##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

all
[09:38:14] <wrbtrader> Volume should be light today
[09:38:23] <wrbtrader> Canada is a major player in futures
[09:38:33] <wrbtrader> Its a national holiday here
[09:40:27] <irza> does market usually have a bullish bias into a holiday?
[09:41:15] <wrbtrader> U.S. Holiday
[09:41:58] <irza> like in general, i mean worldwide
[09:42:09] <irza> e.g. last week monday was german, french bank holiday
[09:47:58] <wrbtrader> I don't know if its bullish or bearish
[09:48:02] <wrbtrader> I do know this...
[09:48:35] <wrbtrader> Each holiday has a "market tendency" (bullish or bearish) involving entering the holiday or the day after the holiday
[09:49:06] <wrbtrader> Some news like Bloomberg will once in awhile mention something specific to a specific holiday
[09:49:32] <wrbtrader> Just remember, those tendencies are specific to the general market.
[09:49:42] <irza> tx
[09:50:27] <wrbtrader> Holiday, Presidential Elections or anything that has a designated day and repeats every year or few years...
[09:50:41] <wrbtrader> That can be plotted if you have access to historical data
[09:51:17] <wrbtrader> Lots of market tendencies...
[09:51:31] <wrbtrader> For example...the week of a quadruple witching...
[09:51:47] <wrbtrader> That Monday, Tuesday will often produce a trend day
[09:51:56] <irza> bullish?
[09:52:09] <wrbtrader> That type of info is helpful for trade managent
[09:52:14] <wrbtrader> management
[09:52:22] <irza> yea
[09:52:44] <wrbtrader> For example, pretend its quad week and a Tuesday and its a downtrend early in the morning...
[09:53:14] <irza> so u assume trend day down for that day?
[09:53:32] <irza> until something negates that thesis?
[09:54:42] <wrbtrader> Yes but the issue is that in the Short positions...
[09:55:01] <wrbtrader> I'm going to make an effort to hold my Shorts longer even AFTER reaching a profit target
[09:55:27] <wrbtrader> Another tendency...U.S. Presidential Elections
[09:55:41] <wrbtrader> They tend to cause bullish price actions
[09:56:24] <wrbtrader> In fact, there are specific days in which someone can go Long and then hold that position and then exit the Long position involving the U.S. Presidential Election
[09:56:42] <wrbtrader> I don't know the specific trading days but I do tend to have more Long positions then Short positions
[09:56:54] <irza> good info thanks
[09:57:10] <wrbtrader> There's also your own "trading tendencies"...
[09:57:31] <wrbtrader> For example...my first 3 trades tend to result as a profit
[09:57:49] <wrbtrader> That's why I tend to push the position size in my first three trades in the morning
[09:58:09] <wrbtrader> I'm exploiting a "trading tendency" in my own trading
[09:58:28] <wrbtrader> It works the same for losses...
[09:58:50] <wrbtrader> Pretend you "tend" to get losses between 12noon to 1pm est...
[09:59:15] <wrbtrader> You know then its a good time to LOWER your position size or don't trade at all or take quick profits
[09:59:50] <wrbtrader> Understanding your own "trading tendencies" will increase the chances for consistent profitable trading
[10:03:29] <irza> yep
[10:14:35] <irza> Long Emini ES @ 49.5 -> small size
[10:22:09] <irza> exit stop raised Emini ES @ 48.5
[10:31:41] <irza> probably should had taken +3, oh well
[10:31:43] <irza> working on it
[10:32:09] <irza> thinking 54 as long as my stop holds
[10:40:45] <Stone9> market looks pretty balanced. planning on trying to buy low
[10:40:47] <Stone9> in hopes of breakout later
[10:42:16] <irza> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 49.5 --> 0
[11:12:44] <irza> wrb, u are very disciplined in light volume days, i would have thought u would be taking trades left and right, but you seem to be waiting for the right moment to engage

In addition, our primary job in the
free chat room is to moderate the room (keep the peace) because with so many members using different trade signal methods along with different opinions about the market...debates or arguments can easily flare up without moderating. In addition, our presence in the chat room is to ensure it's a
spam free chat room during trading although these archived chat logs may contain advertisements for guest visitors.

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.
