##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.
This is
not a signal calling (trade alerts) room. Our free
chat room has
never been advertised as a trade room and we ban traders for attempting to use our
chat room as a trade alerts room for the purpose to mimick/copy trades posted by any of our members.
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/[09:33:46] <Tigerman______>
all
[09:33:53] <Tigerman______> another unsync open
[09:36:50] <wrbtrader> Yes...exactly...its becoming more common now
[09:37:14] <Tigerman______> hi wrbtrader
[09:37:26] <Tigerman______> I have to write down
[09:37:45] <Tigerman______> and avoid this messy areas
[09:37:54] <wrbtrader> Also, more common...the long upper / long lower shadow intervals on the same interval or within two intervals
[09:38:18] <wrbtrader> A ton of price noise
[09:38:41] <wrbtrader> Tigerman...you trading Emini NQ futures
??
[09:38:51] <Tigerman______> in contrast US data are good economy
[09:39:13] <Tigerman______> NQ sometimes
[09:39:24] <Tigerman______> I no like low liquidity
[09:42:44] <Tigerman______> wow NQ filled is down gap
[09:50:37] <Tigerman______> sh ES 2754
[09:52:29] <Tigerman______> cover 2/3l @ 2752
[09:56:05] <Donnin________> short cl
[09:56:16] <Donnin________> 48
[09:56:23] <Tigerman______> cover 1/3 @ 2749 +5pt
[09:56:51] <Tigerman______> wrb pt1 in 5min
[09:59:57] <wrbtrader> Odd question...the markets are heavily impacted by Algos that make trades in milliseconds...why is Times & Sales or DOM only in seconds
??
[10:00:38] <wrbtrader> Example format in Times & Sales is 10:00:45
[10:00:53] <wrbtrader> Why not 10:00:45:05
[10:01:24] <Tigerman______> wrbtrader.... already years ago I used a proprietary software ...it was able to show milliseconds and microseconds !!!
[10:01:52] <Tigerman______> just my feed qw not good
[10:01:57] <wrbtrader> Ok
[10:02:30] <Tigerman______> regardless you right most plaftforms show just seconds
[10:03:02] <Tigerman______> sh ES 2746
[10:03:14] <Donnin________> how would knowing that micro stuff help tho
[10:04:07] <Donnin________> unless i was plotting it on a chart
[10:04:29] <Tigerman______> exit 2/3 @ 2744.50
[10:04:29] <wrbtrader> It may help Algo Retail traders or Automated retail traders or DOM traders
[10:05:16] <wrbtrader> I'm not sure...but curious even though I don't use DOM, I'm not using an automated trading system and I don't use Algos
[10:06:03] <wrbtrader> Yet, if I was using any of those...I would want my system to see numbers in milliseconds or microseconds
[10:06:17] <wrbtrader> Not seconds
[10:07:09] <Donnin________> i heard from the creator of jigsaw that he has never know one successful orderflow trader
[10:07:45] <wrbtrader> Isn't Jigsaw a platform for Orderflow traders
[10:07:49] <Donnin________> to use his system
[10:08:25] <Tigerman______> exit all 1/3 @ 2742 +4pt
[10:08:25] <Donnin________> yes
[10:09:09] <Donnin________> and he had never met one successful person to use his platform
[10:09:24] <wrbtrader> Wow...that's like hearing him say there's no Orderflow traders succeeding in the markets while using his platform unless other types of traders are using Jigsaw
[10:10:25] <Donnin________> i think he was referring to order flow as a standalone with a chart i left that part out
[10:10:35] <Donnin________> without*
[10:10:50] <wrbtrader> Ahhh...ok
[10:11:30] <wrbtrader> I've met a few successful traders using DOM or orderflow but they were "automated traders"
[10:11:41] <Tigerman______> yeah the point is always the same ...it is the trader not the system
[10:11:56] <wrbtrader> True
[10:12:24] <Donnin________> automated order-flow traders sounds intresting
[10:12:32] <Tigerman______> the Only edge without be skilled is cheating
[10:13:25] <wrbtrader> In college...I had a few roommates that were brilliant in math, engineering, physics and such...
[10:14:04] <wrbtrader> They could just look at data (numbers) and see a visual picture of what's really going on
[10:14:31] <wrbtrader> At that time, I just thought they were "different" or "strange"
[10:14:55] <wrbtrader> Yet, as I learned more about the markets and the rise of Algos...I get it now
[10:15:07] <Tigerman______> math it is ok for pure science
[10:16:03] <wrbtrader> To be able to "visualize" that info...you need the logic
[10:16:47] <Tigerman______> science like micro-proc physics and so on
[10:16:50] <wrbtrader> A few seconds of such...mind draining...stressful
[10:17:19] <Tigerman______> market are more about greed fear and company surprise
[10:20:14] <wrbtrader> The one thing I remember about Jigsaw was that a lot of their profitable trade leaders were between the 40% - 60% win rate...while making thousands
[10:20:45] <wrbtrader> Cementing the belief you do NOT need a high win rate to be profitable
[10:21:52] <wrbtrader> I think too many traders get stuck or fixated on trying to be "perfect" in their traders in an effort to achieve a high win rate...
[10:22:17] <wrbtrader> Yet rarely able to do it...setting themself up for a psychological failure
[10:22:49] <Donnin________> that true
[10:23:12] <Donnin________> my problem is risk reward
[10:23:52] <Donnin________> i can't trade nq under anything less than a 10pt stop
[10:23:57] <Tigerman______> sh 2741.50
[10:24:28] <Donnin________> not sure what trade location can hold nq that tight
[10:25:16] <Donnin________> 5pt stop is tiny
[10:25:57] <Tigerman______> exit 2/3 @ 40.50 +1 pt
[10:26:54] <Donnin________> then again i have not done any analysis as i backtest manually
[10:27:39] <Tigerman______> exit 1/3 @ 41.25 + 0.25 trail hit
[10:28:04] <Donnin________> i would have to mark the dd for every trade an so on
[10:29:27] <Tigerman______> sh ES 2739
[10:32:19] <wrbtrader> The one thing I like about this type of unusual volatility we saw in October...it makes us rethink our stop/loss management and how it impacts our overall trade results
[10:33:10] <wrbtrader> Its as if we need "different" types of stop/loss management for specific types of market conditions instead of trying to use one that fits ALL types of market conditions
[10:34:09] <Donnin________> ur stop management is great
[10:34:27] <Donnin________> i think thats how every new trader
[10:34:30] <wrbtrader> That's my next development & research area...different types of stop/loss management for specific types of market conditions after the head spinning month of October
[10:34:35] <Tigerman______> exit all rem 1/3 @ 2733 +6pt
[10:34:37] <Donnin________> wants to trade
[10:35:44] <wrbtrader> Donnin...you were gone a few weeks...were you trading, vacation...everything ok
??
[10:37:42] <Donnin________> i was doing manual back-testing during market hours last few weeks
[10:38:01] <wrbtrader> Sounds boring
[10:38:18] <Donnin________> hah i was pumped lol
[10:39:50] <Donnin________> the horrible part is if after all that you realize you don’t even have an edge
[10:41:06] <wrbtrader> How far back in history data did you backtest
[10:41:57] <Donnin________> 2010
[10:42:18] <Donnin________> to present
[10:43:03] <Donnin________> that as far as tos goes actually
[10:47:16] <wrbtrader> I believe in different types of "edges" besides just the trade signal numbers
[10:47:45] <wrbtrader> Psychological edges, routine edges, home trading environment edges and so on
[10:48:18] <wrbtrader> On any given trading day...those other variables can easily outweight the trade strategy
[10:49:21] <wrbtrader> For example, I'm not trading today because statistically I don't perform well when I didn't get a good night of
[10:49:38] <wrbtrader> Last night I couldn't
...slept about 2 hours
[10:49:59] <wrbtrader> Thus, I'm not going to trade today...high risk of not just a loss...big loss
[10:50:57] <wrbtrader> I'm also more intuned with my body & mind readiness since my near death experience the fall of 2016
[10:51:39] <wrbtrader> If I feel out of balance...I just pull up charts on my monitors and do NOT even open my broker trade execution platform
[10:52:34] <Donnin________> that’s a interesting insight
[10:53:25] <wrbtrader> Family calls me superstitous, freinds calls me paranoid and I call myself fearful of a losing trading day
[10:54:01] <Donnin________> how cna you fear what u have overcome
[10:56:00] <wrbtrader> I don't know...its a mystery to me
[10:56:18] <Donnin________> i guess that a good fear
[10:57:38] <Donnin________> a healthy fear that keeps everything in check
[11:40:22] <Tigerman______> thanks all x chatting
[11:40:41] <Tigerman______> I finish here after some PC works and documents
[11:40:55] <Tigerman______> take care all and have a safe weekend see all next week
[11:41:56] <wrbtrader> Bye Tigerman
[11:43:45] <Tigerman______> bye
[12:37:53] <Trendtrader> short nq 6949.50 sim
[12:41:38] <Trendtrader> exit short nq 6949.50 +0 sim

##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 with a head trader telling you what to trade, when to buy or when to sell. In fact, 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.
