#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/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=180

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

[09:43:19] <@wrbtrader> The Open of the WRB Hidden GAP @ 0910am est seemed like a profit target too far away...that's why I didn't use it.

[10:19:00] <tonye> morning
[10:20:13] <@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
[11:32:19] <@wrbtrader> I'm surprised ther'es very little discussion in here.
[11:32:43] <T4N_paper2> connection issues
[11:32:55] <@wrbtrader> As stated to get into #FuturesTrades members have AGREE to participate via talking about ANYTHING that's trading related.
[11:33:16] <@wrbtrader> Thus, you're NOT required to post trades but you are required to PARTICIPATE.
[11:33:58] <@wrbtrader> A month ago I BANNED about 12 members that REFUSED to participate...every one of them sent me a complaint AFTERWARDS that they didn't have anything to talk about.
[11:34:02] <@wrbtrader> That's B.S.
[11:34:45] <@wrbtrader> Anyways...as always...I give early heads up prior to doing more BANNING.
[11:34:57] <+pat255> sorry N no data here ..tried reboot the system still trying on my end ,,
[11:35:10] <@wrbtrader> pat255...nothing to be sorry about.
[11:35:26] <+pat255> this is so frustrating for me today ..today took 1/2 day off
[11:35:33] <@wrbtrader> Just the fact that you're saying you have data problems is PARTICIPATION
[11:35:42] <+pat255> & ran into this crap ..
[11:36:16] <+pat255> will ahve to call it day ...sigh
[11:36:29] <+pat255> later guys ..
[11:37:01] <@wrbtrader> By the way, I posted another chart yesterday night about a FVB signal (the free strategy at the TSL Support Forum)...
[11:37:11] <@wrbtrader> Chart @ http://chart.ly/ebymbm5
[11:38:17] * T4N_paper2 is now known as T4N_paper
[11:38:17] <+T4N_paper> whoa, that's some pullback
[11:38:23] <+T4N_paper> in your example
[11:40:29] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...had I shown more of the right side of the chart the pullback reached the WRB Zone
[11:40:33] <+T4N_paper> charts finally up :)
[11:41:26] <+T4N_paper> I was refering to the intervals right after entry
[11:41:39] <+T4N_paper> but it is not without its reentries
[11:48:49] <+T4N_paper> long med 679.0
[11:50:14] <@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
[11:52:47] <+T4N_paper> exit 1/2 679.6
[11:52:58] <+T4N_paper> exit rem 679.2
[11:56:51] <+T4N_paper> i hesitated on intuition re-entry
[11:57:06] <+T4N_paper> and now pt1 reached
[12:03:40] <+T4N_paper> ha, now my charts are down again
[12:04:09] <+T4N_paper> I'll just asume it made it to a pt5
[12:09:16] <daena> would pt5 be price retracing to fill 4 more previous wrb areas not yet filled?
[12:10:29] <+daena> (i have not yet read everything you gave me, wrbtrader)
[12:11:03] <+T4N_paper> sorry, I dont think I can answer that in here
[12:12:02] <+daena> ok, thks anyway!
[13:12:07] <@wrbtrader> daena...if you're asking me a question or someone else...
[13:12:43] <@wrbtrader> You're going to need to post their name in your question so that they know you're talking to them.
[13:13:27] <@wrbtrader> Also, if you have a question that goes "unanswered"...just post it at the forum.
[13:13:35] <@wrbtrader> It'll definitely get answered
[13:13:58] <@wrbtrader> The word pt = profit targets
[13:14:27] <@wrbtrader> It can be any of the concepts discussed in the tutorial chapter 1, 2 and 3 free study guide.
[13:15:33] <@wrbtrader> Thus, it could be a WRB at close, WRB eventhough the interval hasn't completed, WRB Hidden GAP, prior WRB Hidden GAP or prior WRB Zone (filled or unfilled)
[13:16:05] <@wrbtrader> Many different options to choose from that suits your trading style.
[13:16:45] <@wrbtrader> For me...profit targets above pt2 are usually via a higher interval because that implies I "think" I caught a trend.
[13:17:11] <@wrbtrader> For example, if I take a trade via the 3min chart...my pt1 and pt2 will be via the 3min chart.
[13:17:14] <@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
[13:17:44] <@wrbtrader> However, if I think I caught a trend...I will then move up to the 5min chart to manage the trade better to prevent LESSON and early exit.
[13:17:59] <@wrbtrader> Therefore, my pt3 and pt4 will be via the 5min chart.
[13:18:28] <@wrbtrader> Hopefully that answers your question
[13:24:21] <+daena> yes, thank you wrbtrader
[13:34:18] <T4N_paper> finaly got charts back :/
[13:55:17] <+T4N_paper> short med 679

[14:01:15] <@wrbtrader> There's a key change in supply/demand (WRB Hidden GAP) @ 1138am est
[14:01:39] <@wrbtrader> Emini TF futures currently trying to stay in it's price area
[14:03:33] <@wrbtrader> Oil CL futures trying to bounce off a recent swing point RANGE that contained a key change in supply/demand
[14:36:19] <@wrbtrader> Lots of volatility contractions since 1:30pm est

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

#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.
