While I was looking through the Whop trading section, I randomly came across The Lab. To be honest, what drew my attention the most was their funky logo. But once I started looking more into what the group does, I knew I had to check them out in detail.
The Lab is a trading community that focuses on trading futures but also dabbles in forex and crypto. It actually doesn’t provide any signals, which is rare for a trading community but rather relies on daily live streaming sessions with the group’s analysts, as well as a ton of educational material.
If you’re already interested in The Lab, you can join the community today through the Whop Marketplace. Or you can keep reading to find out what I thought of the Discord server and whether it’s worth your money.
Before that, though, let’s talk a bit more about the team behind The Lab.
The Professors behind The Lab
The Lab was founded several years ago by “Kane” (aka @_traderkane) and “Alex” (aka @alextlaz). These two have been trading for many years and are passionate about teaching others and helping them become successful traders. That’s the main reason they founded The Lab in the first place.
Kane is the primary trader within the group and used to focus on swing trades but now prefers a day-trading approach. He’s also very passionate about communicating his insights and trading tips.
Alex is more of an analyst, and his background helps him explain difficult trading concepts through elegant and easy-to-understand infographics.
Together, Kane and Alex have built a truly thriving community that includes thousands of members and dozens of positive reviews on Whop. And they’re always available to support each member with any questions or issues.
Joining The Lab's Discord group
When I joined The Lab’s Discord group, I was pleasantly surprised to find a small and concise server structure. Everything was neatly organized into five sections, with all channels easily identifiable, which made for a very seamless navigation experience.
The first section I visited was the “Initiation”, which includes the “Start Here” channel with all the essential server information you need. You can also find the “Support” channel in this section, where you can open a ticket if you have questions or issues.
And remember to claim your roles in the corresponding channel to get all notifications from the channels you want to follow.
Once you’re done with the Initiation section, you can check out the “News Board” for important server announcements, tweets, and member testimonials. In this section, you’ll also find the group’s schedule, which includes dates and times for the London and New York streams the team hosts every day.
In The Lab, you trade with experts every day
Both Kane and Alex like to trade daily, and they mostly focus on futures indices, like the NQ index. However, they also sometimes trade cryptos and forex. For the latter, they mostly cover the London and New York sessions via trading live streams with one or both experts.
These live streams happen during the morning and late at night, and they’re the perfect place to watch Kane and Alex actively trade and share their ideas. You can also ask them direct questions, which they’ll happily answer.
One very important section within the server is the “Trades” section, where you’ll find individual channels for the Lab Experts. Kane and Alex each have their own channel, and there’s also a separate channel for Juno, one of the latest additions to the team. These channels are where the Experts provide analysis of the market and share potential trades they might take.
Keep in mind that The Lab doesn’t offer any signals, so these channels are exclusively for sharing trade ideas. It’s actually rare for a Discord group to not provide trade signals and alerts, but it shows that Kane and Alex don’t really want you to blindly tail their trades. Instead, they want you to learn from their ideas and insights and find your own trading style.
The trading repository
The primary education hub of The Lab is in the “Trading Repository” section. Inside this section, you’ll find the “Education” channel, which includes a bunch of threads with learning material from everyone in the group.
Some of the most popular lessons include “The Lab Model” and “The Unicorn Model”, which Kane and Juno utilize respectively in their day trading. There are also essential modules, like “Market Theory”, and important lessons on risk management.
In addition to the Education channel, you can find even more material in the “Educational Threads” and “Shared Files”. There’s also the “Daily Journal” channel, where Alex and Kane share new insights and ideas for all members to learn every day. Finally, Kane often records his livestreams, and you can watch them on the “Videos” channel.
The final section of The Lab is the “Trading Lab”, which basically acts as a member area. That’s where you’ll find different chat rooms for futures, forex, and crypto, where you can directly chat with other members, as well as the group’s experts. There’s even a “Community Trades” channel where premium members can post their own trade ideas for other members to follow.

How much is it to enter The Lab?
The Lab only requires a single membership to unlock everything I’ve discussed so far on the Discord server. You just have to pick the pricing plan that best fits your needs. The monthly membership costs $64.99, while the quarterly plan foes for $174.99. There’s also an annual plan for $599 if you want to commit to the group.
There’s an additional membership tier called “The Lab Mentorship”. It costs $200 a month and includes everything in the standard Lab Membership as well as a one 1-1 consultation session with Alex, where you can discuss anything you want. Unfortunately, it was out of stock when I looked at the community but check back in the future in case new spots open up.
The Lab – Join Kane and Alex, and learn the fundamentals of trading today
Overall, I was very satisfied during my time at The Lab. The community is well-organized and is a great solution for anyone looking to get into futures trading, cryptos, or forex. While the price point is a bit steep, the team of Lab Experts has a ton of experience and is willing to teach you all their tricks to succeed.
Even though I was surprised the group didn’t provide trading signals, I quickly realized that there was a lot more value in interacting with Kane and Alex through their livestreams than just tailing their trades. And all the educational content within the group helped me understand futures concepts I wasn’t familiar with.
So, if you want a concise trading community that focuses on learning rather than offering blind trade signals, you can join The Lab on Whop today. You’ll also get to socialize and interact with thousands of like-minded members and learn from them, too.
