 568.7 --> + 27.7
[13:42] <+rickf> if this continues i may take the rest of the week off --- i have 3 more chapters to edit
[13:43] <+rickf> wait till the pros come back next week :)
[13:44] <+JimL14> whoops like correct that transposition on the exits
[13:44] <+JimL28> Covered 1/2 TF Short @ 595.7 --> + 0.7
[13:45] <@wrbtrader> rickf...Thursday and Friday is setting up to be volatile trading days.
[13:45] <+JimL28> exit stop raised TF @ 596.4
[13:46] <+rickf> true ... especially in the summertime
[13:46] <+JimL28> Trailing Stop Hit TF @ 596.4 --> 0
[13:47] <+rickf> tho it is hard to concentrate on the market AND do redline edits :)
[13:47] <@wrbtrader> Also take note that September is usually a "poor performing" month for the market and for traders...
[13:47] <@wrbtrader> Yet, that's usually due to the fact it's a month where there's a key change in supply/demand that catches most traders off guard.
[13:47] <+codehead> the wrost, yeah
[13:48] <+rickf> for stock traders, i agree
[13:48] <+codehead> worst
[13:48] <+rickf> futs we can prolly catch some action though
[13:48] <@wrbtrader> Simply, traders usually fail to adapt in September.
[13:49] <+rickf> or fail to ever adapt
[13:49] <@wrbtrader> I've seen most online trade journals at different forum blow up or the thread poster dissapear before September completes :(
[13:54] <+jbuch> Long ES @ 1015.75
[13:55] <+jbuch> was in a short covered plus .25

[14:07] <+JimL14> yes TY, bonds prices been moving up all day, but the eminis stopped going down so a bit of a standoff right now
[14:08] <+jbuch> I wonder if there is a lil bit of a decoupling between the bond and equity market.
[14:08] <+jbuch> due to the buy back program that is about to end
[14:09] <+JimL28> Long TF @ 568.8

[16:05] <@wrbtrader> They did an excellent job today in keeping things quiet today which implies most of their trades occurred way prior to today.

[16:07] <@wrbtrader> :(
[16:08] <@wrbtrader> Today was the first trading day I used the same position size for EVERY trade (no position size management).

[16:19] <@wrbtrader> Reminder: Thursday and Friday will be hot trading days if the market keeps hyping the key economic events on those trading days. In contrast, I'm expecting one more low volatility trading range day for either Tuesday or Wednesday.
[16:20] <winmax60> Thanks... wrbtrader.
