##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, WRBs, WRB Hidden GAPs, WRB Zone, WRB/WRB Hidden GAP profit targets, Key Market Events, Reaction Highs/Lows, Expanding Volatility) 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 chat room is is primarily designed for you to use as a
trade journal of your WRB Analysis or real-time trades with time stamp archive....giving you a better understanding of your broker statements from one trade to the next trade when you review your 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 to correlate with your broker statements. Therefore, the usefulness of ##TheStrategyLab chat room is determined via
your participation in the chat room.
Also, ##TheStrategyLab chat room is
not designed to be
educational. Simply, members using the chat room are
not there to teach you how to trade and you will
not see me discussing the reasons (strategies) behind my trades within ##TheStrategyLab chat room because those reasons (strategies) are
only discussed with fee-base clients in a different chat room. Yet, if you want ##TheStrategyLab chat room to be educational or more active in discussing whatever it is that you're trading, we highly recommend that you ask trading related questions about your own trading instead of lurking (not saying anything) because your primary purpose is to improve your trading if you're a struggling trader. Therefore, don't join ##TheStrategyLab and then be
silent. To be silent while using ##TheStrategyLab chat room, you'll be wasting a collaboration opportunity for improving your trading and doing such will make ##TheStrategyLab chat room useless to you.
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 to the chat room participation rule involves those traders that are actively posting elsewhere at TheStrategyLab.com (e.g. DOKs at their support forum in the public area or within their private threads)...these traders are then allowed to not participate in the chat room if that's what they prefer to do instead of asking for help with real-time WRB Analysis.
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 qualify for access to our free ##TheStrategyLab chat room that's located on the Freenode IRC network...please follow the instructions at the TSL Support Forum

[14:17:55] <@wrbtrader> KME price action completely retraced now
[14:18:00] <@wrbtrader> in Emini TF futures
[14:19:22] <tradermo> keeping original stop 117.11
[14:21:13] <tradermo> adding 116.72
[14:21:31] <tradermo> that should be enough
[14:23:03] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 1172.40 -> small size
[14:23:09] <tradermo> rationale for this trade: force market to get back into bull territory to make me loose

[14:26:25] <@wrbtrader> starting to look like a churn
[14:26:29] <@wrbtrader>
[14:27:33] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 1172.30 --> + 0.2
[14:27:35] <tradermo> might get some vola if es closes gap - hopefully my stop is ok
[14:28:01] <@wrbtrader> trail that one too tight
[14:30:23] <@wrbtrader> contracting volatility since the most recent Up WRB Hidden GAP in Emini TF 2min chart
[14:30:54] <@wrbtrader> now its
to stay above the R area of that Up WRB Hidden GAP
[14:31:34] <tradermo> still weakness in tf as expected at this critical point
[14:37:51] <tradermo> big guys seem long here, hence was expecting at least gapfill
[14:54:04] <@wrbtrader> Just low volatility sideways price action for the Emini futures the past 20 minutes
[14:54:20] <@wrbtrader> intervals getting smaller in range
[14:54:31] <@wrbtrader> It should setup a nice volatility spike
[15:06:07] <tradermo> big buys holding on to their longs still
[15:11:03] <tradermo> promised vol spike trying to fill es gap
[15:17:33] <tradermo> if big guys turn out to be wrong we could get a nice selloff
[15:28:44] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 1170.00 -> small size
[15:28:54] <@wrbtrader> 1 contract
[15:28:57] <@wrbtrader>
[15:29:02] <@wrbtrader> trade error
[15:29:55] <@wrbtrader> Covered Emini TF Short @ 1169.70 --> + 0.3
[15:30:08] <@wrbtrader> will call it quits for the day on that trade error
[15:30:15] <@wrbtrader> Take care all and see all tomorrow
[15:31:01] <TradeSnake> thank you! good first day for me in the room
[15:31:28] <tradermo> exit 1/3 iwm 116.40
[15:32:16] <tradermo> stop to 116.55
[15:32:47] <tradermo> keeping it tight because big buys still buying
[15:39:27] <tradermo> exit rem iwm 116.55
