[09:01] {Threei} dp :)
[09:02] {esemde} dp
[09:06] {Threei} OK guys, we have two-pronged reason to stay on careful scalping only side today
[09:06] {Threei} one is obvious, this is Friday
[09:07] {Threei} another is, we had unusually easy day of trading yesterday
[09:07] {Threei} and the way things lately, market will punish any complacency we allow ourselves to get into
[09:08] {esemde} wasn't there for the whole day Vad....what do you mean by unusually easy
[09:08] {bruce} jump for joy - leap year is here
[09:08] {Threei} nice and easy to read moves on stocks that rarely are easy
[09:08] {Threei} bruce :)
[09:08] {bruce} vadster
[09:08] {esemde} hmmmmmm
[09:08] {Threei} AAPL for instance
[09:08] {esemde} bruce
[09:08] {bruce} hey ese
[09:09] {Threei} we played it several times, on both sides long and short,
[09:09] {esemde} well done gents
[09:09] {Threei} dptl was so oblivious to the "tough market" mantra that actually allowed himself to get full point profit on one of the calls,
[09:09] {Threei} made me jealous so on next one I did the same
[09:09] {Threei} and beat him by one cent
[09:09] {esemde} any reason for
[09:09] {Threei} (my darn competitive nature)
[09:10] {esemde} these easy moves....indexes predictable
[09:10] {esemde} ???
[09:10] {Threei} who knows... as a trader I don't ask why when I get easy ride, I simply kill a chicken and lay entrails to the feet of trading gods
[09:11] {dptl} lol
[09:11] {esemde} now that is an analogy....that i haven't heard before
[09:12] {Threei} requirement is to bring one's finest cheeses... but I love cheese myself so I cheat and give them what I don't eat anyway
[09:13] {Threei} so... under risk to be slapped silly by magoo, I intend (at least so far) to stay on conservative side, take only trades offering the least risk and be very picky overall
[09:13] {Threei} welcome to the room jjthetrader

[11:32] {bruce} k - definitley tough day for me - that was first win
[11:32] {bruce} figures - I'm away markets behave nicely
[11:32] {Threei} so you milked it for all it was capable of
[11:33] {bruce} still trying to get feel for thse kind of moves vad
[11:34] {Threei} I was very tempted to say "yeah me too"
[11:34] {Threei} then decided my wierd sense of humor will get me in troubles once again
[11:34] {dino} cmed stopped
[11:34] {magoo} OVTI went
[11:35] {bruce} wierdness pervaqdes this room vad
[11:35] * bruce slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[11:35] {bruce} there
[11:35] {bruce} I feel better already
[11:35] {Threei} you are still in OVTI mags??
[11:36] {Threei} tom OK, I can see him holding that long
[11:36] {magoo} no
[11:36] {Threei} but you?
[11:36] {Threei} you start slapping peole with trout if holding over 1 minute
[11:37] {bruce} thats just a release for an overall crappy day vad
[11:37] {Threei} so whiole I am at it... I stronlgy suggest new guys to duck when magoo unholsters that trout
[11:37] {bruce} time for some revenge trading
[11:37] {Threei} NVDA
[11:37] {Threei} long idea of .50 support
[11:38] {Threei} first strength from here
[11:38] {Threei} with stop as tight as they get
[11:38] {magoo} in .51
[11:38] {Threei} another way to play it is to put stop under .40
[11:39] {Threei} and let it play out, if it breaks .60 should be good for bigger move
[11:39] {Threei} if forces trying to keep market up are at work today again, they will do everything in their power to finish strongly today
[11:40] {Threei} so with 2 cents stop in one scenario or 12 in another... valid trade of support on pullback
[11:42] {Threei} here we go
[11:42] {magoo} like to .71?
[11:42] {Threei} hard core scalpers with stop at .49 have what 1:5?
[11:43] {Threei} hmmm
[11:43] {Threei} I can't assign numpers to the target mags
[11:44] {dino} cavm l .66, stop .34
[11:47] {magoo} that can't be it
[11:49] {bruce} l nvda .53
[11:51] {bruce} nvda gooing to put us to sleep
[11:54] {Threei} you sa it as if it were a bad thing
[11:55] {bruce} heck vad - that'll make us comatose - like you
[11:55] {Threei} again...
[11:55] {Threei} you say it as if it were a bad thing :)
[11:55] {bruce} lol - got me
[11:56] {bruce} we can do it as a range lay - in .52 out .55
[11:56] {bruce} over and over
[11:56] {Threei} lol
[11:57] {bruce} out
[11:57] {bruce} I was looking for move to about .70 like you mags
[11:57] {magoo} and with mkt pulling back
[11:57] {magoo} i am out
[11:59] {Threei} I am not sure I understand
[12:00] {Threei} if your stop was couple centsa, why not take at least part on 10 cents spike
[12:00] {Threei} and if your objective was for more, why so tight stop
[12:00] {magoo} actually, i just cut flat and reloaded lower is all
[12:00] {magoo} thought mkt was losing
[12:00] {Threei} risk/reward are part of the same equation
[12:00] {Threei} can't have one without the other
[12:00] {Threei} (Frank Sinatra)
[12:02] {bruce} looks like market selloff is coming mags
[12:03] {Threei} if it happens look to short RIMM .50
[12:06] {bruce} aapl hugging lows too vad - looks likewe csan take it short w fairly small stop
[12:09] {magoo} its all gonna depend on mkt
[12:10] {magoo} spike up they all gop
[12:10] {magoo} crash, we crash
[12:14] {bruce} thoughts on rimm vad? - looks like we need a stop to .90 if breaks down here
[12:14] {Threei} a bit too wide for my taste
[12:14] {bruce} same
[12:14] {Threei} if market breaks down fast, just short RIMM sggressively
[12:15] {Threei} that's if it pauses before dropping
[12:15] {Threei} if drops just as market does oh well
[12:15] {Threei} siply write it off as a trade than never gave you a chance
[12:17] * Threei slaps Laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[12:17] {bruce} aapl broke - miised it - could have got .80 with stop to .04
[12:18] {dino} cavm stop to b/e
[12:18] {magoo} anyone short RIMM here?
[12:19] {ThurstonHowellTheThird} .55
[12:19] {Threei} little help by market and should work
[12:19] {magoo} i sh @ .65
[12:21] {magoo} covered .50
[12:22] {dino} cavm stop to .96
[12:23] {bruce} cool beans mags -
[12:24] {dino} cmed blood
[12:24] {Threei} market is not giving many easy ones today
[12:24] {bruce} yeah- noticed that dino
[12:26] {bruce} market not giving many easy ones this year vad
[12:26] {magoo} shouldn't rimm bounce with mkt vad?
[12:26] {dino} glad i stopped
[12:26] {bruce} only if I short it mags
[12:27] {Threei} it did but somehow not very convincingly
[12:27] {magoo} are u bruce? lol
[12:27] {Threei} here goes your NVDA
[12:27] {bruce} not yet mags
[12:28] {dino} esrx l .48, stop .18
[12:28] {Threei} 11:39] {Threei} if forces trying to keep market up are at work today again, they will do everything in their power to finish strongly today
[12:29] {Threei} looks like they are
[12:30] {dino} i can only buy so much 3i
[12:30] {Threei} come on... sell farm and kids
[12:30] {Threei} I am switching to longs
[12:30] {bruce} especially kids

[12:42] {bruce} k
[12:42] {Threei} NQ heard us
[12:42] {Threei} AAPL is holding though
[12:43] {dino} esrx stopped
[12:44] {bruce} riim skirting lows again
[12:47] {magoo} honestly, NVDA holds pretty well...just won't go
[12:50] {Threei} feeling that we are to see rally today gets stronger

[12:50] {dino} cpla stopped too
[12:51] {dino} sh!t happens bruce, no worries. just making the vacation look better

[12:52] {Threei} hmm
[12:52] {Threei} good question :)
[12:53] {Threei} in my mind, we are going through shakeouts before ramping up
[12:53] {magoo} dam..OVTI vad
[12:53] {Threei} hard to tell how long those shakes will take
[12:53] {dino} shaking me
[12:53] {bruce} we finally have a higher low in rimm if .54 holds now
[12:54] {Threei} OVTI pullbacks are too deep... otherwise, yeah, attacks highs time and again
[12:55] {Threei} not rushing into longs, want to see pattern confirmation first
[12:55] {magoo} prob prin 18

[13:40] {Threei} market prepared everything for a squeeze and actually started it,
[13:40] {Threei} then these comments hinting at possible end of rate cuts and even hikes scared the bejeezus out of market,
[13:41] {Threei} now it's matter of "shrug it off and do what intened" or "OK, Plan B" for the market
[13:41] {Threei} kind of starting it all over again,
[13:41] {Threei} so I want to see confirmation again
