#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.

[09:51] <@wrbtrader> I was bearish out of the gate but got stopped out quickly in the first short.
[09:51] <+pat255> & here was thinking L
[09:52] <@wrbtrader> Then I did an intuition Long and got stopped out of that one almost just as fast.
[09:52] <+JimL1> sorry for miscues, exit stop 694
[09:52] <@wrbtrader> Went back to the original short when price slid back through a key price area.
[09:54] <+mo2t> sometimes when I have the same signal on YM and NQ? I have a decision where to take the trade... and sometimes I choose wrong market, as now... YM is choppy, NQ nice short
[09:55] <@wrbtrader> mo2t...have you tried trading both at the same time or is that too much multi-tasking
[09:55] <@wrbtrader> I use to day trade (multiple trading instruments) at the same time...almost went insane
[09:57] <+werner> first i wil thank you all for the support yesterday(in special,wrbtrader and Risk) ..i saw what i did wrong yesterday,after reading the log(nice tool),i have set it in my rules and hopefully I make that mistake no more...I'm so a EMO FROG...Thanks guys!!!!
[09:57] <+Risk>
[09:57] <+mo2t> I take only one market at the same time when the signal is at the same moment. If not (more then few secs), I take the slower one, depend on other market moves
[09:58] <+Risk> news in 2
[09:58] <+rickf> EMO FROG? lol
[09:58] <@wrbtrader> Market is very psychotic today
[09:58] <+JimL1> now that's a move
[09:58] <+rickf> werner you *can* do it ... you've been here long enough and done okay to keep trying
[09:58] <+Risk> leak?
[09:58] <+werner>
)))))
[09:59] <+rickf> important thing is you're thinking and not forcing yourself, as i said. that puts you in a camp far beyond the average trader who forces themselves into failure

[10:39] <@wrbtrader> 2 only
[10:39] <+codehead> one thing i learned is i have too many tick charts with too many indicators to keep up on moves like that
[10:40] <+codehead> they stalled
[10:40] <+codehead> i guess too many charts in general
[10:41] <+rickf> i am with 1 chart only ... less analysis paralysis

[11:10] <+codehead> btw, Albert brooks trades with one chart: ES 5 min
[11:10] <+codehead> one indicator: 20 ema
[11:11] <+codehead> on his laptop
[11:12] <+codehead> on problem is have is my mentor made me quit Ym, because he didn't ahve the feed so didn't trade it
[11:12] <+codehead> and trade ES
[11:12] <+codehead> then had me do ES and NQ
[11:12] <+codehead> NQ i trade but it's somewhat maddening, terrible for stops
[11:13] <+codehead> so i added Ym
[11:13] <+codehead> now i have too many charts
[11:13] <+codehead> tho i havent' been trading ES lately, just Ym and NQ
[11:13] <+codehead> would have much better odds of getting an entry if i had my eyes on one thing
[11:14] <+codehead> too many times i get caught deciding, or i pick the wrong one
[11:14] * wrbtrader_away is now known as wrbtrader
[11:15] <+jbuch> Long ES @ 1186.5
[11:21] <+jbuch> I like al brooks I have read most of his stuff but all of his stuff is hindsight. on the few occasions that i have heard him try to predict what is coming up he has been wrong
[11:23] <+Sidhartha> jb, do you use anything you got from brooks...
[11:23] <+Sidhartha> I have his book sitting on my desk... bar by bar... about to read
[11:27] <+jbuch> Exited all ES Long @ 1187.75 --> + 1.25
[11:27] <+jbuch> yeah learned a lot from AB
[11:28] <+jbuch> especially his futures articles
[11:29] <+jbuch> the basis of my plan is based upon hiskey elements
[11:32] <+codehead> Ym in a cluster res are, but dow too close to 11k to pass it up i think
[11:33] <+codehead> hiskey..gotta look that up, thx
[11:33] <+codehead> i found some of his articles online, downloaded, need to read
[11:33] <+codehead> thatnks for reminding me
[11:34] <+codehead> heading to vegas in a few hours, i'll load them on laptop
[11:34] <+codehead> in case i get time to read
[11:35] <+jbuch> playing some poker
[11:35] <+codehead> no, don't
able
[11:36] <+codehead> gamble
[11:36] <+codehead> lol
[11:36] <+codehead> funny i've never had the slightest interest in gambling
[11:36] <+jbuch> me either
[11:36] <+codehead> did it once or twice to see--absolutely no feeling about it at all
[11:37] <+codehead> i guess the engineer in me, i know the odds, it's a losing proposition
[11:37] <+codehead> generally speaking
[11:37] <+jbuch> played poker for the first time in years a couple of weeks ago and had a blast though
[11:37] <+codehead> sure you can win in poker, playing against people
[11:37] <+codehead> or bj, if you tips the odds a little
[11:37] <+jbuch> emotionally it is just like trading
[11:38] <+codehead> seems it should be, but not to me
[11:38] <+codehead> much easier to put odds in your favor in trading
[11:38] <+codehead> in vegas, you look around and see what the losers built
[11:38] <+codehead> and it's pretty impressive
[11:39] <+codehead> so... "hiskey"... can you give me full name or somethign to look for?

[11:47] <+codehead> lol
[11:47] <+jbuch> ahh I was wondering what the hell that was
[11:48] <+Risk> I am down 150$ for the day REAL
[11:48] <+Risk> i guess yesterday's tiny gain was a teaser
[11:48] <+Risk> +10$
[11:48] <+codehead> Ym ran into the top of that cluster, wasn't sure if it would hold things, with dow tantalizingly close to 11k
[11:48] <+Risk>
[11:48] <+Risk> werner r u here?
[11:48] <+Risk> u r not alone
[11:49] <+codehead> which do you trade again?
[11:49] <+Risk> today was GC
[11:49] <+codehead> oh
[11:50] <+codehead> not sure if that's the best thing to deal with
[11:50] <+codehead> same with oil
[11:50] <+codehead> requires a lot of experience i think
[11:50] <+jbuch> do not trade counter trend until there is a move which is strong enough to break a down trendline
[11:51] <+jbuch> if there is a strong trend get on board
[11:52] <+jbuch> if the market is ranging fade breakouts
[11:52] <+codehead> jb what chart timeframe you trade?
[11:52] <+jbuch> 1 min
[11:52] <+codehead> thx
[12:06] <+Sidhartha> jb... al brooks futures stuff is not part of his bar by bar book I assume...
If not, where could I find the stuff relevant to futures... cheers
[12:07] <+jbuch> it is all the same stuff just more of it in the book
[12:08] <+codehead> yeah, it's bar by bar book i have
[12:08] <+Sidhartha> ok cool
[12:08] <+codehead> haven't use it yet, but in general i think more about the obvious turn candle patterns
[12:09] <+codehead> i think i'm too distracted today, thinking about heading to vegas, passing on obvious trades, so i'll probably quit early and hit the road
[12:10] <+codehead> in an hour or so
[12:10] <+jbuch> so whats going on in vegas
[12:10] <+codehead> a lot of eating, some drinking
[12:10] <+codehead> at my favorite vodka bar
[12:10] <+codehead> gf taking me for bday weekend
[12:11] <+codehead> Aria
[12:11] <+jbuch> nice
[12:12] <+jbuch> 11 min ina 2 tick range
[12:13] <+codehead> yeah... knew Ym was at decent res, but 11k dow seems imminent
[12:13] <+codehead> still it had the most tradeable pb
[12:13] <+codehead> NQ ES not much movement
[12:14] <+codehead> NQ 5 min postntially toppy...
[12:15] <+codehead> but little pb on short frame signal weakness, could swing back up
[12:16] <+codehead> the thing is, on a long win streak like this, you have no retracements to find resistance
[12:16] <+codehead> you only have retracements as support
[12:16] <+codehead> so easier to find buyers than sellers

[12:27] <@wrbtrader> Whatever position size you're using in simulator...ensure you position size is LESS in live trading until you're able to adjust to live trading.

-------------------------
#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,
