##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

[09:49:16] <Tigerman______> I got some issue in my platform ..or my mistake
[09:49:37] <Tigerman______> simply I was short of Big size while price run up :(
[09:50:05] <Tigerman______> My will was to be Long ...these mistake are very costly
[09:50:05] <wrbtrader> Emini ES @ 2676.75
[09:52:17] <Tigerman______> curiously seems amost Nobody have this mistake while they write in chat forum... :)
[09:52:43] <wrbtrader> "they" ???
[09:52:45] <Tigerman______> or they are superman or ....umh they trades are Not so real :)
[09:53:15] <wrbtrader> Emini ES @ 2678.50
[09:53:51] <wrbtrader> Emini ES @ 2678.00
[09:54:14] <Tigerman______> yeah many people (general users) when writing in chat/forum etc. almost Never report issue with wrong trade bad fill revenge trades and so on
[09:54:30] <wrbtrader> Ahhh :)
[09:54:31] <Tigerman______> simply they are not affected
[09:54:57] <Tigerman______> the make me wonder how real are their trades
[09:55:22] <wrbtrader> Anyone that post their trades and never talk about platform problems, charting problems, strange fills, missed orders...suspicious posting
[09:55:37] <Tigerman______> yep exactly my point
[09:56:03] <wrbtrader> Internet is not perfect...there's always problems
[09:56:32] <wrbtrader> The ones the use to get me was when my screens would freeze or my quotes would freeze
[09:57:10] <Tigerman______> x example a wrong filll or mistake order ( like short when you want long ) can ruin a trade session.. via bad filling also ruin keyboard and desk :)
[09:57:18] <wrbtrader> Emini ES futures resumes its sky rocket
[09:57:44] <Tigerman______> yeah also frozen quotes make me upset
[09:58:17] <Tigerman______> then I have forget stop oders... they became a valid order later :(
[09:58:18] <wrbtrader> You should use audio alerts
[09:58:36] <wrbtrader> Audio Confirmation about the fills
[10:00:39] <Tigerman______> my problem is when some stop orders remain in book and they are activated later
[10:00:48] <Tigerman______> because I not delete them
[10:01:16] <Tigerman______> because I modify contract size while in a trade a modify them in manual
[10:04:21] <wrbtrader> Remember, I use to have that problem a few years back...orders executed that I had thought had been cancelled
[10:08:20] <werner> hi all

[11:02:27] <wrbtrader> Tigerman...I didn't realize you were using IB now...maybe you mention it months ago and I forgot
[11:02:34] <Tigerman______> 2 times I was full of contracts while my portfolio say 0 !!!
[11:02:48] <werner> djeez
[11:03:07] <Tigerman______> I rebooted the platform ...now is ok
[11:04:10] <Tigerman______> the story is: this can be devastating in both mental issue ...and money issue
[11:04:22] <Tigerman______> it can cost us a BIG loss hard to recup
[11:04:54] <Tigerman______> that is the dangerous of trading... naive people miss and never talk about
[11:05:49] <Tigerman______> mostly because they just paper trade...then when Big mess occurs they never trade anymore neither show up in forum or chat
[11:06:15] <Tigerman______> Big mess when they try swith to real trade
[11:06:51] <werner> Shorts Emini NQ @ 6832.50

[11:36:52] <wrbtrader> Dodm
[11:37:07] <wrbtrader> Didn't want to hang aroung in that one too long
[11:37:14] <Tigerman______> Today I exit here I m already upset with IB platform issue
[11:37:54] <wrbtrader> Tigerman...is the platform lagging in its confirmations ?
[11:37:57] <Tigerman______> similar problem with TS platform
[11:38:50] <Tigerman______> No it give me a confermation of my filled order.....just it NO report it in my portfolio :(
[11:39:04] <Tigerman______> immediate confermation as always
[11:39:43] <wrbtrader> That's strange to have the same problem in both TS and IB
[11:40:02] <werner> need 37.50
[11:40:11] <werner> 37.75
[11:40:14] <Tigerman______> so for example I want enter with 3 contracts ... it writes ok 3 pz filles
[11:40:33] <Tigerman______> Only in my inventoty write 0 pz
[11:40:44] <Tigerman______> my portfolio
[11:41:07] <Tigerman______> so I think maybe is not filled really
[11:41:36] <Tigerman______> so I enter others 2 times ....at the end I have 9pz in portfolio
[11:41:37] <wrbtrader> Two different platforms with the same problem...
[11:41:49] <Tigerman______> No no same problem
[11:41:51] <wrbtrader> That would make me paranoid its my computers
[11:41:56] <wrbtrader> Ahhh...ok
[11:42:13] <Tigerman______> simply ALL platform have this issue sometimes
[11:43:00] <Tigerman______> not properly filled or reported orders ...jump over limit orders ..stops and so on
[11:43:15] <werner> Covered all Emini NQ Short @ 6842.50 --> - 1.25
[11:43:31] <Tigerman______> wrbtrader... PC harware cannot mess with orders executions :)
[11:43:55] <wrbtrader> It can make them lag
[11:44:01] <Tigerman______> can be different in a totally frozen PC
[11:44:10] <werner> Shorts Emini NQ @ 6840.25
[11:44:12] <wrbtrader> Yes...that's what I meant
[11:44:24] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2675.00 -> medium size
[11:44:32] <wrbtrader> 5 contracts
[11:44:36] <wrbtrader> re-entry
[11:44:39] <Tigerman______> yeah in my case never lag or frozen issue
[11:45:00] <werner> Covered all Emini NQ Short @ 6835.00 --> + 5.25
[11:45:08] <wrbtrader> shallow WRB pt1 reached on the volatility surge
[11:45:40] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2674.50 --> + 0.5
[11:45:47] <wrbtrader> :(
[11:45:49] <Tigerman______> also this problem of wrong reported fills occurs just few times in a while not every day or week
[11:46:00] <wrbtrader> stall in the volatility...enough to shake me out
[11:46:50] <Tigerman______> wrbtrader do you trade with Global future these days ?
[11:47:08] <Tigerman______> with TT platform?
[11:49:51] <wrbtrader> Yes...they are one of the few that has 3 of the 4 platforms I have access too...X_trader, CQG and Rosenthal
[11:50:11] <wrbtrader> I won't use CQG with Global...
[11:50:33] <wrbtrader> I still have not gotten around to opening an account with CQG but will do so soon
[11:50:59] <wrbtrader> The goal by the end of the summer is to switch everything over to CQG
[11:51:53] <wrbtrader> I'm going to be in the Chicago area this summer for a vacation...will get a chance to test CQG fully with a friend that uses it full-time
[11:51:54] <Tigerman______> ok issue for me is usually TT or CQG ask a fee for every trade
[11:52:01] <wrbtrader> Yes
[11:52:43] <Tigerman______> of course that is a minor impact if I have an improvment on executions and fill
[11:52:55] <wrbtrader> Its negotiable with a large account
[11:54:45] <wrbtrader> The only thing that scares me about Global is that they have expanded too much in my opinion
[11:55:21] <wrbtrader> I remember when they only had "a few" platforms...now they have dozen or so
[11:55:55] <wrbtrader> almost like 30
[11:56:45] <wrbtrader> They have added more "mobile platforms"...that's good
[11:56:54] <wrbtrader> I think :)
[11:57:43] <Tigerman______> another broker is AMP in chicago
[11:57:56] <wrbtrader> I wish banks would own some of these brokers...
[11:58:10] <werner> guys why are you have that much... i think wrbtrader you have also a account at ts ...what are your thoughts about ts?
[11:58:17] <wrbtrader> Would then be a lot easier to move profits from the broker to the bank account
[11:58:31] <wrbtrader> instead of via wire transfer or check
[11:59:29] <wrbtrader> Simply, just a plain old "transfer" of funds...instantly.
[12:03:51] <werner> mmm non trending and low vola 1 /2/3 min
[12:04:07] <Tigerman______> yeah also trade via a Big bank is safer
[12:04:20] <Tigerman______> expecially future
[12:04:50] <Tigerman______> some broker was wiped in financial crisis
[12:05:05] <Tigerman______> ok I have to go
[12:05:10] <wrbtrader> Take care
[12:05:10] <Tigerman______> take care all see next time
[12:17:19] <wrbtrader> contracting volatility

##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.
