##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...especially if you login to the free chat room and then just lurk (not say anything about your 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 Zones, WRB/WRB Hidden GAP profit targets, Key Market Events, Reaction Highs/Lows, Expanding Volatility, R area of WRB Zone, S area of WRB Zone, midpoint of WRB Zone and speed of the price action) 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 mimic/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 chat logs (we use it to provide critical missing info for our broker statements) 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

[09:20:42] ##TheStrategyLab url is http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum/
[09:33:09] <wrbtrader> Good morning...messy opening
[09:43:22] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2612.75 -> small size
[09:43:26] <wrbtrader> 2x
[09:47:07] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2614.00 --> + 1.25
[09:47:16] <wrbtrader> small WRB pt1 reached
[09:53:50] <wrbtrader> After the big gap down at the open...Emini futures ES, NQ and RTY have filled their gaps except for YM
[09:54:04] <wrbtrader> YM is nearing yesterday's close for a gap fill too
[10:03:13] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2615.25 -> small size
[10:03:17] <wrbtrader> 2x
[10:07:50] <wrbtrader> data stall packets (ISP problem)
[10:07:57] <wrbtrader> May do an early exit
[10:08:17] <wrbtrader> trail stop tighten
[10:09:22] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2614.25 --> + 1
[11:13:53] <wrbtrader> VIX in the 18 range
[11:14:45] <wrbtrader> I actually like this time of slow price action (slow moving volatility) for now because the last few months of that crazy fast moving price action was far too stressful most of the time to trade within
[11:27:05] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2619.00 -> small size
[11:27:07] <wrbtrader> 1x
[11:27:25] <wrbtrader> counter-trend trade
[11:29:31] <wrbtrader> Covered Emini ES Short @ 2620.50 --> - 1.5
[11:29:45] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2620.50 -> small size
[11:29:49] <wrbtrader> 2x
[11:29:54] <wrbtrader> position reversal
[11:30:50] <wrbtrader> I don't want to see this start chopping around to form a tight trading range
[11:33:52] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2620.75 --> + 0.25
[11:34:03] <wrbtrader> trail stop pick pocketed
[11:35:26] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2621.75 -> small size
[11:35:30] <wrbtrader> 3x
[11:35:36] <wrbtrader> re-entry
[11:43:26] <wrbtrader> Emini NQ not helping but RTY and YM are stable
[11:46:39] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2622.00 --> + 0.25
[11:47:32] <wrbtrader> trail stop pick pocketed after I adjusted it (moved it higher) when ES tested 2623.00
[11:56:34] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2621.25 -> small size
[11:56:40] <wrbtrader> 3x
[11:57:12] <wrbtrader> 2 ticks too late on the entry
[11:57:49] <wrbtrader> a 2620.75 would have given me more wiggle room to stay with this trade
[12:00:04] <wrbtrader> Emini RTY now the one not helping
[12:00:54] <wrbtrader> It needs to stall and retrace back up into the midpoint of its most recent Down WRB Hidden GAP interval
[12:02:08] <wrbtrader> its trying to do it now
[12:03:09] <wrbtrader> Emini NQ showing strength
[12:03:38] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2622.00 --> + 0.75
[12:04:14] <wrbtrader> Gotta take a schedule break (mentally rest for 15 minutes)
[12:04:17] <wrbtrader> be back later
[14:17:09] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2624.00 -> small size
[14:17:13] <wrbtrader> 1x
[14:21:22] <wrbtrader> Exited Emini ES Long @ 2622.00 --> - 2
[14:30:57] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2623.00 -> small size
[14:31:01] <wrbtrader> 2x
[14:39:42] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2628.75 --> + 5.75
[14:39:54] <wrbtrader> not sure what just happen
[14:40:05] <wrbtrader> A big volatility spike out of nowhere
[14:43:36] <wrbtrader> ALGOs came in heavy on that price rise...superfast
[14:45:16] <wrbtrader> US Weighs Lifting Tariffs on China
[14:45:30] <wrbtrader> That's the reason behind the spike in markets
[14:48:08] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2623.25 -> small size
[14:48:12] <wrbtrader> 3x
[14:49:14] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2642.50 --> + 19.25
[14:49:27] <wrbtrader> correction...
[14:49:44] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2643.25 -> small size
[14:49:59] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2642.50 --> - 0.75
[14:50:09] <wrbtrader> trail stop pick pocketed
[14:53:01] <wrbtrader> Too many Trump supporters being hurt by those tariff wars with China
[14:53:33] <wrbtrader> Looks like the Whitehouse is starting to feel the pressure for its supporters
[14:54:37] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2638.00 -> small size
[14:54:41] <wrbtrader> 3x
[14:55:45] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2632.75 --> + 5.25
[14:56:49] <wrbtrader> Tariff War with China plus the U.S. Government Shutdown...too much pressure for the WhiteHouse to deal with from its supporters
[14:58:41] <wrbtrader> On the other side of the coin...lifting tariffs against China would allow Trump to continue the government shutdown
[15:02:21] <wrbtrader> This is an excellent example of why this free chat room is like a "Trade Journal"
[15:02:57] <wrbtrader> My broker statements aren't going to explain what happen for me to catch those +5 point moves nor why I didn't capture more
[15:03:25] <wrbtrader> The free chat room with my written thoughts will explain the "reasons" behind the trades
[15:03:51] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2626.75 -> small size

[15:15:51] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2628.00 -> medium size
[15:15:55] <wrbtrader> 5x
[15:17:12] <wrbtrader> can not get away from that pivot point
[15:17:48] <wrbtrader> keeps going back to it...now stuck in a 1 point range around it
[15:18:36] <wrbtrader> Now too much contraction in the volatility...
[15:18:46] <wrbtrader> I'm now expecting another volatility spike here soon
[15:18:53] <wrbtrader> tightning trail stop
[15:20:09] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2630.25 --> - 2.25
[15:28:28] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2631.00 -> medium size

[15:59:53] <wrbtrader> wild wild west
[16:01:17] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2636.00 -> medium size
[16:01:23] <wrbtrader> 5x
[16:09:32] <wrbtrader> Covered Emini ES Short @ 2634.00 --> + 2
[16:09:37] <wrbtrader> still holding 3x
[16:12:01] <wrbtrader> Covered Emini ES Short @ 2635.25 --> + 0.75
[16:12:11] <wrbtrader> still holding 2x
[16:15:10] <wrbtrader> Covered Emini ES Short @ 2636.00 --> 0
[16:16:09] <wrbtrader> I may trade after Emini ES reopens from the maintenance period
[16:16:40] <wrbtrader> I've been waiting for that Netflix earnings price reaction after the 4pm est rush hour traffic for a week now
[16:17:38] <wrbtrader> Yet, the unexpectent comments from WSJ about the possibility of tariff war with China being decreased caught everybody off guard.
[16:17:53] <wrbtrader> Luckily, I was already in a Long position when it happen
[16:21:10] <wrbtrader> still holding 1x
[16:30:38] <wrbtrader> Covered Remainder Emini ES Short @ 2636.00 --> 0
[16:31:09] <wrbtrader> Nothing out of it...Netflix wasn't much of a price mover
[16:31:50] <wrbtrader> Take care all and see all tomorrow
