##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, WRB profit targets, Key Market Events) 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.
Quote:
The chat room is only for traders using concepts of WRB Analysis. In addition, traders that use ##TheStrategyLab are required to post at least one WRB Analysis price action commentary per day they log-in to the chat room. Yet, if the trader decides to post real-time trades (simulator or real-money)...the trades must be clear (not ambiguous) entry price/exit price and position size. Traders that consistently log-in and not post any price action commentary involving WRB Analysis or 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
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

[09:57:07] <@wrbtrader> WRB Analysis -> - Your use of this chat room implies you're using concepts from WRB Analysis for price action trading 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), Hang Seng HSI Futures, NIFTY Futures, Forex Currencies (GbpUsd, EurUsd, EurYen, UsdCad) and other key market price actions.
[09:57:38] <canaandog> tf filled but then retraced back out of wrb hg on 6/6 1530-1600
[10:01:01] <@wrbtrader> Emini ES futures climbing upwards the most recent long upper shadow
[10:03:36] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 1628.50 -> large size
[10:03:55] <@wrbtrader> 10+5 contracts
[10:05:27] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 1627.25 --> - 1.25
[10:07:19] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 1628.00 -> large size
[10:07:34] <@wrbtrader> 25 contracts
[10:09:18] <@wrbtrader> increasing volatility in different key markets
[10:09:58] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 1626.00 --> - 2
[10:10:31] <@wrbtrader> back inside the range of a prior filled BIG Down WRB Hidden GAP
[10:11:52] <@wrbtrader> That's a 3 point Hidden GAP...big enough for the price action of Emini ES to hang out within for a long time between the R and S areas
[10:23:03] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 1627.00 -> large size
[10:23:25] <@wrbtrader> early entry before the interval completed
[10:24:04] <@wrbtrader> 5+20
[10:25:34] <@wrbtrader> another volatility stall
[10:25:54] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 1627.25 --> + 0.25
[10:26:43] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 1628.00 -> large size
[10:27:04] <@wrbtrader> 25 contracts
[10:27:43] <@wrbtrader> By the way, overall volatility in the markets has been declining the past few trading days.
[10:28:07] <diesel> how do you measure overall volatility?
[10:28:27] <@wrbtrader> Reason why we see markets like Emini ES, Crude Oil, Brent Oil, Gold GC get stuck inside of these long enduring volatility contractions or declining volatility
[10:28:46] <diesel> txs
[10:28:51] <@wrbtrader> diesel...less WRBs or less WRB Hidden GAPs or less WRB Zones...
[10:29:08] <@wrbtrader> Less of any of those WRB compents = Declining Volatility
[10:29:21] <@wrbtrader> compents = components
[10:29:22] <diesel> txs
[10:29:36] <MattyR> that makes sense
[10:30:48] <@wrbtrader> more data problems
[10:31:14] <@wrbtrader> This time I have my backup system running
[10:31:24] <@wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[10:35:10] <squiggles> Wrbtrader, are most of your data problems usually caused by internet provider or broker
[10:35:17] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 1630.75 --> + 2.75
[10:35:30] <@wrbtrader> By my ISP
[10:36:13] <@wrbtrader> If/when I have problems...a few times per year...its primarily my ISP
[10:36:29] <squiggles> thanks
[10:37:06] <@wrbtrader> Recently, there's been about 400 condo units built nearby...major construction work.
[10:37:15] <@wrbtrader> Folks started moving in the past month.
[10:38:02] <@wrbtrader> Wouldn't be surprise if some server I was on is now getting "crowded" or congested if the cable company hasn't adjusted its compacity
[10:38:35] <diesel> has speed dropped?
[10:39:05] <squiggles> Wireless especially vulnerable to conjestion probs
[10:39:33] <@wrbtrader> speed has dropped a little and I have more disconnections in the evenings
[10:39:43] <diesel>
http://www.speedtest.net/[10:39:58] <diesel> I am sur eyou have it
[10:40:29] <@wrbtrader> yep
[10:42:49] <@wrbtrader> My download speed normally around 30 Mbps but has been around 21 Mbps the past month.
[10:43:09] <diesel> 30 is imprssive, i am @ 9.8
[10:43:20] <@wrbtrader> Ping normally around 8 ms and about 13 ms the past month
[10:43:46] <TigermanTrader> good data wrbtrader is it in fiber optics?
[10:43:46] <@wrbtrader> Cable company got too many new clients in my area the past month
[10:44:00] <@wrbtrader> Tigerman...I think so
[10:44:01] <MattR_> wow, 8ms ping is pretty sweet.
[10:44:05] <@wrbtrader> not sure
[10:44:37] <MattR_> wrbtrader: Is that the ping to the brokerage or the ping to the router's gateway?
[10:44:46] <TigermanTrader> how much do you pay x month
[10:44:48] <MattR_> 8ms is insanely fast.
[10:45:15] <TigermanTrader> yeah wrbtrader can do HFT trading
[10:45:21] <MattR_> haha, seriously.
[10:45:37] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 1632.25 -> large size
[10:46:09] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...I'm paying $35 more per month to get it.
[10:46:50] <squiggles> Just done a test here 9.05 Mbps download speed but ping much slower than yours 46 ms
[10:46:59] <@wrbtrader> Funny thing...as soon as I got it...my data usage almost double but I'm doing almost the exact same thing I've done the past several years.
[10:47:17] <MattR_> hah
[10:47:18] <@wrbtrader> That tells me that the ISP puts some sort CAP on the data speed
[10:47:53] <MattR_> I believe it. Time-Warner just bought my ISP, and there are no good alternatives in the area.
[10:47:53] <TigermanTrader> yep to seve more clients
[10:47:53] <@wrbtrader> 15 contracts
[10:48:15] <@wrbtrader> Emini ES futures Creeper Up Movement still active

[10:48:55] <@wrbtrader> 10 added
[10:50:04] <TigermanTrader> wrbtrader now you load the boat a lot because the ES trading
[10:50:16] <TigermanTrader> very liquid
[10:51:11] <@wrbtrader> Yeah...I can't do this in Emini TF and Crude Oil CL unless I get more into "scaling in"
[10:51:35] <@wrbtrader> Other key markets losing steam
[10:53:27] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 1631.25 --> - 1.5
[10:55:12] <@wrbtrader> Creeper Up Movement still active

[15:46:27] <@wrbtrader> Thus, that's a -1.25 chaser
[15:46:57] <@wrbtrader> had another data stall and then I decided the volatility was still there to allow for a chaser with a poor entry
[15:47:31] <@wrbtrader> Yet, without the 1.25 wiggle room...had to cover at a WRB pt1 instead of trying for a bigger trade
[15:51:06] <t4npaper> good management

[16:01:14] <@wrbtrader> Good trade entry but the volatility just couldn't push it continously lower
[16:02:50] <@wrbtrader> I didn't trade Crude Oil CL futures after 2pm est during the big up movement because I wasn't watching it.
[16:03:39] <@wrbtrader> I had closed the Crude & Brent Oil charts to see if it would my charts to prevent the data stalls.
[16:03:51] <@wrbtrader> See all tomorrow...bye

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
