##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

[10:50:32] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Light Crude Oil CL Short @ 95.61 --> + 0.01
[10:50:42] <@wrbtrader> too much contraction
[10:50:50] <@wrbtrader> I should be able to get a better entry price
[10:52:30] <rdhart801_> also an hidden gap (downwards) on a 5min chart (YM, 10.45/50)
[10:53:02] <rdhart801_> is it ok if i add links to tiny pics of what I'm talking about?
[10:53:14] <MattR_> Gold GC Futures increasing volatility.

[11:04:06] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Light Crude Oil CL Short @ 95.70 --> - 0.14
[11:05:17] <rdhart801_> @wrbtrader, can i ask you what do you mean with "trying hard to increase its own volatility"
[11:07:18] <@wrbtrader> that means the contracting volatility is starting to make higher lows within the volatility contraction
[11:08:27] <@wrbtrader> Long Light Crude Oil CL @ 95.78 -> medium size
[11:08:48] <@wrbtrader> increasing volatility in Crude Oil futures and Brent Oil futures

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.
