##TheStrategyLab (located on the Freenode IRC network) is free along with being a serious professional trading chat room for traders using WRB Analysis (e.g. Contracting Volatility, WRB, WRB Hidden GAP, WRB Zone) 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 ask questions about WRB Analysis, post real-time price action analysis involving WRB Analysis merged with your own trade methods, post real-time trades or talk about general market issues impacting today's price action 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 that's located on the Freenode IRC network...please follow the instructions here at the FTCHAT Support Forum @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum/viewforum.php?f=5 or via the the instructions from the TSL Support Forum @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum/viewforum.php?f=164

[15:36:31] <Zr1trader__> I usually only post 1 or two trades here during the day and they are the trades in my plan that have to do with WRB's so yeah
[15:40:49] <TigermanTrader> good afternoon all
[15:41:09] <TigermanTrader> euro fx is interesting now
[15:42:12] <@wrbtrader> We have a low voaltility tight trading range at the top of an obvious trend day.
[15:43:05] <TigermanTrader> long euro fx 1.3357 forex
[15:43:20] <@wrbtrader> Looks like one of those trading days that the 4pm est rush hour traffic is going to LACK volatility
[15:43:52] <@wrbtrader> especially after yesterday's nice volatility expansion into the 4pm est regular session close
[15:44:28] <@wrbtrader> Thus, rarely do we get back to back (consecutive) nice volatility into the 4pm est regular session when the overall volatility is LOW.
[15:45:12] <@wrbtrader> WRB Analysis -> - Your use of this chat room implies you're using concepts from WRB Analysis to help trade either Stocks, Emini Futures (EMD, TF, ES, NQ, YM), EuroFX 6E Futures, Eurex/Euronext Futures (DAX, ESTX50, FTSE100, CAC40, BUND), Treasury Futures (ZF, ZN, ZB), Oil Futures (Brent, CL, HO, QM), Gold GC Futures, Natural Gas NG Futures, Exchange Traded Funds (DIA, GLD, IWM, OIH, XLE, QQQ, SPY), Forex Currencies (GbpUsd, EurUsd, EurYen, UsdCad) or other key market price actions.

[15:46:23] <@wrbtrader> although volatility is now contracting
[15:46:33] <@wrbtrader> same with Forex EurUsd currency
[15:47:11] <TigermanTrader> exit 1/2 euro fx at 1.3359
[15:47:21] <@wrbtrader> Gold GC futures had a wild ride today...WRB Hidden GAPs everywhere...up and down
[15:47:31] <TigermanTrader> I like a spike here in euro
[15:48:30] <TigermanTrader> ah ok almost done a bad spike against me
[15:51:20] <@wrbtrader> Emini TF futures has that big WRB Hidden GAP @ 1512pm - 1515pm est
[15:52:00] <@wrbtrader> I think price action is going to have a ton of problems trying to escape the range of that WRB Hidden GAP going into the 4pm est regular session close
[15:52:04] <@wrbtrader> hopefully I'm wrong
[15:52:47] <TigermanTrader> exit remainder euro fx at 1.3360
[15:52:59] <TigermanTrader> price stall too much x my taste
[15:53:27] <TigermanTrader> it is just too good have that kind of move in euro in this time of the day
[15:53:51] <@wrbtrader> R area of WRB Hidden GAP @ 923.70 and S area of WRB Hidden GAP @ 922.40
[15:53:58] <@wrbtrader> currently testing the S area
[15:57:38] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 922.70 -> small size
[15:57:59] <@wrbtrader> 2 contracts
[15:58:11] <@wrbtrader> trailing tight
[15:58:31] <@wrbtrader> not the best price action for t 4pm est regular session close
[15:58:40] <@wrbtrader> actually poor
[15:59:07] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 922.40 --> - 0.3
[16:00:38] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 922.20 -> small size
[16:00:56] <@wrbtrader> looks like it wants to stay near that S area
[16:01:04] <@wrbtrader> 2 contracts
[16:03:37] <TigermanTrader> problematic area in eminis
[16:03:52] <TigermanTrader> not a clear direction
[16:03:58] <@wrbtrader> put it to memory that WRB Hidden GAP

[16:05:40] <@wrbtrader> reaction points have nothing to do with fills

[16:15:55] <@wrbtrader> was going to hold that one over night but there are a few economic reports in Europe I don't want to hold a trade into
[16:16:59] <TigermanTrader> yeah too risky also better x sleep :)
[16:17:01] <@wrbtrader> still disappointed with the overnight hold the other day into the State of Union address that didn't produce much
[16:17:17] <@wrbtrader> Thought for sure that would be my big trade of the month
[16:17:26] <@wrbtrader> :(
[16:21:12] <@wrbtrader> Take care all and see all tomorrow

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

##TheStrategyLab (located on the Freenode IRC network) 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:

Image CME Emini Futures EMD, ES and NQ

Image ICE Emini TF Futures (formerly CME ER2)

Image CBOT mini-sized Dow Futures YM

Image Eurex Index Derivatives (futures) DAX and DJ Euro Stoxx50

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
