##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. In addition, we welcome all traders (beginners, experience, part-time, full-time) that are merging WRB Analysis with their trade methods or using WRB Analysis to help develop a better understanding of the price action (market context) they're trading...improving their position size management and trade management after entry.

##TheStrategyLab is primarily designed to be a trade journal for documentation purposes only so that members can have a real time stamp archive of their trades and their market commentaries of each trading day...giving 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 the past. Therefore, if you use our chat room...its highly recommended you post messages that reflect what you see in the price action on your monitors. Your diary (journal).

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

Quote:
Chat room only for traders using concepts of WRB Analysis. In addition, 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.

Session Start: Mon Jan 14 08:26:17 2013
Session Ident: ##TheStrategyLab
[08:26:17] * Now talking in ##TheStrategyLab
[08:27:22] * wrbtrader_away is now known as wrbtrader
[09:39:20] <canaandog> what a mess with Othernet
[09:40:07] <+canaandog> btw, discovered by accident that one can apparently access the old #FuturesTrade chatroom via a freenode server
[09:41:01] <@wrbtrader> that's not the old chat room
[09:41:04] <@wrbtrader> :)
[09:41:33] <@wrbtrader> Its just the mIRC sofware thinking you want to go to a room called #FuturesTrades on Freenode
[09:41:52] <+canaandog> oh. Looked like it. maybe an artefact of trillian pulling the history
[09:42:03] <+canaandog> but it makes more sense it wouldn't be
[09:42:49] <@wrbtrader> I think the Othernet is dead
[09:43:06] <@wrbtrader> Doesn't matter anymore...Freenode is a lot better solution
[09:43:09] <+canaandog> for some reason Denver was alive this morning
[09:43:25] <@wrbtrader> Lots of server in Europe and Asia/Pacific
[09:43:40] <+canaandog> access was a lot faster on freenode
[09:43:58] <@wrbtrader> Useful for those members that had TONS of connection problems with the ONLY north america servers of Othernet
[09:44:14] <RacerX> testing
[09:44:36] <@wrbtrader> By the way, I'm also RacerX...its my "mobile" user name.
[09:44:54] <+canaandog> didn't know that
[09:46:11] <@wrbtrader> Freenode is also better for those using mobile devices (e.g. ipod touch, ipad, android, cell phone)
[09:46:50] <@wrbtrader> and for those that just want to do a browser log-in
[09:49:23] <@wrbtrader> I'll be reposting later tonight a new "trade post script" that's has the changes for posting here in the new chat room located on Freenode.
[09:49:35] <@wrbtrader> The old trade posting script will not work in here.
[09:49:53] <@wrbtrader> I'm using the new one today to make sure it works properly prior to releasing it tonight
[09:55:08] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 876.90 -> large size
[09:56:03] <@wrbtrader> big time chasing...Eminis were making lower highs much earlier
[09:56:06] <@wrbtrader> 6 contracts
[09:56:41] <@wrbtrader> long lower shadows showing up
[10:02:09] <@wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[10:03:36] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 876.90 --> 0
[10:09:56] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 876.70 -> large size
[10:10:07] <@wrbtrader> re-entry
[10:10:14] <@wrbtrader> 6 contracts
[10:10:44] <@wrbtrader> I let the prior WRB pt1 slip away...left money on the table :(
[10:11:17] <MattR> always a crappy feeling. My (sim) trading software connection failed at exactly the wrong time a moment ago.
[10:15:21] <@wrbtrader> Forex GBPUSD finally showing some volatility contraction after the big price drop
[10:15:42] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 876.60 --> + 0.1
[10:29:44] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 875.70 -> large size
[10:29:51] <@wrbtrader> 2+2+2
[10:30:00] <@wrbtrader> retrying again
[10:30:14] <@wrbtrader> same price action but a lot lower
[10:31:23] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 876.50 --> - 0.8
[10:31:35] <@wrbtrader> R area of WRB Hidden GAP reached

[12:58:13] <@wrbtrader> low volatility in many markets right now...
[12:58:19] <@wrbtrader> obvious lunch time for folks
[13:52:36] <@wrbtrader> back from lunch
[13:52:42] <@wrbtrader> nobody trading today ?
[13:53:09] <@wrbtrader> I know it a very slow low volatility tight trading range day for the Emini futures
[13:53:10] <+MattR> Nope. I'm working on my DOK for Chapter 4.
[14:31:10] <+canaandog> nice eod for CL
[14:34:31] <+canaandog> got a little of it. pickpocketed three times; should have reentered yet again
[14:35:23] <+canaandog> but remembered too many recent days where CL went nowhere at close
[14:50:29] <@wrbtrader> just got back
[14:50:49] <@wrbtrader> Yeah, nice movement in the Light Crude Oil CL futures
[15:10:39] <@wrbtrader> very few trades for me...
[15:11:05] <@wrbtrader> I'm still updating scripts in the background after moving this chat room from the Othernet to Freenode.
[15:11:32] <+canaandog> not many for me either
[15:11:47] <@wrbtrader> Emini TF futures having some difficulty in the WRB Hidden GAP @ 1433pm - 1436pm est
[15:11:57] <+canaandog> been busy migrating website
[15:13:20] <+canaandog> 1433 and 1436 correspond fiarly closely to normal gap, as well
[15:15:03] <@wrbtrader> Forex NZD/USD currency having problems near the S area of the WRB Hidden GAP @ 0945am - 1000am est
[15:15:38] <@wrbtrader> In contrast, Forex USD/CHF in a nice looking Creeper Up Movement on the 15min chart
[15:19:51] <@wrbtrader> Emini ES and TF futures charts look ugly
[15:19:56] <@wrbtrader> not every day is a trading day
[15:20:27] <@wrbtrader> Hopefully the last 30 minutes of the regular trading session will show increasing volatility...
[15:20:40] <@wrbtrader> producing a few trade opportunities
[15:26:01] <@wrbtrader> looks like we lost about 12 members when I moved the chat room today to its new location here on Freenode
[15:26:31] <@wrbtrader> Hopefully they figure out the new location within the next few days.
[15:29:46] <@wrbtrader> Forex GBP/USD currency in a Creepeer Up Movement on low volatility
[16:00:36] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 878.10 -> medium size

[16:02:03] <+canaandog> whee
[16:02:09] <@wrbtrader> 877.50 is the R area of the WRB Hidden GAP @ 1550pm - 1552pm est
[16:02:45] <@wrbtrader> not much of a profit target but its the only thing this price action is showing for the WRB Analysis
[16:02:52] <+MattR> TFH3
[16:02:56] <+MattR> whoops
[16:03:35] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 877.50 --> + 0.6
[16:04:44] <+canaandog> did you change the arrows in the trade posts?
[16:05:03] <@wrbtrader> arrows ?
[16:05:05] <+canaandog> they're much heavier, at least on my side
[16:05:25] <+canaandog> in the close post: [14:03] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 877.50 --> + 0.6
[16:05:26] <@wrbtrader> You logged in via mIRC or web browser ?
[16:05:32] <+canaandog> trillian
[16:05:38] <+canaandog> think all parms same as before
[16:05:47] <@wrbtrader> Ahh...ok...
[16:05:49] <+canaandog> but it could be my side
[16:05:51] <@wrbtrader> I'll explain...
[16:06:08] <@wrbtrader> Trillian is configure to work "with" Freenode.
[16:06:28] <@wrbtrader> Trillian looses some of its features in the Othernet
[16:06:34] <+canaandog> ah, got it
[16:06:45] <@wrbtrader> In contrast, some of its features are now enable while on the Freenode.
[16:06:58] <@wrbtrader> For example, depending upon how I code this room...
[16:07:01] <+canaandog> I'm also not seeing color, if I should be
[16:07:05] <+canaandog> and I used to
[16:07:12] <+canaandog> just fyi
[16:07:13] <@wrbtrader> Every time someone post a link in here to a chart...
[16:07:32] <@wrbtrader> That chart will actually show up in Trillian as a thumb-nail image
[16:07:56] <+canaandog> ok, so closer integration with freenode
[16:08:01] <@wrbtrader> Yes
[16:08:24] <@wrbtrader> I just wish I had switch from the Othern to Freenode many years ago
[16:09:20] <+canaandog> does the "new" script post trades in color from your perspective?
[16:12:30] <@wrbtrader> no but that's an issue with mIRC
[16:12:51] <+canaandog> ok, just wanted to know if I had missed some setting
[16:12:59] <@wrbtrader> many versions ago...I could copy the color straight to html or my forum text...
[16:13:18] <@wrbtrader> Then I upgraded mIRC to the latest version at that time a few years ago...
[16:13:27] <@wrbtrader> Lost the ability to keep the color :(
[16:14:24] <+canaandog> but you had color on othernet...?
[16:15:17] <@wrbtrader> no
[16:15:38] <+canaandog> I was seeing it
[16:16:35] <@wrbtrader> unless you're talking about something called "line colors" or something like that
[16:17:06] <+canaandog> maybe. As I recall it was like reverse video or highlighted.
[16:17:14] <@wrbtrader> Other than that, I have the highlight trade post color in Othernet and Freenode
[16:17:49] <@wrbtrader> I have it setup that when I copy it and paste it as text at the forum...
[16:17:55] <+canaandog> highlight would fit, though I'm not seeing it on freenode and did before
[16:18:06] <@wrbtrader> It strips (removes) the color codes
[16:18:29] <+canaandog> ok. no big deal from my perspective, just an fyi
[16:18:35] <@wrbtrader> Those color codes were causing problems in my log posts when I try to post the text log.
[16:20:29] <+canaandog> well, gtg-- have a good night & see tomorrow
Session Close: Mon Jan 14 17:54:50 2013

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

##TheStrategyLab is 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. 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 ##WRB_Analysis 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: chat logs saved (timestamp) from Québec, Canada in eastern daylight time
