##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

[09:25:08] * Now talking in ##TheStrategyLab
[09:25:09] ##TheStrategyLab url is http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum/
[09:41:57] <werner> gm all
[09:47:45] <werner> reboot
[09:49:40] <wrbtrader> Long Upper Shadow interval
[09:50:03] <wrbtrader> not able to take out the most recent reaction high
[09:51:41] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2697.50 -> large size
[09:51:53] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[09:53:06] <wrbtrader> tightening trail stop
[09:55:12] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2697.00 --> + 0.5
[09:55:25] <wrbtrader> trail pick pocketed
[09:57:47] <wrbtrader> Emini NQ futures trying to climb the range of a Long Upper Shadow interval
[09:58:03] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2698.25 -> large size
[09:58:15] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[09:58:31] <wrbtrader> now NQ is rolling over south :(
[09:58:55] <wrbtrader> now @ S area of that Long Upper Shadow interval
[09:59:11] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2698.00 --> - 0.25
[09:59:53] <wrbtrader> S area in Emini ES @ 2698.00
[10:00:36] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2699.25 -> large size
[10:04:02] <wrbtrader> shallow WRB pt1 reached :(
[10:04:10] <wrbtrader> overall volatility horrible
[10:05:05] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2699.25 --> 0
[10:07:07] <wrbtrader> Overall volatility has been declining for many days now
[10:07:53] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2699.50 -> large size
[10:08:04] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[10:08:39] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2700.50 --> + 1
[10:08:58] <wrbtrader> shallow WRB pt1 reached
[10:10:02] <wrbtrader> Got to take those WRB pt1 even if they are small because the overall volatility is not good. Thus, if you hold on the the trade after reaching the profit target on a low volatility trading day...good chance you'll loose your profit
[10:15:15] <werner> what is going on here?
[10:16:38] <wrbtrader> Crappy overall volatility
[10:16:50] <werner> strange
[10:16:53] <wrbtrader> small WRB pt1's
[10:17:06] <wrbtrader> VIX is declining
[10:17:22] <werner> yep
[10:17:25] <wrbtrader> A slow decline for several trading days now
[10:20:13] <wrbtrader> Eurex DAX futures and CAC40 futures have much better price action movement
[10:20:26] <werner> :(
[10:23:57] <wrbtrader> Also...note that the markets have been slowly rising on this declining volatility for a few days now
[10:24:24] <werner> indd
[10:29:35] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2698.75 -> large size
[10:29:45] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[10:30:09] <werner> bbl
[10:30:18] <wrbtrader> volatility increasing but because of the overall declining volatilty...the increase may not last
[10:30:52] <wrbtrader> Emini NQ futures trying hard to push down the range of a Long Lower Shadow interval
[10:32:24] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2699.00 --> - 0.25
[10:32:42] <wrbtrader> NQ still struggling to get going
[10:33:21] <wrbtrader> Emini YM futures a little more smoother but it too is contracted
[10:35:01] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2700.50 -> large size
[10:35:13] <wrbtrader> 5+5 contracts
[10:35:31] <wrbtrader> caught part of the snapback UP
[10:36:25] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2702.00 --> + 1.5
[10:36:40] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached (I think)
[10:37:10] <wrbtrader> its close but didn't want to take time to measure it for fear it could snapback DOWN...taking away the profit
[10:38:12] <wrbtrader> tough day of work
[10:38:24] <wrbtrader> nothing is easy today
[10:39:06] <wrbtrader> Hopefully volatility will show up soon to prevent me from calling it quits early today
[10:51:45] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2703.75 -> large size
[10:51:49] <wrbtrader> spike
[10:52:16] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2704.25 --> + 0.5
[10:52:54] <wrbtrader> got a few ticks out of the volatilty spike although I should have stayed in because it was on increasing volatility
[10:53:08] <wrbtrader> all Emini future insync
[10:53:40] <wrbtrader> Will now lower my position size for the remainder of the trading day...
[10:54:07] <wrbtrader> I don't think the price action will improve beyond that type of volatility spike unless its due to breaking news
[11:15:43] <wrbtrader> Price going higher "without" any trade signals :(
[11:21:16] <werner> indd fustrating
[11:38:01] <wrbtrader> I classify these types of price actions as "creeper movements"...during low volatility trading conditions
[11:39:15] <wrbtrader> They don't produce a lot of trade signals and you need to be very discipline to not get sucked into trading these types of price action because there's no clues that there will be a volatility spike while they move Up or Down
[11:46:11] <werner> agree
[14:19:53] <wrbtrader> Horrible volatility today...the overall volatility has declined a full point today...that's big when its already low
[14:23:50] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2703.00 -> small size
[14:24:04] <wrbtrader> 1 contract
[14:24:50] <wrbtrader> Covered Emini ES Short @ 2703.25 --> - 0.25
[14:25:29] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2702.75 -> small size
[14:25:35] <wrbtrader> 1 contract
[14:28:04] <wrbtrader> Covered Emini ES Short @ 2702.75 --> 0
[14:36:49] <werner> no more energy here :(
[14:37:01] <werner> gn all
[15:09:29] <wrbtrader> Anothr volatgility spike upwards without a trade signal to get in on it
[15:10:49] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2709.50 -> small size
[15:10:59] <wrbtrader> 3 contracts
[15:12:23] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2710.50 --> + 1
[15:12:37] <wrbtrader> shallow WRB pt1 reached
[15:13:01] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2710.00 -> small size
[15:13:25] <wrbtrader> 3 contracts
[15:13:35] <wrbtrader> volatility still increasing
[15:14:02] <wrbtrader> Not great but better than it was earlier today
[15:15:31] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[15:17:44] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2709.50 --> + 0.5
[15:18:10] <wrbtrader> I'm a little surprised that the volatility dried up so fast
[15:34:38] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2712.25 -> small size
[15:34:53] <wrbtrader> 3 contracts
[15:35:04] <wrbtrader> :(

[17:11:06] -ChanServ- [##TheStrategyLab] Chat room for day traders, swing traders, position traders using concepts from WRB Analysis to help improve the performance of their trade signal strategies. WRB Analysis free study guide @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum ... =119&t=718

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

##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.
