##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

click on the above image to view today's price action of key markets [09:16:56] * Now talking in ##TheStrategyLab
[09:31:45] <wrbtrader> Good morning all
[09:32:01] <wrbtrader> Talk of the town is the S&P 500 approaching "record highs"
[09:41:26] <Tigerman______>
all
[09:41:50] <Tigerman______> volatility very low these days plus daily range contracting
[09:42:29] <wrbtrader> Yes...exactly
[09:46:23] <wrbtrader> Tigerman...Eurex DAX had some decent price movement earlier today prior to the U.S. markets opening.
[09:46:35] <wrbtrader> Did you trade the Eurex DAX today
[09:47:50] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2857.75 -> large size
[09:47:55] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[09:48:14] <Tigerman______> Not traded dax today morning
[09:48:35] <wrbtrader> I don't like the contracting volatility right now involving this trade
[09:48:54] <wrbtrader> I'm just very suspicious of the price action because of such
[09:49:43] <Tigerman______> I am more short biased in ES now
[09:50:09] <wrbtrader> Can not take any big hits today...will be too difficult to recover in this low volatility market conditions
[09:51:31] <Tigerman______> Lg ES 2858
[09:52:15] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2858.50 --> + 0.75
[09:52:20] <Tigerman______> exit 2/3 @ 28.5 +2t
[09:52:47] <wrbtrader> not a WRB pt1
[09:53:04] <wrbtrader> Early exit because I counted the intervals incorrectly
[09:53:30] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 @ 2859.00
[09:54:11] <Tigerman______> exit all rem 1/3 @ 2859 +4t
[09:57:27] <wrbtrader> Remaining KMEs today @ 1000am and 1030am est
[09:59:25] <Tigerman______> lg ES 2858.50
[09:59:42] <Tigerman______> small size trae via vola move
[09:59:47] <werner1> hi all
[10:01:06] <Tigerman______> exit all @ 58.50 +0
[10:01:31] <Tigerman______> Sh ES 2858.50
[10:02:16] <Tigerman______> dax moves here
[10:03:36] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2858.25 -> large size
[10:03:39] <@wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[10:03:53] <Tigerman______> exit all @ 58.50 +0
[10:04:10] <Tigerman______> my previous long was an error
[10:04:51] <Tigerman______> regardless this vola is tacky
[10:04:52] <@wrbtrader> My current Long feels like I did something wrong
[10:05:17] <@wrbtrader> That's the low volatility playing head games
[10:05:24] <Tigerman______> nothing wrong just low vola
[10:06:03] <Tigerman______> ES forming now a manual Pennant image
[10:06:11] <@wrbtrader> Emini futures suddenly not insync with each other
[10:06:24] <@wrbtrader> Emini NQ futures the stronger of the bunch
[10:06:27] <Tigerman______> seems it break it in Up way
[10:07:05] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2858.50 --> + 0.25
[10:07:11] <@wrbtrader>
[10:07:42] <@wrbtrader> had to keep that one a tight trail because Emini ES was not following Emini NQ on the way up
[10:08:12] <@wrbtrader> along with Emini YM looking weak in its contracting volatility intervals
[10:08:28] <Tigerman______> ES 2857-2860 range bound ..maybe is better wait it goes outside it
[10:10:49] <Tigerman______> Algo play here it is better I get a cofee
[10:11:58] <@wrbtrader> IRC Freenode made some dramatic changes to their servers after being hit by spammers and autobots the past month
[10:12:25] <@wrbtrader> The changes will not impact this chat room but it will help keep out some "trolls"
[10:13:34] <@wrbtrader> Tigerman...that's what I'm doing now...waiting for it to break outside (Up or Down) that tight trading range
[10:14:10] <Tigerman______> yeah good... still I m not figure out the reason of Trolls existence
[10:17:00] <Tigerman______> good move in RTY it reach a previous reaction high
[10:21:11] <@wrbtrader> Bloomberg has a new live streaming news service on Twitter called "TicToc" @
https://twitter.com/tictoc[10:21:20] <@wrbtrader> Strange funny name
[10:22:30] <@wrbtrader> Oddly...rarely do I see any "financial market news" on TicToc
[10:31:21] <Tigerman______> yeah a popular name
[10:34:19] <Tigerman______> sh ES 61.25
[10:37:19] <Tigerman______> exit all @ 61.25 +0
[10:37:39] <Tigerman______> now it reached a + 1 tick without me
[10:38:19] <Tigerman______> anyway it was a wise exit we will never know what can ocour next
[10:39:25] <Tigerman______> lg ES 61.50 re -entry
[10:40:18] <Tigerman______> I mean SH @ 61.50
[10:41:12] <Tigerman______> exit all @ 61.50 +0
[11:01:35] <Tigerman______> Market too slow
[11:01:41] <Tigerman______> take care all see next time
[11:44:53] <@wrbtrader> VIX poorly low and the volatility within the Emini futures is very low...
[11:45:03] <@wrbtrader> No trade opportunities right now
[11:45:12] <@wrbtrader> Will take an early lunch
[11:45:15] <@wrbtrader> Be back later
[11:56:16] <Trendtrader> volatility too low. Calling it. No trades for me today.
[12:46:26] <werner1> Shorts Emini NQ @ 7492.00
[13:21:44] <@wrbtrader> werner...excellent patience on the Short
[13:22:09] <@wrbtrader> Eventhough its going against you
[13:22:40] <@wrbtrader> The volatility is very tricky today when its this low
[14:44:50] <werner1> Shorts Emini NQ @ 7499.00
[15:03:27] <@wrbtrader> Quiet afternoon in the markets this afternoon due to the overall volatility very low and range bound
[15:32:09] <Donnin________> yes
[15:32:10] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2858.00 -> large size
[15:32:16] <@wrbtrader> scaled in
[15:32:19] <@wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[15:32:55] <@wrbtrader> There's a contradiction in the volatility that I'm now chasing...first time it has shown up all day
[15:33:25] <@wrbtrader> I hope it stays a few minutes to give me a chance for a profit
[15:34:32] <@wrbtrader> shallow WRB pt1 reached
[15:35:09] <@wrbtrader> Covered 1/2 Emini ES Short @ 2857.50 --> + 0.5
[15:35:47] <Donnin________> really which contra
[15:36:07] <@wrbtrader> Same one I've talked about for the past month
[15:36:12] <Donnin________> ok
[15:36:37] <@wrbtrader> Volatility in the Emini futures is opposite than the volatility in the VIX
[15:37:02] <Donnin________> must be small because it hard to see
[15:37:44] <@wrbtrader> Its small but it needs to last a few minutes to exploit it before the volatilies become insync again
[15:38:06] <@wrbtrader> like right now
[15:38:49] <Donnin________> i hope there are better ones than that: <
[15:39:09] <@wrbtrader> Covered Remainder Emini ES Short @ 2858.00 --> 0
[15:39:29] <@wrbtrader> Not today...overall volatilty too low
[15:39:56] <@wrbtrader> Simply, not a good day to be looking for trade opportunities
[15:40:52] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2857.50 -> small size
[15:40:55] <@wrbtrader> 3 contracts
[15:41:43] <Donnin________> i see the 1559 interval maybe
[15:41:46] <@wrbtrader> Eminis are insync but ES causing problems
[15:42:14] <Donnin________> opps i mean 1529 interval
[15:42:53] <@wrbtrader> shallow WRB pt1 reached...same one as the prior trade
[15:43:32] <@wrbtrader> This time only 1 tick as a WRB pt1...geeesh
[15:43:51] <@wrbtrader> Its been awhile since I've seen them that small
[15:46:16] <@wrbtrader> ES back insync but now NQ is not insync
[15:46:32] <@wrbtrader> If its one the other is not on the same page
[15:47:32] <@wrbtrader> NQ testing an S area but just can't push hard below it
[15:48:30] <@wrbtrader> wow
[15:48:59] <@wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[15:49:06] <Donnin________> gj
[15:49:59] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2853.25 --> + 4.25
[15:50:21] <@wrbtrader> Didn't see that coming and I was on top of it too
[15:50:32] <@wrbtrader> volatility spike out of nowhere
[15:50:58] <@wrbtrader> I don't think its reacting to the recent contradiction in the volatility
[15:55:28] <@wrbtrader> Had that happened in the morning trading session or if the overall volatility was high...I would have stayed in the trade for a possible bigger WRB pt level beyond WRB pt1
[15:56:24] <@wrbtrader> Good trade example of how the "time of day" impacts the trade management decisons "after" entry
[15:58:13] <@wrbtrader> Emini ES futures briefly dropped below the most recent reaction low on the 1 hour chart...
[15:58:39] <@wrbtrader> Now its
to move back up to get back above @ 2854.00
[16:08:21] <@wrbtrader> That was a very interesting last 30 minutes price action movement of the regular trading session.
[16:08:26] <@wrbtrader> Will study it more tonight
[16:08:35] <@wrbtrader> Take care all and see all tomorrow

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.
