#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

[10:29:48] <@wrbtrader> Wow...I just took a look at the overnight maintenance requirement of Comex Silver futures...
[10:29:51] <@wrbtrader> 16k
[10:29:53] <@wrbtrader> geeesh
[10:30:29] <@wrbtrader> In contrast...Emini TF is about 3.5k per contract
[10:33:46] <+Tigerman> so a sollecitation to overleverage...
[10:39:37] <@wrbtrader> I know Silver futures has been a wild ride the past year but the high requirement implies also that their trying to control the speculators
[10:40:48] <@wrbtrader> Although Silver futures volatility has dropped dramatically the past month or so.
[10:41:29] <@wrbtrader> Feb to early May has been a wild ride
[10:42:21] <+Tigerman> Silver was in delay vs gold so last hour speculators jump on silver
[10:44:29] <@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
[11:27:10] <+elf2> ndx 5 min intraday looking like a H & S
[11:28:49] <+elf2> i heard some blurb about trading in silver will be banned in the usa in july
[11:42:26] <@wrbtrader> They usually over-react whenever they see any particular futures trading instrument make new highs on extreme volatility of 1 year or less duration
[12:03:33] <+elf2> stc 1 vix 7/20P +$40, bought several last thurs
[12:14:29] <@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
[12:35:14] <+Tigerman> Mark you deserve a lot of succes you are so devote to trading ..
[12:41:48] <@wrbtrader> Well...that past week I've been putting personal stuff that needed to be resolved instead of trading
[12:43:11] <@wrbtrader> Regardless...I try to average about 2 - 4 no trade days per month...time off from trading just to relax or get personal stuff done.
[12:43:49] <@wrbtrader> If I exceed 4 none trading days...usually that means I'm trying to recover from a little burnt out.
[12:45:16] <ajax> why I take all mondays off, for the most part...... :))
[12:45:20] <@wrbtrader> Longest length of time I had away from trading was about 8 months due to a death in the family.
[12:46:27] <@wrbtrader> ajax...yeah...that's a good plan...have a designated day off every week as a routine...same day.
[12:47:40] <+ajax> :)).....great minds, or surviving minds, think alike.....lolll
[12:48:07] <@wrbtrader> In contrast, when I was single and in my 20's...
[12:48:30] <@wrbtrader> I could party with the girlfriend most of the night and still get up and be ready to trade most of the day :)
[12:49:01] <+ajax> ya today is my look at charts, get errands done (as will in a bit here, as still 9:50am here)....& get mind back into game after weekend aways from puter screens to rest the eyes.... :))
[12:49:07] <+ajax> lol
[12:49:07] <+Tigerman> I have better idea take every day off from market and live as rentier :)
[12:49:14] <+ajax> lol
[12:49:47] <+ajax> ya me 59yo.....so need the what's left beauti rest....lol
[12:50:07] <+Tigerman> if a stay to long away from market I find difficult restart
[12:50:44] <@wrbtrader> Anyways, this weekend, my kids and I saw someone with a sign downtown that said the "world will end in 2012/repent now"
[12:50:55] <+Tigerman> like in sport miss some train is ok too long I not performing well
[12:51:02] <@wrbtrader> :)
[12:51:34] <@wrbtrader> Thus, I'm going to expect a lot of volatility next year.
[12:51:49] <@wrbtrader> wild trading sessions
[12:52:01] <+Tigerman> what I repent is to have done more when in time...
[12:52:01] <+ajax> true.....why I do chart review on Sunday night, after 2 days off, for mind & eyes....then Monday is above plus checkin time for charts......& read article of over a century of stat reviews, that best trading days are Tuesday thru Thrsday, with Friday as floater boom/bust day.....so why I take Mondays off
[12:52:36] <DynamicFx> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_phenomenon
[12:53:30] <@wrbtrader> :)
[12:55:12] <@wrbtrader> I'm hoping we as traders can exploit the pending volatility of 2012...
[12:55:22] <@wrbtrader> Will be a dying (cough) shame if we didn't.
[12:55:42] <+ajax> lol....actually the Mayan calendar as the public has clamped onto this '2012' date is wrong.....Prof Arguirre, whi deciphered the Mayan alphabet back in the 70's, then retracted the 2012 date, as he miscalculated/translated....that it was/IS 2008!!!......& is NOT a dtae, but a start time period for the earth chnages, that will be over a period of time.....SOOOOO....we in it now!!!!.....why
[12:55:42] <+ajax> the crazy weather past few years & gonna get worse.......
[12:56:33] <+ajax> but the Media stuck to '2012'.....so the sheep follow......bahhhh bahhhh....lol
[12:57:36] <@wrbtrader> Well...I don't care what the "eschatology" meaning is...
[12:58:04] <@wrbtrader> I do know we have some UNUSUAL natural disaster events occurred so far this year.
[12:58:14] <@wrbtrader> have = HAD
[12:58:46] <@wrbtrader> Most of them have been followed by increased volatility in the markets
[12:59:01] <+ajax> some of it, actuaslly much of it is man/Govt made....HAARP project.....look it up....is for real.....as I know as have freinds in dark places & verified.....
[12:59:42] <+DynamicFx> that's what I think...if anything happens in 2012, it will be a false flag event
[13:00:07] <+ajax> so, all makes for a volatile wolrd & we can profit from knowing & acting on it....that is the good part of 'seeing' the truths.... :))
[13:00:41] <+ajax> yes Dyn....exactly....that is a fact from sources!!!!
[13:01:23] <+ajax> have a three letter agency friend, in for 30+ years, verrrrry hi level....great intel.... :))
[13:01:40] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...sad to say whenever something big happens...many big trade opportunities appear in the markets
[13:02:05] <+ajax> & know the Maryland puter servers scan for certain words 24/7....so not type it here.... :))
[13:02:15] <+ajax> y
[13:02:24] <+ajax> insiders know
[13:02:28] <+DynamicFx> I've got my tinfoil hat on, it's ok
[13:04:00] <@wrbtrader> I mention before that someone posted a parallel mapping of natural and man made disasters with the Dow Jones price movements.
[13:04:03] <+ajax> lol
[13:04:20] <+ajax> interesting
[13:04:29] <@wrbtrader> It was scary how the volatility showed up so close "after" the event and the changes in put/call ratios
[13:04:45] <@wrbtrader> I think it was Time Magazine that first publish the chart
[13:05:16] <+ajax> insider intel & govt contacts.....same old who ya know game....always has been, always will.....way of human nature....
[13:06:02] <+ajax> just like 911....an inside job all the way....have that verified....
[13:08:42] <+ajax> that plane that went down in Penn.....which no wreckage debri or bodies....ya rt......well got a call that day from a 'source', that the exact plane & tail numbers!!!!... touched down in US ar base in cnetral USA, & thew base was cleared of all personnnel on landing & all folks taken off....only one person saw it all, the base commander, = a freind of my freind, who called him right

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

#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 because sometimes the answers contains useful trading tips.

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 COMEX Metal Futures Gold GC, mini-Gold YG, Copper HG and Silver SI

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.
