[05:35] {craigaudio} who said not to swing aapl? what a hot stock
[05:44] {cosmo} GERN
[05:45] {DaveG} FORD may be one to watch next few days, interesting activity fri late
[05:56] {Roman} GERN Geron says research indicates its embryonic stem cell-based therapeutic for spinal cord injury evades direct attack by the human immune system (8.67 )
[05:59] {Threei} Good morning!
[05:59] {Threei} GERN goes for yet another portion of disappointed buyers eh?
[06:04] {craigaudio} gm vad
[06:04] {Threei} hey craig
[06:09] {DaveG} METH may also be one to watch, they report earnings sometime this week, and it's nearing its high
[06:09] {lklarson} morn all
[06:09] {Threei} lkl :)
[06:10] {dptl} good morning all
[06:10] {Threei} dp :)
[06:13] {Raven} Morning :)

[06:14] {Raven} 3i :)
[06:15] {DaveG} morning Raven
[06:15] {DaveG} morning Vad
[06:15] {esemde} morning RT's
[06:16] {Raven} hi Dave and esemde :)
[06:16] {esemde} morning Raven
[06:17] {Threei} dave, es :)
[06:20] {esemde} market wisdom says there should be a follow through from friday to monday morning
[06:20] {esemde} was a good day friday
[06:20] {Threei} so far NQ - 3
[06:21] {esemde} so much for market wisdom...
[06:21] {Threei} doesn't mean we are in for a red day of course... we saw many days lately that started red and ended nicely in the black
[06:24] {DaveG} FORD near premarket hi
[06:24] {dino} gm all
[06:24] {Threei} dino :)
[06:24] {Threei} FORD had news on Fri?
[06:24] {esemde} dino...
[06:24] {DaveG} no news on Ford
[06:24] {DaveG} just activity
[06:25] {dino} mdvn, alzheimers' drug
[06:25] {dino} phase "II
[06:25] {Threei} daily looked like it was going to the basement until this move
[06:25] {Raven} morn dino
[06:25] {DaveG} yeah, pretty ugly daily
[06:26] {Threei} it's above the resistance now, and 4 is gao close level
[06:28] {Threei} MDVN hard to tell so far... can crash big, can continue to go... I personally would be betting on crash but let's see how it trades first
[06:32] {Threei} FDR short .85, stop above .90
[06:32] {Threei} FDRY
[06:33] {Threei} let this buying show the exact high for a stop
[06:34] {Threei} if goes above 17, invalidated
[06:34] {craigaudio} but the entry still valid?
[06:34] {craigaudio} ok
[06:35] {Threei} 17 holding so far
[06:35] {Threei} triggered
[06:37] {Threei} 1:1
[06:37] {Threei} I am out, I am on a scalping side today
[06:37] {_rob2007} thx 3i
[06:38] {Threei} welcome
[06:38] {Threei} aggressive entry would be very nice r/r wise but where to find the courage for aggressive entry on Monday morning
[06:39] {Threei} TASR?
[06:40] {Roman} just some short covering IMO
[06:40] {Roman} don't see news yet
[06:41] {Threei} makes 52 highs
[06:41] {Threei} .50 break long with .34 stop
[06:41] {Threei} fast fingers
[06:42] {dino} mer l .97
[06:43] {Threei} under .30 invalidating TASR for now
[06:43] {Threei} make sure big offer gets hit at .50 before entering
[06:43] {Threei} if holding above .40 could be good for more than scalp
[06:43] {Threei} but it can be jumpy, so grab half around 1:1
[06:45] {Threei} FDRY can't reach its high so far while NQ rally
[06:46] {Threei} one more short entry, same setup
[06:46] {Threei} 17.01 stop
[06:46] {Threei} actually can enter if .89 is lost
[06:47] {Threei} same condition, only if not breaking 17 before triggering
[06:47] {Threei} and, if holds above .85 and breaks 17, half lot long
[06:48] {Threei} es... market wisdom works :)
[06:50] {Threei} got my short FDRY .85
[06:50] {dino} out mer .60, +.63
[06:50] {Threei} wtg

[06:56] {esemde} NRMX) 5.75 : Co announces it will present today an update on it's investigational product candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease
[06:57] {Threei} unless they forget to appear fort presentation
[06:58] {dino} nrmx, realmoney, delayed results today, needs time to make adjustments?
[06:58] {esemde} ha ha ha ha ........good one!!!
[06:59] {Threei} we already had one alzheimer stock, NYMX, that would reguralry forget to move up on its announcements
[06:59] {dino} bcsi, dk, feels one more spike

[07:01] {Threei} I usually do

[07:25] {Roman} TASR TASER: Sarkozy's political party gains could help TASER rollout - Merriman (11.16 +0.26) -Update-
[07:25] {Threei} lol
[07:26] {Threei} if TASR starts putting out announcements every time right wing party gains popularity somewhere in the world, it will become permanent short
[07:26] {dino} ilmn s hl .49

[07:52] {dino} fcsx hl filled now
[07:52] {_sirzuke} thanks
[07:53] {dino} np...no problem; :)
[07:54] {DaveG} no mags?
[07:54] {Threei} is he OK, dino?
[07:54] {dino} i just called, he's on his way
[07:55] {Threei} OK... I thought computer troubles again, he gets plagued by those often
[07:56] {dino} if he would just update
[07:58] {Threei} TASR tries for break
[08:02] {dino} out mer .73, +.25
[08:04] {dino} fcsx not working, stopping out
[08:04] {Threei} .73 TASR, half lot long
[08:04] {Threei} .59 stop
[08:08] * Threei is kicking TASR in the rear withheavy duty army boots
[08:11] {Threei} stop to .65
[08:14] {Threei} out
[08:14] {_sirzuke} I should have sold at .80
[08:15] {_sirzuke} when I try to hold out for more money I seem to always lose
[08:15] {dino} we all do
[08:15] {Threei} make the corrections according to your trading preferences, risk tolerance and objectives
[08:16] {_sirzuke} I thought scalping was like getting about 10 cents
[08:16] {_sirzuke} or $100 per lot
[08:16] {Threei} any call is general guidelines, they can't be "to the letter" for all traders
[08:16] {dino} for me, getting $100 bucks, all depends on size
[08:16] {_sirzuke} not bad if can do severl times a day
[08:16] {Threei} no, that is a misconception
[08:17] {Threei} we talked about it last week, didn't we
[08:17] {Threei} I gave you links to articles about scalping
[08:17] {_sirzuke} Yeah...but I made all my profits on trades that lasted less than one minute
[08:18] {_sirzuke} thanks
[08:18] {Threei} look at it this way
[08:18] {Threei} just as calls,
[08:18] {Threei} those articles give you general guidlines as well
[08:18] {Threei} nothing in trading is absolute
[08:19] {_sirzuke} right
[08:19] {Threei} because trading is not exact science,
[08:19] {Threei} it's a mix of science and art
[08:19] {Threei} and there are no absolutes in art
[08:19] {_sirzuke} true
[08:19] {Threei} otherwise anyone could learn them and become Da Vinci
[08:20] {Threei} art implies that you put your personality in what you do
[08:20] {Threei} and the result of your activity become reflection of your personality
[08:20] {Threei} so, read that and see how it applies to you
[08:20] {_sirzuke} right...i've been watching NBC's Deal or No Deal...and learned to take the money when you have the chance
[08:21] {dino} i must be one grim guy
[08:21] {Threei} well... one thing is for sure in that game:
[08:21] {Threei} even in such tight limits of decision making, player's personality impact his result greatly,
[08:21] {Threei} you can track it if you watch the game long enough,
[08:22] {Threei} players with feeling of entitlement,
[08:22] {_sirzuke} yep
[08:22] {Threei} those that put their ego ahead of cold calculations
[08:22] {Threei} really get hit hard
[08:22] {Threei} Imagine the impact of one's personality in much more flexible game
[08:22] {Threei} which is trading
[08:25] {Roman} JASO nice reversal
[08:27] {Roman} AAPL long setup small shares
[08:27] {Roman} in 124.60 small
[08:27] {Roman} stop under 124.30
[08:28] {esemde} have a great day everyone...
[08:28] {_sirzuke} what is small shares?
[08:29] {_rob2007} nrmx
[08:29] {Roman} 300
[08:30] {Roman} JASO rocking
[08:31] {Roman} looking for SOLF to follow JASO
[08:35] {Roman} futures stalled?
[08:35] {Roman} stopped AAPL
[08:35] {DaveG} yeah
[08:35] {craigaudio} which are you watching?
[08:35] {Threei} NQ
[08:36] {dino} bcsi hl s .70, stop hod
[08:36] * Threei slaps LaserDave around a bit with a large trout
[08:37] {DaveG} nq maybe reloading
[08:37] {Threei} TSYS interesting
[08:37] {dino} bcsi stopped -.30, hl
[08:38] {dino} stocks getting whippy
[08:39] {Threei} FDRY may set up long
[08:39] {_sirzuke} my apple is still good
[08:39] {_sirzuke} stop at .28
[08:39] {Threei} 17.01 trigger if doesn't lose 16.90 anymore
[08:41] {Threei} if sets up from here, for hardcore scalpers stop 16.92
[08:41] {DaveG} "hardcore scalpers"
[08:41] {Threei} .84 for just scalpers
[08:41] {DaveG} we're missing mags :)
[08:42] {lklarson} out mer +.30 thx dino
[08:46] {dino} gj lkl
[08:46] {dino} idk dave, he only lives 5 miles away fgrom office, i suppose he's goofing off
[08:46] {Threei} finger on a trigger
[08:47] {DaveG} maybe he got lost
[08:47] {craigaudio} fDRY looking good to go
[08:48] {Threei} needs to break that 17
[08:49] {craigaudio} broken
[08:58] {Roman} JASO determinited to sqeeze
[09:03] {Threei} NOVL has news?
[09:04] {Roman} no, don't see news on it
[09:04] {Threei} ty
[09:04] {Threei} some people never look at their dcc...
[09:04] * Threei slaps LaserDave around a bit with a large trout
[09:04] * Threei slaps LaserDave around a bit with a large trout
[09:05] {Threei} craig... weren't you going to do thaat last week
[09:05] {Threei} you are welcome top help me wake up this sleeping beauty
[09:05] * DaveG slaps LaserDave around a bit with a large trout
[09:05] {craigaudio} indeed i was sorry been busy
[09:05] * craigaudio slaps LaserDave around a bit with a large trout
[09:05] {Threei} thank you
[09:05] {Threei} I start missing magoo too
[09:06] {Threei} dino, tell him slapfest has began
[09:06] {dino} he's here
[09:06] {DaveG} tell him to mapquest where he works next time
[09:07] {Threei} and doesn't help us slap laserdave?
[09:07] {Threei} he is not feeling well I suppose
[09:07] {dino} lol
[09:08] {Threei} Dave... you are in dangfer, you know that?
[09:08] {Threei} your joke is actually a good one
[09:08] {Threei} and this is not something fitting this room
[09:08] {Threei} our jokes are lame by default
[09:09] {dino} bamm
[09:09] {Threei} NQ loses steam
[09:10] {dino} wow, 12:10 already
[09:11] {DaveG} i'm always treading on that thin line vad
[09:11] {DaveG} :)
[09:15] {Threei} move FDRY stop to under 17
[09:16] {Threei} if NQ fizzles out and breakout fails, can die for the day easily
[09:16] {Threei} high was 1 cent shy of 1:1, so if you took profit there, can't blame you
[09:19] {dino} solf stoppped flat
[09:23] {dino} zoll
[09:27] {_sirzuke} cnbc sounds awesome
[09:29] {dino} teva
[09:33] {DaveG} 2 for 2 today :)
[09:33] {craigaudio} nice dave
[09:34] {craigaudio} your not a CNBC superstar for no reason
[09:35] {_sirzuke} JASO anyone?
[09:37] {Threei} good boy FDRY
[09:37] {Threei} half out for me
[09:40] {dino} gj dave
[09:40] {dino} bcsi wow
[09:44] {_sirzuke} amzn
[09:44] {_sirzuke} long at 72.04
[09:54] {DaveG} Thou Shall Not Chase
[10:00] {DaveG} i have to tell myself that from time to time :)
[10:00] {_sirzuke} how do you differ chasing from entering on an upside move?
[10:00] {Threei} spike vs consolidation
[10:00] {Threei} if you buy the break of consolidation range, it's valid
[10:01] {Threei} if you buy the the spike on a vertical move, it's chasing
[10:01] {Threei} look at FDRY 1 min for example
[10:01] {Threei} 17 break was valid buy
[10:01] {Threei} if you enter 2 min later at 17.07, it's chasing
[10:02] {_sirzuke} ok....right..but you have to be on chart almost at the exact time
[10:02] {Threei} you spot the setup in advance
[10:02] {Threei} not at the moment of move starting
[10:03] {Threei} stock consolidates for a break, you have you setup structured
[10:03] {Roman} look at AAPL go now
[10:03] {Threei} and ready to enter when it triggers
[10:03] {Roman} RIMM Research In Motion sets new high of 169.51, eyeing its two wk range top/52-wk high from last wk at 169.64 (169.51 +3.84) -Technical-
[10:04] {_sirzuke} so, entering apple now will be chasing?
[10:04] {Roman} yes
[10:04] {Roman} it isn't exactly vertical spike so
[10:05] {Roman} but the safer play would be buy on pullback, 124.80
[10:05] {Roman} i am bidding there
[10:06] {Roman} good example of chasing if u were to buy RIMM at high here
[10:09] {_sirzuke} apple going home
[10:10] {Roman} AAPL Apple WWDC update (12.38 +0.90) -Update-
[10:10] {Roman} Apple store is down. Co normally does this when they have new products coming.
[10:20] {dino} rnow spike
[10:21] {DaveG} 3 for 3 :))
[10:22] {craigaudio} what you traded today Dave?
[10:22] {DaveG} DE
[10:22] {Threei} FDRY stop to .09, next spike for exit
[10:23] {DaveG} when i get more comfortable, i'll post my trades, but for now i just can't

[10:28] {_sirzuke} is apple still a buy at .80?
