Not overly active but solidly profitable day. A lot of setups got invalidated before they ever triggered - frequent occurrence when the market changes its tune.

[08:02] {strider} I'm trying to find where you can adjust the up/down arrows beside price in LVL II. I set them to move by 1/10th cent, and want to change back to 1 cent, but can't find where to do it. I assume it's somewhere in Trade Settings.
[08:08] {nemo} Strider, put mouse arrow over levelII. Right click. On menu, look for keystroke tab.
[08:08] {strider} k

[08:22] {Threei} let's start the day on a good note:
[08:22] {Threei} FDIC's Bair: Liquidity crisis appears to be over - TV interview
[08:22] {nemo} yeah...printing presses solved that
[08:27] {Threei} guys, have a look at latest addition to http://www.realitytrader.com/photography/
[08:28] {Threei} joke of the day:
[08:28] {Threei} (RU) Russian PM Putin: asked Govt to evalute pros and cons of Rouble appreciation
[08:28] {Threei} - No grounds for sharp rouble swings and devaluation
[08:28] {Threei} asked govt?
[08:29] {Threei} rather: OK, here is what you do
[08:29] {nemo} Looks good for the minions
[08:29] {Threei} sounds like preparation for peg, doesn't it?
[08:29] {strider} Vad, you've been hanging out with some slimey characters.......
[08:30] {nemo} it mooned you
[08:30] {Threei} amazing thing is, they do tolerate my company, strider
[08:30] {strider} They reall suck up to you, though.

[08:32] {magoo} vad..IBM bounce candidate??
[08:33] {Threei} ty, one of my favs too
[08:33] {Threei} at some point...
[08:33] {Threei} IBM can be surprizingly volatile sometimes
[08:34] {magoo} from what 8i find..IBM wasnt bad report either
[08:34] {Threei} let me put it this way mags
[08:34] {magoo} lol..my new nickname
[08:34] {Threei} this is not about IBM as such at this point,
[08:34] {magoo} 8i
[08:34] {Threei} lol
[08:35] {Threei} this is about whether market topped out or ready to conrtinue
[08:35] {Threei} if we topped out, bounces is not a prominent idea,
[08:35] {Threei} they'll be mt with hard selling
[08:35] {magoo} yup
[08:35] {Threei} no matter what kind of earnings is announced
[08:36] {Threei} so, insteasd of trying to find the play on these bellweathers
[08:36] {Threei} wich will be the most volatile and most importantly, they'll be first out of the gate to show the direction, so you don't have a leading indicator
[08:37] {Threei} I'd prefer to observe them for now
[08:37] {Threei} and get our trades on second tier stocks

[09:51] {Threei} most importantly, ese,
[09:51] {Threei} it stayed just under .20 while market dropped like a stoone
[09:52] {ese} ahhhhh...gotcha
[09:52] {Threei} so my original idea of catching double bottom on that market pullback got modifiesd
[09:52] {Threei} I mean, market makes a low, WFC does too, both bounce, then market makes new low, thing doesn't pull back anymore
[09:52] {Threei} no brainer

[10:24] {nemo} yeah
[10:24] {nemo} not moving w/market
[10:24] {Threei} Short Setup: INTC .15 break if stays under .20
[10:27] {dino} shaw stopped, broken
[10:28] {dino} semi's no respect for earnings
[10:28] {Threei} HIG, why did you feel a need to ruin setup before playing?
[10:29] {Threei} unless this time INTC runs into smackdown again, looks like it's a long side that will set up
[10:30] {Threei} no seriously... look at HIG chart
[10:30] {fernp} in
[10:30] {Threei} up to 10:15 everything was fine
[10:31] {Threei} and played out just as it should - except for that idiotic sharp dive
[10:31] {Threei} that left us with no setup
[10:31] {Threei} Market Internals update at 10:30amET

[10:31] {dino} xlnx sm l .15
[10:32] {Threei} 30 cents move from original trigger
[10:32] {Threei} sigh
[10:32] {strider} what do you expect from intc, vad?
[10:33] {Threei} unless market resumes donward tgrend, should be good for .30 - .35...
[10:33] {Threei} maybe more but only if market really picks up
[10:36] {fernp} unfortunately, habitual behavior in HIG lately
[10:36] {fernp} now is pulling back
[10:37] {fernp} let's see
[10:37] {dino} all, pru want tues gap
[10:38] {Threei} so if this is how HIG trades now, then we should be able to get it around .20
[10:39] {dino} shaw big rinse
[10:43] {Threei} CRIC Update: IPO opens for trade at $12.28
[10:43] {Threei} China Real Estate Information Corporation

[10:52] {Threei} my favorite kinf of question
[10:52] {Threei} you ask it, tyou answer it
[10:52] {dino} may have bottomed nemo
[10:53] {dino} would be an all dayer w/hard stop imo
[10:54] {dino} syna holds well
[10:54] {Threei} that was my impression to dino... and thing actually started picking up buying
[10:54] {Threei} then sold off again
[10:55] {dino} would rather see big drop, then hit it long
[10:55] {dino} say 24.80s
[10:57] {dino} rovi heads into support
[10:57] {strider} QQQQ tripple bottom
[10:58] {Threei} not a lot of readable activity
[10:59] {dino} ktii -10 two days. thinny\
[10:59] {Threei} we had what, one working call for 20 cents, one for 10 and one stop for 6, and whole bunch of invalidated ones?
[11:00] {Threei} many invalidated setups is usually a sign of market changing its ways
[11:00] {dino} shaw holding well now, may re-try it\
[11:00] {fernp} I missed AIG, but reached my 1:1 in INTC :)
[11:00] {Threei} yeah, it touched on 1:1, but barely
[11:00] {fernp} hit .25
[11:00] {Threei} so could go either way depending on a trader
[11:01] {Threei} so you kind of compensated one by another
[11:01] {Threei} but for purity sake, I list it as a stop

[14:48] {Threei} we just look at you
[14:48] {nemo} who did it?

[14:55] {nemo} Thus, don't look at the market for clues
[14:55] {dino} its the tree falling in woods thing
[14:56] {Threei} that's the problem,
[14:56] {Threei} it largely trades with no patterns today

[14:56] {Threei} but mostly it's random
