##TheStrategyLab primary purpose is for you to use the free chat room as a trade journal of your trades via you posting WRB Analysis of the price action you see on your monitors, posting price action analysis, ask real-time questions about WRB Analysis or posting your real-time trades (simulator or real money) in a timestamp environment after you've received confirmation from your broker trade execution platform. Simply, 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 and you decide to not discuss WRB Analysis nor post any real-time information about how you're viewing the markets nor post real-time trades...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 their 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 their trade methods to improve the performance of their trade methods regardless if they're a position trader, swing trader, day trader, trend trader or range 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.

With that said, thanks for reviewing (reading) the below timestamped trades, price action analysis or market commentaries 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

[10:01:41] <Tigerman______> yes help to see liquidity in out
[10:01:41] <wrbtrader> I'm not much of a DOM trader...reason why I rarely pay attention to the bid/ask, market depth (liquidity) info
[10:02:02] <Tigerman______> only it is vry demanding as eyes strain
[10:02:20] <wrbtrader> I strongly believe to many games are being played with that info by the big boys especially by algorithms
[10:03:17] <wrbtrader> Yet, if I was doing scalping or using a scalpers trading tools...DOM trading would be a must

[10:14:27] <wrbtrader> I think it actually helped save my life when my number were off to the extreme leading up to being very sick and going to the hospital September 2016
[10:14:37] <wrbtrader> It was at the hospital where I collapse
[10:15:30] <wrbtrader> Had I been home and that happened...I would have died because I my kids would have been at school and I would have been home alone.
[10:16:00] <wrbtrader> Instead, my numbers were off and I went to the hospital where I collapsed and stopped breathing
[10:16:19] <Tigerman______> yep health is a main concern
[10:16:37] <wrbtrader> I was lucky to be in a routine of paying attention and documenting my health while trading...it told me when something was very wrong
[10:17:58] <wrbtrader> Today, I'm in better health although it was an illness (pneumonia that almost killed me) that got me in Sept 2016...
[10:18:19] <wrbtrader> I'm also using standing workstations now...something I didn't use before
[10:18:46] <wrbtrader> Helps with better circulation

[11:07:46] <wrbtrader> not a WRB pt1 exit
[11:08:20] <wrbtrader> instead, I cover the position at a former reaction high before the most recent Up WRB Hidden GAP interval
[11:09:21] <wrbtrader> That former reaction high...if a line is drawn from the high thru the body of the most recent Up WRB Hidden GAP interval...that was my cover price

[12:48:49] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2616.25 --> - 1.5
[12:49:23] <wrbtrader> tough trade to hold especially in light of the most recent Long Lower Shadow interval

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

##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 and its a flawed substitution for mentoring 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.
