##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

[10:06:55] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[10:07:41] <wrbtrader> I'm just following Emini NQ...WRB Analysis for ES just too tough
[10:08:57] <wrbtrader> YM and RTY just as confusing now
[10:09:00] <wrbtrader>
[10:10:41] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2908.75 --> - 1.25

[10:15:32] <wrbtrader> volatility still slowly increasing
[10:16:05] <wrbtrader> RTY and NQ leading the volatility right now...ES & YM sluggish
[10:16:22] <wrbtrader> volatility correlation still poor
[10:16:58] <wrbtrader> I'm now expecting a volatility spike
[10:17:08] <wrbtrader> tightning my trail stop
[10:18:23] <wrbtrader> Emini ES futures struggling at the R area of a big Down WRB Hidden GAP interval
[10:18:34] <wrbtrader> now a few ticks above
[10:19:02] <wrbtrader> YM still below the S area of its own interval
[10:19:39] <wrbtrader> RTY, ES and NQ now above that R area...
[10:19:50] <wrbtrader> Not YM...its far below the S area
[10:20:09] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached on the increasing volatility in Emini ES
[10:20:28] <werner1> Long Emini NQ @ 7663.75
[10:21:02] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2911.25 --> + 1.75
[10:22:00] <wrbtrader> I'm still waiting for that volatility spike to show up...it just missed a great opportunity to show up when the volatility started increasing
[10:22:42] <wrbtrader> YM is the loner now...its stuck below the range of the comparable big Down WRB Hidden GAP interval
[10:29:49] <wrbtrader> With all the noise in the price action for Emini ES futures today since the regular session open...I'm surprise I'm still at a profit
[10:30:07] <wrbtrader> starting to look more like luck
[10:30:30] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2910.25 -> large size

[10:33:18] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2909.50 -> large size
[10:33:27] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[10:34:24] <wrbtrader> Its starting look like more every day that the "only" time its suitable to be trading when ES, NQ, RTY and YM are all on the same page with the volatility
[10:34:38] <wrbtrader> all other times feel like a crap shoot
[10:34:53] <wrbtrader> as in gambling
[10:35:04] <werner1> Exited all Emini NQ Long @ 7672.50 --> + 8.75
[10:35:09] <werner1> pfffffffffffffffffff
[10:35:16] <wrbtrader> Eminis now correlated with their volatility movements
[10:35:23] <wrbtrader> not sure how long it will last
[10:35:45] <wrbtrader> It came out of nowhere...they just decided to become insync
[10:36:06] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2912.75 --> + 3.25
[10:36:14] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[10:36:25] <wrbtrader> Take a break...that was mentally draining
[10:36:30] <werner1> wow 15 points 3 min candle
[10:36:50] <wrbtrader> Maybe in should have just waiting for ALL of them to become correlated with their volatility movements...
[10:36:51] <werner1> me to
[10:37:14] <wrbtrader> Had I done that...I would have only taken one trade today...the most recent Long position
[10:38:21] <werner1> so relax a bit and ...
[10:39:55] <werner1> screen close here...no sounds no see....
[11:42:54] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2906.00 -> large size
[11:43:06] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[11:43:18] <wrbtrader> counter-trading here
[11:43:23] <wrbtrader> tight stop
[11:44:19] <wrbtrader> volatility low enough
[11:44:42] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2905.25 --> - 0.75
[11:45:40] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2905.75 -> large size

[14:35:01] <wrbtrader> counter-trend trading with this one
[14:40:45] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2904.75 --> + 1.25
[14:40:49] <wrbtrader> I thought that would go much further upwards to get about the S area of the most recent Down WRB Hidden GAP interval
[14:43:53] <Donnin________> whats the best trail stop for nq with a 10 point stop
[14:48:39] <wrbtrader> I just use the trade management file but if you're doing your stop management via intuition...in the past (many years ago)...I used a -2 point hard stop and if it went my way by 1 point...I immediately moved the initial stop into a -1 point trail stop.
[14:49:14] <wrbtrader> Markets are different now...don't know if that type of intuition stop management would work today assuming the entry were good
[14:49:41] <wrbtrader> Safe bet to begin with the trade management file prior to doing anything intuition.
[14:58:43] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2901.00 -> large size
[14:58:53] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[15:01:40] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[15:01:44] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2897.25 --> + 3.75
[15:02:38] <wrbtrader> volatility returned back and the Eminis are insync with each other
