[04:55] {hawkfan4} whew, for a bit there i thought i was gonna have to be in charge :) morning Vad
[04:58] {Threei} morning hawk :)
[04:58] {Threei} hey, it's a good idea
[04:59] {Threei} you sure you don't want to?
[05:03] {hawkfan4} lol, it might be pure chaos. I haven't quite got the stress free trading part down to a science yet
[05:03] {Threei} who said chaos is bad
[05:04] {hawkfan4} :) so true
[05:05] {Threei} from my chess days:
[05:05] {Threei} there was a school of Botvinnik, 3 or 4 times world champion,
[05:06] {Threei} shcool of logic, iron sequences
[05:06] {Threei} strict analysis
[05:06] {Threei} and generation after generation of chess players were taught this
[05:06] {Threei} then at some point new star appeared, Michael Tal,
[05:07] {Threei} a guy who built his entire game style on chaos
[05:07] {Threei} he had natural ability to intuitively find his way in chaotic situations where logic was totally thrown off
[05:07] {Threei} so his approach was:
[05:08] {Threei} from the early stages odf the game he would violate all the rules and all the logic,
[05:08] {Threei} taking the situation off beaten path
[05:08] {Threei} and creation positions with no pillars for traditional analysis
[05:08] {Threei} creating
[05:09] {Threei} what do you know, players of normal schooling would totally lose their ability to analyse situation
[05:09] {Threei} and his skill to find his way in muddy waters would kick in and take him to the victory
[05:09] {hawkfan4} pure genius if you can pull it off
[05:10] {Threei} he even proceeded to beat Botvinnik himself and beome world champion
[05:10] {hawkfan4} nice :)
[05:11] {Threei} genius yes... but general principle applies:
[05:11] {Threei} go off the beaten path, and you have advantage over those who can't play without traditional rules
[05:15] {Threei} btw, trading application exists as well, and on many levels
[05:16] {Threei} the most obvious is, do many of day traders make money trading MSFTs or INTCs of the world? :)
[05:16] {Threei} you have much better chance with obscure stocks
[05:16] {Threei} but as obscure stock gets too much recognition and following, it goes mainstream and becomes harder
[05:16] {hawkfan4} i like it. that's kind of why i haven't made any calls in the room, because i sit thru bigger stops and intraday drawdowns on some of my positions. Like yesterday i started buying WFR at 69.60 and bought it down to 68.90. Made good money, but someone else would've had to bail for a loss b4 it worked.
[05:17] {Threei} another analogy is a stage at which you start paying attention to the stock and particpating in it... early stage is the most priftable, and when the crowd discovers it, move is over
[05:17] {Threei} if bigger stops match your approach/personality, nothing's worng with that
[05:20] {hawkfan4} my biggest problem is that it occasionally leads to a big down day when i'm wrong with my market read. That's something i'm working on, basically not overtrading is my biggest problem.
[05:21] {Threei} I am not sure it's a problem to rectify
[05:21] {Threei} I mean, with wider stops loss is naturally bigger,
[05:21] {Threei} and those days when things don't work will of course will be losing days, and size of loss will be proportional to the width of stops
[05:22] {Threei} when things go in your favor, size of your win is also bigger than average scalpers
[05:22] {Threei} so it's just a matter of scale
[05:22] {Threei} you can't have srtops/losses equal to scalping ones and wins equal to swing trader ones, right?
[05:23] {hawkfan4} true, that makes sense
[05:23] {Threei} as MPP says... all the elements of your trading style should be aligned
[05:24] {Threei} try to keep narrow stops of scalping world while basing your entires on swing setups, and you will be shaken out regularly
[05:24] {Threei} simply because a stop is being placed within area of natural volatility
[05:25] {Threei} and is hit before setup has a chance to work
[05:25] {Threei} when everything's aligned, stop is placed at the level of significance
[05:25] {Threei} and this level will not be the same for a scalping setup vs swing trading setup
[05:26] {hawkfan4} i'm still putting it all together, tweaking everything. You and Dino have been very helpful to me, just watching the way you handle situations, the concept of stress free trading, it's worth working towards
[05:27] {Threei} :)
[05:28] {hawkfan4} And Roman, he's money in the bank. I don't even look at the chart half the time he mentions something. Just grab it.
[05:29] {Threei} yeah, his batting average is not average at all
[05:34] {esemde} good morning ladies and germs.....
[05:34] {Threei} ese :)
[05:34] {Threei} who are you calling germ?
[05:35] {esemde} clasic old shtick of a line but i like it......

[05:58] {BillyD} dp:)
[05:59] {Threei} dp :)
[06:05] {Threei} ETFC didn't convince anyone by yesterday's comments so far eh
[06:06] {magoo} vad, u got a read on ILMN short?
[06:06] {cosmo} EFII pre mkt high = 15.50 fwiw
[06:07] {Threei} chart wise, break of 70... but you know how reliable premarket charts are, especially on gaps of such magnitude
[06:09] {magoo} ok
[06:09] {Threei} EFII is worth watching, could be the case of "bad news is oout, everyone who wanted out has sold"
[06:17] {magoo} vad..lets watch OLMN as a potential short scalp somewhere today..keep eye on it
[06:20] {magoo} short loss of 70
[06:22] {Threei} pretty intense battle here... don't know, I'll stay away
[06:22] {Threei} maybe it forms something more manageable later
[06:22] {magoo} gotcha
[06:23] {Threei} remember how often we saw this kind consolidating, then just going and going and going?
[06:24] {dino} gm all
[06:24] {Threei} dino :)

[08:02] {bruce} that way
[08:02] {bruce} when we make huge losses

[08:08] {bruce} k - that was what I figured
[08:08] {Threei} dp, you know inflation is of concern for bank of canada right?
[08:08] {Threei} I mean, don't spend it all at once
[08:08] {Threei} you can cause inflation spike singlehandedly

[08:09] {Threei} what price did you get btw?
[08:09] {Threei} on entry

[08:09] {bruce} .39 is peanuts dp - vadster promised us yesterday he no longer counts any wins less than .60
[08:09] {bruce} so waiting for those calls today
[08:10] {Threei} I count them but call them horrible trades, bruce
[08:10] {bruce} lol
[08:10] {bruce} ther - grmn just gave . if we'd been able to get in
[08:10] {bruce} and had nerve to hold
[08:11] {Threei} nerve alone is not enough for such trade - need also to sever all brain connections with other organs
[08:12] {bruce} yes
[08:12] {bruce} especailly kidneys
[08:13] {Threei} GRMN seems to follow NQ weith little delay
[08:13] {bruce} nvda losing support
[08:13] {Threei} .72 new setup GRMN
[08:14] {Threei} stop under .40
[08:18] {Threei} not this time
[08:18] {BillyD} yesh, educated guessing game on these kind
[08:18] {magoo} its trading with the QQQQ
[08:22] {esemde} i'm otta here.....see ya tamara

[08:23] {esemde} vad
[08:25] {magoo} qqq powers up...grmn goes
[08:25] {Threei} true... it's just this up and down on NQ(QQQQ) has not much readability to it
[08:26] {magoo} agree with that
[08:26] {bruce} bye ese
[08:27] {Threei} chart wise this is a setup again
[08:27] {Threei} and this time it works
[08:27] {Threei} go figure
[08:28] {BillyD} then next you might try and it don't....lol
[08:28] {Threei} so let's play odd ones and skip even
[08:28] {BillyD} then next time you don't try it does
[08:28] {BillyD} exactly
[08:29] {Threei} even setup, buy off 78
[08:29] {Threei} skipping
[08:31] {Threei} guess what - it worked... I give up, alignment of planets is the only way today . That, and tea leaves
[08:32] {Threei} odd one, buy off 78 again
[08:33] {bruce} chicken entrails vad - thats the answer
[08:33] {Threei} good idea
[08:33] {bruce} messy though
[08:34] {bruce} need to get mags doing it
[08:34] {magoo} did it
[08:34] {bruce} thought so mags
[08:35] {magoo} out here .30
[08:35] {Threei} you took it mags?
[08:35] {Threei} cool beans
[08:35] {magoo} 11:32] {Threei} odd one, buy off 78 again
[08:35] {Threei} yeah, but even one worked just before that
[08:35] {magoo} 11:35] {magoo} out here .30
[08:36] {Threei} and chicken entrails said, "long trip and fortune at the end of it"
[08:36] {Threei} going to double check with 8-ball
[08:38] {dino} out meli .25b +.50
[08:38] {bruce} nice dino
[08:38] {bruce} eslr short?
[08:38] {Threei} notice, no downdraft this time for GRMN as NQ went down
[08:39] {Threei} looks like long again on .50 break
[08:39] {dino} thx bruce, took awhile
[08:39] {Threei} no read on ESLR bruce
[08:39] {bruce} k vad
[08:40] {Threei} from the chart, it doesn't really work on breakdowns
[08:40] {Threei} shorting bounces is the way for it
[08:40] {dino} cov ilnm .43, ave +.35

[08:41] {BillyD} lol
[08:41] {dino} tcbi drop
[08:42] {dino} too fast
[08:44] {bruce} syna possible long off .73?
[08:45] {Threei} stop would be .45... a bit too far for my taste
[08:45] {Threei} if you can regulate it with size, sure
[08:46] {dino} ugh ilmn
