##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 either one WRB Analysis price action commentary involving any key concept from the free study guide, 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. Exceptions for those that are actively posting via private messages or posting at one of our support forums.
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

[10:45:23] <@wrbtrader> Take a look at the 15min chart of Emini ES going back to January 22nd
[10:45:40] <craigaudio> day or conti?
[10:46:00] <@wrbtrader> January 23red produced that big gap down and then after that...Emini futures declined
[10:46:15] <@wrbtrader> regular session because I'm talking about the GAP
[10:47:07] <@wrbtrader> Impressive price return back to the key price area that started the big price decline via the GAP Down
[10:48:32] <@wrbtrader> Any swing trader that Shorted back then on January 22nd or 23rd...
[10:48:40] <@wrbtrader> and still holding that position.
[10:48:47] <craigaudio> ha
[10:48:49] <@wrbtrader> They must be pssst today
[10:49:00] <craigaudio> so where from here? what is the bias?
[10:49:11] <craigaudio> thats where i always come unstuck
[10:49:47] <@wrbtrader> You shouldn't get stuck because bias has no input for a trader trade decisions.
[10:50:31] <@wrbtrader> Thus, if you're bearish...its because you have a bearish trade signal
[10:50:57] <@wrbtrader> In contrast, you can use your bias to manage your position size if your bias tends to be correct
[10:51:05] <craigaudio> for example i shorted within the 3min S&P candle WRB from 9:18
[10:51:40] <@wrbtrader> Trade Signals and Bias are not the same
[10:52:10] <craigaudio> was i wrong to short within that WRB?
[10:52:24] <@wrbtrader> You were wrong to think its a bias
[10:53:08] <craigaudio> ok
[10:53:18] <craigaudio> but was shorting within that WRB a trade error?
[10:53:22] <craigaudio> or was it just a stop
[10:53:43] <@wrbtrader> I don't know what your trade signal was...you should talk about your trade signal in the other room
[10:54:18] <craigaudio> ok sorry always ask Qs in the wrong room my bad
[10:54:19] <@wrbtrader> Thus, I don't know if your wrong or right in taking that Short
[10:55:34] <@wrbtrader> Just for the record...I had a Bearish bias in Emini TF futures out of the gate.
[10:55:56] <@wrbtrader> Yet, I had no Short signal. Then when I got a Long signal while still having a bearish bias...
[10:55:59] <@wrbtrader> I went Long
[10:56:06] <@wrbtrader> Thus, I don't trade my bias.
[10:56:16] <@wrbtrader> I only using bias to help with position size.
[10:56:35] <@wrbtrader> That's why I didn't go Large on that Long position...I had a bearish bias.
[10:57:00] <craigaudio> ok
[10:57:02] <craigaudio> interesting
[10:57:05] <@wrbtrader> I used the bearish bias to manage my risk exposure on the Long position via keeping the position "small size"
[10:57:23] <@wrbtrader> I think the last time I traded my bias may have been back in the late 1980's
[10:57:42] <craigaudio> ok
[10:57:47] <@wrbtrader> Simply, if you're going to trade via BIAS...
[10:57:59] <@wrbtrader> you really don't need any trade signals
[10:58:09] <craigaudio> well i was going short with a red WRB
[10:58:17] <craigaudio> on 3min timeframe
[10:58:45] <craigaudio> but then that was entering a 60 min WRB that was a green one from the previous day
[12:00:13] <robbin_banks>

[12:22:38] <robbin_banks> long nq @53651.50 5 contracts
[12:26:56] <robbin_banks> cover nq long @3652.0 +50

In addition, our primary job in the

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.
