#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

[09:25:56] <Trendtrader> gm
[09:30:23] <drt> gm
[09:33:11] <+Trendtrader> Long TF @ 792.1 «« simulator »»
[09:33:50] <+Trendtrader> Exited all TF Long @ 792.3 --> + 0.2 «« simulator »»
[09:35:32] <@wrbtrader> Anybody noticed something odd on Friday with the volume of the H and M contracts ???
[09:35:34] <@wrbtrader> :)
[09:35:55] <@wrbtrader> Usually the day after rollover the M contract has much more volume than the H contract.
[09:36:14] <@wrbtrader> On Friday that didn't happen...first time in many many years I saw such.
[09:36:31] <@wrbtrader> The H contract had more volume than the M contract
[09:36:51] <@wrbtrader> In fact, the H contract is still very active today...it's just weird.
[09:37:19] <@wrbtrader> I wonder if it has something to do with the increased "intraday volatility" this year in comparison to the prior 2 years.
[09:37:44] <codehead> interesting--i thought recent contracts seemed to transition more slowly on rollover day than they used to in the past, too
[09:38:26] <@wrbtrader> The Eminis rollover transition usually starts the morning prior to the 0930am est start.
[09:38:40] <+codehead> didn't watch closely this time, but seemed ot be true of previous time or twi
[09:38:51] <@wrbtrader> However, by 12noon est...the new contract has more volume.
[09:39:09] <@wrbtrader> That didn't happen Thursday afternoon and didn't happen at all by close of Friday.
[09:39:56] <@wrbtrader> rollover spread traders must be loving this
[09:41:42] <+Trendtrader> Shorts TF @ 795 «« simulator »»
[09:42:47] <Fleneer> ES June has double the March volume

[09:43:52] <Tigerman> hi all
[09:44:16] <@wrbtrader> I'm still not sure why there was a delay in the June contract catching up to the March contract on Thursday by 12noon est and especially Friday by the close.

[09:58:50] <@wrbtrader> Worst...my data providers times are off sometimes too.
[10:00:17] <@wrbtrader> For example, a few years ago they showed the market regular session starting at 0830am est and in March after the Sunday time change instead of 0930am est...
[10:00:42] <+Tigerman> yep I have similar problem
[10:00:45] <@wrbtrader> Than they decided to correct the problem around 10am est and that crashed their servers...

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

#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 NYMEX Energy Futures Light Crude Oil CL, Brent Crude Oil BRN, e-miNY QM and Natural Gas NG

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.
