[09:39] {Threei}  AMZN
[09:39] {Threei}  if stays under .50
[09:40] {Threei}  .50 break can serve as a long trigger for a scalp if not losing .30 anymore
[09:40] {Threei}  triggered on a short side
[09:40] {Threei}  stop above .40
[09:41] {Threei}  lol, almost hit 1:1 while I was typing

[09:43] {Threei}  RIMM bounce time soon
[09:43] {Threei}  quick flush under 37
[09:44] {Threei}  too fast to post entry... scalped 36.93 - 37.23
[09:45] {tomg} 37.03 - 37.23 for me, ty vad
[09:45] {Threei}  beauty
[09:45] {Threei}  AMZN down fyull dollar from short trigger
[09:46] {Threei}  but we stinkin' scalpers had to cover too soon as always
[09:47] {Threei}  feels like strong snapback is coming
[09:47] {Threei}  short lived but strong
[09:49] {Threei}  searching for entries
[09:49] {Threei} Long Setup:  AMZN  39.10 small shares
[09:50] {Threei}  half out
[09:50] {Threei}  offer the balance above .60

[09:52] {Threei}  AMZN was funny... hit profit zones before I could type the stop, lol
[09:52] {tomg} need to cool off :)
[09:52] {Threei}  why not... 3 for 3 in first 20 minutes
[09:52] {tomg} got half dollar on amzn :)
[09:52] {Threei}  my snapback came by the schedule
[09:53] {Threei}  yes, and look... we underestimated it again :)
[09:53] {tomg} yep
[09:53] {Threei}  but heck... volatile times, nothing's wrong with 50 cents scalp
[09:53] {Threei}  anyone else is awake?
[09:54] {patience} very much so  :)
[09:54] {Threei}  :)
[09:55] {Onix} seems like I am still fast asleep, could not catch any of your calls this morning
[09:55] {Threei}  gotta wake up, onix...
[09:55] {Threei}  they all moved fast but gave enough time for entry
[09:55] {Threei}  except RIMM bounce which was pretty much arbitrary
[09:58] {Threei}  look at snapback development
[09:58] {Threei}  exactly as planned
[09:58] {Threei}  strong and short-lived
[09:58] {Threei}  I need to take day off more often
[09:58] {tomg} i took some q's when you first saw the snapback coming
[09:58] {Threei}  scalped?

[10:12] {Threei}  first calls were on very fast stocks
[10:12] {Threei}  this one gave a lot of time
[10:12] {Threei}  and allowed for much bigger shares
[10:19] {Geo} nice vacation recharge boss
[10:19] {Geo} i am 1.5x right now
[10:22] {Threei}  cool beans
[10:26] {Chaeron} good morning all and welcome back Threei
[10:26] {Threei}  thank you chaeron
[10:26] {Threei}  got back with a bang, too... 4 for 4 this morning
[10:26] {Geo} hey chaer....
[10:26] {Geo} seems every time vad goes on vacation he comes back with a winning streak
[10:26] {Chaeron} hi Geo... dang... and I missed them all
[10:27] {Geo} how about you go on vacation every weekend?
[10:27] {Geo} eh vad?
[10:29] {Threei}  happily
[10:34] {Threei}  watching how UAUA holds here
[10:35] {Threei}  missed 9 break earlier
[10:36] {Threei}  if market breaks high here, I'd grab UAUA aggressively
[10:36] {Threei}  as close to .20 as possible
[10:38] {Threei}  even better... just need market to jump
[10:38] {Threei}  REPORTEDLY OPEC COMPLIANCE WITH THE 1.5M BBL OUTPUT CUT IN NOV IS RUNNING AT ABOUT 66%

[10:42] {wishbone} in .17
[10:43] {peterg} mr. stupidfingers got .19
[10:43] {Geo} stop vad?
[10:44] {Threei}  under .10 for scalpers, under 9 for a day trade
[10:45] {Threei}  teleprtation
[10:46] {Threei}  next move should be to above .30
[10:46] {Threei}  where scalpers have their 1:1
[10:57] {Threei}  ok Qs, enough of dribbling... jump already
06[10:57] * Threei slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large chart of uptrending market
06[10:57] * Chaeron slaps laserdave1 around a bit with a large trout
[10:58] {Threei}  new high
[10:58] {Threei}  your turn UAUA
[10:58] {laserdave1} howdy
06[11:03] * Threei impatiently kicks the market in the rear
[11:09] {Geo} yawn
[11:11] {Threei}  half out UAUA .30
[11:19] {Threei}  nice move over .30 for those with higher entries
[11:19] {Threei}  solidly over 1:1
[11:21] {Threei}  1/4 more out
[11:21] {Threei}  wake up
[11:21] {Threei}  you will sleep through the selling points
[11:21] {Geo} scalped it with regret now
[11:21] {Geo} sorry
[11:21] {Threei}  anyone's still in?
[11:22] {Geo} was trying to preserve the gains from before
[11:22] {Threei}  nothing's wrong with that
[11:22] {Threei}  one thing I do sometimes when I am strongly inclined to protect profit
[11:22] {Geo} ?
[11:22] {Threei}  but tempted by attractively lkooking stock is
[11:22] {Threei}  sell 2/3 or 3/4
[11:23] {Geo} on 1:1?
[11:23] {Threei}  and just leave last small portion alone with stop under b.e
[11:23] {Geo} makes sense
[11:23] {Geo} i have been doing that
[11:23] {Geo} and thought i was chicken
[11:23] {Geo} lol
[11:23] {Threei}  here we go
[11:23] {Geo} so i guess its ok

[12:58] {Threei}  welcome to capitalism
[12:58] {Threei}  http://www.themoscowtimes.com/article/600/42/372795.htm
[12:58] {Chaeron} life is unfair
[12:58] {Threei}  and then you die
[12:59] {Geo} after paying taxes
[13:00] {Threei}  or you pay them after death
[13:00] {Threei}  however you structure it, these two components will be there
[13:33] {peterg} cue beatle's song "Taxman"
[13:39] {Threei}  the day started out great, then got so boring that I am tracking all the twists and turns in canadian political coup
[13:39] {Threei}  quite fascinating actually
[13:41] {KSystems} ummm
[13:41] {KSystems} in a nutshell
[13:41] {KSystems} what happened?
[13:41] {Threei}  election ended 6 weeks ago producing minority goverment
[13:41] {KSystems} argh
[13:42] {Threei}  three opposition parties united over the weekend to form coalition government and take over
[13:42] {KSystems} do those three have _anything_ more in common that being opposition?
[13:42] {KSystems} that=than
[13:42] {Threei}  all are lefties
[13:43] {Threei}  other than that, no
[13:43] {KSystems} omg
[13:43] {Threei}  they've been at each other throats forever
[13:43] {Threei}  one of them is acrtually separatist party, with main aim to break up the country, lol
[13:43] {KSystems} perfect
[13:43] {KSystems} A good friend of mine is just about to emigrate to Canada this month
[13:43] {wishbone} and the appointed leaders's party is ahving a leadership race, so we voted for ....i mean didn't for for our next prime minister
[13:44] {Threei}  another is fringe socialist party, never having any realistic shot at being even close to forming the government
[13:44] {Threei}  finally third,
[13:44] {peterg} je  me souverains
[13:44] {Threei}  in last election shopwed it's worst performance in polls in Canadian history
[13:44] {wishbone} lol
[13:44] {KSystems} heh
[13:44] {Threei}  with lame leader rejected by both electorate and his own party
[13:45] {KSystems} and they run the country now?!
[13:45] {Threei}  well
[13:45] {Geo} they say the best argument against democracy is to have a conversation with the average voter
[13:45] {Threei}  not right away
[13:45] {peterg} so, who's on first?
[13:45] {Threei}  there is a process
[13:45] {peterg} is there PM yet?
[13:45] {Threei}  and current governement has options to stall
[13:45] {Threei}  regroup
[13:46] {Threei}  and try to avoid it all
[13:46] {Threei}  but not very many options
[13:46] {KSystems} call for new elections?
[13:46] {KSystems} thats what they usually do here
[13:46] {Threei}  one of options... sure to piss off the country
[13:46] {KSystems} until voters are tired of running to the booths, you finally have just over 20% of people voting 
[13:46] {Threei}  we had 3 elections in 5 years, and last one (widely regarded as unnecessary) ended 6 weeks ago
[13:48] {Threei}  to further complicate the situation,
[13:48] {Threei}  we have general-governor,
[13:48] {Threei}  representative of Queen
[13:48] {Threei}  largely decorative figure
[13:49] {Threei}  that usually rubber-stamps the decisions
[13:49] {KSystems} ahhh
[13:49] {Threei}  But in this situation she actually gets to decide what to do
[13:49] {KSystems} she?
[13:49] {Threei}  and this is not an elected official
[13:49] {Threei}  yes
[13:49] {KSystems} sounds funny
[13:49] {Threei}  beyond
[13:49] {Geo} ahhh
[13:49] {Geo}  i had forgooten you guys were a colony
[13:49] {Threei}  former high profile journalist
[13:50] {Threei}  was supposed to attend ceremonies and such stuff
[13:50] {KSystems} is this all going to turn into a serious problem, or just something for a good laugh?
[13:50] {Threei}  all of a sudden she actually needs to deide things that have profound effect on country course
[13:50] {KSystems} i mean, whats the worst thing that can happen now?
[13:50] {Threei}  depends on your percpective
[13:50] {Threei}  IMO{ worst thing:
[13:51] {Threei}  country is overtaken by socialists, separatists and leaderless scoundrels
[13:51] {Threei}  and it happens during the worst financial crisis of the century
[13:52] {Threei}  those three btw are not likely to be friends for very long
[13:52] {Threei}  that coalition will self-destruct quickly
[13:52] {Threei}  such instability and rapidly changing rules at this point - bad enough for ya? :)
[13:52] {KSystems} Michaelle Jean
[13:52] {KSystems} she has a beautiful name though
[13:52] {Threei}  that's her
[13:53] {KSystems} it sounds horrible
[13:53] {KSystems} not the name, that is
[13:53] {KSystems} the situation
[13:53] {Threei}  maybe she is wise enough to do the right thing... who knows
[13:53] {Threei}  nobody actually knows what she stands for, you see
[13:53] {KSystems} what would be the right thing in your opinion`
[13:53] {patience} she was a liberal appointee vad
[13:53] {Threei}  she was never supposed to be a decision-maker :)
[13:53] {Threei}  yes
[13:54] {Threei}  in my opinion (and I don't know the extent of her constitutional rights so it could be impossible),
[13:54] {Threei}  right thing qwould be to tell opposition leaders:
[13:54] {Threei}  here are election results,
[13:54] {Threei}  voters said they want this party to govern,
[13:54] {Threei}  no coalition,
[13:54] {Threei}  no new election,
[13:55] {Threei}  go back to parliament,
[13:55] {wishbone} i heard that vad!
[13:55] {patience} but gov won't withstand nonconfidence vote
[13:55] {Threei}  solve the problems nation faces,
[13:55] {patience} god willing she calls an election
[13:55] {Threei}  and if you can't - I freeze parliament sessions for the time being,
[13:56] {Threei}  and current governemtn rules as majority, unchallenged, until we run the process of consultations,
[13:56] {Threei}  until you run consultations within your oparties,
[13:56] {KSystems} she earns 110.126 $
[13:56] {Threei}  elect leader,
[13:56] {Threei}  and come back to me with plan how make it all work.
[13:57] {wishbone} current gov rules as minority vad
[13:57] {Threei}  I hope some chilling out period can work,
[13:57] {Threei}  I know
[13:58] {Threei}  read the context of my answer :)
[13:58] {Threei}  that was my description of what I'd see as a right thing for jean to do
[13:59] {Threei}  a lot of opposition MPs may re-think whole thing when they hear the reaction of voters and realize this can cost them dearly come next election
[13:59] {Threei}  whole coup was constructed between leaders, no party consulting
[13:59] {wishbone} exactly....power hungry...
[14:00] {Threei}  KS, to add pepper:
[14:00] {Threei}  tape recording emerged over weekend,
[14:00] {Threei}  showing that two of parties actually agreed on this course of action well in advance
[14:00] {Threei}  and just waited for a confidcence vote announced to trigger whole thing
[14:00] {KSystems} wow
[14:02] {Threei}  Question period starts now
[14:02] {Threei}  live on TV
[14:02] {Threei}  I am looking forward to see people banging each other heads with rowing paddles
[14:03] {KSystems} umm what station can I see it on?
[14:03] {KSystems} gonna turn in via web tv
[14:03] {Threei}  CBC
[14:03] {Threei}  no idea if you can see it on the web
[14:04] {Threei}  I am telling you... I never go on vacation again
[14:04] {Threei}  if this happens when I leave for three days, couple week vacation will probably get me into country with Gulag up and running
[14:04] {wishbone} lol
[14:05] {Threei}  if that happens, make sure you stay safe wishbone... I may need asylum, you know... corner in your basement?
[14:06] {wishbone} hey i'll be in the labor camps w/ you!:(
[14:06] {Threei}  OK... we have patience and ese as our backup
[14:06] {wishbone} lol
[14:06] {patience} you behind the tweed curtain wishbone?
[14:07] {wishbone} ?
[14:07] {wishbone} tweed curtain
[14:07] {patience} nope
[14:07] {patience} oak bay
[14:07] {Threei}  Oak bay :)
[14:08] {wishbone} no....never heard that expression...haven't lived in vic very long
[14:09] {Threei}  I don't see anything for this selloff

[14:11] {Threei}  oil 47.50s?
[14:18] {Threei}  found it KS?
[14:18] {KSystems} yea but they dont seem to have a live stream available :-(
[14:22] {Threei}  opposition demands confidence vote... prime minister says screw you
[14:23] {Threei}  that's the short version
[14:23] {Geo} see any setups on RIMM vad?
[14:24] {Threei}  totally market dependent
[14:24] {Threei}  I'd say, short is more likely than long,
[14:24] {Geo} ok ty
[14:24] {Threei}  but I hnave not much confidence in particular setups
[14:27] {Threei}  if market drops sharply, try to get RIMM short as close to .50 as you can
[14:27] {Threei}  hopefully it's ll give a little delay
[14:31] {Threei}  car sales reports today
[14:31] {Threei}  I am not posting them all,
[14:31] {Threei}  numbers are ranging from -30 to -40% y/y mastly
[14:32] {Threei}  mostly
[14:50] {patience} vad, we are about to become the coldest banana republic....sniff sniff
[14:50] {Threei}  lol
[14:50] {Threei}  no kidding
[14:50] {Threei}  at least we could have bananas
[14:50] {Threei}  but noooo... the worst of both worlds
[14:50] {patience} yup
[14:51] {patience} i wonder if they have opened up a file on canada at the cia....it potentially needs intervention
[14:51] {wishbone} lol
[14:51] {wishbone} i was thinking that earlier patience!
[14:52] {patience} honestly, you  just laugh nervously at how bizzarro canada has become overnight

[14:57] {Geo} prison shrimp boat captain
[14:57] {Geo} i like that

[14:58] {Geo} chaer what do you think?
[14:58] {Geo} gotta ask the senior invader
[14:59] {patience} i gotta call paris and ask her where she got her prison outfit
[14:59] {KSystems} Now I'm waking up again
[14:59] {Threei}  didn't trust UAUA 9.20 break when it held 9... too bad
[15:00] {Geo} comeone vad call some trades
[15:01] {Geo} i need money to plan an invasion
[15:06] {Threei}  FRPT
[15:07] {Threei}  4.50 break for a scalp
[15:07] {Threei}  and its product is great for invasions
[15:09] {Threei}  GM TO POST PLAN ON WEBSITE AT 5PMET; TO HOLD PRESS BRIEFING AT 5:30PMET
[15:13] {patience} vad, is anybody trading anything in the market?
[15:13] {Threei}  why not
[15:13] {Threei}  things move
[15:13] {patience} i just dont see much movement in stocks
[15:17] {Threei}  just a scalp FRPT
[15:17] {Threei}  stop is either under .45 or .40
[15:17] {Threei}  both are valid
[15:24] {wishbone} vad, when i hit the offer of FRPT @ .51 when .50 first printed but i wasn't filled. what should i have tried for to get filled?
[15:24] {Threei}  which route?
[15:25] {wishbone} inte
[15:25] {wishbone} inet
[15:25] {Threei}  same here, got my fill...
[15:25] {Threei}  I guess just a fraction of second difference
[15:25] {wishbone} ok ty
[15:25] {Geo} what vad said
[15:25] {Threei}  .50 was eaten through very quickly
[15:25] {Geo} got your fill
[15:26] {wishbone} so u hit .51 or .5?
[15:26] {Threei}  I had .51
[15:26] {wishbone} ok
[15:26] {Threei}  but clicked as soon as .50 started melting
[15:26] {wishbone} i need a faster trigger finger
[15:26] {Threei}  also, here is little trick I taught magoo once
[15:26] {Threei}  when you deal with this kind of stocks where levels can disappear very quickly, do this:
[15:27] {Threei}  click your price,
[15:27] {Threei}  point cursor on the buy button,
[15:27] {Threei}  press the mouse button and keep it pressed
[15:27] {Threei}  now it will click when you let go
[15:27] {Threei}  Saves you time,
[15:27] {Threei}  faster to let go than do both
[15:28] {wishbone} huh
[15:28] {Threei}  BUT
[15:28] {Threei}  if you decide not to enter
[15:28] {wishbone} ther's always a but
[15:28] {Threei}  make sure you miove cursor away
[15:28] {wishbone} ok ty
[15:28] {Threei}  before you let go
[15:29] {wishbone} execution is huge in scalping eh!
[15:29] {Threei}  well, on fast stocks...
[15:29] {Threei}  be thankful you haven'ty had to do it in 1998-2000
[15:29] {Threei}  executions were nowhere as simple as today'
[15:29] {Threei}  s
[15:30] {Threei}  SOES, SelectNet, ECNs,
[15:30] {Threei}  5 min rule, 30 seconds rule
[15:30] {Threei}  SnetPref
[15:30] {Threei}  SOES queue
[15:30] {wishbone} lol
[15:30] {Threei}  I used to give classes on how to enter and exit
[15:30] {wishbone} ok i get it:)
[15:31] {Threei}  that was something to actually learn, believe it or not
[15:31] {Threei}  these days it's just a click for the most part
[15:32] {Chaeron} yeah... trading is for wusses now..... (teasing)
[15:32] {Threei}  lol
[15:32] {wishbone} lol
[15:33] {Threei}  as daunting as that was, it actually gave experienced traders some additional edge
[15:33] {Threei}  would take a fraction of second to evaluate who is at the offer and how to hit him right
[15:33] {Threei}  while newer traders had to think, or tried and failed
[15:33] {Chaeron} yep.. had to walk to my computer every morning... through 6' of snow and winds... uphill...
[15:34] {peterg} weak coffee
[15:34] {Geo} on a unicycle
[15:34] {Threei}  well, that was progress since times you had to use home pigeons to send your orders in
[15:34] {Chaeron} you called your brokers pigeons?
[15:35] {Threei}  tying a thin paper to its leg with "buy me a 1000 of IBM" and telling him to fly to NYSE floor
