#FuturesTrades is
free along with being a serious professional trading chat room and 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 methods and different perspective of the markets as long as they do not violate our

[09:38] <+pat255> y very true
[09:38] <+drt> cs es 70.25
[09:38] <+pat255> kids dont worry about it but we need to be careful
[09:39] <+rickf> that front moving thru the midwest late last week caught lots of folks off guard - was in milwaukee and nobody had heavy coats
[09:39] <+rickf> lots of sick ppl at the con, thankfully no h1n1
[09:41] <+jbuch> I have read that H1N1 is very mild and most people don't even know that they have it as opposed to just a regular cold
[09:42] <@wrbtrader> This long holiday weekend I got a ton of rest...back to my routine of 8 hour
at night instead of the 2-3 hr
I've been having for the prior 8 days after my own illness.
[09:45] <@wrbtrader> Some news for you Forex guys in here via the "Pound hit by falling UK Inflation" @

[09:52] <@wrbtrader> Yes...I'm the only one in here that has that special script.
[09:52] <@wrbtrader> You can do it manually on your own via posting your tradings to multiple room manually without the script via the /amsg command line
[09:53] <@wrbtrader> Just type /amsg "your trade" and it will send the trade to all the rooms your logged in.
[09:53] <+Nesi> hi all
[09:53] <@wrbtrader> In contrast, my special script I can tell it which rooms to send the trade to and which rooms not to send the trade too.

#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 methods and different perspective of the markets. To gain access to #FuturesTrades...please follow the instructions at the below link.
http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum/viewforum.php?f=5The 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.
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 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 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 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.
Last of all, prior to December 1st 2008, archive logs of #FuturesTrades is stored at the below link.
