##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

[09:55:44] <wrbtrader> Not much volatility...too bad because we got a decent regular session gap on the open...
[09:55:50] <wrbtrader> Yet, poor volatility
[09:55:53] <wrbtrader>
[09:56:24] <Tigerman____> yeah this kind of actopn give me lot of problems

[09:58:26] <Tigerman____> today , good x me not a lot
[09:58:42] <Tigerman____> in contrast traded too much yesterday
[09:59:02] <Tigerman____> using fast chart like 10-15sec charts
[09:59:18] <wrbtrader> Too fast for me
[09:59:40] <Tigerman____> too hard and issue for commission too expensive to collect few ticks
[10:00:28] <Tigerman____> also fast charts not good to trade if overall vola is bad in higher charts like 1-2min
[10:00:55] <Tigerman____> simply they goes up/down pick up stop easy
[10:04:23] <Tigerman____> wrbtrader did you read about CME start trading end of thid year russel index

[10:06:52] <wrbtrader> I did know ICE was on contract for the TF but I didn't know when it was going to expire

[10:10:33] <Tigerman____> exit 2/3 191.25 +22 tk
[10:10:49] <wrbtrader> Must be another Russell product and not the TF
[10:11:18] <wrbtrader> because I thought ICE was locked in on TF until 2020
[10:11:40] <wrbtrader> then it either renews the contract or sells it to another exchange
[10:11:43] <Tigerman____> exit rem 1/3 191.16 +13tk

[12:06:27] <Tigerman____> take care see next time
[13:21:44] <wrbtrader> I was ready at 1130am est to look for Short positions until I forgot I had a lunch appointment with my kids at their school.
[13:22:10] <wrbtrader> School allows parents to eat lunch with their kids at the school...once per month
[13:22:19] <wrbtrader> Today was that day for me
[13:23:09] <Corner> I hope the lunch at your school is better than at the school of my kids...
[13:23:57] <wrbtrader> Its a private school and it still looks like prison food in a third world country based upon what I've seen on TV
[13:23:58] <wrbtrader>
[13:24:21] <wrbtrader> They said its "very healthy"
[13:24:28] <Corner> Same here :-)
[13:24:45] <wrbtrader> Next time I bring my own lunch...sushi
[13:25:01] <Corner> They say it has to be that way, otherwise it wouldn't be healthy enough...
[13:26:06] <Corner> Mhhh. Sushi is a good idea for tonight...
[13:26:31] <wrbtrader> There was another Dad in there...he pulled out of his big lunch bag hot mashed potatoes with steaming gravy and steak...
[13:26:36] <wrbtrader> I almost jumped the guy
[13:26:45] <Corner>
[13:32:29] <wrbtrader> Long Emini ES @ 1895.50 -> large size
[13:32:37] <wrbtrader> 5+5 contracts
[13:35:27] <wrbtrader> No such thing as a "safe trade"...
[13:35:48] <wrbtrader> That was the initial thought I had on this losing Long position
[13:36:14] <Corner> Lookes like a failed L1 followed by a failed H1 :-(
[13:36:28] <wrbtrader> one of those strange snapback upwards would be nice about now
[13:40:54] <wrbtrader> Exited all Emini ES Long @ 1896.00 --> + 0.5
[13:41:18] <wrbtrader> gotta take it eventhough its a "small WRB pt1"
[13:41:37] <wrbtrader> now the snapback shows up after my exit
[13:41:43] <wrbtrader>
[13:42:21] <wrbtrader> I always amazed by that aspect of trading...
[13:42:55] <wrbtrader> We can exit a trade and then seconds later...it takes off without us
[13:42:57] <wrbtrader> OR
[13:43:23] <wrbtrader> It suddenly reverses and we're feeling "lucky" we got out with a profit
[14:55:18] <winmax60> long es @1901.5
[14:56:11] <winmax60> exit @ 1903.50 +2
[15:26:28] <winmax60> es testing previous high..
[15:27:05] <lightenup> TF also testing previous high
[15:27:28] <Corner> Still looks like barb wire to me
[15:28:08] <lightenup> good analogy
[15:31:39] <Corner> Short ES mini 1904.25
[15:32:22] <Corner> Exit all ES mini 1905.25 -1.00
Session Close: Thu Oct 01 00:00:01 2015

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.
