Today's, complete text chat logs below.
##TheStrategyLab primary purpose is for you to use the free chat room as a supplemental trade journal to post your trades and/or price action analysis via WRB Analysis.
Simply, if you log into ##TheStrategyLab free chat room...you're required to post your trade fills and/or you're talking about WRB Analysis of the price action you see on your monitors, posting price action analysis, ask real-time questions about WRB Analysis or posting your real-time trades (simulator or real money) in a timestamp environment after you've received confirmation from your broker trade execution platform...in combo with your professional trade journal software that does your quantitative statistical analysis of your trade performance.
Just as importantly, if you log into the free chat room and do not post your trades...you must post in your private thread after you complete your trading day...post a redacted screenshot of your trade fills in broker trade execution platform, broker statement, or quantitative statistical analysis from your professional trade journal software...no exceptions.
TheStrategyLab free chat room is located on the Libera IRC network along with being a serious professional trading chat room for traders that want to talk about their use of WRB Analysis (e.g. Contracting Volatility, WRBs, WRB Hidden GAPs, WRB Zones, WRB/WRB Hidden GAP profit targets, Key Market Events, Reaction Highs/Lows, Expanding Volatility, R area of WRB Zone, S area of WRB Zone, midpoint of WRB Zone and speed of the price action) merged with their trade methods to improve the performance of their trade methods regardless if they're a position trader, swing trader, day trader, trend trader or range trader.At the minimum, you must be using the WRB Analysis Free Study Guide. In fact, you must verify your understanding and application of WRB Analysis in your trading prior to being allowed entry into the free chat room...no exceptions.
Therefore, you're welcome to use TheStrategyLab chat room to ask questions about WRB Analysis, post your real-time price action analysis involving WRB Analysis merged with your own trade methods, post real-time trades via WRB Analysis, or talk about general market issues impacting today's price action involving stocks, futures, exchange traded funds or forex currencies as part of your trade journal. In addition, we welcome all traders (beginners, experienced, part-time, full-time) who 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.
This is not a signal calling (trade alerts) room. Our free chat room has never been advertised as a trade alerts room and we ban traders for attempting to use our chat room as a signal calling trade alerts room for the purpose to mimic / copy / piggyback / replicate trades posted by any of our members.With that said, thanks for reviewing (reading) the below-timestamped trades, price action analysis or market commentaries and we highly recommend you make a reading of the chat room logs (we use it to provide critical missing info for our broker statements) a part of your trading routine because you will sometimes find useful market context information that's critical to understanding price action trading.
Reminder...most users of WRB Analysis do not use the free chat room but they still are posting their DOKs to verify their understanding of WRB Analysis and posting redacted screenshots of timestamp trade fills (simulator or real money) in broker trade execution platform to verify their application (trade performance) in their private thread.Yet, be aware that many traders (including me) are posting our redacted screenshots of timestamp trade fills in broker trade execution platform and quantitative statistical analysis of the trade performance via WRB Analysis in the private thread section at the forum. For members that have questions about their trading with WRB Analysis, I use their redacted screenshots of timestamp trade fills in their broker trade execution platform and their charts to verify if a trader is correctly using WRB Analysis...is critical info I can not get from their broker statements alone.
