#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.
This is not a signal calling chat room nor is the chat room designed to be educational. #FuturesTrades is 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. Yet, you will see members providing useful
trading tips that may or may not help with your trading.
Therefore, we welcome all traders with their own methods or different perspective of the markets as long as they do not violate our
Terms of Use (TOU) Policy.
Thanks for reading the trades or market commentaries that's below and it's highly recommend you make reading of the logs a part of your trading routine because you will sometimes find useful
trading tips not discussed anywhere else online nor in any books.

[14:47] <+jbuch> very impressive
[14:47] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...usually I won't catch a runner like that unless it's in the morning session.
[14:48] <@wrbtrader> In contrast, usually spend the p.m. trading session
for ticks
[14:49] <+jbuch> yeahwhich u easily could of in thatrange u were in
[14:49] <+jbuch> good conviction
[14:52] <+jbuch> Shorts ES @ 1116.75
[14:53] <screenstruck> was a good day today
[14:53] <+screenstruck> had closed the platform in first half... came back for seconds from work !!
[14:53] <+screenstruck> will repost blotter in forum
[14:54] <@wrbtrader> Like I said yesterday after a tough trading day...it starts to get easy on Wednesday
[14:54] <@wrbtrader> thanks screenstruck
[14:54] <+screenstruck> i am finding posting blotter helps my focus too
[14:54] <+jbuch> Covered all ES Short @ 1117.25 --> - 0.5
[14:54] <+screenstruck> ahem.... (hint) to the others
[14:55] <+jbuch> yeah great swings bummed I missed most of it
[14:56] <@wrbtrader> That's one of those things many traders (most traders) underestimate their importance...trade journal and/or blotter because broker statements being viewed on the computer is "not enough" feedback to help adapt when markets adapt.
[14:56] <@wrbtrader> Markets are always changing.
[14:57] <@wrbtrader> I always read the archived chat logs of my commentary and line them up with my statement trades.
[14:57] <@wrbtrader> I want to see my "thoughts and perceptions" as I traverse from one trade to the next trade.
[14:57] <@wrbtrader> It's an eye opener.
[14:59] <+jbuch> screen struck what r u posting
[14:59] <+jbuch> ur trades or a trade journal
[14:59] <@wrbtrader> It's the only way to speed up or gain market experience faster than trading itself all by itself.
[15:01] <+screenstruck> just the end of day blotter
[15:01] <+screenstruck> or wrb will kick me out
[15:01] <+jbuch> Shorts ES @ 1117
[15:02] <@wrbtrader> You only need to post one but I recommend post as often as you want.
[15:02] <+screenstruck>
[15:02] <@wrbtrader> A few in here post daily statements but within their own private thread.
[15:02] <+screenstruck> ah
[15:02] <+screenstruck> i could do that too
[15:03] <@wrbtrader> Thus, the forums look inactive on the surface but are "very active" in the private areas.
[15:03] <@wrbtrader> yeah...you have a private thread setup already.

[15:11] <@wrbtrader> Simple trading tip to test for those into basic Japanese Candlestick patterns...compare the results of single patterns versus double (dual) pattern signals.
[15:11] <@wrbtrader> You'll see that the reliability increases for the dual pattern signals.
[15:12] <+jbuch> sofor example 2 5 hammers
[15:12] <+jbuch> 5minute
[15:13] <+jbuch> sorry let me try that again 2- 5min hammers
[15:13] <@wrbtrader> I'll post a chart of the SPY in a few minutes because I was using the SPY heavily today to help with my Emini TF trades.
[15:13] <@wrbtrader> Here's what I meant by dual signals...
[15:14] <@wrbtrader> There's a conversation over at Traderslaboratory called "Tweezers & Shooting Stars" @
http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums ... -7459.html [15:14] <@wrbtrader> I know a few of those guys participating in that thread.
[15:15] <@wrbtrader> Specifically some are talking about Tweezer Tops or Bottoms.
[15:16] <@wrbtrader> Dual pattern involving Tweezers are when one of the intervals produces another signal like engulfing or harami while in Tweezer top or Tweezer bottom
[15:16] <@wrbtrader> I'll make the chart now...

[15:46] <@wrbtrader> SPY chart of Tweezer Tops in dual pattern position posted on twitter @
http://chart.ly/ek6sfv [15:47] <@wrbtrader> Chart shows how to use a trade signal to generate a key change in supply/demand area to help with trades and profit targets of other trade signals that occurs afterwards.
[15:47] <@wrbtrader> Simply, the highlighted grey/green areas all occurred AFTER a Tweezer Top candlestick pattern that was a dual trade signal
[15:48] <@wrbtrader> Those highlighted areas can be use to look for trade signals if/when price returns to that area or used as profit targets.
[15:50] <@wrbtrader> Those highlighted areas are all "volatility spikes".
[15:51] <@wrbtrader> A "confirmed" change in supply/demand.
[15:52] <@wrbtrader> I'm going to post the same chart over at Traderslaboratory but without the copyright logo stuff at the bottom right corner.

[16:05] <+werner> thnx for the chart wrbtrader
[16:07] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...someone asked me a question via email about an example of usefulness of volatility merged with Japanese Candlestick pattern analysis...
[16:07] <@wrbtrader> Figure I'll share my reply in here prior to sending him a reply via email.
[16:07] <@wrbtrader>
[16:09] <winmax60> wrbtrader...thanks for the chart...
[16:09] <+jbuch> thanks for the chart wrbtrader
[16:11] <@wrbtrader> Forgot to say something very important about that chart involving SPY and Emini ES...
[16:11] <@wrbtrader> If you're into Japanese Candlestick patterns while trading Emini ES...
[16:12] <@wrbtrader> You must also follow SPY because SPY has clearer patterns in comparison to Emini ES.
[16:12] <@wrbtrader> Therefore, its very common not to have a valid candlestick pattern in Emini ES while at the same time it's valid in SPY.
[16:12] <+winmax60> thanks for the tip... :-)
[16:13] <@wrbtrader> Simply, you get a trade signal in SPY...it's valid in Emini ES too.
[16:13] <@wrbtrader> Ok...take care all and see all tomorrow

[16:46] <@X> #FuturesTrades Purpose -> Members use this room to document (trade journal) their trades and thoughts from one trade to the next trade because it provides critical information they can't get from broker statements nor statistics.

http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum-------------------------
#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.

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

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.
Note: All logs regardless to their location at TheStrategyLab.com website are eastern standard time. Best Regards,
