#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.

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

![smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_chatsmile.gif)
[13:45:26] <@wrbtrader> Just not much happening this week.

[14:46:19] <@X> #TheStrategyLab -> Chat room for traders that are using concepts from WRB Analysis to help improve their entry signals, initial stop/loss management, profitable trail stops or profit targets. WRB Analysis free study guide @
http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum ... =119&t=718[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
![smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_chatsmile.gif)
[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)

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.
