#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

[09:40:30] <@wrbtrader> tough trade...it's very jumpy
[09:40:33] <@wrbtrader> 6 contracts
[09:42:01] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 805.80 --> - 1
[09:42:53] <@wrbtrader> didn't have much of a chance as soon as I entered that one
[09:43:34] <+pat255> y the 2m bar all up
[09:43:35] <+Sidhartha> I hate it when that happens
[09:43:54] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 807.40 -> large size
[09:44:10] <+Sidhartha> feel like you stepped into the road and a 10 ton truck just ploughed into you
[09:44:34] <@wrbtrader> it's still jumpy by the way
[09:44:46] <@wrbtrader> 6 contracts
[09:45:11] <+pat255> geez look at this ...:(
[09:45:50] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 807.10 --> - 0.3
[09:46:56] <@wrbtrader> there's a prior volatility spike to use as a good initial stop/loss area
[09:49:21] <+pat255> N what chart tf for the last remark/
[09:51:24] <@wrbtrader> 805.60 - 807.00 is the remark for that price area
[09:51:38] <@wrbtrader> If I'm short above 807.00
[09:52:02] <@wrbtrader> I'll dump it at 807.00 or 807.10
[09:52:13] <@wrbtrader> If I'm Long below 805.60
[09:52:38] <@wrbtrader> Meant Short...I'll cover for a loss around 805.60
[09:52:47] <@wrbtrader> In between...it's too jumpy
[09:52:55] <+pat255> k ty
[09:53:30] <@wrbtrader> I'm using a volatility spike around 0810am est
[09:53:57] <+pat255> k
[09:54:03] <@wrbtrader> It's the same price action that the current price action is jumping around in.
[09:54:39] <@wrbtrader> It was also a support failure area that sent TF heading to almost 802
[09:55:06] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 807.60 -> large size
[09:55:15] <@wrbtrader> 6 contracts
[09:55:17] <+Sidhartha> amazing stop runners this morning
[09:55:54] <@wrbtrader> it'll clear up...impossible for the price action to stay in that range too much longer
[09:57:03] <@wrbtrader> still jumpy
[09:57:13] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 807.10 --> - 0.5
[09:59:27] <@wrbtrader> Looks like it can't let go of 807
[10:00:58] <@wrbtrader> I'm not taking any trades "inside" that 805.60 - 807.00
[10:01:11] <@wrbtrader> It's moving too fast in there or jumping around too much.
[10:02:48] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 808.00 -> large size
[10:02:54] <@wrbtrader> 6 contracts
[10:02:55] <@wrbtrader> intuition
[10:07:56] <+pat255> geez TF so jumpy
[10:08:09] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 808.20 --> + 0.2
[10:08:23] <@wrbtrader> Yes but you see the pattern now...
[10:08:27] <@wrbtrader> Higher Lows
[10:08:37] <+pat255> y
[10:13:20] <@wrbtrader> geeesh...still jumpy in that area
[10:13:53] <@wrbtrader> It keeps slicing right through like a bowling ball
[10:20:26] <@wrbtrader> support trying to develop
[10:21:05] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 807.70 -> large size
[10:21:13] <@wrbtrader> 6 contracts
[10:21:24] <@wrbtrader> intuition
[10:22:32] <+Sidhartha> this is ridiculous
[10:22:48] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 807.10 --> - 0.6
[10:29:24] <@wrbtrader> It's still bowling through that key price action I mentioned a few times today
[10:29:45] <+pat255> y price in that range
[10:30:12] <@wrbtrader> We don't see too often a "high volatility tight trading range" like this.
[10:30:14] <LP> oil #'s in 1 min
[10:30:24] <@wrbtrader> See one a few times per month and that's about it
[10:30:51] <@wrbtrader> However, this one is more intense...waiting for something
[10:31:16] <@wrbtrader> Usually tight trading ranges are "low volatility"...
[10:31:24] <@wrbtrader> NOT high volatility
[10:32:04] <+LP> Beige book at 2:00 PM ET today
[10:32:46] <+LP> Bernanke's prepared remarks were identical to yesterday's before the Senate Banking Committee. Check back for comments from Q&A.
[10:33:20] <+LP> market might be waiting for Q & A
[10:34:05] <+LP> but all in all this sucks ;)
[10:34:26] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 807.20 -> large size
[10:34:32] <@wrbtrader> 6 contracts
[10:34:36] <@wrbtrader> intuition
[10:34:52] <@wrbtrader> I'm in near where I would have put my initial stop/loss
[10:35:01] <@wrbtrader> Thus, had to make an adjustment on my stop
[10:38:11] <+LP> looks like you got the runner :)
[10:38:36] <@wrbtrader> Hopefully...as stated many times...just need ONE per day :)
[10:39:37] <codehead> oil dip on inventory
[10:41:03] <@wrbtrader> Exited Emini TF Long @ 810.50 --> + 3.3
[10:41:05] <@wrbtrader> Holding 1 contract remainder
[10:41:11] <+LP> nice
[10:41:12] <+pat255> vn
[10:41:37] <@wrbtrader> Early exit on those 5 contracts because I needed to get profitable.
[10:42:09] <@wrbtrader> Had I been profitable prior to this Long...I would not have scaled up a bulk of this trade.
[10:45:32] <@wrbtrader> Oil CL futures spike down trying to find support...reason why Emini TF hit that wall
[10:53:35] <@wrbtrader> Exited Remainder Emini TF Long @ 812.50 --> + 5.3
[10:54:02] <+pat255> vvn
[11:03:44] <@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
[11:04:00] <@wrbtrader> Adaptive trading today so far...
[11:05:03] <@wrbtrader> That key change in supply/demand around 0810am - 0815am est was a key change in supply/demand
[11:05:47] <@wrbtrader> More importantly, it spooked me (fear) from trading "inside" that price area when the price action traversed through it OFTEN after 0930am est.
[11:06:58] <@wrbtrader> That's the same key change in supply/demand that occurred soon after Oil CL futures spiked above $100
[11:07:13] <@wrbtrader> It then contracted and spike HIGHER big time.
[11:07:28] <+pat255> that 607 area was tuff once crossed it took off
[11:07:33] <+pat255> 807
[11:07:48] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...guess what...
[11:08:14] <@wrbtrader> If you get a Short signal above that area...it'll also make a GREAT profit target
[11:08:27] <@wrbtrader> We are currently above that FEAR area.
[11:09:18] <@wrbtrader> Now you know my target if I take any Shorts and think I caught a runner.
[11:22:43] <@wrbtrader> Here's a recent message post I made at Elitetrader.com about struggling traders with discipline problems "themselves versus trade method" @ http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthrea ... ost3109056
[11:24:18] <@wrbtrader> I'm not saying to ignore problems with a trade method...I'm saying to give equal time & energy to "YOU" as a trader.
[11:26:15] <Time4now> Long TF @ 811.1 -> small size «« simulator »»
[11:28:23] <+Time4now> Exited TF Long @ 810.4 --> - 0.7 «« simulator »»
[11:29:49] <@wrbtrader> Oil CL futures still powering back upwards and back above that initial price drop in reaction to the 1030am est EIA Petroleum Status Report
[11:30:14] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 810.60 -> small size
[11:30:19] <@wrbtrader> 2 contract
[11:31:06] <@wrbtrader> Reminder...you know my profit target.
[11:31:13] <@wrbtrader> Lets see if it can get there
[11:33:02] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 810.70 --> - 0.1
[11:33:59] <@wrbtrader> poor stop placement...needed it at 810.40
[11:35:51] <@wrbtrader> in reference to my trail adjustment
[11:39:53] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 810.70 -> small size
[11:39:59] <@wrbtrader> 3 contracts
[11:40:20] <@wrbtrader> same trade in reaction to prior trade mismanagement...

[11:44:22] <@wrbtrader> 1 contract
[11:45:16] <@wrbtrader> Exited Emini TF Long @ 810.00 --> - 1
[11:47:08] <@wrbtrader> I had my chances at that short on some size but couldn't hold it.
[11:47:56] <@wrbtrader> Too far down to chase a short back into that FEAR price area.
[11:47:59] <@wrbtrader> Will just watch
[11:48:40] <@wrbtrader> Oil CL futures still rising (FEAR)
[11:50:02] <@wrbtrader> Emini TF back inside that prior key change in supply/demand price area of 805.60 - 807.00
[11:50:30] <@wrbtrader> it's gone "bowling again"
[11:50:31] <@wrbtrader> :)
[12:06:27] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 805.00 -> small size
[12:06:34] <@wrbtrader> 1 contract
[12:06:48] <@wrbtrader> Obviously got some fear with Longs
[12:07:07] <@wrbtrader> since the peak of almost 814
[12:10:11] <@wrbtrader> looking for an exit...back inside that FEAR area

[16:05:01] <@wrbtrader> Take a look at the 15min chart for a different perspective...
[16:05:05] <@wrbtrader> It's a range day
[16:05:45] <+Time4now> yep
[16:06:47] <+Time4now> rare that I get a day with 100% losses
[16:07:22] <+Time4now> i'm sure it weighed heavily on my decisions
[16:07:42] <@wrbtrader> How many trades today for you ?
[16:08:14] <+Time4now> 5
[16:08:23] <+Time4now> 7 total contracts
[16:08:32] <+Time4now> i even want to short now
[16:08:46] <+Time4now> but wont, i'm done done
[16:09:12] <@wrbtrader> It was fast price action out of the gate...a few times it swallow me up.
[16:09:39] <@wrbtrader> I've had several trades today take me out at -1 point loss...
[16:09:49] <@wrbtrader> Most I've had in many months.
[16:10:20] <@wrbtrader> I had 2 particular trades...
[16:10:52] <@wrbtrader> I enter and then instantly adjusted my stop to -1 from -2...
[16:11:07] <@wrbtrader> Blinked my eyes once or twice...trail stop hit :(
[16:11:15] <@wrbtrader> It was fast.
[16:11:22] <+Time4now> I kept my stop tight all day, that was a plus
[16:11:35] <+Time4now> probably would have faired worse a few months ago
[16:12:10] <@wrbtrader> I then tighten my auto trails on entry...a few times they got hit almost instantly upon entry into the trade.
[16:12:46] <@wrbtrader> For example...I had one trade entry and trade exit in the same trade with confirmations approximately 2.5 seconds apart.
[16:13:12] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...it was a tight stop but to me that's a few eye blinks :)
[16:14:05] <+Time4now> I was too slow as well
[16:14:12] <@wrbtrader> I adapted my trading prior to the open after I saw that "strange" price action around 0825am est.
[16:14:14] <+Time4now> most trades were chases
[16:14:37] <@wrbtrader> Used that price action to manage my trades and stops for almost all of my trades
[16:15:16] <@wrbtrader> Rarely do I get suspicious about a particular price zone but today my FEAR alert went off big time before the opening bell.
[16:15:26] <@wrbtrader> In fact, I debated about "not trading" today.
[16:16:27] <@wrbtrader> Oil is in an area we haven't seen a few years...that didn't help matters with the FEAR
[16:16:46] <+Time4now> I dont see what is strange about 825 est
[16:16:50] <@wrbtrader> If it stays above $102 for tomorrows open...
[16:16:53] <+Time4now> just a dip
[16:17:15] <@wrbtrader> I will be loading the boat on my first trades...possibly scaling in 6 + 6 + 6.
[16:17:44] <@wrbtrader> Meant...will try to accumulate a very large scale in position within one of my early trade positions.
[16:18:01] <+Time4now> I haven't seen you do that in over a year
[16:18:23] <@wrbtrader> exactly
[16:18:35] <@wrbtrader> I've been gun shy for a long time
[16:19:04] <@wrbtrader> Just a few years ago I was using -4 point auto entry stops
[16:19:20] <@wrbtrader> It slowly got tighter month after month.
[16:19:47] <+Time4now> I like the -1 stop :/
[16:19:56] <@wrbtrader> Today I was using -0.3 to -1.0 as auto entry stops
[16:21:45] <+Time4now> I will be moving away from 1min charts
[16:21:50] <+Time4now> just too fast for me to think
[16:22:48] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...if the price action is too fast to react too...increase your chart intervals.
[16:22:55] <@wrbtrader> It helps to SLOW things down
[16:23:16] <@wrbtrader> Yet, I did that today and it didn't help me at all :(
[16:23:29] <+Time4now> hmm
[16:23:38] <@wrbtrader> Did that on about 1/4 of my trades
[16:24:07] <@wrbtrader> Anyways, only profitable today because of that big runner I caught.
[16:24:15] <@wrbtrader> Everything else was a bar room fight
[16:25:04] <+Time4now> good analogy
[16:29:23] <@wrbtrader> Yet, the trades that knocked the wind out of me or drained my energy was a Short positions I took between 1130am - 1139am est...
[16:30:08] <@wrbtrader> I had that direction nailed big time...
[16:30:29] <@wrbtrader> I even wrote in my trade journal this will be my best trades of the day...
[16:30:47] <@wrbtrader> I wrote that even after catching that big Long position.
[16:31:12] <@wrbtrader> One of those shorts got "picked pocketed" for a -0.10 loss
[16:31:38] <@wrbtrader> The next short trail stop got "picked pocketed" for a +0.10 profit
[16:31:56] <@wrbtrader> It took the breadth out of me and I was mad as a hornet.
[16:32:38] <@wrbtrader> I then sort'uv just "gave up" then...was just mentally exhausted.
[16:33:01] <@wrbtrader> That's when the price action DROPPED big time.
[16:33:20] <@wrbtrader> I could only just sit and watch...frozen.
[16:33:30] <@wrbtrader> FEAR
[16:34:03] <@wrbtrader> Anyways, there's a lesson I wrote in their for those paying attention or will read the chat logs later.
[16:34:16] <@wrbtrader> Hopefully it helps on rare trading days like today.
[16:34:35] <+Time4now> thanks

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

#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.

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.
