 [09:34] {Threei}  doesn't want to pull back, and I don't want to chase
 [09:35] {Threei}  good boy CSIQ

 [09:38] {Threei}  out 200 more 6.90
 [09:41] {Threei} Long Setup:  DRYS  .50 break if stays above .40
[09:42] {dptl} in .50
[09:43] {magoo} in dammit lol
 [09:43] {Threei}  uh oh
 [09:43] {Threei}  magoo is kiss of death for DRYS
[09:43] {ese} morning L DRYS .54 3/4
 [09:43] {Threei}  ese :)
 [09:43] {Threei}  ok, over 1:1, half out
 [09:44] {Threei}  too bad it never gave us nice pullback for more juice in play but these holiday sessions I'll take whatever I can
 [09:45] {Threei}  stop is under b/e for the balance, scalpers get out and be happy
[09:45] {dino} asei, thin
[09:47] {magoo} Q read vad?
 [09:47] {Threei}  COIN
 [09:47] {Threei}  INCREASES STAFF AT WOODBRIDGE, NJ MANUFACTURING FACILITY IN PREPARATION FOR 2009 SEASON
[09:47] {magoo} out DRYS here .67
[09:47] {magoo} TY {i guess lol}
06[09:48] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large sigh of relief expressing happiness about magoo finally making money on DRYS
[09:48] {ese} out DRYS .74 +.20
[09:48] {ese} tks Vad
 [09:49] {Threei}  welcome
 [09:49] {Threei}  hig
[09:49] {lisa_jay} Nice ese
 [09:50] {Threei}  watching HIG with short idea
 [09:50] {Threei}  either .20 break wityh stop above .30
 [09:51] {Threei}  or if bounces, anywhere where it looks like topping out with top above .40
 [09:51] {Threei}  with stop that was
 [09:55] {Threei}  if DRYS makes another jump:
 [09:55] {Threei} Long Setup:  EGLE  .15 break half lot with stop under 6
[09:55] {dino} beating up esrx again
[09:58] {dino} gj es
 [09:59] {Threei}  DRYS starts looking like one of those non-stop runners if takes 11.20
[09:59] {dino} cwst
[10:01] {magoo} if IF we could get in DRYS and make a point TODAY...i would concede vad
 [10:01] {Threei}  EGLE over 1:1
[10:01] {Onix} ty Vad, i took 9c in egle
[10:01] {magoo} out .35 TY
[10:01] {dptl} out egle +.15 ty
 [10:01] {Threei}  welcome
[10:01] {dptl} stopped hig
 [10:02] {Threei}  DRYS is tough to find entry, hard breather... but works as leading indicator for EGLE
 [10:02] {Threei}  didn't HIG hit 1:1?
[10:03] {dptl} it did brifly  no fill
 [10:03] {Threei}  ok... didn't watch it at the moment
 [10:04] {Threei}  dry shippers took all the focus
[10:06] {magoo} EGLE have the power like drys vad to go a point?..not familiar with way it trades
 [10:06] {Threei}  it can be very treacherous
[10:06] {dino} sm l esrx .36, stop .99
 [10:07] {Threei}  moves nicely when it moves but can drop like stone
 [10:07] {Threei}  don't play it on its own merits
 [10:07] {Threei}  DRYS leads it
[10:07] {magoo} gotcha
[10:07] {magoo} as in ok 
 [10:08] {Threei}  DRYS itself maybe worth a try on 11 re-break if holding above .85
 [10:08] {Threei}  or .90 for hardcore scalpers
[10:10] {magoo} aapl neg here./..
 [10:12] {Threei}  11.05 will decide DRYS's fate
 [10:12] {Threei}  and if takes it, EGLE is likely to take .45
 [10:14] {Threei}  EGLE's game has changed
 [10:14] {Threei}  not a break anymore, rather bounce IF DRYS resumes
[10:15] {dino} esrx stopped
[10:16] {dptl} are you taking 11 break?
 [10:16] {Threei}  already took last time
[10:17] {magoo} vad..u in drys
 [10:17] {Threei}  ummm... how else do you read the line above?
[10:17] {magoo} man..u gotta end the year with attitude huh??
[10:17] {magoo} :)
 [10:18] {Threei}  as if I ever lost it
 [10:18] {Threei}  (or you for that matter, lol)
[10:18] {magoo} if i went to bermuda...i throw things at u in class he he
 [10:18] {Threei}  come on DRYS, take that .05 finally
 [10:18] {Threei}  bermuda?
[10:18] {dptl} in 11 .90 stop
[10:18] {ese} L  AAUK .67 1/2 lot risky
 [10:19] {Threei}  that's bahams
 [10:19] {Threei}  but, just for me to be safe, let's do it this way
[10:19] {dino} pnra 5 day
[10:19] {magoo} wheres bahhAMS?
 [10:19] {Threei}  I give seminar in Bahamas while you are going to Bermuda {G}
[10:19] {ese} lookin for 12 AAUK
06[10:20] * Threei kicks DRYS and EGLE in the rear
[10:20] {magoo} in drys too
[10:21] {dptl} out .12 ty
 [10:21] {Threei}  welcome
 [10:21] {Threei}  halved it out
 [10:21] {Threei}  something about it today that makes me want to hold some
 [10:22] {Threei}  anyone caught EGLE?
[10:22] {KSystems} yes
[10:22] {KSystems} paperly, that is
 [10:22] {Threei}  where?
[10:22] {KSystems} 6.16
 [10:23] {Threei}  no, I mean on this pullback
[10:23] {KSystems} 1 exited 1/2 at .38
[10:23] {KSystems} is that what you mean?
 [10:23] {Threei}  no, I mean according to this comment:
 [10:23] {Threei}  [10:14] {Threei} EGLE's game has changed
 [10:23] {Threei}  [10:14] {Threei} not a break anymore, rather bounce IF DRYS resumes
[10:24] {KSystems} that was a call?
 [10:24] {Threei}  it pulled back under .30
[10:24] {KSystems} no, didnt trade that :)
 [10:24] {Threei}  not a call per se
[10:24] {KSystems} sry
 [10:24] {Threei}  too discretionary
 [10:24] {Threei}  rather attempts to describe possible strategy in advance so those who get a read can catch it if it sets up
[10:24] {magoo} its more like a hint K..a wink wink
  [10:28] {Threei}  grrr
 [10:28] {Threei}  server hiccup
 [10:28] {Threei}  out 1/4 more 11.22
 [10:29] {Threei}  stop under 11 for the last part
[10:29] {patience} goldcorp has been bucking the gold trend today, steady, slow up
 [10:29] {Threei}  mags
 [10:29] {Threei}  you partial any?
 [10:30] {Threei}  ugh, he is not here
[10:32] {magoo} just got back in room here
[10:32] {magoo} out drys
[10:32] {magoo} scalp
 [10:33] {Threei}  okay
[10:33] {magoo} may reload
[10:34] {i2romantis} so, as a newbie here, let me ask, to even scalp on drys @11 you'd have to invest quite a bit to even see a reasonable return?
 [10:34] {Threei}  what's reasonable return?
[10:34] {i2romantis} I play with those below 3 to be able to do these kinds of trades
[10:34] {i2romantis} well say at least a small $300
[10:34] {dino} asei vsm, s .16, wide risky
 [10:35] {Threei}  this kind of trades is usually for 1000 shares when yoou know what you are doing
[10:35] {i2romantis} and this is a straight buy and sell, right? no options or anything else involved?
 [10:35] {Threei}  if you want $300 from each trade, that's a bit hightened expectations when it comes to scalping
 [10:36] {Threei}  no
 [10:36] {Threei}  andf don't view it as ROI
 [10:36] {Threei}  this is completely different game
[10:36] {dptl} ROI??
 [10:37] {Threei}  return on investment
[10:37] {dptl} oh...ok
[10:37] {i2romantis} honestly speaking, one of my accounts has only $7500 USD, that doesn't allow me to even go for this price range, as I am risking a lot just to go for a .2 move
 [10:37] {Threei}  with "investment" time measured in minutes, rarely hours, math is different,
 [10:38] {Threei}  you do not risk your entire investment, only a part of it defined by stop size
[10:38] {i2romantis} true, if many trades are done , I agree
[10:38] {ese} am back...was disconnecteda again.....  out AAUK even   it ain't goin nowheres
[10:38] {i2romantis} that's true
 [10:38] {Threei}  and $7,500 with right broker is $75K buying power
 [10:38] {Threei}  allows you for this kind of trades easily
[10:39] {magoo} i2..if you scalp a dime on 1k...100 bux...do this 5 times+ 125,000 annual
[10:39] {i2romantis} I stopped trading on margin in 2003, getting back in now
[10:39] {i2romantis} ok so then it's ok to go just for 100
[10:39] {i2romantis} I thought I was doing small game when doing that
 [10:40] {Threei}  nothing's wrong with intraday trading on margin with strict stop discipline... now, investing on margin is a very different story
[10:40] {i2romantis} at times you get almost nothing, but not always knowledgeable of repeatable trades
[10:40] {i2romantis} ok
[10:40] {i2romantis} good point
 [10:40] {Threei}  you'll get much better idea of how this game is structured when go over scalping course
[10:41] {i2romantis} yes looking forward to that :)
[10:41] {magoo} heck..vads biggest win ever only 125 bux {as magoo runs for cover under nearest rock}
 [10:41] {Threei}  sigh
 [10:41] {Threei}  abuse I take
[10:41] {i2romantis} :)
[10:41] {dino} unfortunate but true (dino hides under desk)
[10:41] {KSystems} Lisa!
[10:42] {i2romantis} I have a real issue with stops, hence some odd losses I take at times
[10:42] {i2romantis} so that's a lesson for me and why I'm trying to get more disciplined
[10:42] {dino} make stops you religion
 [10:42] {Threei}  make sure you go over blog articles devoted to stops
[10:42] {i2romantis} I know, I read everywhere about it and Vad's articles
[10:42] {magoo} and beer your beverage of choice
[10:42] {ese} STOPS   are GOD
 [10:42] {Threei}  partciluarly those that describe psychological side of it
[10:42] {dino} ask magoo, what doesit all come down to?
[10:42] {i2romantis} ok
[10:43] {magoo} GOD=get out dummy
 [10:43] {Threei}  lol
[10:43] {i2romantis} lol
[10:43] {i2romantis} so it's ok to ask stupid questions? :)
 [10:44] {Threei}  why not... magoo does it all the time
[10:44] {i2romantis} for example, the stop hits you like within minutes sometimes and then there's a reversal happening
[10:44] {i2romantis} how do you manage that? 
 [10:44] {Threei}  in fact that's all he does
[10:44] {dino} indeed, we a stupid people
[10:44] {i2romantis} just get out and keep looking for new entries?
 [10:44] {Threei}  get out when your stop is hit, period
[10:44] {dino} get out, re-evaluate
 [10:44] {Threei}  there are some discretions to that but at this point don't even go there
[10:45] {i2romantis} so that's a diff way of thinking I need to adjust to
[10:45] {i2romantis} k
[10:46] {dino} speach time: look at it this way; good trading is not about being right, it's about trading right.. expect to lose regularly
 [10:47] {Threei}  and learn not to give a flying sneeze about that
[10:47] {i2romantis} I agree, just need to get my psychology on track 
[10:50] {dino} bingo
[10:51] {dino} i will only hit about .666 of my trades on averave, so what, i expect to miss
[10:51] {magoo} i was just typing that...me and ding dong {thats dino to newbies} average only 67 %
 [10:52] {Threei}  the rest of the beer they simply spill out on the carpet
[10:52] {dino} w/totally different styles. find your own edge
[10:52] {magoo} vads slightly higher he he
 [10:52] {Threei}  mine is 120%
 [10:53] {Threei}  I don't know how it could be but that's what I firmly believe in
[10:53] {i2romantis} k
 [10:53] {Threei}  I convinced myself about that by everyday's session of self-hypnosis
[10:53] {dino} vad=delusional   :)
 [10:53] {Threei}  and proud of it
[10:53] {i2romantis} lol
[10:53] {dino} ok, back to work
[10:54] {magoo} and drunk half the sessions
 [10:54] {Threei}  half??
 [10:54] {Threei}  and btw... look who is talking
 [10:54] {Threei}  born in sin - come on in
[10:55] {dino} nwpx at it again
[10:55] {dino} lol
 [10:55] {Threei}  VIX VOLATILITY INDEX MOVES BELOW 40 FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE OCT 2
 [10:55] {Threei}  - the peak on the VIX was 89.53 on Oct 24
[10:56] {dino} hell is repetition
 [10:56] {Threei}  yeah :)
[10:58] {ese} thinking EGLE at .45 break
[11:00] {dino} give me what i want and i'll go away (dino says to market)
[11:02] {ese} Vad....HOLX   looks like a diagram right out of your book...... 
 [11:04] {Threei}  probably worth a try if market helps ese

[11:30] {dptl} egle?
 [11:30] {Threei}  disconnected from DRYS
[11:30] {dptl} yes
 [11:30] {Threei}  hard to tell
[11:30] {dptl} .50 may be
 [11:31] {Threei}  if it starts going on its own, just read the chart... and remember how jumpy it can be
 [11:33] {Threei}  over 1:1
[11:33] {dptl} didn,t take it
[11:34] {ese} ots of resistance at 13 dp....but when it gets throught that .........hmmmmmmm
[11:34] {dptl} we should ask Vad to kick it
[11:34] {ese} definately
[11:35] {ese} VAD????
 [11:35] {Threei}  you guys are playing it differently than I would
[11:35] {ese} how would you play it
[11:35] {magoo} just noticed PLD
[11:35] {dptl} ye?
 [11:35] {Threei}  it's very thick, moves slowly,
[11:35] {dino} asei stuck still toghten to .92
 [11:35] {Threei}  I'd do scalp type I on it
[11:35] {dino} just droped
[11:35] {dptl} oh i see....
[11:35] {ese} what is scalp type 1
 [11:36] {Threei}  .95 entry, big shares, .89 stop, take scalp around 1:1
 [11:36] {Threei}  big shares, small move on a thick stock
[11:36] {ese} how big shs?
 [11:36] {Threei}  on this one for me would be 3-5K
[11:36] {ese} wow......ok....that would take nerve for me
 [11:37] {Threei}  with 6 cents stop
 [11:37] {Threei}  within normal risk tolerancwe
[11:37] {ese} I'll get there though
[11:37] {dino} esrx stop to .99 stingy mode
[11:37] {lisa_jay} Ese how long did it take you get to this stage...something for me to look forward to.
[11:38] {dino} make iot .09
[11:38] {dino} out +.49 esrx
[11:38] {ese} Hi lisa......to be honest......i'm not sure......working vads system has given me more confidence for sure.....thats because i use proper stops....

[11:39] {magoo} what stock u guys talking about?soorry was on phone
[11:39] {ese} dp and I are in HOLX
[11:39] {lisa_jay} ok, thanks Ese.
 [11:40] {Threei}  ese's way was somewhat different lisa
 [11:41] {Threei}  he moved from invetsment mindset and reading 134 books to our "not thinking allowed" mindset
[11:41] {dptl} ese,you using 1 min chart?
