##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.
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

[12:48:27] <wrbtrader> Shorts Emini ES @ 2085.75 -> large size

[12:53:30] <wrbtrader> Covered all Emini ES Short @ 2087.25 --> - 1.5
[12:55:19] <wrbtrader> That was the 2nd big pressure change in price direction today that returned to the prior reaction high/low on volatility
[12:55:52] <wrbtrader> The prior one started the downtrend today after the initial uptrend
[13:01:01] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2088.75 -> large size
[13:01:17] <wrbtrader> 30 contracts
[13:13:40] <wrbtrader> It should have been able to push above 2090.00 and get back inside the range of a prior Down WRB Hidden GAP interval
[13:14:35] <wrbtrader> strange price action
[13:14:39] <wrbtrader> It just did
[13:14:56] <wrbtrader> as a WRB pt1 level
[13:16:02] <wrbtrader> Exited 2/3 Emini ES Long @ 2090.50 --> + 1.75
[13:16:43] <wrbtrader> trying the scale out again
[13:17:01] <wrbtrader> Exited Remainder Emini ES Long @ 2090.25 --> + 1.5
[13:17:05] <wrbtrader>
[13:23:33] <wrbtrader> 4 trades of size during this time of day did not pay off
[13:24:53] <wrbtrader> Lately I've been walking away after being bored and seeing very little movemnt and then when I return...I've missed a big movement that showed up at the most strangest time
[13:27:01] <wrbtrader> Emini ES trying hard now to retraded that Down WRB HG interval
[13:27:26] <TradeSnake______> Covered GC @ 1253.5 --> +3.0
[13:28:52] <Cayden> yep- nq, tf and es all trying that- TF just below it 1.5 handles
[13:45:52] <lightenup1> Long ym 17945
[13:51:30] <lightenup1> Flat YM 17955 +10
[15:25:12] <wrbtrader> There use to be a website that maintain real-time liquidity info on the Emini futures and Crude Oil...
[15:25:44] <wrbtrader> I use to take a look at it and than match it up with SC magazine liquidity monthly charts...it was accurate
[15:26:55] <wrbtrader> I would then measure the liquidity of a strong movement versus the liquidity of a similar like movement in the past.
[15:27:43] <wrbtrader> I discover rising liquidity in a trend would produce further directional movement
[15:28:29] <wrbtrader> declining liquidity in a trend would produce more chop, price stalls but it gave no indication of the direction
[15:29:01] <wrbtrader> Anyways, SC magazine no longer post their liquidity info and the other website is out of business
[15:29:28] <wrbtrader> It wasn't useful for trading but it gave a good picture of the price action I traded in the past
[15:30:08] <wrbtrader> Nanex is another website but they do not maintain real-time liquidity data
[15:36:47] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2094.00 -> large size
[15:37:05] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[15:46:41] <Cayden> how would they talley liquidity- volume times price per tic?
[15:48:03] <wrbtrader> something to do with order matching
[15:53:02] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2093.50 --> - 0.5
[15:56:36] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 2092.75 -> large size
[15:57:02] <wrbtrader> 1 contracts
[15:57:09] <wrbtrader> correction
[15:57:15] <wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[15:58:23] <wrbtrader> The past month the volatiliy just hasn't been there for the 4pm est rush hour trading session
[15:58:53] <wrbtrader> because of such its difficult to get a good gauge on the direction
[15:58:54] <Cayden> sounds a little like something you can view via Market Profile- wouldnt give you the actual $$$ values-
[16:03:46] <wrbtrader> just got choppy
[16:04:04] <wrbtrader> after some decent volatility
[16:13:53] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 2094.25 --> + 1.5
[16:14:05] <Cayden> Oil is pretty crazy volitile- crazier than the TF
[16:18:06] <wrbtrader> I would only trade Oil between 2am - 6am est if I had to trade it
[16:19:16] <wrbtrader> I think the European and Asia traders tend to give Crude Oil CL futures and Brent Oil futures a smoother ride in comparison to when the North Americans show up to the game
[16:20:23] <wrbtrader> Thus, I would have to relocate into a differeent time zone to keep Crude Oil trading from impacting my personal life
[16:20:34] <wrbtrader> Take care all and see all tomorrow
[16:21:22] <Cayden> OK- thanx

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.

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.
