#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 @

[15:08:47] <+BudFox> Low should be @1198
[15:13:34] <@wrbtrader> Using hindsight...that range between 1140am - 1500pm est was just a "low volatility tight trading range" of a Creeper Down Movement
[15:15:25] <@wrbtrader> Hindsight still "useful"...reason why I'm still Short on the remainging contract
[15:18:05] <@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
[15:19:17] <+BudFox> the low will be retested between 3:30 and 4:00
[15:19:44] <+BudFox> have been holding a single contract short since the open
[15:21:19] * t4n_gone is now known as t4n
[15:22:37] <@wrbtrader> Creeper Down Movement developing again
[15:23:36] <@wrbtrader> This runner makes up for the missed trade opportunity (Short) around 1402pm est when I was out doing Xmas Shopping
[15:24:18] <+t4n> I tried it
[15:25:32] <@wrbtrader> t4n...I just checked the log...why did you have problems hanging on to those
[15:25:37] <@wrbtrader> Short positions
[15:25:38] <@wrbtrader>
[15:25:52] <+t4n> let me check
[15:26:36] <+t4n> The volatility kept kicking me right on entry
[15:26:57] <+t4n> and some long shadows against me
[15:27:21] <@wrbtrader> I understand because it did that to me in the Short position (loser) before my current position
[15:27:56] <@wrbtrader> I thought I had a great entry and then it did a "volatility spike" against me.
[15:28:33] <+t4n> well if it's tough for you, it's certainly tough for me
[15:28:55] <@wrbtrader> Lets put it this way...
[15:29:05] <+t4n> smaller pain threshold
[15:29:22] <@wrbtrader> Every year I tell myself I'm going to take off from trading the "entire month of December from December 1st - 31st"
[15:29:46] <@wrbtrader> Reason...December is notoriously tough for "volatility traders".
[15:30:36] <@wrbtrader> I usually get shaken out of "a lot" of trades in December that I normally don't get taken out of any other time of the year.
[15:31:04] <+t4n> i see
[15:31:35] <@wrbtrader> I just try to survive the first 3 weeks of December before I got into "vacation mode".
[15:31:58] <@wrbtrader> Will be doing very little trading between December 21st - 31st.
[15:32:35] <+t4n> yeah, i'd expect strange action around christmas time
[15:32:37] <@wrbtrader> BudFox...geeesh...you nailed the time duration of the price drop to test the lows.
[15:32:53] <@wrbtrader> nice
[15:34:58] <@wrbtrader> Covered Remainder Emini TF Short @ 704.70 --> + 7
[15:36:14] <+t4n> nice indeed
[15:49:56] <@wrbtrader> 4pm est rush hour traffic around the corner
[15:55:15] <+t4n> Long TF @ 704.5 -> small size «« simulator »»
[15:57:09] <+t4n> Exited TF Long @ 705 --> + 0.5 «« simulator »»
[15:59:13] <@wrbtrader> Poor volatility so far going into the 4pm est rush hour traffic
[16:04:43] <+t4n> Long TF @ 705.1 -> small size «« simulator »»

#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.

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.

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.
