[04:52] {Threei} feeds off EFTC or what? :)
[04:52] {hawkfan4} would you blame them :)
[04:53] {Threei} not really
[04:53] {Threei} if you see a man on abrink of abyss, be merciful and push him
[04:54] {hawkfan4} LOL, especially if he's a trader
[04:54] {Threei} "It's a jungle out there baby"
[04:54] {hawkfan4} tough market, longing for the "easy" market of 2007
[04:55] {Threei} video illustration to above: http://www.realitytrader.com/vad/playing%20nice.gif
[04:55] {Threei} it will be back... cycles, you know
[04:55] {hawkfan4} lol, that's funny stuff
[04:58] {Threei} this period we are going through is just high emotions stage
[04:58] {Threei} readability is much tougher in the hottest moment
[04:59] {Threei} too many conflicting interests and emotions, movements become jerkier
[05:00] {Threei} noticed how much easier trading is in stocks that for this or that reason move on their own merit, with no regard to market?
[05:01] {hawkfan4} absolutely! even those are getting jerked around a bit in this. quick scalping is the way to go, i'm sure you wouldn't argue with that
[05:01] {Threei} well... if I would, it would be only out of general habit to argue with everything {G}
[05:02] {hawkfan4} lol
[05:03] {Threei} people that have to endure me in day-to-day life know well how annoying "ever the contrarian" can be :)
[05:05] {Threei} FRPT another contract... what a dog
[05:05] {hawkfan4} a permenant memeber of my "no-trade" list
[05:06] {Threei} I never made it official for myself... but yeah, I do avoid it for quite a while
[05:09] {Threei} CHINA is another one on that list... and tries to move today too
[05:10] {hawkfan4} yeah, i usually avoid those, CHINA, ASIA, moves are too erratic. I prefer easier ones, like COIN {g}
[05:11] {Threei} lol
[05:11] {Threei} well... surprizingly COIN/SEED kind can be very easy to profit from at the right time
[05:12] {hawkfan4} absolutely. SEED i actually bought the day before the move and held over night. Just looked right to me
[05:12] {Threei} I know the feeling
[05:12] {hawkfan4} COIN has that look but it needs the market
[05:12] {Threei} you look at it and just know what is going to happen
[05:13] {hawkfan4} absolutely
[05:14] {Threei} SEED had all the "facial features" of momo in the making
[05:14] {Threei} although for the world of me I wouldn't be able to put them in words
[05:17] {hawkfan4} the solar decimation has been amazing. some cut in half in 2 weeks
[05:19] {dptl} good morning all
[05:19] {Threei} dp :)
[05:19] {dptl} woke up early today for some unknown reason
[05:20] {Threei} same here
[05:20] {dptl} hmm
[05:37] {magoo} morning rt
[05:38] {Threei} magoo :)
[05:45] {magoo} vad, penguins are too funny lol

[05:47] {magoo} reminds me of our marriage relationship
[05:48] {magoo} im the 1 taking the drink sigh he he
[05:48] {Threei} lol... just wanted to say, don't give her ideas
[05:51] {BillyD} morning guys
[05:52] {Threei} billy :)
[05:52] {Threei} keeping an eye on solars for bounce
[05:52] {Threei} SOLF, CSIQ
[05:55] {cosmo} LOGI
[05:58] {magoo} JASO vad, toughie, but could go multiple points if solars are revitalized
[05:59] {Threei} yes... one of those "if you can handle the volatility"
[06:03] {BillyD} don't see anything that reall y stands out so far
[06:03] {Threei} no
[06:03] {BillyD} ty
[06:08] {bruce} that was odd to hear a call from you in IBM yesterday vad
[06:08] {bruce} NEVER HEARD YOU TRADE THAT BEFORE
[06:09] {bruce} google today?
[06:09] {Threei} well, listed ones started trading in more modern way relatively recently
[06:09] {bruce} k - just such a name brand - you usually stay away from them
[06:10] {Threei} mostly because they don't tend to move nicely
[06:10] {Threei} but IBM did yestyerday
[06:10] {dino} gm all
[06:11] {Threei} dino :)
[06:11] {BillyD} dino :)
[06:13] {dino} :)
[06:13] {esemde} ah ha!!!!am in...my kids disconnected cable to computor.....
[06:13] {Threei} lol
[06:13] {Threei} hi ese :)
[06:13] {esemde} how are you alll
[06:14] {Threei} well... cat yesterday elected to grab the cable modem with both paws, and drop on the floor with it
[06:14] {Threei} guess what... I haven't even lost connection
[06:15] {bruce} that cat doesn't want you trading vad
[06:15] {Threei} well, it sure wants to eat
[06:16] {esemde} this computor is an antique.....least little thing goes wrong....i'm toast
[06:16] {Threei} so it will have to make its peace with me trading
[06:16] {BillyD} windows 3.1 ese?
[06:16] {bruce} looking at listed - mck looks poised for breakout if it goes beyond 68.40
[06:16] {Threei} couple big offers chase SOLF down
[06:17] {esemde} ha ha ha not quite....tower of this particular computor 1998
[06:17] {Threei} one stays at .70, another moves down with price
[06:17] {BillyD} 95' lol
[06:17] {magoo} solf your prime candidate so far vad?
[06:17] {esemde} have a toshiba tecra A4 laptop
[06:17] {esemde} also
[06:17] {BillyD} WIN 98?
[06:17] {Threei} just one of... but I like these offers as an indicator of strength if taken
[06:18] {Threei} or if the cancel as soon as they got it where they want to buy :)
[06:18] {Threei} both SOLF and CSIQ sold down into big support area on daily
[06:18] {esemde} no...actual year of computor
[06:18] {Threei} started showing signs of bounce
[06:19] {BillyD} ok
[06:19] {esemde} not upgradable
[06:19] {Threei} if market finally shakes off this persistent selling, they are good once to ride the wave
[06:20] {esemde} am also looking at them Vad...my solar screen ...green most of it
[06:20] {bruce} zion vad ? anopther possible reversal candidate
[06:21] {Threei} unfamiliar to me bruce, got to look how it trades
[06:21] {magoo} fslr has 20-30 points of bounce potential if the scenario developes
[06:22] {BillyD} Vad, thought you might like to know.....I broke down and replaced 7 yr old mouse
[06:22] {Threei} unlike solars that had nice momo just recently, ZION was under selling pressure for quite a while
[06:22] {Threei} hmmm... then mine maybe approaching the end of its life cycle too billy...
[06:23] {cosmo} 7 years is pretty good for a mouse
[06:23] {roeder} solf
[06:24] {cosmo} LOGI pre mkt high = 27.82 ...so far

[08:54] {Threei} yes mags... eliminating competition {G}
[08:54] {Threei} bruce... stop would have to be over .80
[08:55] {Threei} looks to me like NQ makes one more little bounce before breakdown
[08:55] {bruce} see that vad - was lookingat shorting about .70 - stop too big for my taste on his one now
[08:55] {Threei} aggressive entry on KLAC and QID if so, KLAC short, QID long
[08:57] {Threei} got .22 on QID
[08:57] {Threei} .09 stop
[08:57] {Threei} KLAC no bounce
[08:58] {Threei} now there is, look for entry
[08:59] {bruce} took qid
[08:59] {bruce} hope I don't jinx it
[08:59] {Threei} need NQ to lose 1870
[09:00] {Threei} got .70 on KLAC, stop .81
[09:01] {Threei} half out on both
[09:02] {dptl} out+.15 qid ty
[09:02] {dino} gj
[09:02] {Threei} welcome dp
[09:03] {Threei} offering QID second half .55, stop to .29
[09:03] {Threei} bidding KLAC second half at .45, stop to .65
[09:04] {bruce} took .12 qid - needed a win
[09:04] {Threei} not blaming you
[09:04] {magoo} 182 down
[09:05] {bruce} should have held butno nerve
[09:05] {Threei} taking small wins is a confidence restorer
[09:05] {magoo} add up too
[09:05] {dino} de wow
[09:05] {magoo} 3 $20-0 = $800 bux
[09:06] {Threei} not looking to re-enter for now, not sure trend is intact
[09:07] {bruce} nice retarcement entry on klac vad
[09:08] {Threei} in jerky downtrending market aggressive entries are safer
[09:08] {bruce} agreed
[09:11] {BillyD} Vad, does QID actually follow the lead of NQ....it seems from watching there is also anticipation of the NQ move?
[09:14] {Threei} sometimes, yes
[09:14] {Threei} but mostly it follows
[09:14] {BillyD} ok, thx
[09:15] {bruce} was your entry 98.50 mon dino?
[09:16] {dino} 97.50
[09:16] {magoo} nice 2 calls vad
[09:17] {bruce} k so 1.50 stop that was wide
[09:18] {dino} y
[09:19] {bruce} dewfinitley wide - will need to factor that in when you say you have a wide stop
[09:21] {dino} size accordingly
[09:21] {magoo} so now u even ignoring me? {as i run to nearest rock}
[09:21] {Threei} who?
[09:21] {Threei} me?
[09:22] {bruce} no one ignoring you mags
[09:22] {bruce} just to prove it
[09:22] {Threei} I beg to differ bruce
[09:22] * bruce slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[09:22] {Threei} here is my version of answer:
[09:22] {Threei} I am ignoring everyone, why do you think you should be exemption?
[09:22] * bruce slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[09:23] {Threei} and now you know why {G}
[09:28] {bruce} taking break
[09:32] {Threei} FED'S FISHER: READY TO TAKE SUBSTANTIVE ACTION POLICY ACTION, BACKS ACTION IF INFLATION IS CONTAINED- Global growth driving up inflation pressures
[09:32] {Threei} we just can't win, can we?
[09:32] {Threei} global growth is bad, absense of global growth is bad
[09:32] {Threei} is there anything good left on this planet?
[09:33] {magoo} my i tentions are good..results just bad
[09:34] {dino} out mon 100, +2.50
[09:36] {magoo} NICE
[09:36] {Threei} high five dino
[09:37] {dino} avtr
[09:37] {Threei} second day I try to attract your attention to this one... good to see you nailing it
[09:37] {dino} ty vad for heads up
[09:37] {Threei} it just felt like your kind
[09:46] {dino} avtr
[09:52] {BillyD} hard to get a real confirmation on QID here
[09:52] {BillyD} now I do
[09:53] {BillyD} were you watching it Vad
[09:53] {BillyD} I was looking short
[09:53] {Threei} no, sorry
[09:53] {Threei} from chart, looks valid
[09:53] {BillyD} ok, trying to get in sync with it
[09:53] {Threei} but didn't watch actual trading
[09:54] {BillyD} it seems by time a see a good confirmation....it moves already
[09:55] {BillyD} tough to keep a tight stop with the jerkiness
[10:08] {bruce} maybe better with wider stops billy
[10:08] {bruce} smaller shares
[10:08] {bruce} even vads last qid trade came within 1c of stopout
[10:08] {dino} acor
[10:09] {BillyD} yes bruce, just the moves direction can change pretty quick
[10:09] {bruce} yes - for me - several of my trad4s would have workedif gave them more room
[10:10] {BillyD} ACOR?...all the crazies out today
[10:10] {bruce} tough call - but not ehlpful to have small stops if almost all get stopped out
[10:10] {BillyD} yes
[10:11] {bruce} crazies billy - you talkin bout mags?
[10:11] {dino} lol
[10:12] {dino} he's running around like a happy schoolgirl today
[10:13] {bruce} maybe he is a schoolgirl
[10:13] {dino} roflol
[10:13] {bruce} acor short here dino?
[10:13] {dino} market going up, not sure
[10:14] {bruce} k
[10:14] {dino} rather it hits 25ish
[10:15] {bruce} what is your max stop dino - seems like 2.50 or so?
[10:16] {dino} edu
[10:16] {dino} depends on size, max loss of 250-300
[10:16] {bruce} k
[10:16] {bruce} so only played 100 shares or so in mon?
[10:17] {dino} w/200-300 pts market ranges, have to size down to not get stopped all over
[10:17] {bruce} k- thats been happening to me
[10:17] {dino} 200 actually
[10:18] {dino} when you string together lots of stops, you must either size down or pullback
[10:18] {dino} imo of course
[10:19] {bruce} k
[10:20] {dino} remember rule #1
[10:21] {dino} you must stay in the game
[10:21] {bruce} blame magoo?
[10:22] {dino} lol
[10:22] * bruce slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[10:22] {BillyD} you mean keep trading actively dino or capital preservation?
[10:22] {BillyD} both to an extent
[10:23] {dino} always prtect your capital...you must stay in the game, otherwise out of business
[10:23] {dino} never any reason you must trade
[10:23] {BillyD} yep
[10:25] {bruce} missed acor - it almost hit 25 then reversed
[10:26] {dino} i over thougt it
[10:27] * magoo slaps bruce around a bit with a large trout
[10:27] {bruce} ouch - Ihardly deserved that mags
[10:27] {bruce} not like I ever did that to you
[10:28] {bruce} hurt my feelings
[10:28] * bruce slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[10:28] {dino} edu sm l .80
[10:29] {dino} stop lod
[10:31] {bruce} couln't get .8 fill
[10:31] {bruce} waiting for retracement on it
[10:32] {bruce} nice dino
[10:32] {dino} thx
[10:32] {dino} you in
[10:33] {bruce} no
[10:33] {bruce} read above - didn't get filled
[10:33] {bruce} and not going to chase today
[10:33] {dino} ok
[10:34] {dino} don't chase
[10:34] {bruce} could have got .95 I think but wanted closer to your .8
[10:36] {dino} out .91, +1.11
[10:37] {bruce} very nice
[10:37] {dino} ty
[10:39] {Threei} AKAM half lot .21 long
[10:40] {dptl} stop?
[10:40] {Threei} .09 stop
[10:43] {dino} rvbd l .49 stop lod
[10:48] {BillyD} how about that little mkt spike
[10:49] {bruce} sorry vad- jinxed akam
[10:49] {Threei} ?
[10:50] {bruce} hit .09
[10:50] {Threei} it went within 1 (one) cent of 1:1, market dropped like crazy and it stayed within 1-3 cents off the 1:1 for a min - and you didn't exit?
[10:50] {Threei} come on
[10:50] {dptl} stopped akam
[10:51] {Threei} you guys...
[10:51] {dptl} yes that was a mistake
[10:52] {dptl} was offering .36 it went to .32
[10:52] {bruce} sorry vad - never quite hit 1 to 1
[10:52] {Threei} let's see
[10:52] {Threei} .21 - 0.09 = .12
[10:53] {Threei} .21 + .12 = .33
[10:53] {Threei} it topped at .32
[10:53] {Threei} which is "within 1 cent of 1:1" as I aaid
[10:53] {Threei} is my math wrong?
[10:53] {bruce} yes - with 21 entry call -
[10:54] {bruce} anyway - its done
[10:54] {Threei} if you had to enter a bit higher, it doesn't change chart
[10:54] {Threei} stock continues moving by chart rules, it has no idea about your entry, right?
[10:54] {Threei} obey chart, not your entry
[10:55] {BillyD} may I interject
[10:55] {bruce} understood vad - maybe I wasn't reading right
[10:56] {dino} rvbd stop to .28, mkt falls
[10:56] {BillyD} I think what Vad is saying, is that it was within 1 penny of 1:1 and the mkt spike down should have raised caution to exit early
[10:56] {Threei} eqzaktly
[10:56] {Threei} and AKAM was kind enough to wait for us
[10:57] {Threei} not dropped right away when market did
[10:58] {BillyD} sometimes you can get caught up executing exactly to the black & white strategy and forget to let the flavor of the trade tell when to adjust the plan
[11:00] {Threei} I thought it was a given after you guys exited QID trade a bit early last time around
[11:00] {Threei} and that one was still performing when you did...
[11:01] {bruce} sorry vad - been hammered today - trying not to let that cause me to do early exits
[11:01] {bruce} early exits with full stops is just another recipe for failrue
[11:02] {bruce} anyway - it's done
[11:02] {Threei} well, early is one thing... but 1 cent is another :)
[11:02] {Threei} it falls into "don't be that literal" category
[11:03] {BillyD} you crack me up Vad with that saying
[11:03] * bruce slaps bruce around a bit with a large trout
[11:03] {BillyD} you are one of the most literal people I know
[11:04] {BillyD} providing it's not time to deviate
[11:04] {BillyD} it's knowing when to is the key
[11:04] {Threei} really?
[11:04] {BillyD} yes
[11:04] {Threei} hmmm... and I thought I was flexible one
[11:05] {Threei} and illiteral
[11:06] {BillyD} where is Raven? is that a real word
[11:06] {dino} circling
[11:06] {BillyD} lol
[11:13] {Threei} looked it up
[11:13] {Threei} illiterature would be the better word
