##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 learning or applying concepts of WRB Analysis. In addition, traders that use ##TheStrategyLab are required to post at least one WRB Analysis price action commentary, one real-time trade or one general trading related 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

[09:43:52] <NDW> YM stalled 10 mins ago, not cooperating
[09:43:53] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 1788.75 --> 0

[09:55:39] <wrbtrader> Cover Emini TF futures @ 1107.40 +0.60
[09:55:45] <wrbtrader> just lost my patience
[09:56:13] <canaandog> so long as it's not your marbles
[09:57:08] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 (shallow) reached
[09:57:31] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 1789.25 --> + 0.25
[09:58:51] <wrbtrader> Eminis has lately been doing this one hard push down...then a small failed counter-thrust...then a slow creeper price UP movement
[09:59:19] <wrbtrader> Lets see if it does it again...start to slowly rise to new intraday highs
[09:59:42] <Sidhartha> yup. feels like a lot of computers buying VWAP over the day
[10:01:39] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 1790.50 -> large size
[10:01:55] <wrbtrader> intuition trade
[10:02:02] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[10:02:54] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 1789.50 --> - 1
[10:03:17] <wrbtrader> TF retesting its most recent reaction low
[10:06:41] <NDW> the eminis are twisted up right now, nothing in sync
[10:07:47] <wrbtrader> Yeah and so is other key markets...sideways price action
[10:07:54] <wrbtrader> I'm now expecting a volatility spike
[10:08:38] <wrbtrader> Short Emini ES futures @ 1789.00 large size 10 contracts
[10:08:56] <NDW> VIX 12.17
[10:09:07] <wrbtrader> scary VIX
[10:11:52] <wrbtrader> Cover all Emini TF futures @ 1790.25 -1.25
[10:12:28] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES futures @ 1790.50 large size 10 contracts
[10:13:35] <wrbtrader> that Emini ES trade cost me a good entry in Emini TF...got my orders screens mixed up
[10:14:07] <wrbtrader> still nothing from Gold and Crude futures...
[10:14:17] <Sidhartha> YM leading the charge up
[10:14:33] <Sidhartha> everything else in a very tight trading range
[10:14:45] <wrbtrader> very strange that they have been so quiet like this for so long after the start of the regular session
[10:15:04] <wrbtrader> Its almost as if a ton of money is bieng pulled out of the markets...
[10:15:13] <wrbtrader> And the FED are the only ones pushing it higher
[10:16:31] <Sidhartha> would make sense
[10:16:53] <wrbtrader> Trading against the FED...not good odds
[10:18:37] <wrbtrader> Cover all Emini ES futures @ 1789.25 -1.25
[10:19:30] <wrbtrader> The range is getting tighter
[10:19:38] <wrbtrader> volatility starting to decline more
[10:23:40] <Sidhartha> limit order market only right now... buy bear bars sell bull bars... only way to make money!
[10:25:33] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 1790.50 -> large size
[10:25:53] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[10:26:10] <wrbtrader> intuition
[10:27:14] <NDW> since 8:43 the ES has been in a steady channel slightly upward
[10:33:37] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 1789.50 --> - 1
[10:34:41] <wrbtrader> At least it tried to get above the tight trading range but no support from other key markets
[10:34:48] <wrbtrader> Their dead in the water too
[10:46:48] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 1790.50 -> large size
[10:47:54] <wrbtrader> 15 contracts
[10:48:38] <wrbtrader> 4 trades @ 1790.50
[10:50:11] <wrbtrader> Additional problem is that the WRB pt1 have been shallow as in 1 - 2 ticks
[10:50:47] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 1791.25 --> + 0.75
[10:51:22] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[11:01:28] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 1791.25 -> large size
[11:01:38] <wrbtrader> 30 contracts
[11:01:45] <wrbtrader> volatility increasing
[11:04:35] <wrbtrader> that volatility has dried up again
[11:05:42] <wrbtrader> If Emini YM and Dow can keep pushing higher as a creeper up movement...
[11:06:04] <wrbtrader> Eventually the other Emini futures will participate and try to catch up
[11:06:24] <wrbtrader> Until then...today is all about the FED pushing the Dow
[11:06:56] <wrbtrader> "print more money"
[11:10:53] <NDW> the political fallout from the ACA and the govt. shutdown is wreaking havoc on the markets for us short term traders
[11:11:12] <wrbtrader> Apparently so
[11:11:34] <wrbtrader> Things just have not been the same every since that "fiasco" happen.
[11:12:27] <NDW> I think it will continue when the debt ceiling debate rolls around first of the year
[11:12:30] <wrbtrader> I'm surprise that Emini NQ is not much higher or attempting to keep pace with Emini YM
[11:12:39] <NDW> I agree, it is a fiasco
[11:14:43] <wrbtrader> Crude Oil CL futures just mysteriously started to move
[11:14:45] <NDW> NQ is just at the opening price on the day, the YM is way above ......
[11:15:20] <wrbtrader> as if someone showed up late to work
[11:15:34] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 1791.25 --> 0
[11:15:54] <NDW> ha, that is funny - taking off for awhile so it will move for you
[11:17:03] <@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.
[11:18:58] <wrbtrader> Shorts Light Crude Oil CL @ 93.78 -> large size
[11:19:13] <wrbtrader> 4+2 contracts
[11:19:30] <wrbtrader> geeesh
[11:19:57] <wrbtrader> Covered 1/2 Light Crude Oil CL Short @ 93.70 --> + 0.08
[11:20:10] <wrbtrader> Covered Remainder Light Crude Oil CL Short @ 93.72 --> + 0.06
[11:20:41] <wrbtrader> trade error and then a Houdini Escape
[11:31:04] <wrbtrader> Wow...big contradiction again in the Emini futures
[11:31:25] <wrbtrader> NQ was declining while TF was rising
[11:32:02] <wrbtrader> When I see this I often double check my charts to make sure I'm not hallucinating
[11:32:08] <NDW> NQ and YM as well - schizophrenic market
[11:54:22] <NDW> a little movement downward now
[13:45:09] <tomis170> have a good week end guys
[13:45:10] <tomis170> bye
[14:26:01] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 1792.00 -> large size
[14:26:32] <wrbtrader> 15 contracts
[14:26:40] <wrbtrader> volatility slowly increasing
[14:27:42] <Sidhartha> and then died again
[14:29:12] <wrbtrader> exactly
[14:29:59] <wrbtrader> I use to call that "sucker punched"
[14:30:24] <Sidhartha> yup. pretty much all the emini's broke out at the same time...
[14:30:32] <Sidhartha> could still happen
[14:32:19] <Sidhartha> the dow seems to be leading the bulls
[14:42:30] <wrbtrader> I've lost my patience again
[14:44:08] <Sidhartha> yeah you gotta play these trades long if you wanna get anything out of them at the moment
[14:44:36] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 1792.00 --> 0
[14:45:01] <wrbtrader> rarely do I get 3 breakeven trades in a trading day
[14:45:14] <wrbtrader> Just tough to manage to patience today
[15:03:24] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 1793.00 -> large size
[15:06:18] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 1793.00 --> 0
[15:06:37] <wrbtrader> That may have been my breaking point
[15:06:50] <NDW> dried up - terrible price action
[15:07:39] <NDW> I made a little this morning during the "volatility", but have called it a week.
[15:10:20] <wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 1114.00 -> large size
[15:10:33] <wrbtrader> 6 contracts
[15:20:23] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 1114.50 --> + 0.5
[15:20:51] <NDW> Woo Hoo!! A trade that actually moved a little.
[15:29:36] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 1794.50 -> large size
[15:30:03] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[15:39:15] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 1794.50 --> 0
[15:40:03] <wrbtrader> I know my trails are tight but I just can't take a chance and get nailed for a big loss with this strange price action
[15:40:27] <wrbtrader> It'll be almost impossible to recover from a big loss in this type of price action
[15:59:36] <t4npaper> TF not in line withe other eminis
[16:00:25] <NDW> 3 cousins ran up to new HOD, 1 cousin didn't follow
[16:13:40] <NDW> have a good weekend all.
[18:20:24] <wrbtrader> Take care all and have a nice weekend
