#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. Further, although our chat room is smaller than the other popular chat rooms...we are the most active chat room in posting trades or market commentaries involving futures, exchange traded funds or forex currencies in comparison to other free chat rooms.
#FuturesTrades is designed to be a
trade journal for documentation purposes only so that members can have a real 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.
In addition, we welcome all traders with their own methods or different perspective of the markets to help keep the chat room diversified...posting trades or market commentaries. Also, if you're looking for real-time education in the chat room involving
price action only trading (profitably trading without indicators)...you need to contact us to
schedule price action only trading real-time discussions. We'll then have
one on one (private) real-time price action only trading discussions with you while you're using #FuturesTrades real-time chat room to prevent distractions in the chat room with other members that are using different trading methods in comparison to us. However, you must first download and learn our
free study guide at a different forum @

[10:14:41] <inertia> good morning
[10:14:58] <+inertia> I am baaaaaaack
[10:15:39] <@wrbtrader> welcome back and hope all is well again
[10:15:56] <+pat255> hi inertia
[10:16:10] <+inertia> the situation is stable but not good. thanks
[10:16:28] <+inertia> hello pat
[10:16:39] <+Sidhartha> Hey G... welcome back
[10:16:42] <+inertia> all i can say that it is good to be back
[10:16:46] <+inertia> hi Sid
[10:16:59] <Fleneer> I'm convinced trading the markets is a crap shoot. A lot of similarities between the markets and a Market.
[10:17:51] <+inertia> it would seem so but how would u explaing the consistant winnings of the likes of WRB?
[10:18:19] <+pat255> S 31.25 ES
[10:19:03] <+Fleneer> Skill. There are many professioinals in Casinos. Found a niche that works and they exploit it. I'm still looking for a niche.
[10:19:36] <@wrbtrader> I played sports on an international level and spent a lot of time in the military...
[10:19:57] <@wrbtrader> Discipline, technique and stress management is a key for me
[10:20:21] <@wrbtrader> Any one of those things missing for the day...it's going to be a very difficult trading day for me
[10:21:04] <@wrbtrader> Thus, I see trading no different than many of my experiences in other areas of my life
[10:22:09] <@wrbtrader> Unfortunately, MONEY controls the world
[10:22:29] <+pat255> N good aaproach to look at trading .
[10:22:35] <@wrbtrader> We connect our well being, successes and failures to money...
[10:22:41] <@wrbtrader> That's a ton of pressure.
[10:22:49] <+Fleneer> I'm with you wrb. It's the technique part I'm still working on.
[10:23:51] <@wrbtrader> The more I master the "psychological aspect" of trading...the easier trading gets.
[10:24:36] <+Fleneer> "We connect our well being, successes and failures to money..." most folks do I think. I personally place money down the list below health and family relationships.
[10:25:21] <+pat255> good point fleener
[10:25:22] <+inertia> so trading for u should be easier
[10:26:44] <+Fleneer> yes I think so. I don;t depend on trading for iuncome. Just my slush fund. I have other business activites to pay the bills.
[10:27:19] <+inertia> that REALLY should make your trading easy
[10:27:38] <+pat255> hmm fleener what else can i do beside trading any ideas?
[10:27:44] <+inertia> not having the stress of relying on trading for income
[10:28:18] <+Fleneer> pat look at your skill set and what you like to do and find someone who will pay for those activities. Simple but it works.
[10:28:55] <@wrbtrader> Emini ES back at a key support area
[10:29:07] <@wrbtrader> lets see if it holds
[10:30:41] <+Fleneer> ES just made a nice Fib retrace. 1235 to 1229 then .382 = 1231.25 for a short setup. I shorted 1231.00 then chickened out and bailed 30.75 shoulda held on to it.
[10:32:13] <+Fleneer> 1228.25 lower low so more down it seems. close the gap to 1222 a good posibility
[10:32:38] <@wrbtrader> A new support area developing
[10:32:57] <@wrbtrader> Long ES @ 1229.00 -> small size
[10:33:02] <@wrbtrader> 2 only
[10:33:41] <@wrbtrader> not going to hang around too long in this trade
[10:34:18] <+inertia> when/why did u switch to ES MArk?
[10:34:28] <+Fleneer> Not playing the long side now. Momentum slowing.
[10:34:41] <@wrbtrader> Exited all ES Long @ 1229.00 --> 0
[10:34:50] <+Fleneer> narrower Fib,. 4 points
[10:35:11] <+Fleneer> 1232 to 1228 .382 1229.50
[10:35:38] <@wrbtrader> too many 1 - 2 contract trades controlling the price action in Emini TF along with the fact ICE was raising it's fees from $0 to $70 per month for Emini TF data
[10:36:01] <@wrbtrader> So far...all the data vendors are passing the fee to clients
[10:36:57] <@wrbtrader> Mainly I prefer to compete in a trading instrument that has heavy institutional involvement and Emini TF has lost that
[10:37:45] <+Sidhartha> N, have you ever traded the NQ...
[10:38:05] <@wrbtrader> Yep...many years ago very heavily
[10:38:32] <+werner> Long NQ @ 2201.50
[10:38:43] <@wrbtrader> I've traded all Eminis, Eurex, Euronext, Energies, Treasuries, Metals at one point in time very heavily
[10:38:57] <+Sidhartha> what took you away from it...
[10:39:27] <@wrbtrader> The same as always...I see a consistent change in the price action that I don't like.
[10:39:36] <+Sidhartha> reason I ask is, big problem with ES is 1. the ticksize is BIG given the volatility of the contract 2. It's not as volatile as some of the others...
[10:39:55] <@wrbtrader> Volatility is part of the equation...
[10:40:11] <@wrbtrader> The other part is the size the moves price through key levels...
[10:40:29] <@wrbtrader> I want to see institutional involvement (not retail) at key price levels.
[10:40:54] <+werner> Exited all NQ Long @ 2204.25 --> + 2.75
[10:42:33] <+Fleneer> 1228.00 supported now retrace above the .382 to .618 1230.25
[10:48:57] <+werner>
[10:49:34] <@wrbtrader> Long ES @ 1230.50 -> small size
[10:49:43] <@wrbtrader> 2 only
[10:49:52] <@wrbtrader> volatility slowly increasing
[10:50:01] <@wrbtrader> hopefully it'll setup a volatility spike
[10:50:27] <+Fleneer> wrb what you see here to trigger the long?
[10:51:00] <+Fleneer> I see a bounce in a down move. Looking for a short entry.
[10:52:04] <+Fleneer> breaking a downtrend line is only long aspect I see in ES. why I am on the side.
[10:52:40] <+Fleneer> reason to be long + reasonss to be short = reason to just watch. :o)
[10:54:46] <@wrbtrader> volatility contracting now
[10:55:01] <@wrbtrader> Exited all ES Long @ 1230.00 --> - 0.5
[10:55:30] <@wrbtrader> Fleneer...I prefer to enter or exit trades in "expanding volatility".
[10:55:51] <@wrbtrader> If the intervals are getting smaller = contraction
[10:56:05] <@wrbtrader> If the intervals are getting larger = expansion
[10:56:09] <+Fleneer> What measure of volatility?
[10:56:24] <@wrbtrader> visual via looking at the range of each interval
[10:56:50] <+Fleneer> I watch the NYSE tic and level II order balance on the ES
[10:56:59] <@wrbtrader> I want to see at least (minimum) of 3 consecutive intervals to determine if something is expanding or contracting
[10:57:54] <+Fleneer> by intervval you mean timeframe for a bar? e.g. 1 min 5 min?
[10:58:16] <@wrbtrader> Yep...no particular time frame.
[10:58:30] <@wrbtrader> I use basic time charts...same as institutional traders
[10:59:52] <+Fleneer> K thx I watch 1 min bars the same way and a 55 tick chart for ovvernight when trading is thin.
[11:01:06] <@wrbtrader> Overall...tough range since 1040am est
[11:08:40] <@wrbtrader> Long ES @ 1230.00 -> small size
[11:09:01] <@wrbtrader> 2 only
[11:09:34] <@wrbtrader> should have lower my size down to 1 contract in this low volatility range that's developing now
[11:10:04] <@wrbtrader> Emini ES still
the contraction

-------------------------
#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 trade signal methods, different perspective of the markets and different experience levels. 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 trade signal 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 advertisements 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
price action only 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,
