#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.

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

[10:04:41] <@wrbtrader> Hi Trend...someone else yesterday had problems logging in but I'm not sure who it was because he sent me an email asking if the room was closed after not being able to connect but he didn't give his username
[10:05:25] <+Trendtrader> o.k. thanks.

[10:20:17] <@wrbtrader> I had a late start this morning and then had some data problems...
[10:20:28] <@wrbtrader> Got everything working again now
[10:21:33] <@wrbtrader> Emini NQ futures still above its opening price...
[10:21:51] <@wrbtrader> stable looking price action but the problem is that its occurring on "low volatility"
[10:22:06] <@wrbtrader> all the Eminis still have that "low volatility" problem
[10:22:12] <@wrbtrader> making trading very difficult
[10:27:07] <@wrbtrader> Eminis now in a Creeper Up Movement

[10:38:41] <@wrbtrader> Today I'll hang around a little longer in the mid day just in case it decides to do it again...up or down.
[10:55:33] <@wrbtrader> a lot of small intervals with long shadows today
[10:56:35] <@wrbtrader> small intervals = volatility contraction between the Open and Close of the interval
[10:57:06] <@wrbtrader> then when such occurs in consecutive intervals...

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.
