#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

[13:22:20] <andyl913> Hello. I am new in the room. I just installed the mIRC software and want to make sure I am connected.
[13:22:34] <@wrbtrader> Merry XMas and a Happy New Year to those still here hanging out in the chat room during the holidays
[13:23:30] <@wrbtrader> By the way, we've had an unusual number of forum registrations via the Comcast.net ISP...
[13:23:46] <+andyl913> Merry Christmas to you too.
[13:23:55] <+andyl913> really? you mean today or lately?
[13:23:57] <@wrbtrader> Hi Andy...welcome.
[13:24:03] <+andyl913> Thank you!
[13:24:12] <@wrbtrader> Andy...lately it's been happening.
[13:24:32] <@wrbtrader> In fact, 98% of the new forum registrations have been Comcast.net lately
[13:24:44] <@wrbtrader> That's a big RED FLAG that something odd is happening.
[13:26:01] <+andyl913> Wow, that's interesting. I would have no idea. I just found your site on Google this morning and thought I'd check it out. Started trading futures last week.
[13:26:12] <@wrbtrader> Comcast must have a monopoly on traders :)
[13:26:43] <+andyl913> Are the registrations from the east coast US? I'm from Florida.
[13:26:58] <@wrbtrader> All over the U.S.
[13:29:54] <@wrbtrader> Odd thing is all of the new registrations aren't in the chat room the same time...just one or two.
[13:30:10] <@wrbtrader> If they were all in here at the same time like we currently are...
[13:30:38] <+andyl913> that's weird.
[13:30:39] <@wrbtrader> We'll have about 15 new members in here in comparison to what you see now.
[13:30:51] <+andyl913> are there traders trading in here around the clock or just during US sessions?
[13:31:08] <@wrbtrader> Mainly during the U.S. sessions
[13:31:43] <@wrbtrader> A few are in here overnight but never post...they're located in Europe...but they're rarely here during the holiday season
[13:32:30] <@wrbtrader> Usually the chat room doesn't start picking in activity again until a few days after January (New Year)
[13:33:16] <@wrbtrader> I've already gotten about 4 emails from regular users of the chat room that said they're on holiday vacation...not expected to return until early January
[13:34:32] <+andyl913> Ok. I will probably take it easy as well but may still trade a little next week. haven't decided yet
[13:34:50] <@wrbtrader> Light Crude Oil CL futures trying hard to push higher
[13:34:53] <+andyl913> I've never traded the russel 2000, only S&P future.
[13:35:57] <@wrbtrader> EuroFX 6E futures still in volatility contraction (range day).
[13:36:34] <@wrbtrader> In fact, EuroFX 6E futures or Forex EurUsd have been making most of their directional price movements PRIOR to the U.S. regular session hours.
[13:37:35] <@wrbtrader> I know a few traders that only trade Forex EurUsd, Oil CL futures and EuroFX 6E futures in the early morning hours and call it quits by 0930am est during the holiday season.
[13:38:02] <+andyl913> Forex trading is much easier during Euro session for me. my buddy and i scalped aout 80 pips last night. he only trades euro session. he always loses US session
[13:38:08] <@wrbtrader> Just not enough trade opportunities or the price action not really tradable after 0930am est
[13:38:09] <+andyl913> watching ES for possible entry
[13:38:16] <+andyl913> i agree.
[13:38:57] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...I use to do the same about 10 years ago...traded them in the early morning or overnight trading session ONLY
[13:39:24] <+andyl913> long ES 1248.5
[13:40:58] <+andyl913> i'm taking a chance trading a new instrument during holidays lol but we will see what happens. only playing 1 contract anyway
[13:41:09] <+andyl913> so you've been trading for a long time?
[13:42:03] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...long enough to know I should take the entire month of December off from trading because it's one of the WORST seasonal price actions to trade :)
[13:42:35] <+andyl913> Haha. it would probably be wise of me to follow your rule on that :)
[13:43:24] <@wrbtrader> Next year I already put a plan in place to force myself to take off from December...
[13:43:38] <@wrbtrader> Will be going to Europe and U.S. to visit family
[13:46:15] <+andyl913> that sounds like a great plan
[13:46:46] <@wrbtrader> It's about the only time when everybody has a few weeks off from their jobs at the same time
[13:46:49] <+andyl913> this is my 3nd december trading. i should have learned by now too
[13:47:02] <+andyl913> that's very true
[13:47:28] <@wrbtrader> Just remember this...
[13:47:51] <@wrbtrader> There's a TON of hype about how much the ALGOs and program trading controls the markets.
[13:48:16] <@wrbtrader> If such were true...we wouldn't see the extreme drop off in volatility during the holiday seasons :)
[13:48:30] <@wrbtrader> Simply, computers don't go on vacation :)
[13:48:40] <@wrbtrader> Only real traders do.
[13:49:53] <@wrbtrader> Thus, real traders control the markets...not the ALGOs
[13:49:53] <+andyl913> thats true. i know that there was a big deal in the news a while back about high freq auto trading
[13:50:01] <@wrbtrader> Yep
[13:59:40] <+andyl913> sorry forgot to post my bail on ES. 1248.25. only made 1/4 pt lol
[13:59:44] <+andyl913> better tha losing
[14:04:22] <@wrbtrader> Emini TF volatility trying hard to increase
[14:04:40] <@wrbtrader> WRB Hidden GAP @ 1358pm est
[14:06:47] <T4n_paper> if it creeps I'll give it a good go
[14:09:52] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 743.60 -> small size

[14:10:44] <+andyl913> you trading 1/2012 on TF?
[14:11:37] <@wrbtrader> I'll be trading in January...very limited the first 10 days.
[14:12:16] <+andyl913> oh i'm sorry i meant the contract. jan 2012 contracts?
[14:12:25] <@wrbtrader> Will be back on normal trading schedule January 9th Monday
[14:13:14] <+T4n_paper> Shorts TF @ 743.6 -> medium size «« simulator »»
[14:14:32] <+T4n_paper> early entry
[14:14:50] <@wrbtrader> January contract ? There is no Jan contract for Emini TF
[14:15:24] <@wrbtrader> There's only March = H, June = M, September = U and December = Z
[14:15:55] <@wrbtrader> We just recently had a rollover into the December contract
[14:15:56] <+andyl913> i was wondering. for some reason there is a selection for that in Interactive Brokers
[14:16:33] <@wrbtrader> Exited Emini TF Long @ 743.30 --> - 0.3
[14:16:33] <@wrbtrader> Reverse and Enter Short Emini TF @ 743.30

[14:17:07] <+T4n_paper> Covered TF Short @ 743.4 --> + 0.2 «« simulator »»
[14:17:23] <+T4n_paper> stop
[14:20:45] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 743.80 --> - 0.5
[14:20:49] <@wrbtrader> At least it tried to do something to get out of the volatility contraction
[14:22:26] <@wrbtrader> Oil and Gold futures also stuck in volatilit contraction
[14:25:32] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 744.10 -> small size
[14:25:58] <@wrbtrader> 744 to 743.10 is the volatility contraction range
[14:26:01] <@wrbtrader> 2 contracts

[14:28:19] <@wrbtrader> sucked back down...contraction like a magnet
[14:30:50] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 744.10 --> 0
[14:33:41] <+T4n_paper> Shorts TF @ 744.1 -> medium size «« simulator »»

[14:49:19] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 743.50 --> - 0.8
[14:49:55] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 742.60 -> medium size
[14:50:18] <@wrbtrader> Emini YM spiked down first...followed by Emini TF, ES and NQ
[14:50:37] <@wrbtrader> Gold GC futures also involved in the spike
[14:51:15] <@wrbtrader> 2+2
[14:51:41] <@wrbtrader> volatility increasing after the volatilit contraction support failure
[14:51:51] <@wrbtrader> meant "still increasing"
[14:52:43] <@wrbtrader> geeesh
[14:53:22] <@wrbtrader> TF trying to fight its way back up into the prior area of volatility contraction
[14:57:54] <@wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[14:58:11] <@wrbtrader> getting jumpy now
[14:58:30] <+andyl913> you think it'll test 740?
[14:58:46] <+andyl913> made a couple nice trades on it
[15:00:25] <@wrbtrader> It'll be tough because its a "low volatilty range day"
[15:01:54] <@wrbtrader> 741 is a pivot area I saw mentioned a few times on stocktwits during that big congestion (contraction) between 1030am - 12noon est
[15:02:42] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 742.20 --> + 0.4
[15:03:50] <@wrbtrader> I tighten that trail stop too soon :(
[15:04:17] <+andyl913> how much of a trailing stop do you usually make on TF?
[15:04:51] <@wrbtrader> I don't use fix stops
[15:05:21] <@wrbtrader> different every trade and I adjust them (trail) for any reason...depending upon what I see in the price action at the moment
[15:05:29] <+andyl913> ok
[15:06:00] <@wrbtrader> Lets put it this way, I do not allow my original stop loss to get hit
[15:06:25] <@wrbtrader> It's auto enter upon entry at -2 for today
[15:06:44] <@wrbtrader> I then immediately begin adjusting that stop loss after entry
[15:07:32] <@wrbtrader> tightening it...making it smaller and smaller and smaller as the price action changes.
[15:08:19] <@wrbtrader> Today I've been getting hit on most of my trades at -0.7 for the losers
[15:09:17] <@wrbtrader> Thus, I've been able to ajust my stop by 1.3 on average per trade from the original -2
[15:10:38] <@wrbtrader> If I can keep my losers at -0.8 or less...I have statistically a 97% chance of concluding the trading day at a profit.

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

#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.

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.
