#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

[09:57:17] <+rickf> ok that would have been a good trade but was smart not to risk it

[10:22:58] <+rickf> yaaawwwwn
[10:23:24] <+rickf> action like this makes me glad i'm not trading every day these days (no offense)
[10:25:24] <YMer2> ss tf 819.5 SL 820.5
[10:25:53] <T_182> Plenty of action in 6E.
[10:25:57] <@wrbtrader> rickf...you returned during the worst price action of the Year so far.
[10:26:16] <+rickf> past 2 weeks looked ugly
[10:26:20] <@wrbtrader> Things were flying for most of the year until recently
[10:26:58] <+rickf> Yes, the 6E is a backup for me ... been position trading that for a while
[10:27:17] <+rickf> don't worry, it's back to work on monday, so the normal action shall resume for you. :)
[10:30:24] * Retrieving #FuturesTrades modes...
[10:30:57] <+T_182> Thanks Rick, appreciate the help! LOL
[10:31:23] <+rickf> ;) actually forgot about looking @ the /6E this week ... you're right about the intraday action
[10:31:35] <+rickf> so used to thinking "longer term" these past few months
[10:32:06] <+T_182> Yah, I'm pretty much exclusive to that anymore although I will jump over to other currency futures when 6e is flat
[10:32:50] <+rickf> I may end up there myself -- the ES is too 'gamed' by the bots, and the TF's jumpyness bothers me.
[10:33:14] <+T_182> That's what i thought as well
[10:33:40] <@wrbtrader> Good volatility the past 5 mins
[10:33:56] <@wrbtrader> not great but a lot better than prior to that
[10:42:36] <@wrbtrader> Emini TF within a key price area now
[10:43:48] <+rickf> bbl
[10:59:30] <+YMer2> ss TF 827 SL 828

[11:38:09] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 828.00 --> + 0.2
[11:38:36] <@wrbtrader> didn't have much of a wiggle room in that trade
[11:38:40] <@wrbtrader> had to keep it tight
[11:39:30] <@wrbtrader> that's the nature of trading within "low volatility tight trading range" since 1110am est
[11:39:54] <Time4now> did you catch any of that earlier price rise?
[11:40:07] <@wrbtrader> No...wasn't trading then
[11:40:32] <@wrbtrader> spent the time on the telephone with my tax accountant
[11:40:43] <+Time4now> oh boy
[11:47:15] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 828.10 -> large size
[11:47:21] <@wrbtrader> 3+3
[11:48:02] <@wrbtrader> intuition
[11:48:41] <@wrbtrader> reaction to prior trade
[11:54:36] <@wrbtrader> weird tick action or I just had a data stall
[11:54:58] <@wrbtrader> tick went from 829.30 to 829.60
[11:54:59] <@wrbtrader> :(
[11:57:54] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 829.20 --> + 1.1
[12:04:08] <+rickf> back for a bit
[12:19:20] <+T_182> I keep missing these moves on 6E, ugh!
[12:21:59] <+rickf> i think that was because there was some more euro debt downgrade
[12:23:15] <+T_182> Understand that but the things were telling it was going down anyway, the news just kinda kicked off the slope
[12:23:31] <+T_182> I get nervous around the 200 sma
[12:27:43] <+rickf> there's always another trade
[12:27:45] <+rickf> ;)

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

#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

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.
