#TheStrategyLab (formerly known as #FuturesTrades) is
free along with being a serious professional trading chat room for traders using
WRB Analysis by itself or merged with other trade methods to improve the performance of those other trade methods regardless if you're a
position trader, swing trader or day trader. Therefore, you're welcome to use the chat room to post real-time trades, real-time price action analysis or market commentaries involving stocks, futures, exchange traded funds or forex currencies.

highly recommended you post messages that reflect what you see in the price action on your monitors.

educational for you...
please ask questions instead of lurking (not participating in conversations).
Quote:
Chat room only for traders using concepts of WRB Analysis.

[11:22:18] <+Tigerman> not a wrb pt1 but fear rise
[11:22:39] <+Tigerman> simply not want price too much against my entry
[11:22:46] <+Tigerman> and leave too much on table
[11:23:12] <+Tigerman> I mean price retrace too much
[11:25:52] <@wrbtrader> Last year I estimated that I leave about $400 per day on the table via "missed trade opportunities" while on my personal breaks (e.g. going out for lunch, personal appointments, completely personal things around the house).
[11:26:33] <@wrbtrader> A friend said I should hire someone and pay the person $300 per day to do all my personal stuff per day for me.
[11:26:46] <@wrbtrader> I would pocket about $100 per day in extra profits.
[11:27:22] <canaandog> except that one needs those breaks
[11:27:34] <@wrbtrader> The flaw with that theory is that the reason why I take so many "personal time outs" from trading is so that I can "re-calibrate or regain my mental energy" to finish the trading day.
[11:27:53] <@wrbtrader> Simply, if I stay at my computer 8 hours per day...
[11:27:57] <@wrbtrader> I'll go crazy
[11:28:46] <@wrbtrader> It's ok for those that are young, single
[11:29:05] <@wrbtrader> Not ok if you're older, family and kids...
[11:30:05] <@wrbtrader> Trading is very mentally demanding...gotta know how to get away from it to prevent burnout and/or trading errors due to lack of concentration.
[11:35:00] <+Tigerman> yeah totally agreed
[11:36:42] <+canaandog> yeah. I was feeling good because I shorted cl at 88.68, and took a nice profit. Then got distracted, didn't pay attention, and now not feeling so great about how much I left on table.
But it's still a profit.

free and is a serious professional trading chat room involving
WRB Analysis in which any trader
(position trading, swing trading, day trading) 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.

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

spam free chat room during trading although these archived chat logs may contain advertisements for guest visitors.

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.
