We thank all the guests who attended our Open House. We navigated through the rough waters of these two days quite smoothly, finishing Thu in the money and Fri with no single losing trade. Also had a chance to provide educational commentaries to some of the trades, especially textbook QQQQ day trade and a few scalps on breaks and pullback entries. We hope you enjoyed your stay with us.
Session Time: Fri Oct 24 00:00:00 2008
[07:26] {Nemo} Guten Morgen
[07:27] {_coyote} Good Morning Nemo
[07:28] {Nemo} Markets may not open this morning, futures down so much
[07:29] {_coyote} What does that forebode?
[07:30] {Nemo} If there at limit down, there's only trading on equities bid above the down limit. It means 1987.
[07:30] {_coyote} Are the futures that close to limit down this morning?
[07:31] {Nemo} They're at limit down now
[07:32] {_coyote} Where do you get your futures quotes from?
[07:33] {Nemo} If they don't come off, today and likely monday will (use your favorite adjective). I have Fidelity. You can look at finviz.com or bloomberg
[07:33] {_coyote} Thanks Nemo
[07:45] {Threei} Good morning
[07:45] {Threei} wow
[07:45] {Threei} what the heck happened overnight?
[07:45] {Threei} both SP and NQ are limit down
[07:45] {_coyote} Good Morning Threei...looks bad
[07:46] {Nemo} DOW limit down also
[07:46] {Threei} any overnight news causing that or just because?
[07:46] {Nemo} Nothing specific.I'd say hop on the Short ETF wagons, but I'm not sure what will trade this morning.
[07:47] {Nemo} I'll grab the vodka
[07:47] {Threei} PIMCO'S EL-ERIAN: EMERGING MARKETS STARTED THE SELL-OFF, CARRY TRADES GOT HIT HARD, FORCED REDUCTIONS BEGAN YESTERDAY - CNBC INTERVIEW
[07:47] {Threei} - Heavy damage to the system is being worked through, the system needs to get rid of its "damaged parts."
[07:47] {Threei} - Insists however that credit pipes are starting to unclog
[07:47] {Nemo} Words are cheap. LIBOR up, bank hoarding, OPEC cut production
[07:48] {Nemo} This feels like 1987. Today and Monday-ouch
[07:48] {Nemo} Oh report on heightened Russian default risk
[07:49] {Threei} days when you are happy to be a day trader
[07:50] {_coyote} Yes indeed
[07:54] {Nemo} I wonder non-dividend paying stocks will be toast in the future
[07:54] {Threei} just how much do you hate to admit that once a few years even Cramer is right
[07:55] {_coyote} Who?
[07:55] {Nemo} Cramer was just on the bandwagon. Having said that, he picked good stocks. I'd see measurements of return from the day he mentioned them
[07:55] {Threei} TV guru... Jim Cramer
[07:55] {Nemo} Even he would say wait a week.
[07:55] {Threei} I mean his sell everything call
[07:56] {_coyote} Anyone hold anything overnight?
[07:56] {Nemo} Not to pat myself on the fin, but not comparing this to '74 or the depression was the mistake.
[07:56] {Threei} some SLW, coyote
[07:56] {Nemo} Nope. but I wish I had bought the short ETFs!!!
[07:57] {Threei} not looking encouraging
[07:57] {Nemo} Yeah, and that's bid down this morning
[07:57] {_coyote} Does that mean no free food free drinks and girls for the open house?
[07:57] {Threei} we had a lot yesterday
[07:58] {Threei} be back in 10
[08:11] {Threei} QID trades at 89
[08:11] {Threei} looks weird, with this gap down it should be much higher
[08:11] {Threei} trhings are broken
[08:12] {Nemo} Well, those hard limit downs are like banning short selling, which affected the short ETFs
[08:12] {Threei} yeah, distorts prices
[08:13] {Nemo} So, if I start drinking, will it un-distort things?
[08:13] {Threei} OPEC PRESIDENT KHELIL: NOT CONCERNED BY TODAY'S DROP IN OIL PRICES
[08:13] {Threei} of course he isn't
[08:14] {Threei} sorry Nemo, but we have a strict limitation on drinking here: none before 9:25 EST, no more than 300 g of vodka in one gulp, and not more often than one dose every 5 minutes
[08:14] {Nemo} Danish central bank raised rates
[08:14] {Threei} are they out of their collective mind?
[08:15] {Nemo} Yeah, I've had more than my fair share of those Russian tea glass doses
[08:15] {Threei} LIMIT REMINDERS FOR US EQUITIES FROM CME GROUP AND NYSE FOR THE Q4
[08:15] {Threei} http://www.nyse.com/press/circuit_breakers.html
[08:15] {Threei} http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/files/EquityIndexPriceLimitGuide.pdf{SPY
[08:16] {Threei} IEA: TODAY'S OUTPUT CUT WILL FURTHER DETERIORATE WORLD ECONOMIC SITUATION
[08:16] {Threei} OPEC: as if we care
[08:16] {Threei} (US) MARKIT: US INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT CDS INDEX WIDENS TO A RECORD LEVEL OF 243.75 BPS ON FALLING EQUITY FUTURES
[08:17] {Nemo} Well either 1) the world is ending-not 'till 2012. or, 2) This is the capitulation. Hopefully it doesn't crash the machine
[08:17] {Threei} 1 is questionable - why wait that long?
[08:17] {Threei} I say lert's have world end today and be done with it
[08:18] {Nemo} Yeah, but the mystics from the various traditions around the world say 2012
[08:18] {Threei} well, then we have almost 4 more years to enjoy
[08:19] {Threei} just gotta make sure you have a gun handy I guess
[08:19] {Nemo} What's scary, is there all in agreement. Not like those 7th day Adventists back in the 1800s or the Lubavitchers when Schneerson ie
[08:19] {Threei} 'cause a lot of others might have different ideas on how to anjoy it
[08:19] {Nemo} GUN(S) plural and ammo
[08:19] {Threei} are you ever optimist eh :)
[08:20] {Nemo} When I deem it the right course of action
[08:20] {Threei} I show oil 63.79
[08:20] {Threei} not sure this wuote is right
[08:21] {Nemo} Can't wait to hear your game plan for the day. Helluva time to hold an open house, huh?
[08:21] {Threei} lol
[08:21] {Nemo} I've got oil at 63
[08:21] {Threei} my timing in these things always sucked
[08:22] {Threei} RealityTrader creation itself - 2000
[08:22] {Threei} not 1998
[08:22] {Threei} not 2003
[08:22] {Nemo} Better to suck at this than at your trading, huh?
[08:22] {Threei} just before big crash :)
[08:22] {Threei} I guess
[08:22] {Threei} on the other hand...
[08:22] {Threei} we had absolutely fantastic trading weeks,
[08:23] {Threei} easy to see by reading our trading logs,
[08:23] {Threei} winning 9 days out of 10 on those two weeks of biggest swings
[08:23] {Nemo} Yeah, you've been cleaning up. Just hopefully (optimistically speaking) those piece of paper continue to be worth something
[08:23] {Threei} and firmly intend to keep the room as safe as possible today
[08:23] {Threei} well, that's all we have
[08:24] {Nemo} Bar the door then
[08:24] {magoo} morning
[08:24] {Threei} morning mags
[08:24] {magoo} certain;ly tough times to do an open house
[08:24] {Threei} hehe
[08:25] {Nemo} shoulda' read the discourse magoo. smack him with my cousin!!
[08:25] {Threei} DJI - 600
[08:25] {Threei} and we haven't even opened yet
[08:26] {Nemo} Here's hoping this is 1987 and not 1929
[08:26] {Threei} I would say never in my life have I seen anything like over last three weeks,
[08:26] {Threei} but then again, everyone is saying this
[08:26] {_coyote} Maybe should have stayed with the Indian slots
[08:26] {Threei} lol
[08:26] {Nemo} I was sitting in class during 1987, that was something
[08:27] {Threei} I still don't think it's going to be repeat of Great Depression
[08:28] {Threei} uh oh
[08:28] {Nemo} As you say about the markets, it doesn't matter what we think. The great (cough, cough) minds didn't see this coming
[08:28] {Threei} GM
[08:28] {Threei} COMPANY REITERATES THAT BANKRUPTCY 'NOT AN OPTION'
[08:28] {Nemo} Fed will supply mouse money to GM
[08:30] {Threei} Raven... you noticed sky is falling?
[08:30] {Nemo} Maybe I'll just run up my credit cards and file bankruptcy
[08:32] {Nemo} SKF pretty much pinned at 180, although 20% return overnight would have been nice
[08:33] {Raven} Just your once a century panic ... no problem
[08:33] {Threei} yup
[08:35] {Nemo} Vad, check Bill this mornin'?
[08:35] {magoo} man
[08:35] {Threei} not yet nemo
[08:36] {magoo} , so i understand we have to sit -n-see, but any working theories for toay?
[08:36] {Threei} well
[08:36] {magoo} it could crash at bell...bounce ...and crash
[08:36] {Threei} first, it's going to be a chaos
[08:36] {Threei} I intend to skip the very open,
[08:36] {magoo} it could spike at bell, hard pullbk, then up then close at lows
[08:36] {Threei} simply because volatility will be beyond risk tolerance
[08:36] {magoo} btw, whats gun for?
[08:37] {magoo} suice or self defense at worlds end?
[08:37] {magoo} suicide\
[08:37] {Nemo} self-defense
[08:37] {Threei} latter
[08:39] {magoo} i do not think anyone will want to hold over weekend thinking a black monday is set up here
[08:39] {magoo} odds in favor of closing at lows
[08:40] {magoo} so at 2pm..look to see selloff
[08:40] {Nemo} Not to step out on a limb, but the odds are probably 1:1 on that
[08:40] {magoo} explain please
[08:41] {Nemo} I'm agreeing with your view. 1:1 is even money odds
[08:43] {magoo} well, i not giving it even odds
[08:43] {Nemo} As a matter of fact I was just about to say that magoo
[08:43] {magoo} i say{and i do not know jacksh@t}, BUT, who in right mind would buy long into last hour?
[08:44] {Nemo} Who buys long period these days?
[08:45] {Threei} someone does
[08:46] {Nemo} Yeah, and you take their money :)
[08:46] {Threei} I mean... all these mutual and hedge funds liquidations,
[08:46] {Nemo} Wow, GDX and GLD both bid down
[08:46] {Threei} these insane amounts of shares do go in someone hands, right?
[08:47] {Nemo} Oh, I agree, just crazy. Although, as we see today, nobody is buying.
[08:47] {Threei} that's not exactly right
[08:47] {Threei} maybe nobody is buying actively
[08:47] {Threei} meaning bidding up and taking offers
[08:48] {Nemo} Well, would supply be well in excess of demand so far today?
[08:48] {Threei} but when bids are geting hit, someone did sit on those bids and absorbed selling, right?
[08:48] {Threei} and when supply side is so eager,
[08:48] {_Bruce} morning all
[08:48] {Threei} bidders are ever so willing to drop bids and get better prices
[08:48] {Threei} bruce :)
[08:48] {_Bruce} vadster
[08:49] {Threei} I mean, you are car hunting,
[08:49] {Threei} you see big inventory
[08:49] {Threei} and dealer eager to sell
[08:49] {Threei} pressing you to buy NOW
[08:49] {Threei} offering discounts
[08:49] {Threei} you will try to lowball your bid, right?
[08:50] {Nemo} Absolutely. Do you think volume will be the story today?
[08:51] {Threei} both volume and price
[08:53] {dino} gm all, seems i was a day early on end of days
[08:53] {dino} black friday in the making perhaps
[08:53] {Threei} dino :)
[08:53] {Threei} no, you were right, it's just that world end is a process
[08:54] {Threei} unfolds over certain period of time
[08:54] {lisa_jay} Good morning.
[08:54] {Threei} lisa :)
[08:55] {Threei} gold under 700?
[08:55] {Threei} jeez
[08:58] {_Bruce} dino
[09:00] {dino} :)
[09:01] {dino} chaos today, big swings both ways. end of day, who knows, gut says down -200ish. all just opinion, which are like asses, everybody has one
[09:01] {Threei} I agree with every word except my gut says nothing about closing number
[09:02] {Threei} on days like thgis anything is possible
[09:02] {Threei} literally
[09:02] {lisa_jay} How about we close up...
[09:02] {Nemo} And I have to leave early today
[09:03] {dino} ok lisa, about as good as my guess
[09:03] {dino} ahhh, nemo, we are like hotel california, you can check in, but never leave
[09:04] {Nemo} I remember when that came out
[09:04] {lisa_jay} My kid begs us not to play "when your hungry love with keep us alive"
[09:04] {lisa_jay} sorry love will keep us alive.
[09:04] {Nemo} Better than "Love will keep us together"
[09:05] {lisa_jay} :-)
[09:05] {Nemo} They got divorced

[09:23] {Nemo} Yeah, it's kinda' like being at the intersection of a really bad car accident
[09:23] {Threei} so you may get caught in frozen platform even when you are right on your entry
[09:24] {lisa_jay} Bloomberg guy says we will open limit down even double limit down...1 buyer and about 11000 sellers - of course i don't listen to news (J. Carter floor trader)

[09:53] {magoo} need a pullbk
[09:53] {Threei} yeah, buying breaks so far feels like the craziest thing to do
[09:53] {Threei} thus it works, lol
[09:56] {Nemo} uyg continues to climb
[09:56] {Threei} everything does
[09:57] {Threei} lulls traders into complacency
[09:57] {Threei} and will drop hard just when everyonwe decides it's up only for the day
[09:57] {Nemo} ahhh and you accuse me of pessimism :)
[09:58] {lisa_jay} Parabolic rise....
[09:59] {ese} nice climb back for NVDA into green....
[09:59] {Nemo} note from bill cara on futures as a market indicator: I think holding on at this point is the wisest move. Futures markets are only reflecting the sell orders streaming into equity and commodity markets, which have stopped working as value discovery mechanisms.
[09:59] {Nemo} Somebody sent me an article by Jon Markman titled "Bundled up for a deep credit freeze" and asked me for my take. I found it interesting, but it's backward looking. I replied,
[09:59] {Nemo} "Markman saying 'The onslaught has begun' is a problem I have with t
[09:59] {Nemo} I have with this article. It's already late in the game and he has succumbed to an emotional crisis. My analysis is showing that on rallies, the retail accounts are selling and the institutional accounts are waiting for the sell-off, then buying. It's only a mater of time before traders see that the market is no longer functioning as a value discovery mechanism, and the selling stops." The buying will follow.
[10:00] {Threei} SEPT EXISTING HOME SALES: 5.18M V 4.95ME
[10:00] {Threei} wow
[10:00] {Threei} good numbers for a change

[10:05] {Threei} everything half lot, and don't jump in until you see pause and signs of strength returning
[10:05] {Threei} moves in both directions are likely to be exaggerated
[10:06] {Threei} much biger than one would normally expect
[10:06] {Threei} and in any case, rule for the day is better to miss the play than to get caught in sharp countermove
[10:06] {dino} pulp market
[10:07] {Threei} heroic inclinations of "I have to be in action" kind is exactly the stuff wiped out traders are made of
[10:07] {Threei} we are getting there, Qs
[10:08] {Threei} want one more leg down
[10:08] {Nemo} Vad "inaction" is also to be "in action" :)
[10:09] {Threei} philosphically speaking yes :)
[10:09] {Nemo} cogito ergo sum
[10:09] {Threei} did you see on Qs just now?
[10:09] {Threei} teleportation from .30 to .12
[10:09] {Threei} exactly what I mean by the move that traps you
[10:10] {Threei} need one more dump
[10:10] {Threei} not buying here
[10:10] {magoo} AAPL is the tell guys/gals
[10:10] {Nemo} I understood. thanks, vad. DUG building strength
[10:10] {Threei} come on Qs, dive under 29
[10:11] {Threei} shake out those who decided it's up only
[10:11] {Threei} then we will buy
[10:11] {dino} ice sm risky l .40
[10:12] {Threei} here we go
[10:12] {Threei} UAUA is getting there too
[10:12] {Threei} still don't see sharp red bar
[10:12] {Threei} on either
[10:13] {Threei} OK, first try Qs if not losing .90 anymore
[10:13] {Threei} 28.05 trigger
[10:13] {Threei} half lot!
[10:14] {dino} ice stopped -.41
[10:14] {Threei} 29.05 sorry
[10:14] {dino} rinsed
[10:15] {Threei} Q 1 cent shy of 1:1 on a spike
[10:15] {Threei} OK, geting there
[10:15] {Threei} 1:1 Qs, half out, scalpers be happy
[10:15] {dino} ice off of .25 fast
[10:16] {Threei} stop to .99
[10:16] {Threei} for the balance
[10:16] {Threei} UAUA is right near 12.50 support
[10:16] {Threei} this one is even more volatile
[10:16] {Threei} not sure it's worth the risk here
[10:17] {Threei} if you like it, be ready for a stop under .50 and poissible multile entries
[10:17] {Threei} if went for it, try to offer around .90
[10:18] {Threei} there
[10:18] {Threei} take profit and don't get stuick in it
[10:18] {Threei} playing it as safe as possible today
[10:19] {magoo} take profit...go change diaper..get cup-o-joe
[10:19] {Threei} eqzaktly
[10:19] {Nemo} use vaseline
[10:19] {dino} gun to the head...up or down
[10:19] {magoo} do NOT make me slap u again nemo lol
[10:19] {dino} up imo
[10:19] {Threei} Qs, stop for the balance is still right under 29,
[10:20] {magoo} down retest low...upo to moon
[10:20] {Threei} try to offer it between .40 and .50
[10:20] {Nemo} magoo, you'll knock my scales off
[10:20] {dino} alright jackie gleason
[10:24] {Threei} everyone's OK on Qs?
[10:24] {Geo} stopped second
[10:24] {Threei} yup
[10:24] {Threei} scapers win
[10:24] {hawkfan4} yep, took scalp thx
[10:24] {Geo} i took 2/3 on 1:1 as wasnt sure
[10:25] {Threei} can't blame you
[10:26] {Geo} wanted to keep a little to learn to hold
[10:26] {Threei} instead learned how to take a tightened stop on partial
[10:26] {Threei} lesson too :)
[10:26] {Geo} good one
[10:26] {Threei} this is just a paret of trade management
[10:26] {Geo} yup
[10:27] {Threei} routine procedure as stock moves in your favor
[10:27] {lisa_jay} Looks like going to test lows.
[10:27] {Threei} 1;1, sell part (unless scalp intended),
[10:27] {Threei} trail stop to undeer breakeven
[10:27] {Geo} 17 cents TY vad
[10:27] {Threei} 1:2, sell 1/4 more, trail stop to under 1:1
[10:27] {Threei} then either take full out on the next spike
[10:28] {Threei} or stop taking profits and simply trail your stop under each next taken resistance
[10:28] {Threei} letting stock stop you out when it reverses
[10:28] {_Bruce} klac short on 18 break
[10:29] {Threei} if stays below .15 - .20 zone, bruce?
[10:29] {Geo} chrsler cutting 25% of white collars
[10:29] {_Bruce} agreed vad
[10:30] {lisa_jay} Thanks Vad, now i don't have to read the book.
[10:30] {Geo} lol
[10:30] {magoo} vad..may i add
[10:31] {magoo} i truly believe u must layout offers at exit points...be first out
[10:31] {Threei} of course lisa... I didn't :)
[10:31] {Threei} especially on volatile stocks, yes, mags
[10:31] {magoo} i just laid goog out 339.21
[10:31] {Threei} but be ready to hit the bid if stock comes into your selling point and stalls
[10:31] {Nemo} don't forget baidu
[10:31] {magoo} neversaw it but got fill and it fell 2 points
[10:32] {Threei} nothing's worse as missing your sale by couple cents pnly to see stock reversing and your profit evaporating
[10:32] {Geo} yes there is
[10:32] {Geo} ho about going neg and me hoping and praying
[10:32] {Geo} used to do that a lot
[10:33] {Geo} now hard stops like dino saves me the angst
[10:34] {Threei} first emotions calmed down
[10:34] {magoo} he still dishes out alot ALOT of angdst
[10:34] {Threei} market narrowed a bit
[10:34] {dino} out ice .45, +1.20
06[10:34] * Geo slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[10:35] {Threei} dino the money machine
[10:35] {Geo} me dishes out a trout
[10:35] {Threei} wtg'
[10:35] {Geo} ncie dino
[10:35] {dino} ty
[10:35] {magoo} wtg on trout?
[10:35] {dino} went another .80
[10:35] {Geo} ice has become dino's atm
[10:35] {Threei} my working assumption here is beginning of a slow climb
[10:35] {dino} its the vodka theory
[10:36] {dino} use ice w/vodka and it taste better
[10:36] {magoo} well alrighty then.....im in thaty theorty
[10:36] {Threei} NQ holding above 1180 and breaking 1190 would be a first confirmation
[10:36] {Threei} in Q terms, holding above 29 and breaking 29.30
[10:37] {Threei} pullback entries are still better than breaks
[10:37] {Threei} so, the way to play it safe would be:
[10:37] {Threei} get Qs as close to 29 as possible,
[10:37] {Threei} keep tight stop,
[10:37] {Threei} aim to sell half closer to 29.30
[10:37] {Threei} hold the balance for break and climb
[10:37] {Threei} may take a few tries
[10:38] {Threei} so don't do it unless you are willing to take a few tight stops in the process
[10:39] {_Bruce} s klac 18.13 w 9c stop
[10:40] {Threei} in .07
[10:40] {Threei} stop about 28.95
[10:41] {dino} mkl holding
[10:41] {_Bruce} stopped klac
06[10:42] * Threei kicks the market in the rear with heavy duty steel-toed army boots
[10:42] {Threei} oops... that wasn't rear?
[10:44] {Threei} 1:1 here for scalpers
[10:44] {Threei} keeping my plan though
[10:44] {Threei} offering half .27
[10:45] {Threei} hit
[10:45] {Threei} let's break that .30 now, shall we?
[10:46] {Threei} anyone joined the play?
[10:46] {Geo} me
[10:46] {hawkfan4} i'm in too
[10:46] {Geo} half out at .2 got 15 cents
[10:46] {Threei} okay
[10:46] {Threei} let's see if second part pans out
[10:46] {lisa_jay} Sorry, i am just with popcorn today.
[10:47] {Threei} chicken wings?
[10:47] {Threei} anyone of guests went for it?
[10:47] {Threei} laid out plan well in advance
[10:48] {Threei} come on guys, maake your stay with us worthwhile
[10:48] {Chaeron} Good morning all
[10:48] {Threei} chaeron :)
[10:49] {magoo} chaerbroil:)
[10:49] {Geo} hey chaeron
[10:49] {dino} slap them all 3i, slap them all
[10:49] {Threei} hmmm
[10:49] {Geo} the Q is
[10:49] {Chaeron} hey mags, Geo
[10:49] {Geo} are they even here?
[10:50] {Threei} my idea of hospitality must be outdated, lol
[10:50] {Threei} grow a set market, will ya?
[10:50] {Threei} time to break
[10:50] {Nemo} Vad: Q climbing a bit, but volume dropping...not good? Seems other stocks doing same.
[10:51] {Threei} broke
[10:51] {_coyote} In 29.25 Q's
[10:51] {Threei} you know, volume at this point is not very indicative for a simple reason:
[10:51] {Threei} opening was panicky one
[10:51] {Threei} adding a lot of unusual volume
[10:51] {Nemo} thanks
[10:52] {Threei} so hard to find the base for comparison
[10:52] {Threei} ok guys, make up your mind here
[10:52] {Threei} full out or 1/4
[10:52] {_coyote} out 29.38 in full small lot. Thank you sir.
[10:52] {Geo} all out at 40
[10:52] {Geo} 35 cents TY
[10:52] {Threei} good job coyote
[10:53] {Threei} for 12 cents initial stop we have solid 35 or so gain
[10:53] {Threei} 1:3
[10:53] {Threei} my original idea of this trade was slow steady climb
[10:53] {Threei} and so far it's getting confirmed
[10:53] {Threei} so, to me, it's 1/4 out
[10:53] {Threei} and trailing last portion
[10:54] {Threei} letting masrket stop me out on reversal
[10:54] {Geo} you trail manuall right?
[10:54] {Threei} who tells me where to put a stop for it now?
[10:54] {Threei} yes
[10:54] {Geo} 1:1?
[10:54] {lisa_jay} Under 20
[10:54] {Threei} lisa gets the prize
[10:55] {Threei} that's where last pullback bottomed out
[10:55] {Threei} new suppoort level
[10:55] {Threei} if gets broken, uptrend is violated
[10:55] {dino} ot: coyote, you're not joe by any chance?
[10:55] {Threei} 10:50 10:51 bars formed that support on 1 min
[10:56] {Chaeron} lol
[10:56] {Geo} sigh
[10:56] {Geo} vad wins
[10:56] {_coyote} no coyote bob
[10:56] {magoo} c'mon mkt go go goooooooooooo
[10:56] {dino} ok, buddy of mine goes by that name
[10:57] {hawkfan4} i was thinking Wiley
[10:57] {_coyote} would be a friend of mine also dino
[10:57] {Geo} i was thinking ugly
[10:57] {hawkfan4} lol
[10:57] {_coyote} that too geo
[10:58] {Nemo} That's Wile E.
[10:58] {Geo} nice memories of vegas ummmmmm
[10:58] {hawkfan4} ah, thx Nemo :)
[10:58] {_coyote} indian slots for me
[10:59] {Nemo} Yeah, he was like Clouseau's boss to the roadrunner
[10:59] {dino} indeed he would, crazy one
[11:00] {_coyote} coyote joe's can be dino
[11:00] {lisa_jay} Vad, would you move stops to under 28 now?
[11:00] {Threei} track the logic further as we progress: latest pullback bottomed out at .30 -.32
[11:00] {Threei} so new breakout, and yes, stop is trailed under that level
[11:00] {Threei} .50 taken, stop is trailed
[11:01] {Threei} at any of these breaks, you face a decision, to take profit or continue trailing
[11:01] {Geo} classic vad
[11:01] {Threei} pretty much personal preference,
[11:01] {lisa_jay} If it was a breakout pull back trade, would you have bought at .31?
[11:01] {Threei} I'd say good compromise is this:
[11:01] {magoo} gonna get slapped...but feels green
[11:01] {Threei} continue trailing if it takes resistance and climbs slowly again,
[11:02] {Threei} and take it if breakout leades to insanely sharp spike
[11:02] {Threei} yes lisa
[11:02] {Threei} not going to get slapped magoo
[11:03] {Threei} not that you don't deserve it... just that you enjoy it and I decided to withold it
[11:03] {dino} fcx sm l .80, clf sm l .30
[11:06] {Threei} need break of .60 now to trail stop further
[11:06] {Threei} last pullback bottomed at just under .40
[11:07] {Threei} so that's where stop is going to be moved to if/when .60 is broken
[11:08] {Threei} one more way to trail it: if Qs go over .50 from here, .40 can be considered mini - double bottom
[11:08] {Threei} and stop can be moved without waiting for .60 to be broken
[11:08] {Threei} for now it's still under .30
[11:09] {Threei} any questions guys?
[11:09] {Nemo} sfsg
[11:09] {Threei} this trade is so textbook, make sure you understand all the elements of it
[11:09] {Geo} classic
[11:10] {Nemo} like a fine wine
[11:10] {Threei} my scanner appears to be broken today again... don't see any new 52 week high alerts
[11:12] {Nemo} yeah, just ran that filter "returns no requests" lol
[11:12] {Threei} :)
[11:12] {Threei} been this way for three weeks already
[11:12] {Threei} why don't programmers fix it.. I already complained
[11:12] {Nemo} just ra 52 week lows-crashed my computer
[11:12] {Threei} OK Qs
[11:13] {Threei} holding or stopping me out?
[11:13] {Threei} stopping
[11:13] {Threei} out last part
[11:13] {hawkfan4} nice trade vad
[11:13] {Threei} .27, , .42 and .28
[11:14] {Threei} ty
[11:14] {dino} gj
[11:15] {_Bruce} s msft 22.19 10 c stop
[11:15] {Threei} things lost clarity here a bit
[11:16] {Threei} gotta wait out until something shapes up again
[11:17] {Threei} I find it hard to believe emotions won;'t flare up again sometime today
[11:17] {Threei} they simply must
[11:17] {Threei} IMF: LIQUIDITY ACTION PLANS ARE ORIGINATING FROM SOME LATIN AMERICAN DIRECTORS ON THE BOARD
[11:17] {Threei} - plan still under discussion, yet to be finalized
06[11:17] * _Bruce slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[11:17] {Nemo} Friday towards end of day should be a fire drill. Then again, that means it won't. Was I vacillating enough on tht
[11:18] {_Bruce} sorry mags - emotional outburst there
[11:18] {Threei} we had similar situation two weeks ago I think nemo
[11:18] {Threei} or three
[11:18] {magoo} :)
[11:18] {Threei} whole week it was hard selling closer to eodn,
[11:18] {Nemo} you mean every friday
[11:18] {Threei} eod
[11:18] {Nemo} or is that DOA?
[11:18] {Threei} then on Fri I said won't happen today,
[11:18] {Threei} became too easy for shorts,
[11:19] {Threei} and the notion that no one wants to be long into weekend was too obvious
[11:19] {Threei} what do you know
[11:19] {Nemo} UYG gently rolling over
[11:19] {Threei} rally into end of day
06[11:19] * dino slaps _Bruce around a bit with a large trout
[11:19] {Threei} killing those who decided they figured it out once and for all
[11:19] {dino} burn 'em all ike
[11:20] {Threei} that's how market operates... lulling you into compacency, then reversing course of action when you least expect it
[11:20] {_Bruce} ouch
[11:20] {dino} out clf .70, +.40
[11:20] {_Bruce} feeding trout to vads cat
[11:20] {Threei} spike out of nowhere
[11:21] {Nemo} my piscine sensitivities, please!!!
[11:21] {magoo} was one other factor vad
[11:21] {Threei} don't see any news for it
[11:21] {Threei} remind me mags
[11:21] {Nemo} uyg just bolted
[11:21] {magoo} that was when they were trying to get that bill passed over weekend
[11:21] {dino} out fcx .65, +.85
[11:21] {_coyote} in 29.61 Q's
[11:21] {dino} are we having fun yet?
[11:21] {Threei} no, that was after bill passed
[11:22] {Threei} OK, how's tht for a meanigful headline:
[11:22] {Threei} (US) TREASURY AIDE SAYS TREASURY SEC PAULSON IS CONTINUING TO WATCH MARKETS
[11:22] {dino} hawk you catch any of those?
[11:22] {dino} over daily
[11:23] {Threei} too bad this spike didn't occur while were still in QQQQ
[11:23] {_coyote} out in full small lot 29.74, 1:1 scalp. Thank you sir.
[11:23] {hawkfan4} not yours dino, but having a good one
[11:23] {Threei} I would be dumping into such sharp one
[11:23] {dino} you shall get another try, patience 3i
[11:23] {Geo} lol
[11:23] {Threei} good job coyote
[11:23] {dino} glad to hear hawk

[11:24] {_coyote} Thank you sir!
[11:24] {Threei} but worked out nicely
[11:24] {Threei} the reason I personally skip this kind of entries:
[11:24] {Threei} ewhile .61 was formally a breakout level,
[11:25] {Threei} Qs spiked vertically into this resistance
[11:25] {magoo} just want to say to guests...histioric mkt last 2 days...how many trading rooms make u SAFE $$ in that environment?
[11:25] {magoo} SAFE key
[11:25] {magoo} i 3 times my daily here

[12:25] {dino} 3:30 standard schedule 3i. you trying to get me in trouble
[12:25] {Threei} not a perfect one Muddle
[12:25] {Threei} a few things about it
[12:25] {Threei} first, I like JBE to form at the day's high
[12:25] {Threei} not that I ignore others, but day high ones are more effective
[12:26] {Threei} second, in this case, it was .75 break for JBE to trigger,
[12:26] {Threei} but the low of the consolidation range was .68
[12:26] {Threei} and it got broke
[12:26] {Threei} brken
[12:26] {Threei} broken
[12:27] {Threei} there, got it on a third try
[12:27] {Threei} and finally, it's just too narrow
[12:27] {Nemo} put the vodka down before you type, doh!!!
[12:27] {Threei} it breaks .75, next resistance is right there ar .80
[12:27] {_Muddleheaded} O.K. thanks.
[12:27] {Threei} you kidding Nemo? how am I supposed to type then at all?

[13:05] {Threei} support is 6.50 coyote... I'd kepp stop under it
[13:05] {Threei} until it's not broken, trade is not stopped
[13:05] {Threei} ummm... you'd have to translate that to English... but I guess you got the meaning :)
[13:06] {Threei} now it's stopped
[13:06] {Nemo} it's vadinglish
[13:06] {Threei} also known as pidgin

[13:16] {Threei} I wish we got that panic selloff today and be done with it
[13:17] {Geo} looks like down a bit
[13:17] {peterg} and lose the possibility of more pain for longer time?
[13:17] {_Bruce} want to see panic?
[13:17] {Threei} there is no feel of panic to today at all
[13:17] {Threei} lol peter
[13:17] {_Bruce} tell mags abouyt the big wins he missed
[13:17] {Threei} hehe
06[13:18] * magoo slaps _Bruce around a bit with a large trout

[13:18] {peterg} Magoo;s bellweathers are up, aapl & rimm
[13:19] {dino} up?
[13:19] {Threei} pace picks up
[13:19] {peterg} from open
[13:20] {peterg} yeah lights flash faster, time & sales zoom
[13:20] {_coyote} Vad, short this rally in uaua?
[13:20] {Threei} not clear where
[13:20] {Threei} need some indication other than just 20 cents move
[13:21] {_coyote} 12.60
[13:21] {Threei} why not .70 or .80?
[13:21] {Threei} I mean, it could very well top out here,
[13:21] {Threei} but what is there to indicate that?
[13:21] {_coyote} OK ..thanks.. got your point.
[13:22] {Threei} I am not a fun of arbitrary entries
[13:22] {peterg} or a fan
[13:22] {Threei} or that
[13:22] {peterg} they can be fun
[13:22] {Threei} no structure to setup, no clean indication where to place stop
[13:22] {peterg} but lead to..................
[13:22] {peterg} splat
[13:23] {_coyote} learning..learning thank you
[13:23] {dino} ice sm l wide risky .50
[13:23] {peterg} thats why I joined this club, cz I was going to self-destruct without some structure
[13:23] {_coyote} that is it in a nutshell peterg
[13:23] {peterg} yep!
[13:23] {Threei} now look at its further action:
[13:24] {Threei} it tagged .60 twice,
[13:24] {Threei} effectively for ming mini double top
[13:24] {Threei} little consolidation to define breakdown level
[13:24] {_coyote} OK i'm following you...
[13:24] {Threei} and break of that level will become a shiort trigger with clear stop level above .60
[13:25] {Threei} this is in a nutshell my approach - let the stock to form a readable structured setup
[13:25] {Threei} offering you clear trigger and clear stop
[13:26] {_coyote} would that mean sell around 12.53 trigger?
[13:26] {Threei} no clean nice consolidation so far
[13:26] {Threei} can't tell
[13:27] {_coyote} OK got it.. thanks Vad..lots to learn here.
[13:28] {lisa_jay} Coyote, I am new too. Just got Vads cds and books.
[13:29] {Threei} you remind me lisa... I need to read that too
[13:29] {lisa_jay} Looking forward to digging into them over the weekend...if kids let me.
[13:29] {_coyote} Great lisa..we can lear together..i have books/course also.
[13:29] {Threei} wasn't there a babysitter packed in the box??
[13:29] {lisa_jay} You can borrow mine...if you don't mind pink stains from markers on them.
[13:29] {Threei} you may have gotten incomplete package...
[13:29] {lisa_jay} Ran away once he saw my kids.

[13:30] {Threei} .49 short Qs
[13:30] {_coyote} We learn together also
[13:30] {Threei} if stays below .65
[13:31] {Threei} just a scalp most likely
[13:31] {lisa_jay} Oh, scalping course, and Master Profit Plan.
[13:32] {Threei} stop to above .60
[13:32] {laserdave1} Hey guys i checked into UAUA
[13:32] {laserdave1} it is just hard to borrow today
[13:32] {Threei} OK, so just incorrect message code
[13:32] {laserdave1} it is not per sec
[13:33] {Threei} thought so, ty dave
[13:33] {laserdave1} yes hopefully we can shot it tomorrow
[13:33] {laserdave1} nprobs
[13:33] {_coyote} in q's at 29.50
[13:33] {Threei} careful with advise to shoot it dave
[13:33] {laserdave1} haha
[13:33] {Chaeron} short QQQQ @ 29.47 here
[13:34] {Threei} you can get in troubles
[13:35] {Threei} bands are widening under Qs, should drop more
[13:35] {_coyote} ok risking 15 cents to 29.65
[13:35] {Threei} I'd trail it to above .60 here
[13:36] {Threei} want to keep it tight in jerky market,. even at risk of being shaken out
[13:36] {Threei} if small lot, keep it at original level
[13:37] {Threei} volume dropped significantly on bounce, bodes well so far
[13:38] {Threei} volume increase on drtop
[13:39] {Threei} so far so good
[13:39] {Threei} 1:1
[13:39] {Geo} half out .35
[13:39] {Threei} nice and easy
[13:39] {Threei} stop is never geopardized, easy money
[13:39] {Threei} that's how we like it
[13:40] {lisa_jay} 4 for 4 today Vad...very easy trades. Too bad I decided to eat chicken wings and not trade.
[13:40] {Threei} Geopardized??
[13:40] {_coyote} out 29.35 in full 1:1.5 i think Thank you Vad
[13:40] {Threei} sigh
[13:40] {Threei} welcome guys
[13:40] {Geo} GEOpardise
[13:40] {Chaeron} I wasn't going to say anything
[13:40] {Threei} that's Geo's influence
[13:40] {Geo} see chaeron i told ya word revolves arounfd me
[13:41] {Threei} (as if I need anyone's influence to type badly)
[13:41] {Geo} crap
[13:41] {dino} chicken wings, nice
[13:42] {Threei} one thing is for sure guys... whatever it is you may learn from me it's NOT the typing/spelling skills
[13:42] {_coyote} actually 1:1 on Q's trade
[13:42] {Threei} yes coyote
[13:44] {_Muddleheaded} Why short the Q's and not buy QID?
[13:45] {Threei} same thing Muddle, I just don't always have a chance to type both
[13:45] {Geo} or NQ
[13:45] {_Muddleheaded} O.K. thanks.
[13:45] {Threei} if you prefer QID, understanding of setup I mean to play will give you corresponding levels on QID
[13:46] {Geo} too some at 1:1.5
[13:46] {lisa_jay} QID has wider stops and teleports
[13:47] {Threei} yes, more volatility to it
[13:47] {Geo} heheheh i find it tougher to calculate 1:1 etc in shorts
[13:48] {Geo} subtraction is tough
[13:48] {Threei} sorry geo, I sent to magoo all devices I had to help with that
[13:48] {Threei} calculator, abakus and sliding ruler
[13:49] {Geo} 1:2 ?
[13:49] {Threei} 50 - 30 = 20
[13:49] {Chaeron} in QQQQ s @ 29.47 - out @ 29.20 + 0.27
[13:50] {laserdave1} mags
[13:50] {laserdave1} dcc please
[13:50] {Threei} hope it helps
[13:50] {Threei} wtg chaeron
[13:50] {dino} gj
[13:50] {Threei} or let me spell it out this way:
[13:50] {Geo} in .59 out .18
[13:50] {Threei} 50 - 15x2 = 20
[13:50] {Geo} .49 sorry
[13:51] {Geo} much better vad
[13:51] {Threei} where 15 is original stop size, 50 is trigger
[13:51] {_coyote} Much better to post entry on entry not 10 min later that way magoo

[13:52] {_coyote} won't say it's funny
[13:52] {Threei} but after magoo had troubles figuring out how many years he traded since 1999... I just had to send him all that stuff
[13:53] {Threei} now... imagine us mathematically challenged types trading with fractions {grin}
[13:53] {_coyote} Your right Vad..I am done with that guy.
[13:53] {Geo} ?
[13:53] {Threei} what guy?

[14:15] {Threei} well... at least I laugh at them
[14:19] {_coyote} Vad, I have question..do you subscribe to any news services and if so

[14:24] {Threei} lol, even FDRY slowed to a crawl
[14:24] {Threei} you still in dino?
[14:24] {Threei} or is it halted?
[14:24] {Threei} looks weird somewhat
[14:26] {dino} double stop on it, things broke
[14:27] {Threei} hmmm... something seems not right with my internet connection
04[14:27] -} [Threei] PING
[14:28] {Threei} [14:28] [Threei PING reply]: 22secs
[14:28] {Threei} yikes
[14:28] {Geo} wow
[14:28] {Geo} 0 here
[14:29] {Threei} that's why my FDRY seemed so slow I guess, lol
[14:34] {dino} heck of a bounce
[14:35] {Geo} DXD
[14:36] {dino} y
[14:37] {Threei} trying to reset router, be right back - hopefully
[14:41] {Threei} that's better
[14:42] {Threei} missed Qs .50 long I see
[14:44] {Threei} am I here?
[14:44] {Geo} y
04[14:44] -} [Threei] PING
[14:44] {Threei} whew
[14:44] {Geo} but since yo missed .5
[14:44] {Geo} we are ignoring u
[14:44] {Threei} oh, that's fine
[14:45] {Threei} I am quite comfortable with being ignored
[14:45] {Threei} PIMCO'S BILL GROSS: EXPECTS RECESSION TO BE 'LIKELY'
[14:46] {Geo} those germans !
[14:46] {Threei} sure, send market to selloff mode again Gross
[14:47] {Threei} watching NFLX for possible short
[14:47] {_coyote} OK if you would have taken the Q trade at .5 , Vad where would stop placement been?
[14:47] {Threei} 19 trigger if stays under 19.15, half lot
[14:47] {Threei} under .40 at the moment, coyote
[14:48] {_coyote} Thank you sir
[14:48] {Threei} sure
[14:48] {Threei} there were two plays actually,
[14:48] {Threei} one is breakout of .50,
[14:49] {Threei} second is pullback into it, but important thing is:
[14:49] {Threei} second pullback I wouldn't buy
[14:49] {Threei} too many retests of support, not good
[14:49] {Threei} more than that, this bounce into .50 is actually short
[14:50] {Threei} ugh, a bit late
[14:50] {Threei} no chasing
[14:50] {_coyote} OK ....learning another lesson..alright i see that
[14:50] {Threei} NFLX held .20 test
[14:51] {Threei} and same way, second bounce into .50 if happens is not a short anymore
[14:51] {Threei} here it is
[14:52] {_coyote} Why second bounce is not a short?
[14:52] {Threei} break of support is a short trigger,
[14:52] {Threei} bounce into support is a short,
[14:52] {Threei} former support I mean, now resistance,
[14:52] {_coyote} Got it! Thank you.
[14:53] {Threei} but second bounce and tagging it is not good anymore,
[14:53] {Threei} too much strength
[14:53] {Threei} same loging as earlier with long off it
[14:53] {Threei} see how it went to .60?
[14:53] {Geo} nflx looking strong vad
[14:53] {_coyote} Yes.
[14:53] {Threei} bumping iinto resistance
[14:53] {Threei} NFLX I mean
[14:54] {Threei} if breaks it, invalidated as short
[14:54] {Geo} sp by your logic no shorting pullback here but wait for breakdown
[14:54] {Threei} [14:53] {Threei} same loging {--- that was supposed to be "same logic"
[14:54] {Threei} on NFLX?
[14:54] {Geo} yeah
[14:55] {Threei} oh, you can try and enter aggressively on first bounce,
[14:55] {Threei} less likely to work on second
06[14:55] * Geo is in PP mode
[14:55] {Threei} andfthis was second
[14:55] {dino} pp mode? bathroom
[14:55] {Threei} lol
[14:56] {_coyote} I am following this..what a load to learn Vad
[14:56] {Geo} man dino
[14:56] {Geo} ohhh man
[14:56] {Threei} it's not very complicated coyote...
[14:56] {Threei} certainly not a rocket science
[14:56] {Geo} ProfitProtection
[14:56] {Threei} but to confuse you a bit more for now,
[14:56] {dino} ahhh, good deal. when up get stingy
[14:56] {_coyote} I just don't want to get laughed at
[14:56] {Threei} this second retest and break is two things in one:
[14:56] {_coyote} lol
[14:57] {dino} fdry now works
[14:57] {Threei} first is invalidation of the original setup,
[14:57] {Threei} and second is fading of the opriginal setup
[14:57] {Threei} meaning, going against it
[14:57] {Threei} in Qs case that would be long on .50 break
[14:57] {Threei} in NFLX case that would be long on .20 break
[14:58] {dino} rally
[14:58] {Geo} ncie vad
[14:58] {Threei} logic is simple: if setup is violated, opposite side took opver
[14:58] {Threei} everyu setup can be played in different ways
[14:58] {Threei} envision JBE
[14:58] {Threei} break of uppoer limit is long, right?
[14:59] {Threei} break of lower limit is invalidating the JBE
[14:59] {Threei} and can serve also as a short indication
[14:59] {Threei} Chaeron often plays this fade of my setups if they get invalidated
[14:59] {Geo} sneaky !!
[14:59] {Geo} didnt know that
[14:59] {Threei} that's him
[14:59] {Threei} sneaky is his middle name
[14:59] {Chaeron} well....... true.,....
[15:00] {Threei} break of .20 on NFLX would work
[15:00] {_coyote} Alright that is a new play with Chaeron..
[15:00] {Threei} and break of .50 on Qs would work beautifully
[15:00] {Threei} although in all fairness, there is no way I would have held it that long
[15:00] {magoo} back
[15:00] {magoo} we in anything vad?
[15:00] {Threei} would havce scalped like 30 cents ago, lo;l
[15:01] {Chaeron} it's logical... I mean if it isn't going to work one way, it's because that set up is going to fail. So be fast and open to shifting to other side...
[15:01] {_coyote} Following you on that
[15:01] {Chaeron} and I normally only look for a scalp on those
[15:01] {Threei} wow, NFLX 30 cents
[15:01] {_coyote} Would that be 1:1 Chaeron
[15:02] {Chaeron} yes
[15:02] {_coyote} Thanks
[15:02] {Geo} do you play QLD vad?
[15:02] {Threei} I don't go into these things on each given trade, too much to type,
[15:02] {Threei} but if you read TTR, you saw all these variations
[15:02] {Chaeron} you will get feel... all is then reflex and instinctual, not thought about
[15:02] {Threei} no Geo
[15:02] {Threei} nice mover though
[15:03] {_coyote} Will take awhile from the book to real time for me
[15:04] {Chaeron} not long... trust me... the whole thing about this room is that Vad can show you how to not only do but evolve as the markets evolve. That's what keeps a trader around and in the black consistantly over the long term
[15:05] {dino} out ice 59.70, +1.20
[15:05] {Geo} yeah
[15:05] {_coyote} Thats good new on both counts
[15:05] {Geo} lets hope he doesnt retire to alaska or something
[15:05] {Chaeron} by that time, you'll be able to run this room geo
[15:05] {Threei} alaska?
[15:05] {Threei} too cold
[15:05] {Geo} well you did visit !
[15:05] {Chaeron} heard you liked Sarah Palin :)
[15:06] {Geo} well with her new bling who wouldnt
[15:06] {Threei} don't confuse tourism for immigration, as old joke goes :})
[15:06] {dino} sarah could be hot
[15:06] {Geo} tell that in LA
[15:06] {Geo} "could" dino?
[15:07] {Threei} watching Qs for bounce
[15:07] {dino} they need to let her dress it now, throw on some contacts, you know
[15:07] {Threei} 28.80 roughly
[15:07] {_coyote} It seems as though if you subscriber you need to post entry and exit times but if
[15:07] {Geo} missed ;(
[15:08] {_coyote} your a guest you up to something funny if you don't
[15:08] {Threei} nah coyote
[15:08] {Threei} it's a oersonal choice
[15:08] {Threei} we have members who speak once a year if that
[15:08] {dino} keeps me tight w/stops coyote
[15:09] {Threei} some want verification,
[15:09] {Threei} some use it as a way of self control,
[15:09] {_coyote} OK i'll buy that
[15:09] {Threei} feeling of bweing watched makes you disciplined
[15:09] {dino} i am the 2nd group
[15:09] {Threei} some just brag
06[15:09] * Threei is looking around waiting for someone to volunteer
06[15:10] * Geo heh
[15:10] {_coyote} OK clear on that
[15:10] {Threei} and some simply trade and never talk to me
[15:10] {magoo} geo's bad
[15:10] {Threei} maybe they hate me, I don't know :)
06[15:10] * Geo daily is 10$ so i make 10X daily

[15:51] {_Case} Thank you Vad. It's been a very educational two days. In the worst market conditions of the century.

[15:52] {Threei} good to hear you liked it Case
[15:53] {Threei} I believe we handled it well
[15:53] {Threei} safe and profitable
[15:53] {_Case} Honestly, I think this is the only way to navigate these markets.

[15:54] {_Case} Plus it does wonders for your psyche

[15:55] {_Case} Indeed. But being that fast (or being that fast when you need to) is the only defense against overnight games played by the big boys
