#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.

[11:16:15] <+Inertia> now that I had a valid short signal I did not take it (was on the phone) :(
[11:41:17] <codehead> YM this within 5 of yesty low
[11:54:31] <+Inertia> took only 2 trades 2day for TINY profits. I am still a chicken
[12:06:31] <+codehead> took three, one accidental
[12:06:40] <+codehead> and missed on the bottom
[12:06:50] <+codehead> when i said "YM this within 5 of yesty low"
[12:07:03] <+codehead> just missed my entry, and didn't chase a could ticks to fill :-/
[12:07:15] <+codehead> meant "a couple"

[13:29:37] <+Inertia> lost concentration 4 W 4 L but losers much bigger than winners :( have 2 regroup.
[13:29:47] <+codehead> potential to get some buying...
[13:29:59] <+codehead> Ym in a bit of a buy, the others lagging
[13:30:26] <+codehead> Ym keeps denting 20 ema, which had been selling every time (5 min)
[13:32:22] <+codehead> Ym finally about the ema
[13:32:36] <+codehead> other signal indicating dip buying
[13:36:14] <+codehead> signals
[13:36:22] <+codehead> NQ bounced the obvious spot
[13:36:26] <+codehead> but i was napping :-/
[13:36:49] <+codehead> that's where it consolidated yesterday ont he first bounce, then blew through for the bigger bounce
[13:37:58] <+codehead> we've had two big and deep stretches of selling volume
[13:38:42] <+codehead> but the current volume is ont he sell side, but weaker so far
[13:39:29] <+codehead> my longer frame Ym is in buy mode, not sure how that will translate coming into the holiday weekend
[13:39:47] <+codehead> but, i think it might be at least dip-buyable
[13:40:41] <+codehead> NQ needs to get back over 1720 to make any shorts wonder
[13:43:52] <+codehead> if it hold up 1716.50 and gets over 1720
[13:44:27] <+codehead> the big frame should cross to buy
[13:46:38] <+codehead> ES and Ym have been in buy mode already
[13:47:12] <+Inertia> no wonder this is called a chop zone >>> I am being chopped :(
[13:47:34] <+codehead> well, remember volume yucky day before 3 day weekend
[13:47:40] <+codehead> especially afternoon
[13:47:48] <+Inertia> forgot that
[13:47:53] <+codehead> looked like the sellers got done, however
[13:47:58] <+codehead> looks
[13:48:12] <+codehead> well, looked also
[13:48:24] <+codehead> checked out buying and selling volume a while ago
[13:48:26] <+Inertia> so the market is closed on Monday?
[13:48:38] <+codehead> and we hit a pretty nice crescendo on the lows
[13:48:40] <+codehead> yes
[13:50:18] <+codehead> dow was first to clearly show the trend change
[13:50:34] <+codehead> no way i'd chase longs, but like i said before, dips
[15:30:38] <+codehead> was a dam good trend change, huh
[16:17:03] <+Inertia> bye every 1

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

#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.
