#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

[15:29:22] <+LP> vn
[15:32:18] <@wrbtrader> trying to stay in long enough to visit the volatility of the pending 4pm est rush hour traffic
[15:33:02] <+Twin7> i think NQ has broken higher, so up overnight
[15:33:46] <+Twin7> very difficult to predict overnight though
[15:34:22] <@wrbtrader> With all the volatility contraction since 1pm est...it's preparing to do a volatility spike either into the 4pm est close or in the overnight trading session as a GAP.
[15:35:02] <@wrbtrader> Exited Remainder TF Long @ 794.50 --> + 0.1
[15:35:14] <@wrbtrader> :(
[15:35:19] <@wrbtrader> don't know which direction the volatility spike will take prices (up or down)
[15:35:40] <@wrbtrader> Emini TF back inside that price contraction area
[15:36:46] <@wrbtrader> Emini ES price action in a very tight trading range since 1pm est
[15:37:59] <+LP> 10 pts range in es for 2 days now
[15:38:15] <@wrbtrader> Looks like I got "picked pocketed"
[15:40:17] <+Twin7> if there was no QE2 no way it would be so bullish, but there is, so ...it is
[15:40:57] <+Twin7> if it gaps up the long term bears are going to be outraged (and trapped)
[15:41:10] <+Twin7> :(
[15:44:51] <@wrbtrader> I can't imagine any Long term bears around since the breakout of early December
[15:45:20] <+Twin7> ya your right, they should be paid a fee to short the es since its so dangerous
[15:46:17] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...if I was a bear I wouldn't be shorting this now...market needs a MAJOR event to get me pessimistic
[15:47:55] <+LP> think the bears are on the dollar, now maybe gold
[15:48:52] <+LP> maybe hedge,but out right short against bernie the short killer, no way ;)
[15:49:09] <@wrbtrader> Theres still the CAC40 and FTSE100 lagging a little...will be interesting to see how they handle new one year highs if reached.
[15:50:22] <@wrbtrader> Last big swing or position trade opportunity was Dec 1st - 2nd of 2010
[15:50:42] <@wrbtrader> I'm waiting patiently for the next one to do a big swing or position trade
[15:51:14] <@wrbtrader> Hopefully one appears not too close to contract rollover
[15:53:07] <+LP> need some black swan poop ;) it will come but when?
[15:58:57] <+Twin7> oops im stopped
[15:59:15] <@wrbtrader> Looks like Emini TF determine to closed within that prior tough volatility contracting price area

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

#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:

Image CME Emini Futures EMD, ES and NQ

Image ICE Emini TF Futures (formerly CME ER2)

Image CBOT mini-sized Dow Futures YM

Image Eurex Index Derivatives (futures) DAX and DJ Euro Stoxx50

Image Eurex Fixed Income Derivatives (futures) BUND, BOBL and Schatz

Image Euronext Futures FTSE-100 and CAC-40

Image CME Futures EuroFX 6E and EC

Image Treasury Futures T-Notes ZT, ZN, ZF and T-Bonds ZB

Image Forex Currencies GbpUsd, EurUsd, EurYen and UsdCdn

Image Exchange Traded Funds VXX, DIA, IWM, QQQQ, SPY, BGU, FAS, FAZ, TNA, OIH, XLE and GLD

Image COMEX Metal Futures Gold GC, mini-Gold YG, Copper HG and Silver SI

Image S&P CNX NIFTY Futures

Image Hang Seng Index Futures HSI and mini-Hang Seng MHI

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.
