#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.

[14:12] <+xtractor> H&S on TF with target of 692.5 if it breaks neckline
[14:13] <+Risk> neckline being @ ~699 ??
[14:13] <+xtractor> 700.30 ish depending on how you draw it
[14:14] <+xtractor> i don't usually give much importance to intraday H&S's but in fast moving markets they sometimes work
[14:14] <+xtractor> so keeping an eye on it
[14:15] <+xtractor> stopped 701.3 +0.1
[14:16] <+Risk> i used 2 b very anal about the EXACT level of trend line (horizontal) but no I am looking at narrow ranges - hence the ~ sign
[14:17] <+Risk> 700 does look better especially b/c it is a round number
[14:17] <+Risk> but no = but now
[14:18] <+xtractor> patterns, trendlines and targets are never exact numbers in my book as i treat them as zones or areas
[14:19] <+Risk> b/c of my background it was/is difficult to adjust to NON exact price levels/targets but I am working on it and things improved significantly when I stopped looking at EXACT numbers
[14:20] <+xtractor> you must be an engineer:)
[14:20] <+Risk> yes I am :)))
[14:20] <+Risk> what a liability :))
[14:20] <+rickf> me too ... i havve had to learn to embrace the ART of trading versus the SCIENE
[14:21] <+xtractor> very well said...yes trading is an art...dance with the markets and let it lead
[14:21] <+Risk> engineering was much easier. Just plug the numbers in a formula, multilpy it by 2 for a safety margin and there u go
[14:22] <+rickf> markets are reflection of human emotion
[14:22] <+rickf> fear, greed, euphoria, desparation
[14:22] <+Risk> dance with the markets and let it lead - I like that
[14:22] <+xtractor> you can quote me on that :)
[14:23] <+Risk> no copyright infringement suits?
[14:23] <+xtractor> i think it's an X original :)
[14:24] <+Risk> I am not happy 2day. Up 900$ in sim , down 30$ in real money
[14:24] <+xtractor> buys 701.2
[14:24] <+Risk> same method
[14:24] <+Risk> my alter ego is the one that traded live
[14:25] <+Risk> I traded sim. :))
[14:25] <+xtractor> that's why i do not believe in sim trading unless it's to learn a new platform or new contract...just my opinion
[14:26] <+Risk> I don't know how to bridge the gap between the 2 but I am very close
[14:26] <+xtractor> and your millage may vary
[14:26] <+Risk> 6 months ago I would be losing in sim also

[16:38] <@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. Also, mimicking the trades by others is not recommended. More info about the chat room @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum
Session Close: Wed May 05 23:31:52 2010

-------------------------

#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=5

The 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.

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.
