#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.

[10:28] <Sidhartha> yeah i noticed
[10:29] <+Sidhartha> for a few ticks generally..
[10:29] <@wrbtrader>
[10:29] <+Sidhartha> i.e. you don't seem too bothered if you have a conflicting signal elsewhere..
[10:29] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...usually when I'm adding a new method the initial goal is just a few ticks but after entry it gets manage as if it's a normal trade.
[10:30] <@wrbtrader> Thus, the reward gets adjusted after entry
[10:31] <+Risk> Long GC @ 682.4 -> Add «« simulator »»

[10:42] <+Risk> Mark did u write the posting script?
[10:44] <@wrbtrader> Yes...I've written others that do different things and others given to me. Still have the first one which was given to me...it's archaic but works great.
[10:45] <@wrbtrader> Long TF @ 683.60 -> small size
[10:45] <@wrbtrader> 3 only
[10:45] <+Risk> could you add the current instrument name in the order window?
[10:46] * codehead_afk is now known as codehead
[10:46] <@wrbtrader> Exited all TF Long @ 683.40 --> - 0.2
[10:47] <@wrbtrader> Risk...I don't understand by the "current instrument".
[10:47] <+jbuch> Shorts ES @ 1175
[10:48] <@wrbtrader> You meant NAME instead of SYMBOL
[10:48] <@wrbtrader> or both
[10:48] <@wrbtrader> For example...
[10:48] <@wrbtrader> Instead of GC it would say GC Gold Futures
[10:49] <+Risk> no
[10:49] <+Risk> just in the order window
[10:50] <+Risk> INPUT REQUEST window
[10:50] <+Risk> where one enters the price
[10:50] <@wrbtrader> You trying to find a way to do different trading instruments
[10:50] <+jbuch> we broke above the down trendline now it is supporting price
[10:52] <+jbuch> back below it and broke a swing
[10:53] <@wrbtrader> This particular script is designed only for ONE trading instrument and you set the "default" of that trading instrument.
[10:53] <@wrbtrader> thus, there's no need to put the name with the price unless you're trying to get the script to management "more than one" trading instrument.
[10:53] <+jbuch> Covered all ES Short @ 1174.25 --> + 0.75
[10:55] <+jbuch> hey trader g how you been man long time no c
[10:55] <TarderG> sorry lost internet connection
[10:55] <@wrbtrader> Maybe I don't understand because after you click the price...we then see it posted with name (e.g. ES Short @ 1174.25 --> + 0.75)
[10:56] <+TarderG> u c that after you hit the ENTER button
[10:56] * Looking up Risk user info...
[10:56] <+TarderG> I am talking about the little window that has the name INPUT REQUEST in the blue area
[10:56] * Retrieving #FuturesTrades modes...
[10:58] <@wrbtrader> Hmmm...I'm lost because the script doesn't have a blue area call INPUT REQUEST.
[10:58] <@wrbtrader> checking to see if your talking about the mIRC program itself instead of the script.
[10:59] <@wrbtrader> TraderG...post an image of this little blue window because it seems like you're talking about the mIRC window with that little blue window in the upper left corner.
[11:00] <+TarderG> ok
[11:01] <+jbuch> man this market has been tough
[11:01] <+jbuch> just flopping around like a dying fish

http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum[11:02] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...that's why I hate when the price action jump starts before 0900am est.
[11:02] <+TarderG> MArk I am DCC'ing the file 2 u now
[11:03] <@wrbtrader> Sorry...my mIRC is setup not to take DC files...send it to
intradaystrategies@yahoo.com[11:03] <+jbuch> especially when it opens a few points below the the high of the last year and a half
[11:03] <@wrbtrader> mIRC has not internal virus scan
[11:03] <@wrbtrader> not = no
[11:03] <+TarderG> ok
[11:05] <+TarderG> it is sent

[11:07] <@wrbtrader> Ahhh...I see it now...we're on the same page.
[11:07] <+Risk>
[11:07] <@wrbtrader> Is that so that you will not get confused about the trading instrument
[11:08] <@wrbtrader> For example...
[11:08] <+Risk> exactly
[11:08] <@wrbtrader> If it saids "GC Entry Price"...you'll less likely make the mistake of inputing a trade price for TF.
[11:08] <+Risk> yes
[11:09] <+Risk> that's what I mean
[11:09] <werner1> Exited all NQ Long @ 1964.50 --> - 0.75
[11:10] <@wrbtrader> I actually have that on an old script that worked with Interactive Broker workstation for those that wanted to have trades auto posted directly in here in the chat room whenever they executed trades in their IB station.
[11:10] <+werner1> test
[11:10] <@wrbtrader> It crashed a lot which is why I moth balled it (put it deep in the closet).
[11:11] <@wrbtrader> I'll review it over the weekend to see how to pull that name change in the INPUT REQUEST box.
[11:12] <+Risk> thanks

[11:18] <@wrbtrader> 4 only
[11:19] <@wrbtrader> same as a prior short...same level breakdown
[11:19] <@wrbtrader> Difference is I got a worst entry price
[11:20] <@wrbtrader> Only good thing is there's more volatility than the prior trade price action
[11:20] <@wrbtrader> that increased in volatility is why I increased my position size
[11:22] <@wrbtrader> Covered all TF Short @ 681.20 --> + 0.2

[11:32] <@wrbtrader> my 5th trade of the day and I'm still sitting at a loss.
[11:32] <+werner1>
[11:33] <@wrbtrader> What's problematic is that my two losing trades are very small
[11:33] <@wrbtrader> As in...my winners are smaller
[11:33] <@wrbtrader> wrong on that comment...winners and losers the same.
[11:34] <@wrbtrader> The difference has been my position size...more heavy on the losers than the winners
[11:34] <@wrbtrader>
[11:35] <+Sidhartha> tough day all round I think

-------------------------
#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 @

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,
