##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.


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 @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum/viewforum.php?f=164

[09:23:06] * Topic is 'Chat room for traders that are using concepts from WRB Analysis to help improve their entry signals, initial stop/loss management, profitable trail stops or profit targets. WRB Analysis free study guide @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum ... 119&t=718'
[09:23:06] * Set by wrbtrader on Fri Dec 26 09:39:03 2014
[09:23:07] ##TheStrategyLab url is http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum/
[09:31:16] <wrbtrader> Huge price UP movement in Gold GC futures while Crude Oil CL futures is trying to find some support after a huge down movement
[09:32:34] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2055.25 -> large size
[09:32:44] <wrbtrader> 20 contracts
[09:33:03] <wrbtrader> big volatility in many different key markets
[09:33:20] <wrbtrader> Even the Emini futures had a big overnight movement...
[09:34:04] <wrbtrader> I'm hoping there's enough juice left in the opening morning first 15 minutes of the regular trading session
[09:37:32] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2052.00 --> + 3.25
[09:38:13] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 was reached @ 2053.75
[09:38:57] <wrbtrader> I held on a little longer because I was hoping that volatility would show up to push it lower in one of those fast price movements we've been seeing the past 3 trading days...
[09:39:01] <wrbtrader> It didn't happen
[09:46:39] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2060.25 -> large size
[09:46:49] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[09:48:13] <wrbtrader> fast price action showed up but its full of chop
[09:48:47] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2061.75 --> + 1.5
[09:48:57] <wrbtrader> early exit
[09:49:04] <wrbtrader> not a WRB pt1
[09:49:17] <wrbtrader> That chop got too scary for me
[09:49:52] <wrbtrader> Chops like that are tough because its not sideways...
[09:50:12] <wrbtrader> It like 3 ticks up...2 ticks down...3 ticks up...2 ticks down...
[09:50:22] <wrbtrader> I call that algo movement
[09:50:23] <BobC____> CL really choppy, then instant run, then chop....
[09:51:58] <wrbtrader> I will be surprise if Crude Oil CL futures retraces back upwards that big down movement
[09:52:19] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2058.75 -> large size
[09:52:28] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[09:52:39] <BobC____> some event will trigger the move up.... oil field bomb or something
[09:53:41] <BobC____> i caught a nice short from 3773 down to 25 this AM.... then a lot of chop since open
[09:55:02] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2060.25 --> - 1.5
[09:55:35] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2058.50 -> large size
[09:55:49] <wrbtrader> There's that fast pace chop again
[09:56:12] <wrbtrader> seems like it has a 2 point range
[09:56:34] <wrbtrader> large enough to cause a ton of problems
[09:56:55] <Lightenup1> All the money was taken from my accout so they have let me trade on Sim. Hope they can get my money back soon.
[09:57:32] <wrbtrader> Was there a lack of security on their side or did they not follow their own security protocols ??
[09:57:48] <wrbtrader> If so, the fault is there's
[09:58:01] <wrbtrader> something you'll have to prove
[10:00:37] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2056.50 --> + 2
[10:00:44] <Lightenup1> They said that they followed their protocalls. They just relied on e mail. They thing that I find hard to belive is that the account was used every day for trading. Why would they not call and ask why I wanted to take all my money out.
[10:00:49] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[10:01:06] <wrbtrader> around 2056.00
[10:01:47] <wrbtrader> Some brokers have horrible security
[10:01:50] <wrbtrader> For example...
[10:02:19] <wrbtrader> I had a broker that if I logged onto the website and into my account...I had to go thru 3 security steps.
[10:02:42] <Lightenup1> This was Trans Act Futures
[10:02:46] <wrbtrader> In contrast, if I called them...they ask a stupid simple security question...
[10:03:01] <wrbtrader> "What's your social number" ??
[10:03:34] <wrbtrader> That's it...they would then give me access to anything involving my account including transfering funds, change of address...anything via a simple phone call
[10:03:37] <BobC____> Wow lighten.... did someone steal it???where is the accnt??
[10:04:29] <wrbtrader> My point...anyone going thru your garbage at night and then gets a hold of your security number while finding out whom your broker or bank is...
[10:04:38] <wrbtrader> They'll have access to everything
[10:04:55] <wrbtrader> In contrast, the website security is great
[10:05:19] <wrbtrader> My point...maybe the hacker did what he/she did via a phone call...nothing to do with the website.
[10:05:36] <wrbtrader> something to consider
[10:07:11] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2058.50 -> large size
[10:07:18] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[10:07:59] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2058.25 --> + 0.25
[10:08:15] <wrbtrader> that was a nasueating trade
[10:08:45] <wrbtrader> chop everywhere and fast moving in a 2 point range
[10:12:38] <Lightenup1> It appears they hacked my e mail. Next they had the brokers statments go to them and then they forwarded them to me. Thus they knew my statement balaance. Next they got enought imformation to open a bank account in England. They kept communicating with my broker providing change of address change of bank account information sendt them copy of utility bill that they would have
[10:12:39] <Lightenup1> created in London. All the time the broker thought that they were communicating with me.
[10:12:40] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2058.50 -> large size
[10:12:56] <wrbtrader> re-entry
[10:14:32] <wrbtrader> wow
[10:17:16] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2058.00 --> + 0.5
[10:17:19] <wrbtrader> I need a BARF bag
[10:17:39] <wrbtrader> sidelines...will just watch
[10:17:53] <wrbtrader> It finally put me on the bench
[10:18:32] <wrbtrader> and then it drops
[10:19:28] <BobC____> WOw lighten.... what a bummer..... I think I will set up Voice communications as a verify with broker
[10:19:36] <BobC____> I am so sorry
[10:20:05] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2053.75 -> large size
[10:20:16] <wrbtrader> 15 contracts
[10:21:05] <wrbtrader> crazy price action
[10:23:37] <kadtje> all
[10:23:59] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2051.75 --> + 2
[10:24:55] <wrbtrader> another early exit
[10:24:58] <wrbtrader> no WRB pt1
[10:25:23] <wrbtrader> I dumped it when I saw it was having problems with the volatilityh near its regular session lows
[10:29:15] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2052.25 -> small size
[10:29:25] <wrbtrader> 2 point noise range
[10:29:50] <wrbtrader> I'm not willing to watch it travel that far on me
[10:30:02] <wrbtrader> 5 contracts
[10:30:17] <wrbtrader> WRB pt1 reached
[10:30:47] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2052.00 --> + 0.25
[10:30:53] <wrbtrader>
[10:30:59] <wrbtrader> snapback
[10:32:25] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2055.00 -> large size
[10:32:33] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[10:36:23] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2058.75 --> + 3.75
[10:36:27] <wrbtrader> I just got a headache...going for a walk...be back later
[10:53:12] <BobC____> headaches suck....sorry...
[12:07:32] <Lightenup1> short tf 1158.00
[12:16:27] <Lightenup1> point 1 reached
[12:18:35] <BobC____> Hi Lightenup...Thanks for sharing your horrible experience.... I will talk with brokers today to set up safety proceedure....
[12:18:48] <BobC____> i am sorry for your experiences.... horrible
[12:21:21] <Lightenup1> good idea. I checked my statements and money was taken out on Wendsay and Friday. The new address just appeared on yesterdays statement Monday.
[12:22:20] <BobC____> i hope that they catch the b******ds
[12:22:23] <Lightenup1> Flat TF 1158.00 +1.6
[12:23:31] <Lightenup1> Strange also the new address does not even include a street number.
[12:25:25] <BobC____> was it a wire transfer or a mailed check??? has it cleared ?? can it be stopped??
[12:25:44] <Lightenup1> Probably best to have it so that you must also call your broker if you are to make any changes to your account as well as doing it on line. Any money transfers changes in address any changes at all.
[12:26:00] <BobC____> Right
[12:26:04] <Lightenup1> Wire transfer.
[12:26:38] <Lightenup1> They communicated with my broker only via e mail
[12:26:59] <BobC____> Wow... so they were able to set up a bank account in your name????
[12:27:20] <Lightenup1> my e mail and when the broker responded the e mail did not come to me. Whent to them.
[12:28:10] <Lightenup1> That is corect. They set up a bank account in London in both my wifes and my name.
[12:28:59] <BobC____> what a nightmare
[12:29:17] <Lightenup1> Sure is.
[12:30:52] <Lightenup1> I am not sure and nothing is final but my broker is sort of saying that they did everyting correct as they were corresponding with the e mail that I gave them.
[12:33:16] <Lightenup1> The strange thing was I was trading on friday and everyday. Why would the broker not call and ask why I would want to take just about all my money out of my account so that I couldn't tade any more. I could understand if I hadn't used the account for a while. It was used ever day.
[12:34:39] <BobC____> very frustrating..... I have a personal relationship with one of my brokers and it gives me some comfort....
[12:35:12] <BobC____> i am sure that you have the authorities all over it....
[12:36:08] <Lightenup1> The brokerage has sent request for the wire transfer back.
[12:36:56] <Lightenup1> I will call again now and see what has happened.
[12:37:00] <jkarn> You should get a lawyer if they will not correct the error.
[12:39:13] <Lightenup1> Good Idea but I am sure the Lawyer would take more than I lost if past experience is any indication of lawyers.
[12:42:50] <BobC____> I am not familiar with UK infrastructure but they should have some Futures governing board similar to NFA in US??
[12:44:47] <Lightenup1> I think the one big problem is the Bank in England opened an account in my and my wifes name.
[12:45:18] <BobC____> that is one problem,,, and with no photo ID
[12:45:57] <BobC____> they should have security footage that shows the persons
[12:46:17] <Lightenup1> Unless they stole a photo from my computer.
[12:46:36] <BobC____> yeah, but that is not gov issued
[12:47:28] <Lightenup1> I talked to someone today who said you can open a bank account in London on line without even setting foot in the bank.
[12:54:23] <BobC____> oh wow.... that is something.... it helps the bad guys forr sure
[13:04:06] <Lightenup1> Long tf 1159.00
[13:05:58] <Lightenup1> flat TF 1158.80 -.2

Simply, you don't need to be a client of TheStrategyLab.com to use the chat room nor do you need to be a price action trader (no indicators) because some members use indicators while others do not.

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.

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.
