##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 trading 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.

##TheStrategyLab is primarily designed to only be a trade journal for documentation purposes 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 so that the chat room becomes your diary (journal) to correlate with trades on your broker statements.

Also, if you want ##TheStrategyLab chat room to be educational for you, ask questions instead of lurking (not participating in conversations). You can talk about anything related to price action analysis, trade execution, financial markets, economies or news impacting the markets in general.


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 price action 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

[15:15:19] <@wrbtrader> FYI - @ChanServ is not a person...it is a robot mode by Freenode to allows me to control the chat room.
[15:15:36] <@wrbtrader> Thus, do not send messages to it because I will not recieve those messages.
[15:16:20] <@wrbtrader> I am in here as wrbtrader and wrbtrader_mobile
[15:17:54] <@wrbtrader> I'm posting my morning trades in here via wrbtrader_mobile (hidden by script) until log is release...
[15:18:39] <@wrbtrader> Will post some trades in here via wrbtrader in the afternoon trading session on some trading days.
[15:19:50] <@wrbtrader> Eventually, all of my trades and WRB Analysis commentary will ONLY be posted by wrbtrader_mobile...
[15:20:40] <@wrbtrader> I'll then occassionally post WRB Analysis only via wrbtrader in here to show I'm still alive in here
[15:21:33] <@wrbtrader> Also, I'll still post an ocassional WRB Analysis commentary on twitter and stocktwits as I've been doing about 2 years now.
[15:25:17] <@wrbtrader> I don't know why but my android has better stable connection to IRC than my desktop that's connected via cable.
[15:34:00] <@wrbtrader> I'll let the room know what "app" I'm using as soon as I decide on my primary app....currently testing 3 of them.
[15:34:33] <@wrbtrader> The app of choice will be one that's available on iPad (iOS) and android
[15:35:08] <@wrbtrader> for those interested in keeping track of the chat room on their mobile device
[15:37:33] <@wrbtrader> FYI -> - @ChanServ is not a person...it is a robot mode by Freenode to allows me to control the chat room from my desktop and from my mobile device.
[15:42:24] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Light Crude Oil CL @ 93.15 -> large size
[15:42:38] <@wrbtrader> 7 contracts
[15:44:31] <@wrbtrader> the retracements the two recent trades in Crude has killed the trade before they could reach a WRB Hidden GAP pt1
[15:44:57] <@wrbtrader> I've been trying to catch more WRB Hidden GAP pt1 levels instead of WRB pt1 levels at profit targets
[15:46:28] <@wrbtrader> WRB Hidden GAP pt1 reached
[15:46:46] <@wrbtrader> S area of WRB Hidden GAP @ 92.99
[15:49:21] <@wrbtrader> Funny, I still remember the old "pagers" used by brokers and traders during the 90's dot.com days
[15:49:58] <@wrbtrader> Now were're talking about iPads, Androids and Cell Phones
[15:51:08] <@wrbtrader> Read an interesting article last week that within 10 years...these mobile devices will replace MAC and PC as the primary computer
[15:51:20] <MattR_> I believe that.
[15:51:36] <MattR_> Though, I think there will still be workstations for people who need heavy-duty computers.
[15:51:48] <MattR_> Just like there are still trucks for people who haul stuff (or think they might one day).
[15:51:57] <@wrbtrader> true
[15:52:13] <Brian___> yea on a light scale they will but for those that do gaming and stuff i dont see that happening
[15:52:37] <MattR_> yeah
[15:52:56] <MattR_> I like having four big monitors on my desk. :-)
[15:53:08] <@wrbtrader> I'm not sure about gaming...
[15:53:39] <@wrbtrader> My friends teenagers have moved from PC gaming to the XBOX, iPAD and Android gaming
[15:53:54] <MattR_> Though... I guess if phones will have built-in projectors, maybe I won't need a computer or four monitors -- I'll just set my phone on the ground and project on the entire wall.
[15:54:11] <Brian___> yea but there's some games like for instance bioshock which is pretty popular, you need a beefy machine to run that efficiently
[15:55:21] <Brian___> even some of the older games like wow and everyquest you need a decent machine due to all the graphics in them now and those old games compared to what's out there now
[15:55:38] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Light Crude Oil CL Short @ 93.10 --> + 0.05
[15:56:43] <Brian___> but for mom/dad w/a couple kids that just use the net and maybe ms office every once in a while i can see phones and tablets replacing the full size pc,
[15:56:47] <Brian___> they've already started to
[15:57:27] <MattR_> agreed
[15:58:27] <@wrbtrader> I watched a show the other day about "identity theft" involving these FREE APPS you can download on your mobile devices.
[15:59:21] <@wrbtrader> I put my android next to my wallet...a wallet inside my back pants pocket...
[15:59:21] <Zr1trader__> That is one thing about new technology and almost all info being digital now, seems no info is safe anymore.
[15:59:36] <@wrbtrader> It was able to read the credit card "inside"
[15:59:37] <@wrbtrader> scary
[15:59:56] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 944.00 -> large size
[16:00:03] <@wrbtrader> 5+5
[16:00:23] <@wrbtrader> volatility spike
[16:01:53] <@wrbtrader> hopefully it'll drift up on the declining volatility...
[16:01:58] <@wrbtrader> So far...not doing it
[16:05:52] <@wrbtrader> Exited 1/2 Emini TF Long @ 946.30 --> + 2.3
[16:06:13] <@wrbtrader> Exited Remainder Emini TF Long @ 946.20 --> + 2.2
[16:06:59] <@wrbtrader> Take care all and see all next month (tomorrow).
[16:07:08] <MattR_> g'night

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

##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 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 traders in price action trading.

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.

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 price action 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
