#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

[10:52:35] <+pat255> S 21.75 Es papaer
[10:55:43] <@wrbtrader> Will not do any large positions size because I've already missed the price action (increasing volatility) of the initial big price drop after the gap up.
[10:56:15] <@wrbtrader> Therefore, small size only for the remainder of the trading day unless something "surprising consistent volatility" shows up as a risk control measurement just in case I get disconnected while in the middle of a trade.
[10:56:25] <+pat255> out -1 tick

[12:08:31] <@wrbtrader> that sucks
[12:09:17] <@wrbtrader> Yesterday I had "missing data" and today I have "incorrect quotes" in a one hour period.
[12:10:29] <+LP> not good
[12:12:23] <@wrbtrader> Yep especially considering I have TWO data vendors with lows at that particular time being different by as much as 1.5 points
[12:12:25] <@wrbtrader> :(
[12:13:20] <@wrbtrader> Current quotes are head to head exact
[12:13:30] <@wrbtrader> It's the past history that's incorrect
[12:14:04] <@wrbtrader> Thus, if I take a trade based upon a support failure or support hold...
[12:14:13] <@wrbtrader> it may not be actually a support :(
[12:16:47] <+LP> let go of the charts wrb, use the force ;) heheeee
[12:18:50] <@wrbtrader> QCharts tech department saids data is good...
[12:19:04] <@wrbtrader> Futuresource tech departments saids data is good
[12:19:05] <@wrbtrader> :(
[12:19:11] <@wrbtrader> Both owned by eSignal
[12:20:25] <@wrbtrader> I may log off an do a REFRESH of every thing jsut in case something very strange happen with data redundancy when my ISP lost connection.
[12:20:59] <+LP> it can't hurt to try it
[12:25:07] <+LP> down first day of the month, maybe oil does matter
[12:26:14] <+LP> lets see if they paint the close green
[12:34:20] <@wrbtrader> Can someone send me a SIMPLE TEXT log of today's #FuturesTrades log...
[12:34:40] <@wrbtrader> The logs I've gotten so far have been converted by the sender :(
[12:35:14] <@wrbtrader> Thus, don't send me html, .doc, excel or anything else that you took out of the text log and past it into another file.

[12:54:07] <@wrbtrader> One of my data provider finally acknowledge that 15 mins of price quotes are "missing" between 1025am - 1040am est...
[12:55:00] <@wrbtrader> They compensated via blending in the quote interval from 1025am so that the next interval was 1040am est...
[12:55:19] <@wrbtrader> :( :( :(

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

#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 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.
