[12:32] {dino} hmmm
[12:32] {Threei} and I am a tarantino fan
[12:32] {dino} i watch burn after reading last week, horrible
[12:33] {Threei} out of my three most favorites movies,, two are his
[12:34] {Threei} tells you something about how much I like what he does... but this one is just...
[12:34] {Threei} not anywhere even close to anything he's done before
[12:34] {Les} no, I have that film still wrapped in plastic. Have I wasted my money?
[12:34] {Threei} well... these things are too individual
[12:34] {dino} you want to watch some stupid, funny stuff, get the american pie collection
[12:35] {Threei} let's set some bottom line les...
[12:35] {Threei} my favs, not necessary in a certain order:
[12:35] {Threei} Once Upon a Time in America
[12:35] {Threei} Pulp Fiction
[12:35] {Threei} Kill Bill
[12:35] {Threei} if you like these, you'll likely to be cold to Basterds
[12:36] {Les} no plot, no stirring dialogue?
[12:36] {Threei} there is a plot...
[12:37] {Threei} it's just not very interesting, not enfafing
[12:37] {Threei} engaging
[12:37] {Threei} no tension he usdually creates so masterfully
[12:38] {dino} i have to watch, it's a wonderful life again
[12:38] {Threei} almost all his films are gory, to this or that degree, but he manages to make it elegant
[12:38] {Threei} not much elegance here

[13:27] {strider} Is this "find the popes in the pizza" contest?
[13:27] {Threei} why

[13:29] {strider} yeah. 5min. is better.
[13:29] {dino} jumps
[13:29] {strider} that's sneaky.
[13:30] {dino} meli similar

[13:31] {Threei} I am torn on WFC
[13:31] {Threei} 27 break for long or .90 break for short
[13:31] {Les} cool
[13:31] {Threei} both look attractive
[13:31] {Threei} and volume fkattened out
[13:31] {Threei} so can't tell which is more likely
[13:32] {strider} QQQQ is very differnt from Spy today.
[13:33] {ilana} can you in laser define the volume color based on buying and selling?
[13:33] {dino} fsys lod
[13:33] {strider} no
[13:33] {strider} no, ilana.
[13:33] {ilana} shame... that would help
[13:34] {Threei} on T&S only
[13:34] {Threei} not on chart
[13:41] {strider} Just read the other day that you can link
[13:41] {strider} Esignal to Laser.
[13:43] {Threei} study showed bourbon causes worse hangover than vodka
[13:43] {nemo} makes sense
[13:44] {strider} potato water.
[13:44] {nemo} corn water, what's the issue
[13:44] {Les} if corn can make ethanol, little surprise it gives people headaches as bourbon
[13:44] {ilana} gotta go, have a great weekend
[13:44] {Les} ciao
[13:44] {Threei} have a great one ilana
[13:45] {strider} see ya, ilana.:)
[13:45] {fernp} bye ilana
[13:45] {strider} POT nice breakdown of consolidation.
[13:45] {Les} vad, partialled out at .85 on WFC from .90
[13:46] {Les} am I right thinking wfc gonna b/d again?
[13:46] {Threei} you 5 cents pickers, lol
[13:46] {Les} I've lost some big m oney tonight being greedy
[13:46] {Les} well, big money for me...
[13:46] {Threei} it nears 1:1
[13:46] {Les} here comes my 10 cents
[13:47] {Les} I stupidly let 1:1 in FCX go by for more profit and then turned it into big loss as it turned with market at midday. ouch!
[13:48] {Threei} wait
[13:48] {Threei} OK, you let 1:1 go
[13:49] {Threei} not good but
[13:49] {Threei} but more importantly:
[13:49] {Threei} how do you let it turn into BIG loss?
[13:49] {Threei} one thing is, after 1:1 is reached, stop goes to b/e
[13:49] {Les} oh, ok
[13:49] {Threei} and even if you refuse to do that (no good but),
[13:50] {Les} out wfc
[13:50] {Threei} worst case scenario it hits your original stop loss
[13:50] {Threei} which is what you were willing to risk from the get go
[13:50] {Threei} now, if you don't take that stop and let it go fyrther against you...
[13:51] {Les} yeh hit original stop loss, wasn't happy cause it was .20 cents.
[13:51] {Threei} that IS a problem
[13:51] {Threei} but it was your risk from the start
[13:51] {Les} don't like taking 20 cent loss...
[13:51] {Threei} if it's big risk for you, why do tyou take this kind of trades?
[13:51] {Les} not big risk, but losing pisses me off
[13:52] {Threei} ponder this over weekend:
[13:52] {Threei} you WILL lose while losing pisses you off
[13:52] {Threei} you will start making money when losing becomes part of routine
[13:52] {Les} yes and no
[13:52] {nemo} paradox of trading
[13:53] {Threei} if losses piss you off, it means one thing only:
[13:53] {dino} fsys sm l .51 last try
[13:53] {Threei} you don't have right approach to trading incorporated in your thinking
[13:53] {Les} I will start making money when I stop squeezing trades
[13:53] {Les} I exaggerate
[13:53] {Les} losing doesn't really piss me off
[13:53] {Les} perhaps its this market at present
[13:53] {Threei} I suggest you think about what I said
[13:54] {Les} squeezing trades that don't come good too often
[13:54] {Threei} and make up your mind
[13:54] {Threei} 'cause when you say
[13:54] {Les} then a good trade becomes a loss...
[13:54] {Threei} [13:51] {Les} losing pisses me off
[13:54] {Threei} and
[13:54] {Threei} [13:53] {Les} losing doesn't really piss me off
[13:55] {Les} yeh yeh
[13:55] {Threei} I find it a bit hard to produce sound advice {G}
[13:55] {Les} I need to have scalpers mind set when it is scalpers market
[13:55] {Les} Losing through expectatios and greed that aren't met in present market
[13:55] {Les} expectations
[13:57] {Les} will try typing up your trading mantras this weekend for a change of habits come 2010
[13:57] {Les} my own trading mantras, not yours...
[13:58] {Threei} right, why bother with mine
[13:58] {Threei} they are only working for me for the last 11 years
[13:58] {Les} you know what I mean
[13:58] {Threei} sure... but I can't resist temptation
[13:59] {Threei} realize this les:
[13:59] {Threei} whatever particular problem you are dealing at some particular moment isn't very important
[13:59] {Threei} they will come and go
[14:00] {Threei} general underlying principle is important:
[14:00] {Threei} your mental balance comes from the right philosophy
[14:00] {Threei} if you find yourself pissed off, whatever the cause is at the given moment,
[14:00] {Threei} it means something is imbalanced in your core approach
[14:01] {Threei} until you work out the general understanding what market is,
[14:01] {Threei} how it works,
[14:01] {Threei} what trading is,
[14:01] {Threei} what your place in the market is,
[14:01] {Threei} what role you play in trading,
[14:01] {Threei} how you interact with market
[14:02] {Threei} you will stumble onto reasons to get frustrated
[14:02] {Threei} reasons will change
[14:02] {Threei} frustration will remain
[14:02] {Threei} the closer you are to the right attitude about market, trading and yourself
[14:02] {Threei} the more balanced you are
[14:03] {Threei} and the better your trading is
[14:03] {Threei} think of this interesting phenomena:
[14:03] {Threei} beginners oftyen find the seciond and third part of TTR especially useful
[14:04] {Threei} as they mature as traders,
[14:04] {Threei} they come to conclusion that it's a first part of TTR that is most useful for them
[14:04] {Threei} part that talks about general understanding of what market is and how we interact with it
[14:06] {Threei} did I sucessfully put you all to sleep?
[14:06] {nemo} coma
[14:06] {strider} THat was good, vad.
06[14:06] * nemo slaps Les around a bit with a large razor wire wrapped 2X4
[14:07] {Threei} ty strider

[14:08] {strider} I am now having periods of relative clarity, still interspersed with periods of cloudiness.
[14:08] {nemo} that's Alzheimer's
[14:08] {strider} This is my 2nd green week since I've been here.
[14:08] {strider} Not much. but something.
[14:08] {Threei} well, the sooner you eschew obfuscation
[14:09] {nemo} great tree-hugging lefty
[14:09] {Threei} while silmutaneously espousing elucidation
[14:09] {dino} out fsys .91, +.40
[14:09] {Les} I was looking forward to green week 1st time strider, but blew it today.
[14:09] {dino} fds to .25
[14:10] {dino} imo, most beginners try too hard
[14:10] {strider} That's easy to do....blowing a week with Friday excesses.
[14:10] {fernp} AKS if breaks 20, Vad?
[14:10] {dino} as patience would say, "be patient"
[14:10] {strider} And milk the papertrading for all it's worth.
[14:10] {Threei} same as they all are fern
[14:10] {strider} Just remember that real money will create a whole different set of emotions.
[14:10] {Threei} will work for a small move if market helps
[14:10] {Threei} chart is right
[14:11] {fernp} ok. thanks
[14:11] {Threei} les, last word on this by me:
[14:11] {dino} the end
[14:11] {Threei} what I typed above is 1000 times more valuable for your trading than 100 winning calls
[14:11] {Threei} lol dino
[14:12] {Threei} I stringly suggest you not to dismiss it as general blah blah
[14:12] {dino} :)
[14:12] {Les} ok. will delve into TTR for further nuggets of understanding this weekend
[14:12] {Threei} but embrace and espouse with ferocity
[14:13] {Threei} for a short version, just read the last chapter of part I
[14:13] {dino} les, study him, he will make a career for you
[14:14] {Les} now that's an idea.
[14:14] {Les} webcam feed from vad's workplace

[14:38] {Threei} I am not sujre I got it
[14:38] {Threei} you entered aggressively?
[14:38] {Threei} 'caue at the time of your "in" report it didn't trigger yet
[14:38] {dino} pot 105s again
[14:39] {strider} I forgot what that means, dino.
[14:40] {strider} 105s
[14:40] {strider} heading toward 105?
[14:41] {nemo} look at the sell orders at .50 in rimm
[14:42] {dino} lol, just got a call on that foreclosure bid i won in august. closing monday. the bank, gmac, found 3 additional liens that needed to be satisfied after i won the bid
[14:46] {Threei} so they have to eat it?
[14:46] {Threei} Just 34% Say Passing Health Care Bill is Better Than Passing Nothing
[14:47] {Threei} 43% Believe Tiger Woods Apologies Are Sincere

[14:52] {fernp} [20:28] {fernp} 20 cents stop, Les. Adjust your shares
[14:52] {Threei} aggresive entry should have been with .80 stop
[14:52] {Threei} and drop to .55 gave p;ratcially 1;2
[14:52] {Threei} to take agressive entry and widen stop - makes no sense
[14:52] {Threei} it eliminates one of main advantages of agressive entries
[14:55] {Threei} I never cared for Saab
[14:55] {Threei} but I am sad it's gone
[15:00] {dino} yeah 3i, they had to eat an extra $40k, nice title search
