#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.

[10:02] <+codehead> took a little heat from 2027.75, added 2029.50... got out of the first way too soon... mae just a little overall
[10:02] <+codehead> should be holding now too, front-ran the signal
[10:02] <+codehead> gotta stop doing that
[10:03] <+JimL1> they tried to push it dwn & didn't go the 1st time

http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum[10:05] <+jbuch> Long ES @ 1206.25
[10:06] <@wrbtrader> Long TF @ 7201.20 -> medium size
[10:06] <@wrbtrader> 4 only
[10:06] <@wrbtrader> intuition because I missed my entry via 5 ticks
[10:07] <@wrbtrader> correction
[10:07] <+rickf> welp my 10m trade would have been a winner had i held
[10:07] <@wrbtrader> Long TF @ 721.20 -> medium size
[10:07] <+rickf> had to see how the candles worked though - no regrets though
[10:09] <+JimL1> they couldn't push it dwn sothey 'll go up, had signal @ 720.1 missed & chased 720.3, 4, &6 gave up :<
[10:09] <+jbuch> Exited all ES Long @ 1207.25 --> + 1
[10:09] <+pat255> vn
[10:09] <+pat255> geez L is the only way
[10:11] <@wrbtrader> Exited 3/4 TF Long @ 722.30 --> + 1.1
[10:11] <@wrbtrader> volatility still rising
[10:12] <+JimL1> 25 tick move in tf
[10:12] <+jbuch> I plan on being very cautious and and only using 1 or 2 contracts until the markets retrace
[10:12] <+jbuch> tick plummeting
[10:14] <+pat255> no p/b amazing
[10:15] <+rickf> buy buy buy
[10:15] <+jbuch> plummeting was a bit of a dramatization
[10:15] <+Sidhartha> what internals do people here look at...
TICK, ADD, net issues...
anything else...
[10:17] <+JimL1> ADD & TICK
[10:17] <+JimL1> Shorts TF @ 722.3 «« simulator »»
[10:17] <+JimL1> 2
[10:19] <+JimL1> Covered all TF Short @ 721 --> + 1.3 «« simulator »»
[10:19] <+rickf> sid: i don't track internals
[10:19] <@wrbtrader> I like ADD and VIX
[10:19] <+rickf> not regularly, anyway
[10:20] <@wrbtrader> I have trouble sometimes recognizing "tight trading ranges" and the ADD and VIX helps me see that quickly (as it is occurring).
[10:20] <+JimL1> 722 +.3 I stracthed cuz I broke my reules & entered too early, I jumped in too soon
[10:20] <+jbuch> just tick here and I always forget to look at that even
[10:21] <+JimL1> gotta run - no more trading from me
[10:21] <+rickf> i use the vix for deciding whenoptions are 'cheap' to buy
[10:21] <+rickf> (like now)
[10:21] <Risk> talking about VIX; VIX on a daily basis is as low as it was at the peak of the market in late 2007
[10:22] <+rickf> yeah
[10:22] <@wrbtrader> It's buddy that's slowly getting more traders into is the VXX
[10:23] <@wrbtrader> I prefer now watching the VXX because it's based on trades and not a 15 sec update
[10:23] <+rickf> oh really?
[10:25] <+rickf> intersting
[10:25] <@wrbtrader> yeah...you should put up both those charts of the $VIX and VXX
[10:25] <@wrbtrader> You'll easily see the difference
[10:25] <+rickf> doign that now
[10:26] <+jbuch> was looking at the weekly charts and thinking about the last 2 times we were on our way up and hitting these levels in 99 and 05
[10:26] <@wrbtrader> VXX is an iPath exchange traded fund
[10:26] <+rickf> hrmm vxx smoother chart ont he daily than vix
[10:27] <+rickf> smoother on other tf's too
[10:27] <+rickf> interesting
[10:27] <+jbuch> the economic climate was soooooo much stronger than it is now
[10:30] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...I've been meeting more and more folks with two jobs...with one of the jobs as "under the table" income as in not tax reporting
[10:31] <+pat255> in canada how do they do it?
[10:31] <+pat255> just work on the side?
[10:32] <@wrbtrader> For example...the gal that works fulltime at the Sushi bar is also an "architecture photographer" (fulltime)...she only takes cash.
[10:32] <@wrbtrader> Thus, usually on the side jobs are "cash only".
[10:32] <+pat255> k ...thks
[10:33] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...usually when someone tells me "cash only"...I know what's up.
[10:33] <@wrbtrader>
[10:33] <+pat255> N u got the only entry possible & jb
[10:34] <+Sidhartha> loads of that here in London
[10:34] <+Sidhartha> I pay people in cash all the time...
[10:35] <+Sidhartha> works out cheaper... what they do with it, I don't want to know!
[10:35] <@wrbtrader>
[10:44] <+Sidhartha> new highs everywhere... just blue sky when you look backwards across the charts at these levels.
[10:44] <+pat255> tuff to tarde here
[10:47] <@wrbtrader> Exited Remainder TF Long @ 723.50 --> + 2.3
[10:47] <+pat255> vvn

[11:07] <+jbuch> hey luffy what is happening man
[11:07] <+Sidhartha> Al Brooks book 'bar by bar' seems a good place to start
[11:07] <+luffy> sup jb
[11:08] <+luffy> yea i was in al's room for a month
[11:08] <+luffy> very good
[11:08] <+luffy> learned alot
[11:08] <+luffy> but i'm not comfortable trading 5min bars
[11:08] <+luffy> i like tick charts
[11:08] <+Risk> do a search on "NihabaAshi" & c what comes up
[11:08] <+Sidhartha> tick a bit too much for me... anything lower than 1 min I leave alone... mainly trade 2, 3 and 5
[11:08] <+luffy> i'm trading larger tick charts
[11:09] <+luffy> eq to maybe 3 min and higher
[11:09] <+luffy> thnx risk i'll do a search
[11:11] <+luffy> he hasnt posted anything since feb
[11:11] <+luffy> maybe he's sick of et too
[11:12] <+jbuch> I don't like 5 min bars don't like time based entries and exits but have noticed that his H2 and L2's and failed H2 and L2's after a trend break usually match my criteria exactly.
[11:13] <+luffy> cool just a different way to look at it
[11:13] <+luffy> i like his patience
[11:13] <+luffy> and spoting for channels
[11:13] <+luffy> took away some stuff
[11:13] <+rickf> ticks seemed handy but i kept getting whipped around
[11:13] <+luffy> still gotta watch all this march vids... way behind
[11:13] <+luffy> i use 500+tick charts

[14:48] <+codehead> ES still trying to chew 1210

[15:24] <+rickf> sidelined --- gonna go rest eyes and check mail instead. have a good evening, i'm gonna enjoy som eof this great spring weather now.
[15:25] <+Risk> ES looks like it is going down but TF looks the opposite.
[15:25] <+Risk> rickf...
[15:28] <@wrbtrader> Shorts TF @ 723.00 -> small size
[15:28] <@wrbtrader> 3 only
[15:28] <@wrbtrader> intuition
[15:29] <+codehead> yeah, i have similar intuition
[15:29] <@wrbtrader> volatility increasing
[15:29] <+codehead> NQ been pretty divergent for a while, ripe for a rug-pull
[15:30] <+codehead> i stopped trading a while ago, took some poor trade early, then a bunch that were great entries but i'd take like 1-3 ticks to exit rather than risk another stop-out
[15:30] <@wrbtrader> It still can easily pop back up into that problematic range of 723.60 - 723.00
[15:30] <+codehead> most of what i'm down is commish, 20 tiny trades
[15:31] <+codehead> GOOG earnings tonight i think
[15:31] <@wrbtrader> Covered all TF Short @ 723.10 --> - 0.1
[15:31] <@wrbtrader>
[15:31] <@wrbtrader> It's back
[15:32] <Hen> Tomorrow will be a nice day for tech if GOOG has good earnings and forward guidance, if they can reassure investors/traders that the China issue will not affect the stock we should go much higher
[15:32] <@wrbtrader> Shorts TF @ 722.90 -> medium size
[15:32] <@wrbtrader> 4 only
[15:32] <+codehead> NQ getting pressured now
[15:32] <@wrbtrader> same trade
[15:32] <+codehead> thought it would, dang
[15:33] <@wrbtrader> come on...just 2 more ticks
[15:34] <@wrbtrader> tighten trail
[15:34] <+werner> back of motoscross with my son
[15:35] <@wrbtrader> Covered all TF Short @ 722.80 --> + 0.1
[15:36] <@wrbtrader> feels like a stop runner
[15:37] <+Hen> Coming up GOOG, we will see either major buying or major dumping
[15:41] <+werner> djeez... its so nice to see your son to do like i did in my old days.... i like it when the kids are between 12/16 years old..
[15:41] <+Risk> werner r u losing it?
[15:41] <+werner>
?
[15:42] <+Risk> what's this about kids?
[15:43] <+werner> indd... but like wrbtrader some times say.... my kids is my life
[15:43] <+werner> some time you have to take time for your kids
[15:44] <+Risk> y
[15:45] <+werner> if you dont have them you wil never understand that
[15:46] <+codehead> i have this trading problem, i need to overcome... if i get down a certain amount, maybe a couple fo stop-outs in a row...
[15:46] <+codehead> even if i realize they were not proper trade entries...
[15:46] <+codehead> i let them influence the trades that follow
[15:46] <+werner> there is more than trading ....
[15:47] <+codehead> for instance, i had 6 of last 7 trades winners
[15:47] <+werner> in a life time
[15:47] <+codehead> and the one loss a 1-pt
[15:47] <+codehead> 1 tick
[15:47] <+codehead> i mean
[15:47] <+codehead> but...
[15:47] <+codehead> i let none of the trades go to where i knew they would
[15:47] <+codehead> know what i mean?
[15:47] <+codehead> letting earlier trades influence current ones?
[15:47] <+codehead> need each trade to be "new"
[15:48] <+codehead> reasonable stop, reasonable target
[15:48] <@wrbtrader> Long TF @ 722.90 -> medium size
[15:49] <@wrbtrader> 4 only

[15:53] <@wrbtrader>
[15:54] <+codehead> it wasn't me, believe me
[15:55] <@wrbtrader> especially going into the 4pm rush hour traffic
[15:56] <@wrbtrader> It's been awhile since I've seen it dry up like this so close to 4pm
[15:56] <+codehead> options expiry tomorrow

[15:58] <@wrbtrader> they can put that trade
[15:59] <@wrbtrader> At least it keeps trying but someone keeps putting a top on that volatility
[15:59] <@wrbtrader> sucks up all the contracts in a very tight range
[16:00] <@wrbtrader> Long TF @ 722.70 -> medium size
[16:00] <@wrbtrader> 4 only

http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum[16:05] <@wrbtrader> Exited all TF Long @ 723.00 --> + 0.3
[16:05] <@wrbtrader> punks
[16:06] <+Risk> lucky u Mark
[16:06] <@wrbtrader> Only good thing about that late afternoon low volatility trading session is that if there's no overnight news...
[16:06] <@wrbtrader> We'll have a high probability for a strong directional price movement out of the gate tomorrow.
[16:08] <@wrbtrader> I'll remind the room about tomrrow morning around 0930am est about what I just said.
[16:08] <@wrbtrader> Hopefully we don't get some enormous GAP at the open.
[16:10] <@wrbtrader> Remember this area...
[16:10] <@wrbtrader> [15:30] <@wrbtrader> It still can easily pop back up into that problematic range of 723.60 - 723.00
[16:10] <+Risk> MArk can you publish som eof your observation regarding certain marke tconditions and their impact on the next trading day?
[16:11] <@wrbtrader> I talk about a few things in here "sometimes" just prior to such occuring.
[16:12] <@wrbtrader> However, I won't put it in a nice file for someone
[16:12] <@wrbtrader> People just needs to pay attention or be here when I say something involving "intraday tendencies"
[16:14] <+Risk>
[16:14] <+Risk> you should write a book with your observations
[16:17] <+werner> risk see p2p ...tx
[16:17] <+werner> gn all
[16:19] <+codehead> yeah, that sounds reasonable wrb
[16:19] <+codehead> seems like that market is "set up"
[16:19] <+Risk> 4 what?
[16:20] <+codehead> question is... can we get any downside before expiry is over?
[16:20] <+codehead> if i knew...
[16:20] <+Risk>
)
[16:20] <+codehead> i'd be a wealthy man
[16:20] <+codehead> we didn't quite hit ES next level
[16:21] <+codehead> i mentioned that Aria (Vegas) comped us pretty good for the buggy technology
[16:22] <+codehead> gf wrote them an email, and they added 2 free nights stay for next time as well
[16:22] <@wrbtrader> [16:14] <+Risk> you should write a book with your observations
[16:22] <+codehead> so i guess i'm going back to vegas some time
[16:23] <@wrbtrader> I have a .doc file of such but won't release it until late this year or next year for specific trading instruments.
[16:24] <+Risk> we'll b waiting

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