##TheStrategyLab primary purpose is for you to post your WRB Analysis, post your price 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.

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

[10:07:18] <Tigerman______> bye
[11:01:51] <wrbtrader> That sucks...
[11:02:14] <wrbtrader> I've had data problems as the big price drops happen today so far...both times
[11:02:42] <wrbtrader> right after each Down WRB HG interval
[11:03:43] <wrbtrader> You know someone hasn't been trading that long when they say the only thing they have to worry about is their trade signals :)
[11:04:13] <wrbtrader> Today is a perfect example how data problems can impact your PnL for the day
[11:05:03] <wrbtrader> I remember last year that "tigerman" consistently had problematic data problems in the morning sessions
[11:07:10] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2345.00 -> large size
[11:07:40] <wrbtrader> another big Down WRB HG interval
[11:07:47] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[11:07:53] <wrbtrader> I'm on the tail in of it
[11:09:29] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2345.00 --> 0
[11:12:42] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2345.25 -> large size
[11:12:51] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[11:13:07] <wrbtrader> re-entry
[11:15:06] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2346.25 --> - 1
[11:16:10] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2347.25 -> large size
[11:16:46] <wrbtrader> Price action returned back to the R area of the most recent down WRB HG interval
[11:19:13] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2346.25 --> - 1
[11:19:32] <wrbtrader> consecutive shakeouts between the R and S areas
[11:20:26] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2345.75 -> large size
[11:20:39] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[11:22:59] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2346.75 --> - 1
[11:23:16] <wrbtrader> back to the R area
[11:24:11] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2347.50 -> large size
[11:24:25] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[11:27:19] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2347.25 --> - 0.25
[11:28:17] <wrbtrader> volatility now contracting
[11:28:33] <wrbtrader> looks like I missed the good volatility on the data problems :(
[11:31:23] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2347.25 -> large size
[11:31:57] <wrbtrader> maybe too small of a long shadow interval I'm trading
[11:37:06] <wrbtrader> :(
[11:37:19] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2345.00 --> + 2.25
[11:37:24] <wrbtrader> Not a WRB pt1...early exit due to data problems again
[11:37:53] <wrbtrader> booting up backup computer for my data
[11:43:08] <wrbtrader> more contraction
[11:43:20] <wrbtrader> I'm now expecting a volatility spike
[11:46:55] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2345.75 -> large size
[11:47:18] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[11:47:24] <wrbtrader> will be a tough trade
[11:50:05] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2343.50 --> + 2.25
[11:50:08] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[11:50:55] <wrbtrader> volatility now choppy...resulting in choppy price action
[11:51:20] <wrbtrader> I wouldn't be surprise if this quickly retraces back upwards
[11:53:07] <wrbtrader> FYI - Don't forget to check at the forum to see if you're still on the access list to see if you can return to ##TheStrategyLab chat room
[11:53:36] <wrbtrader> This is important because most in here are not using the same user name as their forum user name
[11:54:12] <TradeSnake______> Am I alright or will I need to do this?
[11:54:15] <wrbtrader> If you can not access that password access list...just email me your forum user name so that I can put back on the list your user name
[11:54:49] <wrbtrader> I dont know...user names different in here
[11:55:10] <wrbtrader> meant...reason why I don't know is because of different user names in here
[11:55:19] <TradeSnake______> I pretty sure i"m the same in both
[11:55:39] <TradeSnake______> If i run into problems i will email you
[11:55:45] <wrbtrader> Only Tigerman uses the same user name
[11:57:59] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2344.75 -> small size
[11:58:06] <wrbtrader> 5 contracts
[11:58:17] <TradeSnake______> The only thing I don't understand is why there is "_______" behind my name in here
[11:59:04] <wrbtrader> You must have tried it once and its recognizing the IP address with that user name that you tried it once with
[12:00:06] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2343.75 --> - 1
[12:00:52] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2344.00 -> large size
[12:01:12] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[12:01:25] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[12:03:16] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2340.75 --> + 3.25
[12:03:44] <wrbtrader> key markets now out of sync
[12:04:18] <wrbtrader> strange price drop again after the most recent Up WRB Hidden Gap interval because other key markets were not involved
[12:08:10] <wrbtrader> More volatile trading days lately
[12:09:07] <wrbtrader> One of my credit card companies is raising my rates from 8% to 17%
[12:09:20] <wrbtrader> I thought it was a joke until I called them
[12:09:50] <wrbtrader> They said because the U.S. government (FED) raised their rate by 1 point
[12:10:28] <wrbtrader> I then asked them to send me a letter explaining how that 1 point translate into a 11% increase for me
[12:11:13] <TradeSnake______> Wow!
[12:11:25] <wrbtrader> The way things are going in the U.S., I can see me no longer using services in the U.S. and will only use Canadian services
[12:13:24] <wrbtrader> Also, my "self employment" retirement fund is now charging a $25 transaction fee for all deposits
[12:13:29] <wrbtrader> Crazy
[12:14:32] <wrbtrader> I have a feeling its not going to stop there...other fees will be increasing soon
[12:14:53] <wrbtrader> I expect to get something from the brokers within the next few months about increases :(
[12:17:37] <wrbtrader> To bring jobs back to America...expect these types of fee increases
[12:18:47] <wrbtrader> My brother lives in a town dependent upon the auto industry
[12:19:17] <wrbtrader> 8 of his friends are back to work after being unemployed for several years
[12:19:56] <wrbtrader> On the flip side, private day care have increased their rates by 50% since the election
[12:19:59] <wrbtrader> :(
[12:20:22] <wrbtrader> Cost for employment I guess
[12:24:34] <wrbtrader> There was report out in January about consumers not savvy enough to switch banks and credit card companies when rates go up
[12:24:41] <wrbtrader> I'm not one of them :)
[12:25:11] <wrbtrader> If my credit card can't keep my rates the same as a long term client...
[12:25:30] <wrbtrader> I'll find someone else or just close the account and then pay off the balance
[12:26:20] <wrbtrader> Credit card helps because many places don't take credit (only cash)
[12:26:22] <wrbtrader> :(
[12:31:24] <wrbtrader> Just learned that "native americans" in the U.S. are more likely to get shot by police than any other race...proven by statistics
[12:32:07] <wrbtrader> Odd we don't hear about such numbers by the media
[12:35:04] <wrbtrader> In Seattle...I saw a native american shot dead after the guy ignore police to stop after he jaywalked (ignore the don't walk sign)
[12:35:41] <wrbtrader> Cops said he made threats earlier and had been looking for him
[12:36:21] <wrbtrader> I gave my eye witness report to the cops and news media...
[12:36:27] <wrbtrader> Never got a phone call
[12:37:10] * TradeSnake______ is now known as TradeSnake_____
[12:38:17] <wrbtrader> Phoenix Arizona is the fastest rising city to have people killed by Police
[12:38:50] <wrbtrader> Anyways...just bored and reading this stuff
[12:39:11] <wrbtrader> Price action moving around on "contracting volatility" intervals
[12:39:25] <wrbtrader> Mainly stuff I'm not willing to trade
[12:39:37] <wrbtrader> Be right back...gotta go to the pharmacy

[14:59:38] <wrbtrader> When volatility shows up today (its done it a few times)...there's been enough volatility to reach a minimum of WRB pt2 on trades
[15:53:10] <wrbtrader> Market Breadth are really not insync...
[15:53:31] <wrbtrader> Actually they are very confusing to read right now :(
[15:54:06] <wrbtrader> I've notice volatility shows up usually within the 10 minute window BEFORE the 4pm est rush hour traffic
[15:55:59] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2355.00 -> large size
[15:56:07] <wrbtrader> 10 contractes
[15:58:22] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2355.25 --> + 0.25

-------------------------

##TheStrategyLab (located on the Freenode IRC network) is free and is a serious professional trading chat room involving WRB Analysis in which any trader (position trading, swing trading, day trading) can use the chat room to post their trades or commentaries about stocks, futures, exchange traded funds or forex currencies. Simply, you don't need to be a client of TheStrategyLab.com to use the free chat room nor do you need to be a price action trader (no indicators) because some members use indicators while others do not. Yet, the only requirement is that you want to learn WRB Analysis.

Therefore, we welcome all traders that want to learn about WRB Analysis regardless if they are beginners or experience traders in price action trading.

The purpose of ##TheStrategyLab is that it's designed to be a trade journal for documentation purposes only so that members can have a time stamp archive of trades and market commentaries of each trading day so that they can better understand their broker statements from one trade to the next trade when they review their performance numbers on any given trading day.

Quote:
The free chat room is not a signal calling trading room and we do not believe in the business model of a head trader telling other traders when to buy and sell. Its a flawed approach to trading in which a trader can not learn how to be a successful independent trader.

Further, members are not obligated to educate nor help other members but members are encourage to ask questions about any trades or market commentaries that's posted by others because sometimes the answers contains useful trading tips.

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.
