[08:54] {Onix} gOOD MORNING ALL
[08:55] {Onix} sorry for the caps,it is not that good!
[08:55] {cosmo} good for a buggy whip rebound maybe?
[08:56] {Onix} yes, that could easily happen
[08:59] {cosmo} EXEL
[08:59] {cosmo} 4.65 pr mkt high
[08:59] {Threei}  onix, cosmo, ese :)
[08:59] {cosmo} 3i:)
[09:00] {KSystems} Good morning :)
[09:00] {Threei}  ks :)
[09:00] {Onix} hi ks
[09:02] {peterg} all; saw tv say market tanks after bailout denied. doesnt look so badf
[09:02] {cosmo} DRYS pr mkt high = 7.86  fwiw
[09:02] {cosmo} should hold 7.50  ...?
[09:06] {dino} gm all, end of days again
[09:06] {Threei}  dino :)
[09:06] {Onix} hi dino
[09:08] {peterg} i mean good morning all
[09:08] {Threei}  peter :)
[09:08] {Threei}  market is climbing back
[09:09] {Threei}  waiting for plan B as in TARP funds to automakers?
[09:09] {Geo} good morning
[09:09] {Threei}  geo
[09:09] {Onix} hi peter
[09:09] {Threei}  lol, there you go
[09:09] {Threei}  WHITE HOUSE AIDE: PRESIDENT BUSH WOULD CONSIDER USING TARP FUNDS TO HELP AUTOMAKER
[09:09] {Threei}  - Letting the automakers fail would be irresponsible.{F GM}
[09:12] {dino} this auto game reminds me of tarp game. need 6 votes to get it, do damage, drag it out for political shining, then vote it through
[09:12] {cosmo} no auto maker left behind...
[09:12] {Onix} you can read their minds already Vad?
[09:13] {Threei}  thought yesterday when they rekected a loan that would be a theme today, Onix
[09:13] {Threei}  I find it hard ti imagine they would let them fail now
[09:13] {Threei}  last thing Bush wants is to have this last stain
[09:13] {Onix} true .. just stalling like dino says
[09:13] {Threei}  he will prefer to postpone this decision and leave it to next prez
[09:14] {Threei}  so in this or that form, it will go throuhg
[09:14] {Threei}  and dino's analogy is dead on
[09:14] {dino} remember sept votes, 6 or so off. repeating imo
[09:15] {Threei}  I intend to be very conservative and risk-averse today guys
[09:15] {dptl} good morning all
[09:15] {Threei}  dp :)
[09:15] {Onix} hi dp
[09:15] {dptl} :)
[09:16] {Threei}  one reason is obvious, jerky market in highly fluid situation with constant news barrage
[09:16] {Threei}  another is...
[09:16] {Threei}  I've run incredibly long streak of winning days, can't even remember last losing one
[09:16] {Threei}  I think more than month ago
[09:16] {ese} morning
[09:16] {Threei}  there are odds
[09:17] {Onix} hi ese
[09:17] {Threei}  and I have to account them in
[09:17] {ese} hey onix
[09:17] {Threei}  whe inevitable losing day comes, I want damage to be minimal
[09:17] {dino} i understand vad
[09:17] {Threei}  the worst thing you can do in this situation is to decide that it's your genius in works,
[09:18] {Threei}  and you are immune to losses
[09:18] {wishbone} gm all
[09:18] {Threei}  wishbone :)
[09:18] {Onix} hi wishbone
[09:18] {Threei}  healthy dose of humbliness is necessary
[09:19] {Onix} otherwise the market WILL do it to you?
[09:19] {Threei}  and being humble is not really my character trait... so gotta deliberately restrain myself :)
[09:19] {Threei}  exactly onix
[09:19] {Threei}  doeas it sound familar:
[09:20] {Threei}  you win, win, win, having great streak,
[09:20] {Threei}  then one day comes
[09:20] {Threei}  that eats absolutely disproportional portion of your winnings
[09:20] {Onix} way too familiar
[09:20] {Threei}  there
[09:20] {Threei}  this is ego at work
[09:20] {lisa_jay} Hello everyone
[09:21] {Threei}  lisa :)
[09:21] {Onix} hi lisa
[09:21] {Threei}  you decided subconsiously it's not odds, it's not your system,
[09:21] {Threei}  it's YOU
[09:21] {Threei}  great and terrbile, invincible
[09:21] {Threei}  rules don't apply to you
[09:21] {Threei}  you will win anyway
[09:21] {Onix} ha-ha-ha
[09:21] {Threei}  following rules or breaking them, you are above the rules
[09:22] {Threei}  well... smackdown comes inevitable, and hard smakdown it will be
[09:22] {dino} been there
[09:22] {Threei}  yeah... ask me how I know :)
[09:22] {Onix} structure & discipline or i go under
[09:22] {peterg} just when I wuz gonna increase my share size to 2000
[09:23] {peterg} kidding
[09:23] {peterg} whom the gods would destroy, first they make proud
[09:23] {Threei}  very true
[09:23] {Threei}  http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2007/09/costly-hiccups-do-you-have-any.html
[09:25] {Threei}  there is time for everything... sure, push harder when you are hot, but remember to start slowing down at some point
[09:25] {Threei}  and let natural cycles work their magic

[10:06] {Threei}  guy talks about the negotiations as if it were poker
[10:06] {Threei}  they tried to guess who bluffed, who had really strong hand
[10:06] {lisa_jay} he does look a little scared though
[10:07] {Geo} what i am amazed at is they are basically not willing to compete
[10:08] {dino} the unions much give or the workers will be out of work, imo
[10:08] {Geo} yup
[10:09] {Geo} looks like its blindingly obvious to everyone except them
[10:09] {Threei}  I guess they just play this high stakes game
[10:09] {ese} look at AMLN.......all I can say is "ALCHOHOL WORKS" !!!!
[10:10] {Threei}  counting on current powers to provide something to sustain them till Obama takes over,
[10:10] {Threei}  then having different regime and climate
[10:10] {Threei}  DRYS pulled back into support

[12:47] {Threei}  deals with exactly this
[12:48] {KSystems} I may have misinterpreted the situation with "dont lower your stop just because it may be triggered"
[12:48] {KSystems} and accepted it
[12:49] {Threei}  okay, let's make this distinction, lest I give an impression I advocate ignoring or discretionary widening the stops
[12:50] {Threei}  last thing you want to do is to move your stop lower simply because you don't want to take a loss
[12:50] {Threei}  what I mean here is the following
[12:50] {Threei}  Now and then you run stats on your trades as discussed in MPP
[12:50] {Threei}  to see if there is a certain pattern
[12:50] {Threei}  repeating itself over and over
[12:51] {Threei}  and taking you our ot trades too soon or too late.
[12:51] {lisa_jay} I think this is why you prefer to use manual stops vs. putting in system.
[12:51] {Threei}  Overtightened stops will for example be obvious if you see that on too many of your trades stock reversed very close to your stop point,
[12:51] {Threei}  just enough to shake you out.
[12:52] {Threei}  You will put your entries and exits on the chart
[12:52] {Threei}  and see what happened after your exit.
[12:52] {Threei}  If most of them did just that - you know your stops are too tight.
[12:52] {Threei}  You run very simple stats thaty show you how your result would look had ttou move a stop a few cents lower
[12:53] {Threei}  You see your profit increasing - you got your answer.
[12:53] {Threei}  This pattern of stocks diving 1-2 cents under your trailed stop and reversing immediately - I saw it way too often,
[12:53] {wishbone} can u print graphs from laser?
[12:53] {Threei}  started looking at charts closer
[12:54] {Threei}  and saw that in cases when stop was touched on sharp spike down
[12:54] {Threei}  and on touch of lowed band
[12:54] {Threei}  lower
[12:54] {KSystems} =bollinger band?
[12:54] {Threei}  they bounced immediately more often than tey continued down
[12:54] {Threei}  yes
[12:54] {KSystems} ok
[12:55] {Threei}  so, I run some paper trades
[12:55] {Threei}  saw the effectiveness of correction
[12:55] {Threei}  and made it.
[12:55] {KSystems} great advise as usual, thank you
[12:55] {KSystems} I am actually on paper for the rest of the year, to sort out things like that
[12:55] {Threei}  oh, it's all in MPP...
[12:55] {KSystems} going to go live in january
06[12:55] * Threei slaps KSystems around a bit with a large Master Profit Plan
[12:55] {wishbone} Vad is this partly why you changed band to 13 and st dev to 1.7?
[12:56] {KSystems} I should read it again
[12:56] {Threei}  just found that setting works better for intraday wishbone
[12:56] {wishbone} ok ty
[12:58] {Threei}  I am about to cry here
[12:58] {Threei}  profitable day again
[12:58] {Threei}  (so far)
[12:59] {Threei}  scared to get out of the house, briicks ough to start dropping from the sky on me
[13:00] {Threei}  lisa... you promised to laugh at my next not funny joke???
[13:00] {Threei}  that ws as it!
[13:00] {magoo} ivve seen a change in your trading vad since reading MTT
[13:00] {lisa_jay} oh....well.
[13:00] {Threei}  sigh
[13:00] {magoo} mtt=magoos trading techniques
[13:00] {Threei}  magoo... sorry, lost me
[13:01] {Threei}  ah
[13:01] {Threei}  that
[13:01] {Threei}  I honestly tried to read it
[13:01] {Threei}  but come on, you could put more in there that drunkenly drawn sketches of beer bottle and naked women
[13:02] {lisa_jay} Do you have any old Russian remedies for warding off evil (jealousy) Vad.  Then just follow it step by step.
[13:03] {Threei}  jealousy of what?
[13:03] {lisa_jay} You said that you were scared to go out of house due to everyday being profitable.
[13:04] {Threei}  well... it's unnaturally long streak
[13:04] {dino} ironically, magoo's always ducking out of the way of (thrown) bricks
[13:04] {Threei}  and I start feeling sometimes that posting those days one after another I start looking like one of those gurus who claim never being wrong
[13:04] {lisa_jay} :-)
[13:04] {Threei}  but hell... record is public in a form of calls in trading logs
[13:05] {Threei}  and yes, I do have recipe
[13:05] {Threei}  or to be exact modification
[13:05] {KSystems} We can quote that as {Threei} [...] I start feeling [...] like one of those gurus [...] never being wrong
[13:06] {Threei}  they say a cure from one woman is another... so to apply it to trading, best cure is do the same
[13:06] {dino} lol ks
[13:06] {wishbone} lol ks
[13:07] {wishbone} spin city
