##TheStrategyLab (located on the Freenode IRC network) is
free along with being a serious professional trading chat room for traders using
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) by itself or merged with other trade methods to improve the performance of those other trade methods regardless if you're a
position trader, swing trader or day trader. Therefore, you're welcome to use the chat room to ask questions about WRB Analysis, post 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.
##TheStrategyLab chat room is is primarily designed for you to use as a
trade journal of your WRB Analysis or real-time trades with time stamp archive....giving you a better understanding of your broker statements from one trade to the next trade when you review your performance numbers on any given trading day in the past. Therefore, if you use our chat room...its
highly recommended you post messages that reflect what you see in the price action on your monitors so that the chat room becomes your
diary to correlate with your broker statements. Therefore, the usefulness of ##TheStrategyLab chat room is determined via
your participation in the chat room.
Also, ##TheStrategyLab chat room is
not designed to be
educational. Simply, members using the chat room are
not there to teach you how to trade and you will
not see me discussing the reasons (strategies) behind my trades within ##TheStrategyLab chat room because those reasons (strategies) are
only discussed with fee-base clients in a different chat room. Yet, if you want ##TheStrategyLab chat room to be educational or more active in discussing whatever it is that you're trading, we highly recommend that you ask trading related questions about your own trading instead of lurking (not saying anything) because your primary purpose is to improve your trading if you're a struggling trader. Therefore, don't join ##TheStrategyLab and then be
silent. To be silent while using ##TheStrategyLab chat room, you'll be wasting a collaboration opportunity for improving your trading and doing such will make ##TheStrategyLab chat room useless to you.
Quote:
The chat room is only for traders learning or applying concepts of WRB Analysis. In addition, traders that use ##TheStrategyLab are required to post either one WRB Analysis price action commentary involving any key concept from the free study guide, one real-time trade or one general trading related commentary per day they log-in to the chat room. Yet, if the trader decides to post real-time trades (simulator or real-money)...the trades must be clear (not ambiguous) entry price/exit price and position size. Traders that consistently log-in and not post any price action commentary involving WRB Analysis or post ambiguous trades will be KICKED (removed) from the chat room. Exceptions to the chat room participation rule involves those traders that are actively posting elsewhere at TheStrategyLab.com (e.g. DOKs at their support forum in the public area or within their private threads)...these traders are then allowed to not participate in the chat room if that's what they prefer to do instead of asking for help with real-time WRB Analysis.
With that said, thanks for reading the trades, price action analysis or market commentaries that's below 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

[11:25:57] <tradermo> volume good initially but quickly declining
[11:26:03] <tradermo> maybe soccer related
[11:26:07] <t4n> price getting stuck between upper and lower WRBHG
[11:26:29] <wrbtrader> Volatility changed quickly when that strange chop showed up
[11:27:24] <wrbtrader> It's starting to feel like that price action that showed up a few months ago that started that entire crappy two month of trading
[11:27:45] <tradermo> last couple of day i was experimenting with new wider stop placement strategy
[11:27:54] <wrbtrader> The strange chop would show up and last several hours
[11:28:07] <wrbtrader> I have not forgotten aboout how it started
[11:28:09] <tradermo> but results not good, so need to rethink this
[11:28:18] <wrbtrader> Today is the exact same route it took
[11:30:06] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 1170.50 --> 0
[11:30:22] <wrbtrader> that's a FEAR and TIRED exit
[11:30:36] <wrbtrader> will jsut sit and watch awhile...need a mental rest
[11:31:16] <wrbtrader> especially since the price action is just playing the same game around that 1170.40 price area
[11:39:07] <wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 1171.90 -> large size
[11:39:23] <wrbtrader> 6 contracts

[11:44:50] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[11:45:46] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 1172.40 --> + 0.5
[11:52:18] <wrbtrader> As they say after seeing good volatility for a few days...
[11:52:23] <wrbtrader> It was fun while it lasted
[13:13:23] <Cayden> Katch U Katz in a couple of weeks- I'm going on a little vacation trip- I'm going to take my WRB materieal with me-in the mean while... grow those accounts.

[16:01:20] <wrbtrader> barely any volatility
[16:04:43] <wrbtrader> Exited 1/2 Emini TF Long @ 1176.50 --> + 0.5
[16:05:59] <wrbtrader> Exited Remainder Emini TF Long @ 1176.20 --> + 0.2
[16:06:54] <wrbtrader> In hindsight, price action for the Eminis and Eurex futures just ran out of energy after two days of good volatility and the mornings initial volatility surge the first 20 minutes
[16:07:27] <wrbtrader> Hopefully it can re-energize for tomorrow or else I'll be calling it quits early
[16:07:43] <wrbtrader> Take care and see all tomorrow

In addition, our primary job in the

Also, to prevent the usual mix-up about our different chat rooms, most of our fee-base clients do not use chat rooms just like most retail traders do not use chat rooms. Yet, the few clients that do use chat rooms, our fee-base clients are discussing market analysis or
price action only trade signals via concepts from our strategies in the
private chat rooms called
##VolatilityTradingTSL or
##WRB_Analysis and they're not allowed to do such in ##TheStrategyLab.
Reminder, our
Terms of Use (TOU) Policy is a must read to prevent any misunderstandings along with revealing that ##TheStrategyLab is a serious professional
price action trading chat room and we expect members to act
professional. Also, these logs may have been edited (rarely) to remove any messages that a member has complained to me via private message that they consider a particular commentary to be inappropriate, offending or too far in the off topic area that's a distraction when the commentary was posted.
