#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

[13:03:17] <@wrbtrader> We're now in the "dead zone" of the trading day
[13:03:55] <@wrbtrader> I expect the price action to slow down now or go into creeper mode unless a key market event shows up.

[13:34:27] <@wrbtrader> CNBC, Bloomberg and European financial networks following Obama's current speech...
[13:34:42] <@wrbtrader> discussion is the Debt Ceiling
[13:34:52] <+Time4now> oh

[16:16:58] <Zr1Trader> Hi all , my first post therefore I am making a commentary on the market. Dow had a strong 200pt up day ahead of highly anticipated apple earnings.
[16:34:48] <+Zr1Trader> Testing... NQ has created a WRB Hidden Gap on 60 min chart 2366 to 2379.50
[16:41:06] <@wrbtrader> Hi Zr1Trader...welcome.
[16:42:49] <+Zr1Trader> Hi, thanks good to be here.
[16:43:11] <@wrbtrader> The room dies after 4pm est.
[16:43:29] <+Zr1Trader> Ok
[16:43:53] <@wrbtrader> It's open 24/7...when the room goes back to full strength by the end of the month...you'll see more traders in here after 4pm est.
[16:44:16] <@wrbtrader> Yet, its mainly US RTH session.
[16:44:37] <+Zr1Trader> I read some contradicting info that I would like to clarify on. It says somewhere that FVB wuestions should be done on the tsl supprt forum but the other day I believe you said to ask those questions here. Which would you prefer?
[16:44:52] <@wrbtrader> Many years ago it use to be mainly European session...mostly Eurex, Euronext and Asia futures traders.
[16:45:05] <+Zr1Trader> ah I see
[16:45:51] <@wrbtrader> I marketed it hard to attract North American traders and for some odd reason...the Asian traders slowly went away...mainly because I myself stop showing up late at night (I'm Canada eastern time)
[16:46:44] <+Zr1Trader> When I have an FVB question should I ask here or on TSL support forum?
[16:47:24] <@wrbtrader> You can ask it here and if you don't get a reply...post it again at the TSL Support Forum.
[16:47:45] <@wrbtrader> By the way, I'm about to post another FVB chart at the TSL Support Forum.
[16:49:07] <+Zr1Trader> Ok sounds good , well I will be back here tomorrow morning , I have some reading to do on how to setup scripts ect. Have a good evening.
[16:50:25] <@wrbtrader> For the free users...chart posted @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum ... 132&t=1150
[16:51:04] <@wrbtrader> Take care...I'm outta here too.

[17:35:54] <+Zr1Trader> Exited 1/3 Emini ES Long @ 1400 --> + 100
[17:38:58] <+Zr1Trader> Question. Do I have to change the instrament in the "variable" tab in scripts editor everytime I want to post a trade in a different instrament?
[17:39:23] <+Zr1Trader> Or is there a more simple way of doing this?
[17:41:06] <@wrbtrader_away> Yes...you need to change the instrument in the script if you want to post a trade via a different trading instrument.
[17:41:40] <@wrbtrader_away> I myself just leave it as is for my favorite trading instrument and do manual trade posts for other trading instruments.
[17:42:06] <@wrbtrader_away> Thus, only my primary trading instrument is via the script and everything else is just plain text...
[17:42:11] <@wrbtrader_away> For example...
[17:42:46] <@wrbtrader_away> Long DAX futures @ 7244
[17:43:00] <@wrbtrader_away> That's a plain text trade post without the script
[17:43:26] <@wrbtrader_away> Just a normal trade message
[17:47:27] <+Zr1Trader> Ok makes sense.
[17:55:52] <+Zr1Trader> away
[18:06:23] <Zr1Trader> how do I set an away status? I press (forwardslash)away and can't see anything happen?
[18:26:35] <@wrbtrader_away> type "/nick Zr1Trader_away" without the quotation marks
[18:27:11] <+Zr1Trader> ok 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 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:

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.
