##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

[15:06:10] <@wrbtrader> I've been having problems with this particular trade today...
[15:06:16] <@wrbtrader> I'm trying it again
[15:08:14] <@wrbtrader> Emini TF has been mostly on its own today
[15:09:31] <tradermo> lot of buying but tf weakness is back
[15:09:50] <tradermo> where is the short sqeeze when you need it
[15:10:26] <@wrbtrader> I think Longs and Shorts have been squeezed today
[15:11:03] <tradermo> yes, typical friday, i have zero expectations already
[15:12:01] <tradermo> hoping to close this last trade soon to get into the weekend
[15:15:06] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 1171.80 --> 0

[15:18:00] <@wrbtrader> 10 contracts
[15:20:23] <@wrbtrader> VIX has been mainly dead today and that's just a small part of the price action problem in the Emini futures
[15:20:55] <@wrbtrader> Eminis themselves just couldn't find enough correlation to stick together during a few key volatility spikes
[16:45:15] <t4n_paper> Are you still in this trade?
[16:45:51] <@wrbtrader> Yes
[16:46:27] <@wrbtrader> I've been doing a little more swing trades the past 2 months lately
[16:46:38] <t4n_paper> Have you noticed that end of day price action in CL?
[16:46:48] <@wrbtrader> In fact, more swing trades this year than the last 5 years together
[16:46:51] <t4n_paper> yeah, thats different
[16:47:00] <@wrbtrader> CL was flatlined
[16:47:08] <@wrbtrader> You talking about that
[16:47:19] <t4n_paper> no I meen CL's close
[16:47:24] <t4n_paper> at 230
[16:47:46] <t4n_paper> doesnt that look familiar like the TF EOD close?
[16:48:08] <@wrbtrader> A little
[16:48:39] <@wrbtrader> TF was on another planet today
[16:49:14] <@wrbtrader> Each time I took a trade...it almost instantly did something not recognizable
[16:49:28] <t4n_paper> i had to be those KMEs
[16:49:40] <t4n_paper> It wouldn't leave, but didnt want to stay
[16:49:47] <t4n_paper> I didnt like it
[16:49:50] <@wrbtrader> It has been happening more requently the past few month
[16:50:02] <@wrbtrader> Reason why I'm slowly doing more swing trades
[16:50:39] <@wrbtrader> Wish I did a few soon after those mid-term elections...that was a bullish market tendency for such
[16:50:45] <t4n_paper> swinging this tomonday/?
[16:51:00] <t4n_paper> to monday
[16:51:10] <@wrbtrader> Yep...I'm think I'm ready now for more normal to large size swing trades
[16:52:27] <@wrbtrader> We don't have any 0830am est KMEs on Monday...that's a good thing.
[16:52:52] <@wrbtrader> Reason why I was leaning towards the swing
[16:53:03] <@wrbtrader> Actually, we have the Empire report on Monday
[16:53:23] <@wrbtrader> It rarely attracts volatility
[16:54:09] <t4n_paper> Price today tested the low on the 12th
[16:54:50] <@wrbtrader> I kepted watching the 15min chart today...
[16:54:57] <@wrbtrader> Its extremely tight
[16:55:27] <@wrbtrader> Thus, I'm expecting a BIG volatility spike that'll result in either a trend day or strong continuation price action on Monday
[16:56:21] <@wrbtrader> This is when I like to swing trade...when the day is in a tough tight trading range like today
[16:56:32] <@wrbtrader> setups up a big gap
[16:56:55] <t4n_paper> yes it could
[16:57:03] <@wrbtrader> Take care and see you on Monday...the 10 contracts swing
[16:57:17] <t4n_paper> alright take care
[16:57:26] <t4n_paper> seeya monday

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.

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.
