#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

[10:28:25] <+Trendtrader> thx. Gotta tell you though, it was stressfull and had to be really patient!

[10:30:18] <+Sidhartha> TT, are those just on simulator...?
[10:31:31] <+Trendtrader> yes sid, they are, I've been incorporating lots that I learn here and changing my approach, so sim for sure.
[10:32:21] <+Trendtrader> I've destroyed more than one account in the past because I thought I was ready and I wasn't.
[10:33:24] <+Sidhartha> ok
[10:33:26] <+Sidhartha> cool
[10:33:49] <+Sidhartha> I was gonna say, if that was stressful in sim imagine the stress with real money on the line!

[10:37:11] <+pat255> vn N
[10:37:34] <+Tigerman> nice wrbtrader
[10:40:05] <+Tigerman> hi sid and tt about sim
[10:40:30] <+Tigerman> of course real money on line is more stressfull
[10:41:38] <+Tigerman> but if treat with respect and act in sim like with real money is a great tool
[10:41:57] <+Tigerman> and the stress sim vs real can be similar
[10:42:15] <+Tigerman> simply many consider sim a game while is not
[10:42:50] <+Tigerman> also spread an order fill can diverge between sim and real of course
[10:43:16] <+Sidhartha> Tiger, I think most people find it very hard to replicate the stress of real trading in sim... I know I do
[10:44:19] <+Sidhartha> for example, in TT's previous trade, if that was me I know when the market spiked down to 862.2 I would have felt enormous pressure to cut that long IF it was real money...
[10:44:34] <+Sidhartha> I wouldn't have felt anything like that pressure in sim
[10:45:50] <+pat255> S nq 2413
[10:47:59] <+Tigerman> yes Sid I understand what you mean
[10:48:14] <+pat255> out -1
[10:48:15] <+pat255> :(
[10:48:46] <+Tigerman> for as I know I am one of the few can replcate real money stress on sim :)
[10:50:30] <+Tigerman> of course I mean a sim not paper trade,sometimes in paper you can cheat
[10:58:56] <+pat255> 865.1 looked like s on Tf but now below it
[11:14:36] <+Tigerman> I exit see all next time

[12:01:18] <Time4now> well since i'm here in afghanistan, I can tell you that the news on Osama is a lie

[12:08:30] <+Time4now> I expected the market to be bullish considering the news

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

#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 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.
