#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 @ TSL Support Forum * http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum/viewforum.php?f=5

With that said, thanks for reading the trades or market commentaries that's below and we highly recommend you make reading of the logs a part of your trading routine because you will sometimes find useful trade information not discussed anywhere else online nor in any books if you're not interested in scheduling one on one (private) real-time price action only trading education discussions. To gain access to #FuturesTrades chat room...please follow the instructions @ FTCHAT Support Forum * http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum/viewforum.php?f=5

[10:45:26] <@wrbtrader> I haven't seen much talk this December about the infamous Christmas rally...
[10:45:59] <@wrbtrader> Almost as if the key market participants are hyping it DOWN or preventing it from occurring.
[10:46:02] <@wrbtrader> :)
[10:46:03] <+pat255> well mkt moved quite a bit this year ..so folks may lock in the profit
[10:47:05] <@wrbtrader> I've summarize this year as "Low Volatility Stability"
[10:47:10] <@wrbtrader> Not great but not bad
[10:47:24] <@wrbtrader> In other words...boring
[10:47:29] <+rickf> it's still part of the fed's funny-money rally i think
[10:47:41] <+pat255> lol overall N you did pretty well this year..
[10:48:07] <@wrbtrader> Yeah considering I had a ton of personal distractions this year.
[10:48:17] <@wrbtrader> Very difficult to focus on trading
[10:48:20] <+pat255> yes ...:(
[10:52:01] <+Fleneer> trading is difficult WITH focus and attention.
[10:52:12] <+ajax> lol
[10:52:50] <+ajax> ya wrb.....ya goin thru a meat grinder......the good thing is, u'll have some good hamburger in the end.... :))
[10:53:49] <+rickf> yeah same here this year
[10:55:54] <+Fleneer> I been trading the Sim most of the year so the losses only hurt my ego.
[10:56:35] <+rickf> took longer-term trades (swing trades) because new job had me away from the office
[10:56:48] <@wrbtrader> Fleener...do you feel that when you sim trade that it has an impact on your real money trading ?
[10:57:13] <@wrbtrader> meant to say do you wait until you're doing well in sim trading to then jump into real money trading ?
[10:57:44] <@wrbtrader> Considering you mention a key psychological aspect of trading
[10:58:52] <+ajax> ahhhhh....FEAR!!!......lol

[11:05:48] <@wrbtrader> Shorts TF @ 786.70 -> small size
[11:05:51] <+Fleneer> yes, my opinion is if I can;t make the Sim work I am not trading the real account.
[11:06:26] <+Fleneer> the impact of the Sim is I protect the account.
[11:06:36] <@wrbtrader> 2 contracts
[11:07:21] <+Fleneer> rule 1 don't loose moeny.
[11:07:41] <+Fleneer> rule 2 if you loose your risk styake walk away.
[11:08:56] <+Fleneer> the markets are the worlds biggest Market. Never forget the house has the edge so statistically speaking you're a looser when you put your money down.
[11:10:07] <+ajax> yup. why I scalp & limited swings= get biiger trader/gambler advantage.... :))
[11:10:19] <+ajax> bigger
[11:10:29] <@wrbtrader> everybody loses money
[11:10:45] <@wrbtrader> the key is to make money on trades with a bigger position size
[11:10:52] <@wrbtrader> :)
[11:12:05] <@wrbtrader> Someone once told me that when things are going well...increase your size
[11:12:11] <+Fleneer> easy to say :o)
[11:12:19] <@wrbtrader> When things are doing poorly...decrease your size
[11:12:43] <+Fleneer> trick is to define "well" and "poorly"
[11:13:12] <@wrbtrader> well = profits > losses
[11:13:32] <+Fleneer> K. last trade or last 50 trades?
[11:13:46] <@wrbtrader> daily
[11:14:14] <@wrbtrader> You know when things are in a zone (doing well) for you and when things feel like it's falling apart
[11:14:23] <@wrbtrader> It's just like a sport competition...
[11:14:49] <@wrbtrader> Play the game long enough and you know when your at your best and when your not at your best
[11:14:51] <+ajax> why have my bottle of Gatorade rt here!!!......lol
[11:15:19] <@wrbtrader> The key is to not delay when you feel that...when you feel your at your best or when you feel your not doing well.
[11:15:21] <+ajax> & Nike's on .... :))
[11:15:38] <@wrbtrader> That's when you make changes to your game (position size)
[11:15:54] <@wrbtrader> If you can't feel a change in your trading...you need more trading experience
[11:16:14] <+ajax> or New Balance ... :))
[11:16:25] <@wrbtrader> prefer converse
[11:16:29] <+ajax> :))
[11:16:33] <@wrbtrader> I'm old school
[11:16:53] <+ajax> :0
[11:17:21] <@wrbtrader> Covered all TF Short @ 787.10 --> - 0.4
[11:17:23] <+Fleneer> glad you have reached a point of success in this game. I'm still working on it. over all I have more loosers than winners.
[11:17:56] <+Fleneer> small profit this year in the real account. Larger losses in the paper account.
[11:18:19] <@wrbtrader> volatility contracting
[11:18:41] <+ajax> Fleener, ya still in other room??....ur home room?
[11:19:15] <+Fleneer> I watch the last three days trading. If they are profitable I slip a small position real trade in. have a daily limit on what I'm prepared to loose. Hiot that and I take the day off.
[11:19:16] <+ajax> 'tradeforaliving' one?
[11:20:06] <+Fleneer> yes. But not doing anything with it other than a social spot. Don still comes on poccasion.
[11:20:48] <+Fleneer> Have my other private chat I post my trading notes to.
[11:23:29] <+ajax> ah
[11:24:46] <+ajax> ok, this market is definitely dead now....gonna run some errands....bbl/last hour.... :)
[11:25:17] <+Fleneer> My theory is I treat trading just like gambling. Have a loss limit for the "bad" days and no cap on the winning days.
[11:28:57] <@wrbtrader> In many ways...sports are played that way
[11:31:47] <@wrbtrader> Shorts TF @ 786.70 -> small size

[12:52:01] <@wrbtrader> We've only had one strong directional movement that started from 0930am to 1005am est
[12:52:13] <+rickf> yawwwwwn
[12:52:31] <@wrbtrader> We're due for one more and that'll be it for the day

[13:43:27] <@wrbtrader> VanDamas spam has been deleted and he's now banned from IRC Othernet and IP address blacklisted on all major anti-spam lists!!! [ec18]
[13:43:49] <+rickf> on the way!
[13:44:04] <@wrbtrader> :)
[13:44:15] <+Time4now> tks
[13:44:34] <@wrbtrader> Now you know why this room is passwork protected sometimes...
[13:44:53] <@wrbtrader> If he shows up again via a different IP address...I'll activate the password
[13:45:57] <@wrbtrader> #FuturesTrades password is stored @ viewforum.php?f=6
[13:51:05] <+codehead> i just kick banned him form another channel
[13:51:49] <@wrbtrader> I prefer to password protect the room when I see myself moderating too much
[13:52:17] <+codehead> hasn't been too many spammers in a while
[13:52:30] <+rickf> i must say part of me does miss the intraday trading .... and y'all. :)
[13:52:33] <+codehead> i guess that's because IRC isn't popular enough
[13:54:06] <@wrbtrader> The past few months there's an international anti-spam organization that's been going after IP addresses out of particular countries, servers et cetera via "attacking" the spammers somehow.
[13:54:33] <@wrbtrader> Overall there's a 48% drop in spam because of such
[13:54:55] <@wrbtrader> They've even threaten to go after Google if google continues to allow spammers to use gmail
[13:55:28] <@wrbtrader> Google gmail is the Number #1 spam source :(
[13:59:36] * Looking up codehead user info...
[14:01:02] <+codehead> i was reading article yesterday, about a guy who got fed up with spam, went back to school for a law degree, makes a living suiing email spammers
[14:01:30] <+codehead> over a million dollars in judgements
[14:01:53] <@X> #FuturesTrades Info -> Chat room for traders of Emini Futures (EMD, TF, ES, NQ, YM), EuroFX Futures (6E, EC), Eurex/Euronext Futures (DAX, ESTX50, FTSE100, CAC40), Treasury Futures (ZF, ZN, ZB), NYMEX Futures (CL, NG, HO, QM), Exchange Traded Funds (DIA, GLD, IWM, OIH, XLE, QQQQ, SPY) and Forex Currencies
[14:02:02] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...I know they've been going after them the past few years.
[14:02:21] <@wrbtrader> They caught one in Europe...
[14:02:29] <+codehead> oh yeah
[14:02:38] <@wrbtrader> fined him, jailed him and siezed his house and car.
[14:03:43] <@wrbtrader> Email spam is easy to stop.
[14:03:54] <@wrbtrader> It's the forum spammers that's a lot tougher
[14:04:08] <@wrbtrader> took me about a year to figure out out to stop them
[14:04:30] <@wrbtrader> Was getting about 15 spam per day for about 3 months a few years back
[14:04:45] <@wrbtrader> fixed it and haven't had one single spam since
[14:05:56] <@wrbtrader> spammers don't like answering questions that deals with the market :)
[14:06:25] <@wrbtrader> 99% won't register because of a simple question
[14:06:43] <@wrbtrader> 1% will register but answer the question incorrectly.
[14:07:15] <@wrbtrader> Those registration automatically go into the "spammer garbage" for deletion
[14:07:34] <+codehead> on my website, i get several spam comments to my blog daily
[14:08:03] <@wrbtrader> Is you're blog hosted by someone else ?
[14:08:08] <+codehead> and many are just fishing to see if they can post--bots that leave messages of just random text "akjhsh dhsj auw87w7d..."
[14:08:32] <+codehead> i have my own domain
[14:08:40] <+codehead> hosted on dreamhost
[14:08:55] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...the 1% that answers my question incorrectly also post gibberish like that (e.g. sepwidk)
[14:08:57] <+codehead> it's s technical blog (digital audio signal processing)
[14:10:43] <+codehead> then some are generic accolades, but their link back is a drug or porn site ("great resource! this has been a big help!")
[14:11:10] <+codehead> i could implement capcha or something if i get too many
[14:11:25] <+codehead> right now i manually approve of comments anyway
[14:11:26] <@wrbtrader> The Othernet or IRC is very primitive in their anti-spam registrations and log-ins
[14:11:48] <@wrbtrader> They were suppose to update that about 5 years ago...
[14:11:52] <@wrbtrader> They never did
[14:13:43] <+rickf> Case-Shiller down again

[14:31:34] <+codehead> may have to pb firsty
[14:32:18] <@wrbtrader> All volatility spikes today has been followed by a lot of tight ranges of 2 - 3 ticks
[14:32:34] <+rickf> not expecting much action today
[14:32:57] <@wrbtrader> I'm still expecting one more strong directional price movement

#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=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 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.

Commonly discussed trading instruments from futures, exchange traded funds and forex currencies:

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.
