Fair day with a few nice plays on both short and long sides - notably CAT short and AIG long, and a few scalps and stops here and there. Gearing up for a bounce that seems to be in cards - most likely tomorrow.

[09:38] {Threei} .85 is a support for everyone this time
[09:39] {nemo} aig DT .15 important level
[09:39] {Threei} if invalidates, look for possible entry around .75

[09:42] {Threei} QID tries to reestablish
[09:43] {Threei} nope, invalidated again
[09:43] {Threei} but I like how 23 forms as a srong resistance to break

[11:35] {Threei} QID precise bounce off .15
[11:36] {Threei} anyone caught it?
[11:39] {strider} HGSI bounce?

[11:44] {dino} no stops to flat
[11:44] {strider} gotcha
[11:44] {strider} thx
[11:45] {dino} hmin, might want to lay out, trading gappy
[11:45] {strider} not in hmin
[11:45] {dino} ok
[11:46] {fernp} GLD again on lows
[11:49] {Threei} isn't it nasty?
[11:49] {Threei} 20 cents jump out of nowhere
[11:49] {fernp} yes, untradeable
[11:50] {Threei} look at 1 min on it, want to show you guys something
[11:50] {Threei} see greakdown at 10:47?
[11:50] {Threei} breakdown
[11:51] {Threei} perfect setup and floowed up perfectly
[11:51] {dino} hmin out .75, +.25
[11:51] {Threei} more or less decent setup, breakdown and follow up at 10:00
[11:51] {Threei} the rest is listless jumps up and down,.
[11:52] {Threei} seemingly setting up, then kills you if you try it.
[11:52] {Threei} Now,
[11:52] {Threei} have a look at market
[11:52] {fernp} Qs?
[11:52] {Threei} yup
[11:52] {Threei} see breakdowns at 10:00 and 10:47?
[11:52] {Threei} I don't think it's an accident
[11:52] {Threei} this thing works flawlessly when supported by the market,
[11:53] {Threei} but the tricky part is:
[11:53] {Threei} when market does nothing and stays in narrow range,
[11:53] {nemo} gld
[11:53] {Threei} GLD doesn't,
[11:53] {Threei} instead it pretends to form setup and trigger,
[11:53] {Threei} then ruins the play by sharp countermove
[11:54] {Threei} So, if this observation is correct, it's a player when the arket moves and "leave it alone" when it doesn't,
[11:54] {Threei} or better yet:
[11:54] {Threei} let's track down such "setup"
[11:54] {Threei} and fade it
[11:55] {Threei} let's papertrade this one for instance
[11:55] {Threei} .25 long
[11:55] {Threei} if stays above .15
[11:56] {Threei} market is locked, so by that theory it's likely to pretend to break down, then jump sharply
[11:56] {Threei} market selloff though will turn it into real breakdown
[11:58] {Threei} .20 break
[11:58] {Threei} if holding .10
[11:59] {fernp} paper?
[11:59] {Threei} or smallish shares
[11:59] {Threei} just testing the idea
[11:59] {fernp} ok
[11:59] {Threei} trying to turn enemy into friend
[11:59] {fernp} lol
[12:01] {Threei} modification #2
[12:02] {Threei} .16 trigger
[12:02] {Threei} if holdin above .10 again
[12:02] {fernp} feels like a nice breakdown (this is the typical breakdown I play)
[12:02] {Threei} lol, 5 sents stop on such animal
[12:03] {Threei} target closer to .30
[12:03] {Threei} sharp spike should take place now
[12:03] {Threei} if I got its behavior right
[12:04] {Threei} (RU) Reportedly Russia Fin Min is still mulling a large gold sale after cancelling a sale from reserves due to a media leak (related GLD )
[12:05] {fernp} we have a new friend :)
[12:05] {Threei} lol
[12:06] {Threei} rwached 1:2, and probably would be good for more if not this headline
[12:06] {Threei} reached
[12:07] {Threei} most remarkably, was possible to play with 5 cents stop
[12:07] {fernp} .25 was my virtual target and reached it
[12:08] {Threei} power of observation...
