#TheStrategyLab is free along with being a serious professional trading chat room involving WRB Analysis and any trader can use the chat room to post their real-time trades, real-time price action analysis or market commentaries involving stocks, 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, price action analysis or market commentaries in comparison to other free chat rooms.

#TheStrategyLab is primarily designed to be only 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 and this gives them a better understanding of 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 (beginners and experience) that are merging WRB Analysis with their trade methods or using WRB Analysis to develop a better understanding of the price action (market context) they're trading...improving their position size management and trade management after entry.

Also, if you want #TheStrategyLab chat room to be educational for you...please ask questions instead of lurking (not participating in conversations).

Quote:
Traders that use #TheStrategyLab are not required to post trades but if you do post trades...the trades must be clear (not ambiguous) entry price/exit price and position size. Traders that consistently post ambiguous trades will be KICKED (removed) from the chat room.

With that said, thanks for reading the trades, price action analysis 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 market context information that's critical to understanding the price action you're trading. To log into #TheStrategyLab chat room...please follow the instructions here at the FTCHAT Support Forum @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum/viewforum.php?f=5 or for registered members of the chat room at the TSL Support Forum @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum/viewforum.php?f=164

Note: Registration is not allowed here at the FTCHAT Forum...it is allowed at the TSL Forum (link above) that provides support for the #TheStrategyLab chat room.

[12:02:17] <Brian> why did you want to avoid the 940-942 range?
[12:02:27] <+Tigerman> we are at the lower band of that mentioned WRB
[12:03:01] <@wrbtrader> Brian...too much volatility contraction that occurred inside that WRB HG range...
[12:03:56] <@wrbtrader> volatility contraction like that and shows a reaction when price nears the S area...
[12:04:15] <@wrbtrader> I don't want to take Short positions near that S area as I just did :(

[13:45:12] <@wrbtrader> This entire week and in here...feels like traders are on vacation :)
[13:45:26] <@wrbtrader> Just not much happening this week.
[13:47:07] <+Brian> there's always the olmpics to watch..for a few more days at least

[14:47:44] <+Brian> how many charts to you have up at one time?
[15:01:15] <@wrbtrader> Brian...if you have a specific question...
[15:01:30] <@wrbtrader> you need to post the name of the user name with the question
[15:01:46] <@wrbtrader> Because some of us aren't really in here
[15:02:20] <@wrbtrader> What I mean is that some in here are elsewhere posting trades and those trades are then "relayed" into here
[15:02:36] <@wrbtrader> I do that sometimes via market commentaries only but not trades.
[15:03:22] <@wrbtrader> Thus, sometimes I post in another chat and my messages are auto sent in #TheStrategyLab via the "/amsg" command as an example
[15:03:47] <@wrbtrader> Simply, many times I won't know you have a specific message for me or for anyone else if you don't include the user name.
[15:04:11] <@wrbtrader> The user name makes a beeping sound for me whenever someone saids "wrbtrader"
[15:04:36] <@wrbtrader> That then prompts me to open my #TheStrategyLab window to see the message
[15:05:58] <@wrbtrader> To answer your question assuming its for me...right now I have up the Emini TF, IWM, NQ, CL, 6E, DAX, RUT, RUA, RUI and NYSE/Nasdaq AD line charts
[15:06:57] <@wrbtrader> I have different templates of charts that I can bring up via one click of the mouse
[15:46:13] <@wrbtrader> price action in different key markets not insync but trying hard to do it
[15:53:40] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 800.70 -> large size
[15:53:49] <@wrbtrader> 4+2
[15:54:53] <@wrbtrader> geeesh
[15:56:21] <@wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached at the same time of the Olympics Mens 200 meter race :)
[15:56:25] <@wrbtrader> gotta watch it
[15:56:56] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 799.90 --> + 0.8
[15:57:21] <@wrbtrader> early exit because of the race
[16:04:05] <@wrbtrader> the volatility spike took price back up inside the price area of the most recent volatility contraction
[16:04:30] <@wrbtrader> I'm done trading for the day
[16:05:18] <@wrbtrader> will now watch the U.S. versus Japan soccer game (2nd half)

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

#TheStrategyLab is free and is a serious professional trading chat room involving WRB Analysis in which any trader can use the chat room to post their trades or commentaries about stocks, 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. Yet, the only requirement is that you want to learn WRB Analysis.

Therefore, we welcome all traders that want to learn about WRB Analysis regardless if they are beginners or experience

The purpose of #TheStrategyLab 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 stocks, 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 #TheStrategyLab.

Reminder, our Terms of Use (TOU) Policy is a must read to prevent any misunderstandings along with revealing that #TheStrategyLab 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.
