##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.


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

[09:28:54] <wrbtrader> Good morning all

[09:29:31] <wrbtrader> I"m asking because I can't find you at the forum
[09:29:45] <Zetaone> yes
[09:30:09] <wrbtrader> I just sent you a private message aboout the forum
[09:31:46] <werner1> hi wrbtrader
[09:31:50] <Zetaone> replied. I have just logged into the forum as well
[09:33:32] <wrbtrader> Great...I have removed you off of my list of those that have had their user name used by someone illegally
[09:33:34] <werner1> Long Emini NQ @ 5791.00
[09:33:51] <wrbtrader> There's some jerks out there trying to hack into accounts
[09:33:53] <Zetaone> thanks
[09:34:27] <Zetaone> sad reality and getting worse everyday
[09:34:47] <wrbtrader> I've deleted about 9 user account at the free forum and temporarily locked 15 accounts at the fee-base forum
[09:35:10] <werner1> Exited all Emini NQ Long @ 5797.50 --> + 6.5
[09:35:12] <wrbtrader> Caught 3 users "re-selling" my content online with some modifications
[09:35:30] <werner1> wrb pt1
[09:36:27] <wrbtrader> Each year for the past 10 years...I catch about 3 - 5 users illegally violating my copyright
[09:37:36] <Zetaone> )
[09:39:25] <wrbtrader> Oddly...they're linking to my website but the payment links is to places in India, Russia, Thailand, Italy, California, Texas and Florida.
[09:39:56] <wrbtrader> Google is good in removing all the information...
[09:40:20] <werner1> hihi no holland
[09:40:38] <Zetaone> Florida is always in the mix somewhere!
[09:41:07] <wrbtrader> I just need to alert them and the site and email address are by Google. Google even alerts other search engines and some international databases
[09:41:34] <wrbtrader> One guy had a 500k business illegally reselling copyright products
[09:42:01] <wrbtrader> His mistake was when he tried to resell my product among his illegal other products
[09:42:23] <wrbtrader> I got his website, facebook and blog
[09:42:32] <wrbtrader> He was in business for about 5 yeares
[09:42:40] <Zetaone> wow
[09:43:31] <wrbtrader> Its people like that is the reason why I don't put "everything" in the WRB Analysis Tutorials or the Trading Reports
[09:44:02] <wrbtrader> I save a bulk of the information for private messaging (answering questions) at the forum and chat room
[09:45:22] <werner1> nq new highs
[09:46:58] <wrbtrader> I've been seeing more messsages about the market manipulation via options like VIX options
[09:47:12] <wrbtrader> More firms complaining
[09:49:11] <werner1>
[09:52:28] <wrbtrader> I found out over the weekend something strange about Inteeractive Brokers
[09:53:29] <wrbtrader> Someone asked a forum question about Emini ES quotes at IB that show things like 2416.60
[09:53:50] <wrbtrader> or 2416.82
[09:54:25] <wrbtrader> IB responded via saying they are trades "between" the Ask and Bid
[09:54:35] <wrbtrader> Craziest thing I ever heard
[09:54:56] <werner1> nuts
[09:55:01] <wrbtrader> Not sure how that's possible
[09:55:31] <wrbtrader> ES trades in .25 increments...not between the bid/ask
[09:55:46] <werner1> indd
[09:56:09] <wrbtrader> 4 ticks per point
[09:57:25] <wrbtrader> I just wanted to put that comments in this log because the logs are cache by Google a few times per month
[09:57:47] <wrbtrader> Just in case someone else has strange fills at Interactive Brokers
[09:58:27] <wrbtrader> I think he should find another broker
[10:14:50] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2408.50 -> large size
[10:14:58] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[10:15:47] <wrbtrader> I think I'm too close to the most recent reaction low with this trade
[10:20:53] <wrbtrader> long lower shadow formed in my entry interval...
[10:21:04] <wrbtrader> Very strange...
[10:35:21] <werner1> Long Emini NQ @ 5797.25
[10:36:53] <Zetaone> Wrbtrader - Did you close your positions?
[10:37:07] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2411.00 --> - 2.5
[10:37:07] <werner1> Exited all Emini NQ Long @ 5798.25 --> + 1
[10:37:35] <werner1> ow sorry??
[10:38:39] <wrbtrader> ES near the prior fill of an Up WRB Hidden Gap interval
[10:38:47] <werner1> ah np
[10:39:32] <werner1>
[10:41:00] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2411.75 -> large size
[10:41:16] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[10:41:35] <wrbtrader> ES now above the fill of the WRB Hidden Gap interval
[10:42:18] <wrbtrader> I'm trading the "prior fills" after some extensive testing
[10:42:37] <wrbtrader> The problem is whe the WRB Hidden GAP fill is too large
[10:42:44] <wrbtrader> makes for a large stop
[10:43:46] <wrbtrader> The volatility is consistently low...the stops have a low probability of being hit
[10:44:09] <wrbtrader> Guess what...first time I tried it today...it gets hit
[10:46:04] <wrbtrader> The number of long shadow intervals has increased 68% for the year 2017 in comparison to the prior 3 years
[10:47:06] <wrbtrader> That's a scary number considering "long shadow intervals" usually set a reaction high/low...good for stops and trail stop management
[10:47:18] <wrbtrader> That has not been the case this year
[10:47:54] <wrbtrader> Some clients have read the "manipulation" links I've posted recently...
[10:48:53] <wrbtrader> They're now following the options on the VIX and S&P 500 to see if there are any clues for trading this low volatity conditions in the Emini ES futures
[10:57:39] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2412.00 --> + 0.25
[11:43:38] <wrbtrader> Emini ES seems stuck in the price area between 2412.50 to 2411.00
[11:44:09] <wrbtrader> That's a small trading range now that more ticks are cumulating in that area
[12:14:19] <werner1> mmm dead zone
[12:31:50] <werner1> Long Emini NQ @ 5800.50
[12:32:54] <Donnin______> cl is how the es was back in 2016
[12:33:11] <Donnin______> when we where making 40pt ranges on es
[12:33:17] <Donnin______> regularly
[12:34:27] <wrbtrader> agree
[12:35:00] <wrbtrader> I was talking to someone that's a veteran of trading the OPTIONs on the S&P 500
[12:37:44] <Donnin______> while im not live i can learn of the same moves its making currently for when the es does pick back up
[12:38:40] <werner1> Exited all Emini NQ Long @ 5799.00 --> - 1.5
[12:39:38] <werner1> Shorts Emini NQ @ 5799.50
[12:39:55] <Donnin______> would you suggest anyone outside of this room as a mentor or maybe a private tutor someone as successful
[12:43:26] <werner1> diner here...stp and target set..
[12:56:36] <wrbtrader> Anybody tehat
[12:57:02] <wrbtrader> Anybody that's been to my website knows how I personally feel about "mentors"
[12:57:19] <wrbtrader> Quick Summary:
[12:57:43] <wrbtrader> Most people don't know what they want a mentor to do for them. Thus, they get the wrong mentor
[12:57:51] <wrbtrader> Its a problematic industry
[12:58:17] <wrbtrader> I don't speak highly of mentors...
[12:59:04] <wrbtrader> Except those that mentors IN PERSON from their own trading accounts and its 100% refundable if the mentor trades at a lose in front of a student
[12:59:25] <wrbtrader> I do not believe in ONLINE mentoring...
[12:59:33] <wrbtrader> It can't be done with success
[12:59:41] <wrbtrader> Just my personal feelings about such
[13:00:10] <wrbtrader> I don't know any OPTIONS mentors
[13:00:26] <Donnin______> i see
[13:00:31] <wrbtrader> The only one I knew in tehe past is dead...he died 10 years ago
[13:01:09] <wrbtrader> He died at 75 years old of a brain tumor
[13:01:26] <Donnin______> ouch
[13:01:53] <wrbtrader> There's a lot on ONLINE mentors but I don't recommend any of them
[13:02:01] <Donnin______> resting now out of pain
[13:02:46] <wrbtrader> Mentoring is hard and should only be done IN PERSON in the mentors office and then in the students office...whichever is agreed to occur first but both is needed
[13:03:06] <Donnin______> i agree
[13:03:19] <Donnin______> i wish i could fly out to you and learn
[13:03:26] <wrbtrader> Too many students not trading in a suitable trading environment. In fact, they are often hiding their trading environments from those doing the mentoring
[13:04:22] <wrbtrader> Mentor just wants the money...doesn't occur if the student is trading from prison
[13:05:16] <wrbtrader> There's this guy at Elitetrader.com that stated a few years ago that he was in prison for about 10 years
[13:05:40] <wrbtrader> Yet, in those 10 years...he tried 3 online mentors
[13:05:45] <Donnin______> well there are screen charing platforms
[13:05:53] <wrbtrader> All of them didn't work
[13:06:31] <Donnin______> i just think there are not any successful mentors out there online or not
[13:07:11] <wrbtrader> I think there are successful mentors but they just aren't online advertising it
[13:07:19] <Donnin______> right
[13:07:53] <wrbtrader> There's this guy in Chicago that use to post live trading videos on Youtube...a futures trader
[13:08:17] <wrbtrader> I remember someone asking him whom are the other people in his office
[13:08:49] <wrbtrader> He said they are friends from the neighborhoo "learning how to trade"
[13:09:13] <wrbtrader> Then a few people from Chicago asked could they visit his office
[13:09:19] <wrbtrader> He said Yes
[13:09:25] <wrbtrader> Nice guy right
[13:10:16] <wrbtrader> Soon afterwards...someone breaks into his office and robs his and his wife w/kid at gun point
[13:10:25] <wrbtrader> That's his reward for helping
[13:11:32] <wrbtrader> Gotta be careful these days online...folks are hiding a lot via anonymous user names...pretending to be interested in mentoring
[13:11:33] <Zetaone> oh no - lets hope that it was not connected
[13:12:08] <wrbtrader> I shared my office once online...never again
[13:12:44] <wrbtrader> Some guy showed up one day unannounce and was in my back yard talking to my kids that were playing on the trampoline
[13:13:02] <wrbtrader> Scared the hell out of me
[13:13:18] <Zetaone> i guess that the proverb "No good deed ever goes unpunished" has some validity
[13:13:25] <wrbtrader> I was in the house with the windows open and heard my kids talking to some stranger
[13:13:36] <Zetaone> scary thought
[13:14:13] <wrbtrader> He apologize and said he just wanted to check on my trading office to get some office tips
[13:14:28] <wrbtrader> He left without visiting my office...never saw him again
[13:15:22] <wrbtrader> Just very suspicious behavior
[13:16:09] <wrbtrader> He left after I asked him for ID such as a drivers license for me to right down the information
[13:16:42] <wrbtrader> Neighbor next door was in his pool watching the entire thing go down
[13:16:57] <Zetaone> wrong at so many levels
[13:17:11] <wrbtrader> Neighbor thought the guy was "a friend" because he was so friendly with my kids
[13:18:00] <wrbtrader> I only suspectecd he was someone from online because it was online where I shared details about my office
[13:18:25] <wrbtrader> My neighbors don't know anything about my home office but this guy knew a lot
[13:19:17] <wrbtrader> There's a thread at Elitetrader.com where people share photos of their trading office
[13:19:34] <wrbtrader> You can clearly see the window and sometimes what's outside the window
[13:19:58] <wrbtrader> Some people would reply and guess correctly the specific city the person was located in
[13:20:42] <wrbtrader> May not sound like a big deal but recently I read that if you post an image online...there's recognition software by Google or somebody that can give your location
[13:21:00] <wrbtrader> That's scary
[13:21:39] <Zetaone> the photos you take on your smart phone has encoding for gis
[13:22:35] <wrbtrader> Wouldn't that encoding disappear if you post an image online for sharing
[13:23:36] <wrbtrader> Oddly, the only 3 females we've had here in the chat room in the past...
[13:23:40] <Zetaone> depends how they were uploaded.
[13:24:03] <wrbtrader> Only had stalkers that they blamed on a few from the chat room
[13:24:10] <Zetaone> every phone manufacturer is different
[13:24:30] <wrbtrader> I thought it was a joke the first time until I got complaints from two others
[13:25:37] <wrbtrader> I didn't have anything bad said about the chat room until I 3 specific members for "sexual harrassing" of other members
[13:25:50] <wrbtrader> Three members still bad mouthing me
[13:26:47] <wrbtrader> I just don't understand all this type of bad behavior online
[13:28:09] <wrbtrader> Its one of the main reasons why I don't have personal social media accounts like facebook, twitter, snapchat or whatever
[13:28:37] <wrbtrader> I know a few that have those accounts...nothing but crap socialization
[13:29:20] <wrbtrader> A buddy of mine meets different girls every month on facebook...he brags about them too...the ones he's with
[13:29:26] <wrbtrader> Crazy
[13:30:10] <Zetaone> lol
[13:30:32] <Zetaone> obviously its working for him!
[13:30:45] <wrbtrader> Kind'uv reminds me a little about a few i've caught reselling my methods...cheaper or 5x more expensive
[13:31:36] <wrbtrader> They don't realize I would have worked with them if they had just made translations into their language
[13:32:16] <wrbtrader> They could then set their own price and just give me a translated copy
[13:33:09] <wrbtrader> Some have even coded the stuff but they don't share it with me
[13:33:25] <wrbtrader> That's my reward
[13:33:48] <Zetaone> what do you mean "coded"
[13:33:59] <wrbtrader> Computer programmed
[13:34:07] <Zetaone> ok
[13:34:42] <werner1> Covered all Emini NQ Short @ 5797.50 --> + 2
[13:34:55] <wrbtrader> One guy stated he can program anything...he's a quant
[13:35:14] <wrbtrader> I challenge him to program the WRB Analysis free study guide
[13:35:23] <wrbtrader> A few months later...he did
[13:35:32] <Zetaone> wow
[13:35:35] <wrbtrader> Meant...it took him a few months
[13:37:05] <werner1>
[13:38:02] <Donnin______> i wish youuld do video lessions wrb
[13:38:31] <wrbtrader> I did in the past but not what I would call "lessons"
[13:39:46] <Donnin______> of the free analysis
[13:39:51] <Donnin______> that would be cool
[13:39:52] <wrbtrader> I did the free study guide as text examples...people had a lot of problems understanding what was a WRB, WRB Hidden GAP, reaction high/low, contracting volatility, filled WRB Hidden GAP and chapter 3 WRB Zones
[13:40:06] <wrbtrader> They were stored on Youtube
[13:40:19] <wrbtrader> Nobody liked them
[13:40:38] <wrbtrader> There was about 65 members in here
[13:40:42] <Donnin______> let me take a listen
[13:40:47] <wrbtrader> Only 7 logged in
[13:41:51] <wrbtrader> They were's audio...just videos without audio
[13:42:13] <Zetaone> are those videos still on YT?
[13:42:34] <wrbtrader> No...I took them down when I closed that Youtube account
[13:42:58] <wrbtrader> Fall of 2010
[13:43:13] <wrbtrader> They were up about 5 months
[13:43:21] <Zetaone> ok. but i do agree with the comment that it would be great to have some vidoes explaining the concepts
[13:43:41] <wrbtrader> I agree
[13:44:12] <wrbtrader> I get a lot of questions about "what is a WRB" or "what is a WRB Hidden Gap" interval
[13:44:57] <wrbtrader> A lot of questions about simple concepts that I think the videos "may" clear up even though I thought in error that the charts and statements in the study guide were clear
[13:45:28] <Zetaone> or even a video of an actual trade with the intervals being shown would be helpful
[13:46:11] <wrbtrader> They were all trade videos via Infinity, Velocity and a few from IB
[13:46:23] <Zetaone> ok
[13:47:35] <wrbtrader> Some said they couldn't understand my English or that I had bad English...too frenchy too them
[13:47:37] <wrbtrader>
[13:48:14] <wrbtrader> In reference too the first 3 videos
[13:48:24] <wrbtrader> After that...I didn't do the audios anymore
[13:48:57] <wrbtrader> My English is a lot better now and I will do videos again
[13:49:15] <Zetaone> awesome
[13:49:56] <Donnin______> great
[13:49:58] <wrbtrader> I will start with Chapter 3 because its the chapter I get the most questions about...some just completely lost with that chapter while most others say its easy to understand
[13:51:18] <wrbtrader> I have come to the conclusion...some understand it and others don't understand
[13:51:30] <wrbtrader> I use to post images of my screen
[13:51:57] <wrbtrader> People would try to "duplicate" but complain they couldn't...there screen was too small or something
[13:52:56] <wrbtrader> I forgot to mention after a few years of such that I trade via 3 large HDMI TV screens
[13:53:30] <wrbtrader> After that...I just post images via my laptop screen
[13:55:22] <wrbtrader> At that time...Techsmith Snagit (image capture) didn't have the capability to do screen capture for all 3 screens to make it less work for me
[13:55:52] <wrbtrader> It can only do one screen at a time...a pain in a butt
[13:56:45] <wrbtrader> Emini ES futures still near that 2412.50 price area
[13:57:10] <wrbtrader> It briefly tested 2414.50 but quickly retracecd
[13:57:58] <wrbtrader> all of it still inside the range of a big Down WRB Hidden Gap interval from the overnight trading data
[13:58:17] <wrbtrader> 15min chart
[13:58:31] <wrbtrader> That's the reason why some asked for videos...
[13:58:46] <wrbtrader> My explanations in the chat room wasn't clear
[13:59:02] <wrbtrader> That's why I now mention the chart intervals I'm looking at
[13:59:08] <Zetaone> oh boy
[13:59:24] <Zetaone> Cant please everyone!
[13:59:46] <wrbtrader> A lot easier to just say it than to try to put together a video of it
[14:00:53] <wrbtrader> R area @ 2414 and S area @ 2412.00 with one of my data vendors and another has the S area @ 2412.50
[14:00:55] <wrbtrader>
[14:01:14] <wrbtrader> That's something else I've notice with the low volatility
[14:01:28] <wrbtrader> More differences in the data between different data vendors
[14:01:55] <wrbtrader> in reference to the intraday data
[14:02:14] <wrbtrader> Daily charts usually look the same from one provider to another
[14:02:22] <wrbtrader> The problem is on the intraday datea
[14:03:16] <werner1>
[14:03:41] <wrbtrader> Off topic...
[14:04:28] <wrbtrader> You all know about my medical problems last fall 2016 and the type of restrictions I'm on until November 2017
[14:04:42] <wrbtrader> One of the restrictions is "no driving"
[14:04:52] <wrbtrader> I talked about it once in here
[14:05:08] <wrbtrader> Thus, I get around a lot by bus, bike or taxi
[14:05:31] <Zetaone> uber is quite good here
[14:05:35] <wrbtrader> The other day I'm taking the bus with one of my son to go see a movie
[14:06:01] <wrbtrader> I meet this interesting college student in the lobby at the theatre
[14:06:16] <wrbtrader> I asked he what she did for a living
[14:06:28] <wrbtrader> She stated and gave me here business card
[14:06:42] <wrbtrader> Tech. Orgasm Scolaire
[14:06:47] <wrbtrader>
[14:06:56] <wrbtrader> I asked her is this a joke
[14:07:10] <Zetaone> Did your kids ask what that meant?
[14:07:11] <wrbtrader> She smiled and said...
[14:07:17] <wrbtrader> "No...its for real"
[14:07:49] <wrbtrader> No...I didn't show it do him but he smiled when she said it to me
[14:08:02] <Zetaone> lol
[14:08:05] <wrbtrader> He didn't ask any questions but had a grin on his face
[14:08:45] <Donnin______> he prob had tons qs for you lol
[14:09:05] <wrbtrader> I realized later but the card looked so new...
[14:09:22] <wrbtrader> It must be a misprint
[14:09:44] <wrbtrader> and she's not aware of the problem
[14:10:11] <wrbtrader> Yet, doesn't anybody examine their new business cards ??
[14:10:21] <wrbtrader> I know I would
[14:11:14] <wrbtrader> She had a strong accent...she's obviously from France but studying in Quebec
[14:12:38] <wrbtrader> Reminds me of people that are real "sex therapists"
[14:12:58] <wrbtrader> How the heck do these people get college degrees for such
[14:13:54] <wrbtrader> Anyways, that was my only humor of the holiday weekend
[14:15:21] <wrbtrader> I won't call...she may be an undercover cop
[14:18:55] <wrbtrader> Emini ES futures had a chance to develop decent volatility but didn't
[14:19:15] <wrbtrader> The VIX in contrast is slowly dropping back down
[14:20:41] <wrbtrader> Wish I could find some quick reads with more discussion about the volatility problems and the so called manipulation via the S&P 500 options and VIX
[14:21:27] <wrbtrader> Whens the next options expiration dates
[14:21:41] <wrbtrader> These are things that maybe we should be paying attention too
[14:22:13] <wrbtrader> The day before and day of the expirations
[14:22:46] <wrbtrader> Maybe have more attention to the entire week of the expiration
[14:23:04] <wrbtrader> I curious if there will be LESS volatility or MORE volatility
[14:25:10] <wrbtrader> Offtopic...
[14:26:07] <wrbtrader> Its Good to be Lindsey Vonn, Two Years after Tiger Breakout (NYP) @ http://nypost.com/2017/05/30/its-good-t ... p/?ref=yfp
[14:27:01] <wrbtrader> Thats how boring the Emini ES futures is today...
[14:27:12] <wrbtrader> I'm looking at pics of Linsey Vonn
[14:27:54] <Zetaone> but a sad picture of Tiger
[14:28:15] <wrbtrader> He made all his money years ago
[14:28:30] <wrbtrader> Yet, not sure how much the ex-wife is still getting
[14:29:02] <wrbtrader> I'm sure his doctor must have told him not to take his meds and drive
[14:29:10] <wrbtrader> Mine did
[14:29:31] <wrbtrader> That's why I have a medical restriction...I'm not allowed to drive because of my medications
[14:30:15] <wrbtrader> Maybe he's too proud to ask for someone to drive him around
[14:32:59] <wrbtrader> Hope he's not addicted to his meds...
[14:33:15] <wrbtrader> 4 back surgeries over the recent years
[14:33:30] <wrbtrader> Thats a lot of years to be on strong pain killers
[14:33:51] <wrbtrader> I personally know a few people addicted to their prescription medications
[14:34:18] <wrbtrader> Its a serious problem with many famous athletes
[14:34:37] <wrbtrader> I remember Sidney Crosby talking about it on TV...
[14:34:47] <wrbtrader> He has a fear of becoming addicted
[14:35:59] <wrbtrader> The football coach of my son team...
[14:36:40] <wrbtrader> The coach talked about his addiction of 3 years to prescription medications that he was taking for a blown out knee that he had 3 surgeries on
[14:37:16] <wrbtrader> Serious problems that resulted in a stint in rehab for the addiction
[15:44:14] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2413.00 -> large size
[15:44:29] <wrbtrader> 5 and then 5 again
[15:44:39] <wrbtrader> meant contracts
[15:45:31] <wrbtrader> Also, that's the mid range of an earlier Down WRB Hidden Gap interval I mentioned
[15:46:23] <wrbtrader> Emini ES futures has recently the past 50 minutes been trading around that midpoint area
[15:46:35] <wrbtrader> pivot point
[15:49:44] <wrbtrader> This tennis player got from playing anymore at the French Open @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PePSfdllHls
[15:50:19] <wrbtrader> Its funny...he and the reporter have "kissed before" and they were just goofing around this time
[15:50:21] <wrbtrader>
[15:51:25] <Donnin______> hes stupid to not be reading her body signs
[15:51:47] <Donnin______> and to not consider shes live on air
[15:52:18] <wrbtrader> She did that before on live TV with some soccer players
[15:52:32] <wrbtrader> She said she doesn't like it because they "SMELL"
[15:52:34] <wrbtrader>
[15:53:24] <Donnin______> she did what all i saw her doing is pushing away
[15:53:38] <wrbtrader> Yet, she did exchange the customary kisses with a coach...
[15:53:56] <wrbtrader> kiss on one cheek and then kiss on the other cheek
[15:54:18] <wrbtrader> Its customary (maybe I didn't spell it correctly)
[15:55:42] <wrbtrader> I see french reporters do it all the time not with just athletes...anyone important
[15:57:59] <wrbtrader> The new french president did it when he met the Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau and his wife
[15:58:14] <wrbtrader> He kissed her on one cheek and then the other cheek
[15:58:26] <wrbtrader> Yet, if someone pulls away the first time...
[15:58:31] <wrbtrader> Don't try it again
[15:58:56] <wrbtrader> That tennis player tried it again after she obviously didn't want to be kiss
[15:59:38] <wrbtrader> He should have stopped the first time after she clearly didn't like it
[16:00:19] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2411.75 --> - 1.25
[16:00:52] <wrbtrader> Emini ES futures back inside that range of that prior contracting range discussed earlier
[16:02:12] <wrbtrader> I've seen her interview F1 car drivers
[16:02:23] <wrbtrader> Never any problems when they kissed her
[16:03:19] <wrbtrader> My guess...that tennis player...has really bad breadth
[16:03:37] <wrbtrader> She seemed to be dodging more than just the kiss
[16:07:42] <wrbtrader> Another French player will mostly likely be fined because he didn't shake the hand of someone that beat him today although the he was refusing to shake hands because the other guy had been taunting him loudly during the match
[16:09:27] <wrbtrader> Emini ES futures intraday range today about 6.75
[16:10:04] <wrbtrader> 4 points of that spent in a trading range of long shadow intervals
[16:11:57] <wrbtrader> Today's Emini ES futures 1min chart looks scary
[16:12:27] <wrbtrader> Looks like one of those trading instruments that not very active
[16:12:58] <wrbtrader> I was talking in private message with another chat room owner today...
[16:13:17] <wrbtrader> He said since the volatility dried up last fall...
[16:13:30] <wrbtrader> He's lost 75% of his members
[16:13:47] <wrbtrader> A few will show up again the day after a volatility spike
[16:14:04] <wrbtrader> Yet, they'll quickly leave again when volatility goes away
[16:14:17] <Donnin______> he trades just emni/
[16:14:41] <wrbtrader> All futures and everything else
[16:15:08] <wrbtrader> He's been promoting Forex lately to bring in some new members because Forex is more active
[16:15:45] <Donnin______> can he trade?
[16:26:44] <wrbtrader> I don't know
[16:26:56] <wrbtrader> He doesn't post his trades
[16:27:03] <wrbtrader> Others do
[16:27:49] <wrbtrader> In fact, I've never seen him post a trade
[16:27:51] <wrbtrader>
[16:29:02] <wrbtrader> I know he's done video chats with people to help them fix easylanguage problems with TradeStation
[16:29:34] <wrbtrader> Most chat room operators these days seem to be stuff like that...
[16:29:55] <wrbtrader> Helping members with their trading software problems
[16:30:13] <wrbtrader> I guess the markets are that boring
[16:31:04] <wrbtrader> My son called me from school earlier today...
[16:31:19] <wrbtrader> He called me to say I should find another job
[16:31:21] <wrbtrader>
[16:31:44] <wrbtrader> He thinks the markets are not good for my health and he worries about me
[16:31:46] <Donnin______> so he olffers advise
[16:32:00] <wrbtrader> I think he's worried
[16:32:24] <wrbtrader> I was caught of guard by what he said
[16:32:27] <Donnin______> not good for heath ur your own boss
[16:33:10] <wrbtrader> I do know when a person is "not" healthy...trading can cause problems
[16:33:41] <wrbtrader> Yet, this market is too boring...I take a lot of breaks from trading during the trading day. Every trading day
[16:33:44] <Donnin______> will ur children follow ur steps
[16:34:00] <wrbtrader> Right now I can say NO
[16:34:35] <wrbtrader> One wants to be a football player and the other wants to be a hockey player...professional
[16:35:15] <wrbtrader> Both have a small chance with the way they're developing although I wish they played other sports they excel in
[16:36:17] <wrbtrader> One use to love rowing...he was on the Quebec junior team
[16:36:28] <wrbtrader> Two years ago...he just quit
[16:36:41] <wrbtrader> Said he wanted to concentrate on football
[16:36:54] <wrbtrader> The other was great in soccer and baseball...
[16:36:58] <wrbtrader> He quit too
[16:37:06] <wrbtrader> He just wanted to play hockey
[16:37:40] <wrbtrader> Now I have a used sports store at home...a ton of sports equipement
[16:37:55] <wrbtrader> Time for a yard sale
[16:40:19] <wrbtrader> I spent much of today watching the EuroFX futures while I was trading Emini ES futures
[16:41:00] <wrbtrader> There's some good movement in the Euro
[16:41:09] <wrbtrader> A lot better than the Emini ES futures
[16:41:28] <Donnin______> which instrument
[16:41:43] <wrbtrader> EuroFX 6E futures
[16:41:48] <Donnin______> i see
[16:43:23] <wrbtrader> The think I like is that when it moves and has trade signals...it moves to WRB pt1 and pt2 levels before trying any reverse movements
[16:43:30] <wrbtrader> Long or Short
[16:43:37] <wrbtrader> There's consistency with it
[16:44:07] <wrbtrader> Doesn't seem like it will shake you out of any directional movement
[16:45:08] <wrbtrader> There was a website that gave "monthly" volatility reports about ALL the futures trading instruments
[16:45:23] <wrbtrader> It ranked them on liquidity and volatility
[16:45:54] <wrbtrader> Emini ES futures was consistently (prior to 2016) in the top 10
[16:46:17] <wrbtrader> That site is no longer available but I'm strongly curious about the rankings now
[16:46:30] <wrbtrader> I bet Emini ES futures would no longer be in the top 10
[16:48:42] <wrbtrader> Not cool about a new feature by Bloomberg that's being used now these days by many websites...
[16:49:04] <wrbtrader> They automatically send you to content associated with your country
[16:49:15] <wrbtrader> /
[16:49:34] <wrbtrader> It won't let me go to the US version\
[16:50:26] <wrbtrader> Even when I click on the US version...it switchs me to the Canadian version
[16:51:25] <wrbtrader> Yahoo tried that some years back and lost a lot of customers
[16:53:08] <wrbtrader> U.S. Stocks Slip From Records, Treasuries Advance: Markets Wrap (Bloomberg) @ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... rkets-wrap
[16:53:41] <wrbtrader> Very difficult for me to get that link
[17:20:07] <wrbtrader> A losing trading day...just 3 trades...only one small winner for a tick
[17:20:14] <wrbtrader> Take care all and see all tomorrow
Session Close: Wed May 31 00:00:00 2017
