##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, WRB Zone, R area of WRB Zone, S area of WRB Zone) 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

[14:14:00] <@wrbtrader>
[14:14:14] <t4n> OOPS, yes
[14:14:17] <t4n> thank you
[14:14:26] <@wrbtrader> no problem
[14:14:31] <t4n> missread that one
[14:14:46] <t4n> I was thinking 1430 when I saw 430
[14:18:07] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 1172.70 -> small size
[14:18:21] <@wrbtrader> 2 contracts
[14:18:33] <@wrbtrader> tough contracting volatility here

[14:19:22] <t4n> came out positive so its ok

[14:20:38] <@wrbtrader> 2 contracts re-entry
[14:22:28] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 1173.20 --> - 0.8
[14:22:46] <@wrbtrader> back to the R area
[14:23:47] <t4n> CL trying to find legs into the close
[14:25:39] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 1173.00 -> small size
[14:25:48] <@wrbtrader> 3 contracts
[14:28:02] <t4n> cl slipped back under 60
[14:28:40] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 1171.10 --> + 1.9
[14:28:54] <@wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[14:29:15] <@wrbtrader> tough trades
[14:29:51] <@wrbtrader> That movement in Oil CL futures brought in some volatility into the Emini futures
[14:33:56] <t4n> fight at 60
[14:35:16] * t4n is now known as t4n_paper
[14:35:24] <t4n_paper> i've been paper all day
[14:35:58] <@wrbtrader> This recent price action I was trading within represents an excellent example of how the initial retest of the R area of a Down WRB Hidden GAP (unfilled)...
[14:36:26] <@wrbtrader> and then filling it in to then continue retesting that R area sets up a breakout via a volatility spike
[14:36:50] <@wrbtrader> Just too much pressure building up in the contracting volatility that sets up that volatility spike
[14:37:09] <t4n_paper> it made three humps there
[14:37:19] <t4n_paper> I stopped after 2nd
[14:37:42] <t4n_paper> and after an unfinished WRB formed, its hard to get me back in
[14:37:49] <@wrbtrader> I sometimes refer to this as "Don't Forget The Price Action Of Your Prior Trades"
[14:38:01] <@wrbtrader> They may represent key changes in supply/demand
[14:38:17] <t4n_paper> Yes I can see that
[14:38:34] <t4n_paper> I was payin attention to the upper shadows "price rejection"
[14:38:40] <@wrbtrader> In my opinion, much easier to remember the price area of prior trades
[14:39:13] <t4n_paper> yes, plus they are plotted, easy to see
[14:39:20] <t4n_paper> same with shadows
[14:40:28] <jkarn> wrbtrader, are you looking a 2 min and and the 1:58 WRB Gap Down?
[14:46:14] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 1170.20 -> small size
[14:46:40] <@wrbtrader> 1+2 contracts
[14:47:34] <@wrbtrader> price reacting this afternoon like yesterday's afternoon
[14:47:36] <@wrbtrader> strange
[14:47:45] <@wrbtrader> WRB pt2 reached
[14:48:13] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 1167.70 --> + 2.5
[14:49:55] <@wrbtrader> One of the most difficult things I had to learn in trading...early in my career was that I needed to REMEMBER the price movement of the prior trading day.
[14:50:43] <@wrbtrader> It took me a long time (many years) to understand that YESTERDAY'S price action will give enough information to trade TODAY's price action
[14:52:03] <@wrbtrader> Simply, those that moves the markets (the big boys)...they don't forget and their reaction today is more often connected to yesterday's price action
[14:52:24] <@wrbtrader> As trend reversals or trend continuations
[14:59:38] <t4n_paper> I look forward to more monitors, that will help with yesterdays action
[15:24:37] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 1172.40 -> small size
[15:24:42] <@wrbtrader> 1 contract
[15:25:49] <t4n_paper> I'll quit for the day
[15:26:05] <t4n_paper> playing with fire on the short before the snap up
[15:26:16] <t4n_paper> barely made it back, 2nd time so, done
[15:26:42] <t4n_paper> too bad the market isnt always so trendy and volatile
[15:28:53] <@wrbtrader> I'm going to leave this contract open
[15:29:02] <@wrbtrader> May exit later this evening
[15:29:08] <@wrbtrader> Take care all and see all tomorrow
[16:20:25] <@wrbtrader> Just got back from the walk...

[16:43:01] <@wrbtrader> Instead, its going to GAP down at the open if price stalls around this level with Oil
[16:45:19] <@wrbtrader> I didn't think the $60 Oil barrier would be an issue in the overnight trading session as in it wouldn't have a big impact on the Emini futures
[16:45:27] <@wrbtrader> It did have an impact

free and is a serious professional trading chat room involving

(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 chat room nor do you need to be a

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

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.
