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. ------------------------

[09:23] <jbuch> The U.S. is auctioning $109 billion in notes over three days starting today, matching a record.
[09:26] <+jbuch> I always forget about auctions but the results have been moving the market.
[09:26] <JimL14> Which is probably behind the timing of the Obama renomination for Bernanke (help calm & build confindence for Treas auction) & the bonds market
[09:29] <drt>

[11:19] <+JimL14> i guess now we have to wait for something to move the equities or the results of the treas auction after 1ish
[11:21] <+JimL14> today's intraday pattern is a H&S, yesterday & today maybe left shldr & head of a bigger H&S
[11:22] <+jbuch> Long ES @ 1031.75
[11:25] <+jbuch> Exited all ES Long @ 1031.25 --> - 0.5
[11:25] <+JimL14> JB, u look @ relative volumes; is the 10 am volume spike notatbly large
[11:25] <+jbuch> huge
[11:26] <+jbuch> and so wasn't the vol spike in the drop
[11:27] <+JimL14> so i was thinking, exhaustion/blowoff potential vis-a-vis a longer term pattern analysis
[11:27] <+JimL14> specially in H&S setups
[11:27] <+jbuch> Long ES @ 1031.75

[11:35] <+codehead> yesterday ES 1 tick from hod :-/
[11:35] <+JimL14> coming into right shldr potential area/range
[11:36] <+JimL14> directional its pushing up, i just can't get a good entry into r/r for TF
[11:37] <+JimL14> i have not been at all successful in the high value/brkout trades
[11:38] <+JimL14> much better @ retrcmnts w/divergence triggers
[11:38] <werner> hi all
[11:39] <+jbuch> hey werner
[11:39] <+jbuch> just saw ur post codehead

[11:46] <+JimL14> weak is right, tried to leave it on, left 7 ticks at the top
[11:46] <rickf>
all
[11:48] <+jbuch> codehead I think that what is happening to you is most peoples (including myself) biggest problem.
[11:49] <+jbuch> hey rick
[11:49] <+rickf> hi jb
[11:50] <+codehead> lack of patience... also too much input... it heard (irc to speech synth) my mentor call out higher targets on NQ while it was retesting hod, i immediately too a point without thinking
[11:50] <+werner> hi rickf
[11:50] <+rickf> hey werner
[11:51] <+codehead> "took"--boy, it really messes me up that this computer has a keyboard with stiff action while my main computer has a feather touch--also dropping characters here
[11:51] <+jbuch> it is funny how we just shut down and get tunnel vision
[11:51] <+rickf> so my SPX option IC from last month was a losing trade - partly because the SPX went parabolic right after I put the trade on .... good news it was only a partial (50%) loss since I managed it fairly well.
[11:52] * +rickf kept rolling the bottom "wing" up and up and up
[11:52] <+codehead> my patience very good on stocks, very bad on futures
[11:53] <+JimL28> Shorts TF @ 584.6 «« simulator »»
[11:53] <+JimL28> 1
[11:53] <+jbuch> a gazzilion things have been written about it
[11:53] <+jbuch> but I think that u have to find your own way
[11:53] <+codehead> yeah
[11:54] <+jbuch> but without you cannot win at this game
[11:54] <+jbuch> all of the technical analysis in the world wont help
[11:55] <+codehead> one big problems is i've gone back to trading 1c after a couple of mishaps
[11:55] <+jbuch> seems like such a damn eay thing to do
[11:55] <+JimL28> Covered all TF Short @ 584.4 --> + 0.2 «« simulator »»
[11:55] <+codehead> and that affects decisions
[11:56] <+jbuch> I will break the habit and have a couple of slighty pos trades turn into losers and the battle starts all over
[11:56] <+JimL14> there's alot of relative (to other peaks today) volume get piled in here w/o $ movement
[11:58] <+jbuch> and there is no easy answer because there are times when u sure as shit should get out slightly positive or neg
[11:58] <+JimL14> its looking like breakout or forming rt shldr
[11:58] <+codehead> i'm reading Trading for a Living now, btw
[11:59] <+jbuch> but it is hard to stay clear enough to reason thatout when in a trade
[11:59] <+codehead> i never could make it through Trading in the Zone
[11:59] <+jbuch> I have read trading in the zone
[12:00] <+codehead> good info, i just couldn't make it through his wordiness
[12:00] <+jbuch> liked it but hard to get through
[12:00] <+jbuch> to much positive thinking stuff
[12:00] <+codehead> hm, just noticed the webinar on market profile today, form steenarger's site
[12:00] <+jbuch> which really if there is aproffession to which that may apply this is it
[12:01] <+jbuch> I thought it was next week
[12:02] <+JimL28> Shorts TF @ 584.8 «« simulator »»
[12:02] <+jbuch> cool thanks wanted to listen to that
[12:02] <+JimL28> 1
[12:04] <+codehead> yeah, the one today is from someone else, but mentioned on his site today
[12:05] <+jbuch> right on he has one next week as well
[12:05] <+jbuch> that is going to be about trading psych
[12:06] <+JimL14> big volume blcoks continue to exchange in several tick range
[12:07] <+JimL28> Covered all TF Short @ 584.7 --> + 0.1 «« simulator »»
[12:07] <+codehead> cci toying with dip...
[12:07] <+jbuch> man u have got to have your game on in the am or ur screwed.
[12:15] <+JimL14> tf & nq nudge above last swing hi
[12:16] <+werner> djeez... still holiday in the us or someting
[12:16] <+rickf> august vacation before back to school
[12:16] <+JimL14> reportedly 'B' teams on all big trading desks
[12:17] <+werner> ok thnx rickf
[12:17] <+rickf> yup
[12:17] <+JimL14> huge cash reserves sitting on sidelines & waiting until after Labor day holiday week
[12:18] <+JimL14> my plan; scalp for ticks & short trots
[12:22] <+JimL14> in reading many blogs, articles, etc., it seems treas auction bringing in foreign reserves to US gvmt, Fed repurchses are funneling cast to big players that are releveraging to pile in for directional move in fall/winter
[12:22] <+JimL14> cast = cash
[12:23] <+jbuch> Long ES @ 1033.25
[12:25] <+JimL14> those fall/winter moves will regenerate wall street eps to refloat the trading institutions/banks
[12:27] <+jbuch> Exited all ES Long @ 1034.5 --> + 1.25
[12:27] <+JimL14> so even with the HFT, dark pools, & algo trading, if the market runs in any direction, hopefully it will yield enough indicators that we can trail behind for quality ticks
[12:27] <+werner> nice
[12:28] <+codehead> short ES 1034.50 <paper> 3 tick stop
[12:29] <+jbuch> should have move my stop up to 33.75
[12:30] <+codehead> stopped ES -.75 <paper>
[12:30] <+werner> what did you see on that entry jbuch?
[12:30] <+codehead> getting sustained high tick here
[12:30] <+JimL14> buying that started @ 10:50 is all 1 way/@ ask
[12:31] <+JimL14> not all, but primarily
[12:35] <+JimL28> Long TF @ 586.3 «« simulator »»
[12:35] <+JimL28> 1
[12:36] <+jbuch> werner had been looking for a break up tried to catch it at 32.75 then 33 just took the ask at 33.25.
[12:36] <+werner> ok
[12:37] <+werner> nice timing
[12:38] <+jbuch> the reason that I thought it would break up is that it was an ascending wedge which had been preceded by an up leg
[12:39] <+JimL28> Exited all TF Long @ 586.5 --> + 0.2 «« simulator »»
[12:40] <+luffy1> todya's soo slow...

[12:44] <+jbuch> Shorts ES @ 1034
[12:44] <+codehead> oil dipping here
[12:45] <+jbuch> this seems iffy
[12:46] <+JimL14> missed, too greedy looking for it higher & more - divergence, we'll see JB I think you're right for at least a big dipo
[12:47] <+jbuch> should sen if 34 would break

[12:51] <+rickf> oops reverse now short 1033.50 paper
[12:52] <+JimL14> oil is trading like a derivative vs a coomodity, supply/inventory far exceeds the monthly demand
[12:54] <+jbuch> if is going to hold should do it here i
[12:55] <+codehead> oil quite a dump, still going
[12:55] <+codehead> should shorted ES right when i saw

??
[13:00] <+jbuch> Covered all ES Short @ 1031.5 --> + 0.25
[13:02] <+jbuch> that was confusing
[13:02] <+JimL14> i see if Steenbarger can shed any light on this market dynamic
[13:02] <+jbuch> the vol came in after the high

Moreover, the figures show the public debt doubling by 2019 and reaching three-quarters the size of the entire national economy.
