##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, WRB Zone, R area of WRB Zone, S area of WRB Zone) 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

[09:46:59] <wrbtrader> Exited Remainder Emini TF Long @ 1099.10 --> + 0.4
[09:47:45] <wrbtrader> Emini TF just ran out of steam when it popped above 1100.00 price area
[09:48:36] <jpan> 5l add
[09:48:47] <Cayden> yep- ON stuff- maybe 1 or 2 a month- MAYBE! historical leaps of faith do not make sense unless WRB analysis is also applied- and so long as the The Russians don't invade Crimea on a ON long.
[09:50:25] <jpan> 15 out half
[09:50:58] <wrbtrader> Russians don't need to invade...they seem happy to just shoot down ANY type of airplane flying near the Crimea airspace
[09:50:59] <Tigerman__> lg iwm 109.53
[09:51:52] <wrbtrader> Russia markets not doing so hot these days...
[09:52:24] <wrbtrader> I'm sure the news about one of their Oil monguls killed in that plane crash isn't going to help their markets
[09:53:53] <Cayden> NQ, ES and TF all trading close to or above the ON highs- YM chugging
[09:54:21] <wrbtrader> Their stock market is up today but still close to the reaction lows of August

[09:59:03] <Cayden> KME- 1 minute- top of the hour here
[09:59:23] <Cayden> I've heard stories where Stalin would make people trade american futures in an interest for western monies- if they were good at it good- if not - off to Siberia. Part of the story is how good they became at trading. IDK?
[10:00:13] <wrbtrader> Off to Siberia isn't bad for traders in comparison to China...
[10:00:20] <wrbtrader> China does executions
[10:00:55] <TradeSnake______> Long GC @ 1251.5
[10:01:09] <jpan> 9.5 all out
[10:01:22] <wrbtrader> The last trader executed a few years ago was a "rogue trader" that lost a few hundred million in un-authorized trades
[10:02:11] <MattyR> not surprised he lost with that sort of pressure
[10:02:18] <wrbtrader> If that can't keep someone discipline as a trader via executions...nothing can.
[10:02:22] <Cayden> and China charges the family for the bullet that they use in the execution-
[10:02:30] <wrbtrader> ooouch
[10:02:30] <jpan> lol
[10:03:08] <tradermo_> sto pto breakeven 16386
[10:03:25] <Cayden> and I thought wrbhg studies required disipline- geech!
[10:03:32] <tradermo_> exit all ym 16386
[10:05:12] <wrbtrader> WRB Analysis doesn't involve discipline but I would have flown over there and sat next to him with baseball bat to keep him on the "discipline path" for a million dollar fee.
[10:05:37] <wrbtrader> At least he'll be alive today but bruised
[10:05:47] <MattyR> ha ha

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.
