[11:24] {Threei} it tend to drop sharply off more or less random points somewhere up there
[11:24] {Threei} but fails breakdowns of the low
[11:24] {Threei} look at its today's 1 min
[11:25] {Threei} you'll find a lot of those drops for which there is no real indicatiojn

[11:46] {Threei} what's with this little piece of crap
[11:47] {Threei} could be, X works nicely on a short side with market help
[11:48] {Les} would prefer .10 stop if it consolidates a little longer
[11:49] {nemo} volue supportive of a break up

[14:41] {Threei} you may cause inflation spike
[14:43] {strider} you get the feeling something's gonna happen soon?
[14:43] {strider} Maybe not today, but soon.
[14:43] {nemo} define "soon."
[14:43] {Threei} yes but I have hard time telling gut fweeling from acid reflux
[14:45] {strider} I think I picked the wrong time to start trading.
[14:45] {Threei} kidding?
[14:45] {strider} no.
[14:45] {nemo} I picked the wrong time to be born
[14:45] {Threei} it's the best
[14:45] {strider} splain.
[14:45] {Threei} we are going through relatively quiet period,
[14:45] {Threei} volatility contracting to almnost unbelieavble degree,
[14:46] {Threei} VIX nears all time lows,
[14:46] {strider} how is this good?
[14:46] {nemo} 11
[14:46] {nemo} has to snap back
[14:46] {Les} cause you're learning when it is friggin difficult
[14:46] {Threei} you have an opportunity to parctice risk control and finding the opportunities during such quiet and easy to control time
[14:47] {Threei} mistake is not egetting punished by 200 points DOW drop
[14:47] {Les} hmm good point
[14:47] {Threei} When the band stretches too much
[14:47] {Threei} and volatility returns with the bang
[14:47] {strider} But hardly any setups work.
[14:47] {ilana} now it's about to lose less, not to earn more, i guess :-)
[14:48] {Threei} you'll be well prepared, witbn some flight hours under your belt.
[14:48] {Threei} nailed it Ilana
[14:48] {Les} I thought it'd be sugar and cream with big moves like a 200 point day
[14:48] {dino} chin up strider
[14:48] {Threei} imagine you started trading a year ago
[14:48] {Threei} last October
[14:48] {Threei} yeah, your setups would have worked
[14:48] {nemo} frickin' roller coaster
[14:49] {nemo} wake up in the morning to limit down on the futes
[14:49] {Threei} and those that didn't would have literally destroyed you
[14:49] {nemo} oy vay
[14:49] {Threei} to put it in simpler terms,
[14:49] {Threei} you prefer to learn swimming in the shallow near the shore or in the deep waters during the storm?
[14:49] {strider} I don't have trouble taking stops.......
[14:50] {strider} I paid for that lesson 6 years ago.
[14:50] {strider} I don't need any more practice taking stops, thank you very much:)
[14:50] {Threei} well, it's npot only stops
[14:50] {Threei} executions, spotting right setups,ight conditions for them to work
[14:50] {Threei} there are many moving parts
[14:51] {strider} yeah. I'm learning that stuff..true.
[14:51] {Threei} Things are fast anbd furious - enviroment is less conducive for kearning

[14:52] {Threei} then it will become indecently volatile
[14:52] {nemo} until 2012
[14:52] {Threei} then you'll start begging for calmer one
[14:52] {Threei} then it'll come
