#TheStrategyLab (formerly known as #FuturesTrades) 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.

[09:52:10] <+Tigerman> this kind of price action is dangerous expecially for me
[09:52:46] <+Tigerman> because I temped to enter,I like fast action
[09:53:14] <+Tigerman> so risk I enter also with no good signal due to impatience
[09:53:42] <+Tigerman> the waiting game is hard x me
[09:54:01] <@wrbtrader> An ugly day so far...settling now into price noise.
[09:54:54] <+Tigerman> yep seems the pattern for recent days maybe traders are still in holiday
[09:55:05] <canaandog> very like yesterday afternoon
[09:55:31] <+Tigerman> and waiti to enter in force after school re-open so enjoy summer till the end :)

[09:57:04] <+Tigerman> Covered all iShares IWM Short @ 81.31 --> + 0.02

[10:05:16] <@wrbtrader> @ http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-2 ... -data.html
[10:05:56] <@wrbtrader> There's a lot of HYPE in the market about that speech...commonly now known as the "Jackson Hole".
[10:06:11] <@wrbtrader> Should create some very nice volatility on Friday
[10:14:05] <+Tigerman> stressful slow pace vola contraction
[10:14:47] <@wrbtrader> This is the type of price action that makes you want to go back to bed, read a book, cut the grass, watch a movie or go to the gym.
[10:14:49] <@wrbtrader> :)
[10:15:11] <+canaandog> was just thinking the same
[10:15:32] <+Tigerman> yes my prefered is go play tennis or jogging
[10:15:56] <+Tigerman> I have some fat due to trading habit to ride off :)
[10:16:02] <+canaandog> no trust in followthrough on anything
[10:16:45] <+Tigerman> also play keyboards is good to me
[10:18:26] <+Tigerman> is a possibility I tired of this do something else and meanwhile market move nice
[10:19:01] <+Tigerman> but better miss an oportunity than get a series of small stupid losses
[10:22:53] <+canaandog> just played with the dog. much more rewarding. :)
[10:24:40] <+Tigerman> musical keyboards many models
[10:26:23] <+Tigerman> many keyboards are stored in different store because no space in studio
[10:27:23] <+Tigerman> infact nowdays it is better to use a master keyboard and sampler and rack module
[10:28:28] <+Tigerman> but I got strong sound from original vintaGE MODULE LIKE ROLAND JUPITER
[10:28:46] <+Tigerman> caps by mistake :)
[10:29:23] <+Tigerman> funny is more talk about music then trading now :)
[10:30:16] <+Tigerman> is dangerous because music is good topic x me but also too distracting while trading
[10:30:42] <+Tigerman> oh yes
[10:31:06] <@wrbtrader> I don't think I've ever traded "without" listening to music
[10:31:12] <@wrbtrader> I have to have it
[10:31:42] <@wrbtrader> I can go a few minutes without listening to music but not much longer than that :)
[10:32:09] <+Tigerman> I know at the end we ll see movies insted trading :)
[10:33:02] <+Tigerman> thats a good idea the only movies I have is wall street the first one
[10:33:35] <+Tigerman> in blue ray,good documentary inside the cd about wall street life
[10:34:40] <+Tigerman> wrbtrader what will be good is a video-streaming inside cme or nyse traders desk
[10:35:49] <+Tigerman> also a big wiew of cme pit just to feel the daily mood is great
[10:36:19] <+Tigerman> my bet is the market move this way till 1-2 pm
[10:39:05] <+Tigerman> ok thanks
[10:41:03] <@wrbtrader> I used it for many months.
[10:41:58] <@wrbtrader> The one thing I liked was they had free access to some good classic movies
[10:48:15] <@wrbtrader> Margin Call is one of my favorite Wall Street movies
[10:48:42] <@wrbtrader> Another is Floored
[10:50:48] <@wrbtrader> Rogue Trader another
[10:51:24] <@wrbtrader> There's also several great documentaries of "real traders"...profiting millions and losing millions.
[10:51:43] <@wrbtrader> You'll notice in some on their monitors you'll see charts with indicators.
[10:52:00] <@wrbtrader> Volatility Spike now out of that strange price action range
[10:53:43] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 811.60 -> medium size

[10:56:42] <+Tigerman> Covered all iShares IWM Short @ 81.18 --> + 0.01
[10:56:50] <@wrbtrader> That earlier crap zone has me spooked a little

[10:58:52] <Fleneer> good morning
[10:59:01] <@wrbtrader> one more volatility spike in the same direction as the most recent...
[10:59:25] <@wrbtrader> That will give me a little breathing room that this won't retrace back upwards into that price noise area
[10:59:26] <+Fleneer> trying long on this drop. see if get burned.
[11:33:54] <+Tigerman> missing this last upmove due to distraction

[16:05:17] <@wrbtrader> another WRB stop
[16:06:12] <@wrbtrader> If Bernanke can't bring volatility (volume and investors back) into the market after Friday's speech...
[16:06:29] <@wrbtrader> It'll be a very tough September to trade
[16:06:51] <@wrbtrader> unless some unusual surprising global news event occurs
[16:07:04] <+canaandog> maybe Europe will collapse :)
[16:07:25] <+canaandog> though not really to be hoped for
[16:07:43] <+canaandog> but do wish markets would move

[16:08:24] <+canaandog> in the "be carefule what you wish for" category

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

#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.
