#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.

[16:05:21] <+Time4now> when is the latest you will trade?
[16:06:01] <@wrbtrader> Depends on how much trasding I've missed or signals I get or if I've reached my profit target for the day (if I'm close to it)

[16:11:29] <@wrbtrader> That had impact on the next trade (short) that I clicked by accident.
[16:11:57] <@wrbtrader> Resulting in me exiting that trade for only +0.2 ticks
[16:12:27] <+Time4now> which report?
[16:12:51] <@wrbtrader> I don't discuss signals in here...you know that
[16:13:09] <@wrbtrader> That's what the other room is for.
[16:13:14] <+Time4now> well I do now :o
[16:13:32] <+Time4now> sometimes I need reminders
[16:13:42] <@wrbtrader> You know about the other room

#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,
