#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 @

[09:51:02] <@wrbtrader> tight range just got tighter
[09:51:31] <+Trendtrader> agreed, contracting vol.

[09:58:02] <+Trendtrader> Covered Remainder Emini TF Short @ 703.2 --> + 0.1 «« simulator »»
[09:58:16] <+Trendtrader> tough trading
[09:58:56] <@wrbtrader> The contraction was obvious...its a "choice" to trade it or not.
[09:59:21] <@wrbtrader> Usually I don't trade it with size but felt like today I could manage it if I kepted the losses small (tight).
[09:59:49] <@wrbtrader> Wasn't able to do that...couldn't keep them -0.5 or less
[10:00:59] <@wrbtrader> Emini NQ still stuck in it's tight trading range...it never left it while Emini TF briefly dropped below the same low volatility tight trading range
[10:01:12] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 703.20 -> medium size
[10:01:18] <@wrbtrader> 2+2
[10:01:42] <@wrbtrader> Emini NQ trying hard now to participate in that breakdown below the contraction
[10:02:19] <@wrbtrader> I'm still Shorting the same price action as my original (first trade)
[10:02:37] <@wrbtrader> Thus, all trades since the first one were intuition re-entries
[10:04:04] <+boomslang> nice entry
[10:04:42] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 702.70 --> + 0.5
[10:04:52] <@wrbtrader> It's
hard to stay up
[10:05:28] <+boomslang> yup, no clear direction so far
[10:05:29] <@wrbtrader> I think I've hammered at it enough...
[10:05:45] <@wrbtrader> Sidelined and will wait for the next trade signal to hammer at.
[10:06:09] <+wave1> y looks like ..dont want to come down
[10:06:20] <+wave1> same prob as yesterday IB stuck
[10:07:51] <+wave1> atleast my feed is not from IB data
[10:14:44] <@wrbtrader> Other key markets not in sync as Emini TF tries for a support failure again

[10:37:32] <@wrbtrader> There's only ONE wrb hidden gap today and right now it may retrace
[10:38:10] <@wrbtrader> I have a rule of thumb that if there's LESS than 3 WRB Hidden GAPs...it's a tough trading day.

-------------------------
#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=5The 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:

ICE Emini TF Futures (formerly CME ER2)
CBOT mini-sized Dow Futures YM
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. Best Regards,
