##TheStrategyLab primary purpose is for you to post your WRB Analysis, post your price action action analysis, ask real-time questions about WRB Analysis or post your real-time trades in a timestamp environment...the free chat room is a trade journal of your trading day (thoughts and trades). In fact, if you think the only feedback you need is your broker statements...the free chat room will be a waste of your time and you will increase the odds of failing at trading.

The free chat room is located on the Freenode IRC network along with being a serious professional trading chat room for traders that want to talk about your use of 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) merged with your trade methods to improve the performance of their trade methods regardless if you're a position trader, swing trader or day trader. Therefore, you're welcome to use the free 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 because the business model for such isn't suitable for helping traders to succeed as independent traders. 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. Once again, the purpose of the free 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 thoughts and how you interacted with the markets 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. You can then request a private thread for you to share the professional journal analysis of your trading with us for us to review. 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.


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 @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum/viewforum.php?f=164

[14:35:02] <wrbtrader> Its there now
[14:35:16] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[14:45:18] <wrbtrader> S area of the most recent Down WRB Hidden Gap interval is providing weak support on the 1min chart

[14:57:21] <mtntrader____> Yeah, and the NQ isn't declining either. Just the ES. Interesting.
[14:58:09] <wrbtrader> Looks like its YM/ES lacking correlation with NQ/TF
[15:01:25] <wrbtrader> Support found and buyers showed up
[15:03:17] <mtntrader____> I am surprised you stayed in through that retracement.
[15:04:33] <wrbtrader> I'm looking for a long intraday hold but its now in danger...may have to dump it if it creeps higher after bouncing off the 2270 level
[15:05:16] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2273.25 --> + 2
[15:06:18] <wrbtrader> trail stop was at the R area of the Down WRB Hidden Gap after the reaction high of 1440pm est

[15:57:00] <wrbtrader> The AD lines gapped up two times
[15:57:54] <mtntrader____> Hmmmm.... good clue, but price is just staying in chop here.
[15:58:25] <wrbtrader> The only times when gaps appear like that is because several heavy weighted stocks made sudden big movements...maybe industry correlated
[15:58:58] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2274.75 -> small size
[15:59:05] <wrbtrader> re-entry
[16:01:27] <wrbtrader> a lot of volatility into the 4pm est rush hour traffic...
