##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 your 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 Review - This is
not a signal calling trading room. We have no interest in trading rooms where a head trader tells other traders when to buy and sell. This chat room is
free and many years ago it was started by users of WRB Analysis. Our job is to
moderate (keep the peace between members) the chat room and to answer any questions involving WRB Analysis. The purpose of the chat room is 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 the 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. Thus, the usefulness of ##TheStrategyLab chat room is determined via
your participation in the chat room.
Yet, you're not require to use the free chat room as a trade journal to get help with your trading. Instead, as recommended by some users of WRB Analysis, you can use professional journal services such as tradervue, edgewonk, tradebench or tradingdiarypro for your statistical analysis
in combo with our
chat room or your
private thread to discuss with us the statistical analysis of your trading so that we can help you to improve your use of WRB Analysis. Therefore, you have many choices. You can use our chat room (you maintain your own statistics) as a trade journal or you can use professional trade journal services to do the work for you.
Also, do
not attempt to use our chat room as a signal calling trade room via trying to mimic (copy) trades posted by members. If you do such, you will be KICKED from the chat room without warning. In fact, most of the negative commentary about TheStrategyLab website is by traders
after we've removed them from the free chat room, removed them from the forum or removed them from the website for violating our
terms of use policy.
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
reviewing (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

[09:52:44] <wrbtrader> sneaky punk
[09:53:41] <wrbtrader> VIX volatility up in the +13 area but the contraction with chop is suspicious to me even with the pending 2pm KME
[09:54:21] <wrbtrader> We have a 1030am KMEtoo
[09:55:59] <wrbtrader>
[09:56:30] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2170.75 --> + 0.25

[10:11:29] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2169.25 --> + 1.25
[10:15:29] <wrbtrader> The good think about this volatility is that all the Down WRB Hidden GAP intervals have been lower
[10:18:50] <mtntrader____> Hey, wrbtrader, you're back on Twitter!
[10:19:19] <wrbtrader> I've always been there...but only posting privately on twitter
[10:19:30] <wrbtrader> Recently I decided to post publicly
[10:20:19] <mtntrader____> I guess I only follow your public account
[10:21:07] <wrbtrader> Yeah...too many people thought it was a dead account
[10:22:56] <wrbtrader> I use to post a lot on twitter and stocktwits when the program "tweetdeck" was a standalone program
[10:23:34] <wrbtrader> It was an incredible program until they decided to stop marketing the software and make it webbase
[10:23:54] <wrbtrader> It was an excellent mobile app to until they stop supporting it
[10:23:55] <mtntrader____> I used to use tweetdeck, but after Twitter bought it, they made it worse. I still us in on Chrome.
[10:24:07] <wrbtrader> Yeah...exactly
[10:25:00] <wrbtrader> I believe in capitalism but tweetdeck should have never sold out to twitter...program went down hill almost instantly
[10:25:23] <mtntrader____> Agreed
[10:27:37] <wrbtrader> Tweetdeck had that real-time continously search feed...
[10:28:01] <patrader> KME Pending @ 10:30
[10:28:05] <wrbtrader> That thing alone must have help me make about 8k in one year of trading
[10:30:21] <wrbtrader> Just type in a key word and it would continously search for any news on twitter via that key word until you remove the key word
[10:30:41] <mtntrader____> Hmmm... I didn
[10:30:44] <wrbtrader> I used it for personal stuff too
[10:30:50] <mtntrader____> didn't even use that feature.
[10:31:34] <wrbtrader> Yeah, it was my favorite feature
[10:32:15] <wrbtrader> Had they charged a monthly fee of like $50 dollars per month...I would have subscribed
[10:36:09] <wrbtrader> There was an online petition to keep tweetdeck as a standalone software...
[10:36:16] <wrbtrader> 2500 signed it
[10:36:21] <wrbtrader> Twitter didn't care
[10:36:33] <wrbtrader> Most willing to pay a monthly subscribtion fee...
[10:36:40] <wrbtrader> Twitter still didn't care
[10:37:24] <wrbtrader> Not sure what they're up to but I was a little shocked they tore it up like that especially when so many people were willing to pay for it
[10:37:54] <wrbtrader> A lot of companies do that crap
[10:38:11] <wrbtrader> I use to subscribe to Futuresource charting...
[10:38:26] <wrbtrader> eSignal parent company purchased it and then essentially killed it
[10:39:01] <wrbtrader> very strange business practice by some companies after they purchase another company
[10:39:15] <wrbtrader> Why kill the subscriber base but still keep the program
[10:39:16] <mtntrader____> Do you have a favorite twitter client for your phone?
[10:40:42] <wrbtrader> not really
[10:40:50] <wrbtrader> I've tried them all
[10:41:08] <wrbtrader> not all but I've tried a lot of them
[10:41:47] <mtntrader____> I've tried several, too, but haven't found one I like. That's why I was looking for a recommendation. Thx
[10:45:26] <wrbtrader> My iPhone came with Echofon Pro via some promotion
[10:45:32] <wrbtrader> I rarely use it
[10:46:28] <wrbtrader> It has a cool device syncing...useful if you have other Apple products like the Mac
[10:47:51] <wrbtrader> For the record of free advertising...
[10:48:14] <wrbtrader> A few weeks ago I was visiting a friend that has a condo on a 2nd floor...
[10:48:20] <wrbtrader> I had my iPad
[10:48:41] <wrbtrader> Her 2 year daughter picked it up and then tossed it off the balcony
[10:49:03] <wrbtrader> It slammed into the wet grass below
[10:49:10] <wrbtrader> Nothing broke
[10:50:15] <wrbtrader>
[10:51:53] <wrbtrader> By the way...if anybody wanted to know
