Profitable end to the week, with early long on WFC and a few trades on both sides later on. Still somewhat unusual number of invalidated trades, but those don't bother me all that much since they don't cost us a cent.

[09:43] {Les} nice one on wfc
[09:43] {Threei} have some faith Les, will ya... what's with desire to accept no risk whatsoever
[09:44] {Threei} cutting risk down to zero you simply take yorself out of the game

[09:57] {Threei} I want to short GLD badly
[09:57] {Les} slw is a bit safer for me
[09:57] {Threei} .50 is tempting support to break
[09:58] {Threei} not a nice stock on this kind of breaks though
[09:59] {Les} AUY getting squeezed too.
[09:59] {dino} giddy-up esi
[09:59] {Threei} I swear it goes to 105 today...
[09:59] {Threei} and quite possibly lower
[09:59] {dino} watch your mouth
[09:59] {Les} what GLD?

[10:13] {Threei} hearing Whitney speculates that Goldman will give up its Bank charter status soon to avoid new stricter rules on banks.
[10:13] {Threei} - Note: Whitney cut her GS estimates to inline with consensus on 1/5 before the 1/21 earnings
[10:14] {Threei} GLD, aggressive entries are still the best for it, but it's almost impossible to find the stop level for those
[10:14] {nemo} entry at .70 on the trend would have implied, to my deranged mind, a stop above .80
[10:15] {Threei} entry near .70 would be ideal, yes
[10:15] {Les} AUY and SLW remain alternative vehicles for shorting. but none want to go down. somethings got to give

[11:23] {Threei} I think most of them are...
[11:23] {_moeberry} please tell me
[11:23] {Threei} ok
[11:23] {_moeberry} what does that mean?
[11:23] {nemo} They're ALL sisters
[11:24] {Threei} our setups are structured in a way that tells you the trigger for entring,
[11:24] {_moeberry} Okay.
[11:24] {Threei} and sthe level where stop should be placed if a trade is triggered
[11:24] {Threei} or where the trade is invalidated if no trigger
[11:24] {Threei} Example:
[11:24] {Threei} Long Setup: SOMETHING .50 break if holding above .40
[11:25] {_moeberry} okay
[11:25] {Threei} Something breaks - .50 - you buy
[11:25] {_moeberry} ahhh I see
[11:25] {Threei} Something drops under .40 - take the stop,
[11:25] {_moeberry} so let's say
[11:25] {Les} s wfc small shares .83 stop hod
[11:25] {Threei} Something drops under .40 before breaking .50 - trade is cvanceled
[11:25] {_moeberry} XYZ is @ 15.20
[11:26] {_moeberry} and you made a alert on xyz .50
[11:26] {_moeberry} so I only buy if it reaches anything over .50?
[11:26] {Threei} formally, yes,
[11:26] {Threei} but
[11:26] {_moeberry} ahh
[11:26] {Threei} there are also different types of entry

[14:32] {dino} wow ndx -8% in 8 trade days
[14:37] {strider} Where's the afternoon trade, vad?
[14:37] {nemo} been a slow descent,,,,hop on the trend on pullbacks
[14:40] {strider} pullbackks, huh?
[14:40] {Threei} bounces
[14:40] {strider} you wanta point some of those out to me?
[14:40] {strider} :)
[14:41] {nemo} well, I've been scalping down on fcx, but it's basically been reading the tape and when it touches the 13 ma, I look to go short
[14:41] {Threei} my culprit is this:
[14:41] {Threei} most of days this week we had late day bounce
[14:41] {Threei} so I have troubles discerning whether it's the case today as well
[14:41] {Threei} doesn't loook like that
[14:41] {Threei} everything feels to me like more selling
[14:42] {Threei} look st GS testing lows on both intraday and daily
[14:43] {dino} sm l .00 neu risky
[14:44] {nemo} yeah, the volumes on these bounces or pauses doesnt really give any indication of changes of direction
[14:44] {strider} futs have bounced off lows 3 times.
[14:45] {nemo} that's called dead cat.
[14:46] {strider} then why were you suggesting I catch the rebounds?
[14:48] {Threei} GS another leg down
[14:48] {nemo} pullbacks from the downtrends short
[14:48] {Threei} FCX too
[14:50] {strider} MYGN is a freak of nature
[14:50] {Threei} total
[14:50] {strider} I did a stupid .20 scalp awhile ago.
[14:51] {Threei} RIMM is bounce candidate
[14:51] {nemo} what is stupi about a .20 scalp
[14:51] {strider} ihr
[14:55] {dino} rmbs wants that gap at 21.15
[14:55] {dino} scanners all red

[14:57] {dino} 1730 gap ndx
[14:59] {nemo} PPT?
[14:59] {dino} nah
[15:00] {dino} amzn gives back
[15:00] {Threei} RIMM... watching for a pullback, double bottom, and bigger move up
[15:01] {Threei} should bottom around .45 - .50
[15:03] {dino} seems my gut was wrong at noon, felt hod for close. must be the atkins diet messing w/its' ability
[15:03] {Threei} lol
[15:03] {Threei} you are on arkins again?
[15:04] {dino} yeah, every jan. and feb.

[15:06] {i2romantis} nice market drop and some signs of recovery
[15:06] {i2romantis} seems that every time I talk to Vad I get back on track with my trading
[15:06] {nemo} yeah, they blocked up the artery
[15:06] {nemo} it's a small price to pay for sanity I2
[15:06] {Threei} that's my magic, i2r
[15:07] {i2romantis} yes :)
[15:09] {dino} neu stopped, .42

[15:15] {Threei} RIMM is back into support
[15:15] {Threei} skightest help by market should make it bounce

[15:20] {Threei} nice and easy RIMM
[15:20] {Threei} anyone took it?
[15:20] {nemo} wasn't watching
06[15:21] * Threei slaps nemo around a bit with a large attention-getter wrapped in sleep-ceaser and spiked with boredom-interrupter
[15:22] {nemo} I was watching fcx
[15:24] {fernp} oops!, missed RIMM. was watching pizzas, dont know which to choose
06[15:25] * nemo slaps fernp around a bit with a large can of anchovies
[15:25] {fernp} yeah!! anchovies... good idea
[15:29] {i2romantis} black olives...
[15:30] {nemo} italians are famous for pizza and spaghetti and invented neither
[15:31] {i2romantis} they know how to use good ideas
[15:31] {fernp} i've been living in Roma for 10 months
[15:31] {nemo} I liked Florence better, but....
[15:31] {fernp} i don't like his pizza
