#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.

[11:16] <+Inertia> please, don't write so much guys. I cannt read so fast
[11:24] <codehead> YM divergent on long frmae, potentially bouncy
[11:25] <+codehead> something wrong with IB and stops
[11:25] <+codehead> friend was complaining his stop orders disappearing
[11:25] <+codehead> i went long ES, 1 pt target, only 2 tick stop...
[11:25] <+codehead> then i noticed the stop was gone
[11:25] <+codehead> , panicked and took 3 ticks, was confused whether i was in or out
[11:27] <+Inertia> i had a case where ninja showed that my trade was closed but it was still active on IB
[11:27] <+codehead> yikes
[11:27] <+Inertia> when I tried to close it from IB it was refused
[11:27] <+codehead> wow
[11:27] <+Inertia> after maybe more than a minute IB shweod the trade as closed
[11:28] <+Inertia> showed
[11:28] <+Inertia> at the correct price
[11:28] <+codehead> years ago, i think ameritrade was sitll datech or whatever it was
[11:28] <+Inertia> so the TWS was not keeping up with the API
[11:28] <+codehead> dot com days
[11:28] <+codehead> i had a stock way up at open, i usually use limit orders, but decided to use a market order
[11:29] <+codehead> 20 mins later it sitll wasn't filled!
[11:29] <+codehead> and $4k had slipped away, was scared to cancel it
[11:29] <+codehead> but finally cacelled put in a limit order, i was out
[11:29] <+codehead> called them
[11:29] <+Inertia> let me guess
[11:29] <+codehead> they insisted, "there were no buyers at your price"
[11:29] <+codehead> ?????
[11:29] <+Inertia> they r still investigationg
[11:29] <+codehead> it was a market order at the busiest time of day!!!
[11:29] <+codehead> no, i gave up
[11:30] <+codehead> missed out on $4k profits
[11:30] <+codehead> they kept saying over and over, there was no buyer at my price--on a market order during big volume, over a 20 min period
[11:31] <+codehead> never used a market order again
[11:31] <+codehead> i had read it executes the fastest, only reason i used it then
[11:32] <+codehead> so, in your case, the order had actually executed, but IB wasn't showing it yet?
[11:32] <+codehead> or did it really take that long to execute
[11:35] <+Inertia> sorry. back
[11:36] <+Inertia> ZenFire is the fastest execution that I have ever seen
[11:36] <+Inertia> <codehead> so, in your case, the order had actually executed, but IB wasn't showing it yet? >> yes
[11:37] <+codehead> ic
[11:38] <+Inertia> the numbers on Zenfire look like a slotmachine in a Market
[11:39] <+Inertia> most of the time I use Market orders
[11:40] <+Inertia> on Stop orders I got slippage of 1-2 ticks (TF) but only if I moved the order very close in time to the moment it executed
[11:40] <+Inertia> I guess it is a que issue
[11:44] <+codehead> YM, ES, NQ .382 bounces so far
[11:47] <+codehead> Ym has a cluster and nice symmetry 10168-71

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

#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. More information about #FuturesTrades @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/FuturesTradesChatRoom.htm

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.
