##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.
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

http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum/[09:30:41] <Corner> Good morning all
[09:31:13] <Corner> KME 10 AM ET
[09:31:40] <Corner> +KME 9:45 AM ET
[09:33:24] <Tigerman__>
all
[09:35:54] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2068.25 -> large size
[09:36:12] <wrbtrader> 15 contracts
[09:39:04] <wrbtrader> Exited 2/3 Emini ES Long @ 2070.25 --> + 2
[09:39:30] <wrbtrader> early exit...not a WRB pt1
[09:41:06] <wrbtrader> Emini ES futures mid-point of the Down WRB Hidden GAP interval on the 15min chart...a WRB Zone
[09:42:24] <wrbtrader> Exited Remainder Emini ES Long @ 2070.25 --> + 2
[09:42:30] <wrbtrader> too much of a fight
[09:42:51] <Corner> Just in time :-)
[09:43:23] <wrbtrader> Emini ES futures now back below the S area of that WRB Zone
[09:53:39] <wrbtrader> Just range bound price action now in the Emini futures
[09:54:17] <wrbtrader> hopefully the pending KMEs will shake thinks up
[09:54:40] <futurestrack> End of quarter?
[09:59:26] <wrbtrader> Yep
[09:59:54] <wrbtrader> conflicting trend analysis via the all session charts versus regular session charts
[10:00:14] <wrbtrader> reason why I'm not hanging around too long in my trades in the Emini futures
[10:00:31] <rwbil001> TF looks like it is trying to BO to the upside.
[10:04:21] <wrbtrader> By the way, futurestrac posted nice easy to understand summary of Chapter 2 @
http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum ... =61&t=2697[10:05:48] <futurestrack> I hope it is accurate..
[10:06:15] <futurestrack> ...waiting for WRB on TF1M
[10:08:55] <wrbtrader> price action not responding so far to the 10am est KME
[10:10:10] <Corner> Mixed picture, EUR.USD down, CL up GC not doing anything - not in sync
[10:10:26] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2070.75 -> small size
[10:10:32] <wrbtrader> 5 contracts
[10:10:59] <wrbtrader> Yeah...the volatility has come to a crawl in many different key markets
[10:12:27] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2070.75 --> 0
[10:13:19] <wrbtrader> It tried...I thought it was going to run when it reached 2072.00
[10:13:53] <wrbtrader> should'uv gone to a +0.25 trail stop instead of breakeven when it stalled @ 2072.00
[10:27:14] <wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 1250.60 -> small size
[10:27:19] <wrbtrader> 2 contracts
[10:29:13] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 1250.00 --> - 0.6
[10:30:31] <Corner> wrbtrader - I have a question regarding size annotation at ES mini
[10:30:49] <Corner> Why isn't there a medium size at ES mini?
[10:31:20] <Corner> I see small (5 contracts) and large (10-30 contracts) but not medium...
[10:31:33] <wrbtrader> There is...actually its 10
[10:31:42] <wrbtrader> I've just be calling it large
[10:32:35] <wrbtrader> maybe I need a X-Large or SuperSize for anything abouve 15
[10:34:20] <Corner> That would be good. 10-30 is a wide range...
[10:35:06] <wrbtrader> I usually load up when there's a lot of volatility in the morning
[10:35:20] <wrbtrader> If there's a lot of volatility later in the trading day...I won't load up
[10:35:43] <wrbtrader> Much easier to fix trading problems in the morning and have the rest of the day to do it
[10:36:04] <wrbtrader> In contrast, losses late in the day...almost impossible to bounce back from when going large
[10:36:34] <wrbtrader> That little tactic helps me ensure my day closes at a profit
[10:37:27] <Corner> So it's an important target to close the day in profit?
[10:37:44] <wrbtrader> Its important to manage my position size
[10:38:14] <wrbtrader> If I can do that on most of my trades...odds are in my favor in closing the day at a profit
[10:39:27] <Corner> But if a super duper trade trade comes late in the day, you would not risk as much?
[10:39:36] <wrbtrader> Nope
[10:39:39] <wrbtrader> too risky
[10:42:55] <Corner> They have haltet the VXX, never seen that before...
[10:43:32] <wrbtrader> I have but I always thought it was data problems
[10:45:09] <Tigerman__> yeah VXX halted in all my vendors
[10:48:38] <Tigerman__> WOW VXX now quote with a big junp up now at 26.98
[10:48:58] <Tigerman__> but forozen there
[10:49:22] <wrbtrader> maybe a misquote
[10:49:24] <Corner> #*DJ iPath SP 500 VIX Sh Fut (VXX) Halt: Single-Stock Circuit Breaker
[10:49:45] <wrbtrader> Halt...geeesh
[10:50:08] <wrbtrader> That would mean something is occurring in the market that's having an impact on the VXX
[10:51:14] <Corner> But what stock is it?
[11:07:42] <rwbil001> TF volatility going to zero here
[11:08:09] <rwbil001> last few 1 min bars 1 or 2 ticks

[11:12:53] <rwbil001> TF like a coiled spring waiting to pop. I just hope I am awake to catch it when the volatility finally comes in

private chat rooms called
