Vad's sessions - 2 days, including live trading
Kind of mixed day - started out well with 3 wins out of 4 trades, then a few stops eliminated profits, then couple good trades on RIMM and AIG returned the day in green but just barely. Uncertain moment in the market, a lot of shakeouts on otherwise good trades - but discipline is discipline and a stop is a stop.

[09:56] {Threei} as if it matters
[09:56] {Threei} justy switch
[09:56] {dino} markets don't know which way to go
[09:56] {Threei} IMO... this market bounce is entirely due to michigan numbers
[09:56] {nemo} $ falling
[09:57] {Threei} and should be faded,
[09:57] {Threei} the only xoncern is another set of umbers in 3 min
[09:57] {Threei} let's wait it out
[09:57] {nemo} $ fall has been positive for markets
[09:58] {Threei} if numbers are bad and market reverses down, LVS nearest resistance is still .80
[09:58] {Threei} if they are good and market jumps, break of .80 is ling
[09:58] {Threei} long

[10:03] {Threei} Long Setup: LVS .80 break
[10:03] {Threei} if stays above .70
[10:03] {dino} everybody expects down, w/-3.5% since wed., i vote up
[10:08] {ese} uncertainty means down in my books
[10:08] {nemo} $ down I vote up
[10:09] {ese} just for today nemo? If thats the case it may go up......in general it has to come down sometime
[10:10] {dino} thing is we are -3.5%; last 3 months thats about all itb took
[10:11] {dino} perhaps the markets over reacted too the downside by say 20% too much

[12:03] {Threei} it was .70 if holding .60
[12:03] {Threei} each next reange as it moves down is its own play
[12:16] {fernp} BAC reached 1:1 (virtual)
[12:18] {dino} stec going for gap fill from close
[12:25] {dino} rimm lod

[12:40] {nemo} lvs heading for lod
[12:40] {nemo} eh...yesterday's close that is
[12:40] {dino} nvec
[12:41] {nemo} thin
[12:50] {Threei} AIG
[12:50] {Threei} pulled back almost into .50 support
[12:51] {Threei} should be bounce-worthy for a scalp soon
[12:51] {nemo} funny, today I would have looked at the break out to .95 as a pullback in the down trend :)
[12:52] {Threei} .60 break if stays above .50
[12:52] {ese} hey dino......in your estimation...what are the chances that rimm will fill the gap up first before down.my 15 min chart has a gap between 74 and 71.50....i'm long small 1k ...i'm thinkin that will happen first
[12:54] {ese} short covering rally
[12:54] {Threei} market feels like bounce is coming
[12:55] {ese} i'm gettin that sense......just checkin
[12:58] {nemo} Mmmmmmmhhh....maybe I'll start drinking again
[12:59] {dino} es, that gap in week or two imo
[13:00] {Threei} nnedless to say, AIG is invalidated
[13:03] {dino} cog
[13:04] {ese} tks
[13:05] {Threei} GAME formed pronounced range
[13:05] {Threei} .80 - .90
[13:06] {Threei} worth a try now
[13:06] {Threei} .90 break
[13:08] {nemo} aig spike
[13:09] {nemo} volume that is
[13:11] {Threei} AIG is pretty much random here
[13:11] {Threei} I'd leave it alone
[13:12] {Threei} short on 43.50 breakdown was pretty much the only sensible play after it failed to trigger long
[13:12] {magoo} COG vad, look
[13:13] {Threei} you saw its news?
[13:13] {Threei} Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation DEP Orders Cabot Oil and Gas to Cease All Gas Well Fracking in Susquehanna County
[13:13] {Threei} - DEP Director: "The department took this action because of our concern about Cabot''s current fracking process and to ensure that the environment in Susquehanna County is properly protected,"
[13:13] {Threei} - Cabot voluntarily shut down fracking operations at the Heitsman well in Dimock Township on Tuesday afternoon following three separate spills there in less than one week. The company is currently drilling seven new wells in the county that will require fracking.
[13:13] {Threei} their fracking is seriously wrong
[13:14] {larisa} :)
[13:15] {magoo} we live there
[13:15] {magoo} no kidding
[13:15] {Threei} uh oh
[13:15] {Threei} Fed's Warsh: Reiterates that Fed may need to roll back extraordinary policies sooner than expected
[13:15] {Threei} this is not what market wants to hear
[13:16] {Threei} - the natural unwinding of the Fed's facilities have been largely successful
[13:16] {Threei} "natural unwinding" = we run out of money?
[13:16] {nemo} yeah what's "natural" about this
[13:16] {_aardvark} there goes cog. nice magoo

[13:45] {magoo} vad..diop buyers..bulls ,..whatever..gonna ram us up??
[13:45] {Threei} that's my feeling
[13:46] {Threei} look at NASDAQ or DOW daily
[13:46] {Threei} we are at precise point where natural bounce should come
[13:46] {Threei} whether it's just a pullback before rally resumption or unsuccessful bounce,
[13:46] {Threei} hey should try here
[13:47] {Threei} maybe today, maybe on Monday
[13:47] {Threei} but intraday looks ready
