##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).
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 analysis involving WRB Analysis merged with your own trade methods, post real-time trades via WRB Analysis or talk about general market issues impacting today's price action involving stocks, futures, exchange traded funds or forex currencies as part of your trade journal. 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 alerts room and we ban traders for attempting to use our chat room as a signal calling trade alerts room for the purpose to mimic/copy/piggyback 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 ##TheStrategyLab free 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

[10:14:00] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 3321.50 --> + 2.5
[10:15:40] <wrbtrader> I've been getting more requests lately to make my trade journal at the forum "public" again...its been in the private thread section since mid July of 2018
[10:17:17] <wrbtrader> The problem is when its private...I can write about personal things that's impacting my trading day.
[10:17:46] <wrbtrader> In contrast, most of the personal things I can not discuss in the "public" trade journal.
[10:19:13] <wrbtrader> I'm a strong believer into the mental aspects of trading as an edge...most of those mental aspects are related to personal issues
[10:21:50] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 3322.25 -> small size
[10:21:55] <wrbtrader> 2 contracts
[10:22:38] <wrbtrader> If this was a downtrend...most likely I would have ignored that Long signal
[10:23:05] <wrbtrader> Yet, its a big range of about 10 points
[10:23:25] <wrbtrader> Without a range...that would be consider as a counter-trend trade
[10:23:51] <wrbtrader> small WRB pt1 reached
[10:24:35] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 3323.50 --> + 1.25

[10:34:38] <wrbtrader> 2 contracts
[10:35:05] <wrbtrader> toughest trade of the day for me with this one...low probability
[10:36:18] <wrbtrader> volatility just showed up out of nowhere
[10:36:41] <wrbtrader> just broke below its most recent reaction low
[10:36:54] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 3313.00 --> + 4.5
[10:37:03] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[10:38:09] <wrbtrader> Wow...can't believe I forgot there was a 1000am and 1030am KME today
[10:39:11] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 3314.00 -> large size
[10:39:19] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[10:39:47] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 3313.75 --> + 0.25
[10:40:35] <wrbtrader> Couldn't hold that one because of the chasing the market context of the missed KMEs
[10:41:17] <wrbtrader> The prior Short position I would have been "large size" with the market context
[10:41:50] <wrbtrader> but missed the KME
[10:42:48] <wrbtrader> I'm calling it quits right here...today had 3 position size errors that could caused me to leave a lot of money on the table

##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.

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.
