#FuturesTrades December 22nd Friday 2006 Trade Log
#FuturesTrades is a private and free realtime trading posting chat room on the IRC Othernet server that allows traders from all over the world to communicate.
Click here for the instructions on gaining access to #FuturesTrades.
In addition, trades posted by members of #FuturesTrades in the below trade post chat log are by traders that do not have access to TheStrategyLab.com strategies except for NihabaAshi.
Fee-based clients of TheStrategyLab.com strategies use the private IRC rooms called #TheStrategyLab and #SwingTradingTSL.
Further, you'll find below the chat room time stamped text log of realtime trades (real money and simulator) that were posted by full-time, part-time traders from around the world and the timestamp is eastern standard time (est).
Also, below NihabaAshi's trading blog like comments, you can read the time stamped trades (prices, entries, exits et cetera) and market discussions that sometimes contains trading tips or insights that are more useful than what you will see at any other futures blog or chat room.
Trading Blog Below is not your traditional trader's blog in the usual blog format. However, you will find informative commentary on a few occasions as time permits and such will contain trading tips that should help your trading as I attempt to sum up my thoughts for the trading day.

OK, it doesn't count much but this is what I'd do (and do now) as a day trader: 14:49 Did my last post appear, on Scientist? 14:57 <RussellDaytrade> not yet <Brutus> Rules from Scirntist on ET What is my personal advice then? OK, it doesn't count much but this is what I'd do (and do now) as a day trader: <RussellDaytrade> i think that guy's in Sydney, in case you wanna call him 14:58 <Brutus> is naked price, volume and occassional S&R tools, i.e. support lines or sth, that's it.Indicators do nothing but clog up charts and bias your decision, on top of that lagging. The past is completely irrelevant. Avoid them like the pest. In the very end of it all, even charts don't matter. Then all that matters is T&S / the tape. 15:03 Can you see the first part? <RussellDaytrade> i read some of his posts, a month or so ago, i think he set up in Sydney, maybe he's just down the street from you. 15:04 <Brutus> No dont know what hes up to now, was setting up some business in hes last post. 15:05 <RussellDaytrade> amy be worth tracking him down, if he is relatively nearby 15:06 <Brutus> I think these successful guys get hounded enough. They are not going to give out their hard earned knowlege to anyone. 15:07 Sponsor: <RussellDaytrade> all i see is whats posted at 13:03, (my time)...."is naked price, volume"...if there was some more prior to that, it didn't post. 15:08 true, but he may be hiring! can always look up on ET if you recall the date of post 15:10 <Brutus> !st part :) 15:11 <RussellDaytrade> looks like they're emarging from the cellar, mitigate the damage a little. <Brutus> Yes was a hold until the close long 15:12 <RussellDaytrade> looks like the grinch showed back up 15:22 <X> #FuturesTrades Info -> Chat room for realtime trade posting by traders of Emini Futures (ER2, ES, NQ, YM), EuroFX Futures (EC), Eurex Derivatives (DAX, ESTX50), Euronext Futures (FTSE100, CAC40), Treasury Futures (ZF, ZN, ZB), NYMEX Futures (CL, NG, HO, QM) and Exchange Traded Funds (DIA, GLD, IWM, OIH, QQQQ, SPY) 15:24 <Brutus> Have a good Christmas everyone, cu Tuesday 16:06 * DisconnectedSession Close: Fri Dec 21 16:19:40 2006 19:13
