[09:46] {Threei} ***Reminder: Back in Feb EU Stat Agency stated that : Greece has denied using currency derivatives to hide debt
[09:46] {Threei} *** On Feb 15th the Greece Fin Min said currency swaps were legal at the time they were used and insisted that Greece has not used them since
[09:46] {Threei} they lied?? noooo...
[09:46] {Threei} my world is crashing
[09:46] {Les} no one cares anymore
[09:46] {Les} lying has become the norm
[09:46] {Threei} about my world crashing? that hurts Les
[09:46] {Les} lol
[09:47] {Les} I know you trade what you see, not what you think

[09:49] {Threei} FITB is enough
[09:49] {Threei} US) White House Press Sec: President will advocate for strong oversight on financial derivative products
[09:50] {Threei} he ever advocated for anything else?
[09:50] {shorty} ZION left me in the dust. On paper that is.

[09:50] {magoo} any read JPM long vad?
[09:50] {Threei} ARBA
[09:50] {Threei} have a look at daily guys
[09:50] {nemo} mos short
[09:50] {Les} ARB
[09:51] {Threei} 14 break looks significant
[09:51] {Les} some traders mispelt?
[09:51] {RonS} arba 7 mil sh short, 8% of float
[09:52] {Threei} JPM mags, I'd go for double bottom here if holding 47,
[09:52] {Threei} with 47.10 as a trigger
[09:53] {magoo} and look fcx too
[09:54] {Threei} ARBA who likes the daily look, make your choice between taking 14.05 or waiting for pullback
[09:54] {Threei} JPM invalidated that setup
[09:54] {Threei} but remains on a radar
[09:55] {Threei} FCX .20 recross
[09:55] {Threei} stop under day low
[09:55] {nemo} Frickin' fitb
[09:56] {Threei} warned it was very slow one
[09:56] {nemo} yeah, well i pounced before thinking...in this case, thinking was recommended
[09:57] {RonS} for radar...sks...42 mil sh short, 42% of float
[09:57] {Threei} FCX 1:1
[09:57] {Threei} SKS nice daily Ron, 9.50 break
[09:58] {Threei} slow
[09:58] {Threei} ARBA salmon
[09:58] {fernp} tell me a valid stop for ARBA if i take 14.05 break, Vad
[09:58] {Threei} under .95
[09:58] {fernp} ty
[09:58] {Threei} with any market help is capable of much more than scalp
[09:59] {Threei} fir 14 entey, stop under .90
[10:00] {Threei} *(US) FEB BUSINESS INVENTORIES: 0.5% V 0.4%E

[10:07] {Threei} stop to unde b/e for second half
[10:07] {Threei} stop on FITB to under .50 for everyone
[10:07] {ese} nice one......
[10:08] {Threei} very nice day shapes up overall
[10:08] {Threei} if FITB and ARBA do what I suspect they can do, can be a steallar one
[10:08] {dino} ioc sm l .16
[10:09] {Threei} because in my mind, if market starts doing its eternal grinding move up, ARBA is capable of 30-40 cents move,
[10:09] {Les} AIG 40
[10:09] {Threei} and FITB is pretty much the same
[10:10] {RonS} dino, oil inv at bottom of hour...
[10:10] {Threei} JPM 1:2, 1/4 more out
[10:10] {Threei} stop to .95, last portion for sale above .20
06[10:11] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large roll of cash
[10:11] {dino} thx ron
[10:11] {shorty} Would portion out Threei, even if I play 100-300 shares?
[10:11] {RonS} ?
[10:11] {RonS} oh
[10:12] {Threei} for training purposews shorty... but also depends on your commissions structure
[10:12] {Threei} you need per share commissions for partialling out
[10:12] {Threei} especially with such small lots
[10:12] {shorty} Thanks Threei
[10:12] {Threei} per trade commissions will eat you alive
[10:12] {Threei} Preview: DOE (EIA) Petroleum Inventories due at 10:30ET

[10:19] {ese} l dell .33
[10:19] {Threei} a) FITB reaches 1:1 this, yes you heard it right, THIS century

[10:24] {dino} cf sm l .51
[10:24] {Les} ty but I want more
[10:24] {Threei} whether you partial ARBA or now, stop is trailed to .95
[10:24] {Threei} FITB... I wouldn't
[10:24] {nemo} I've got a partial on fitb at .64
[10:25] {Threei} yeah
[10:25] {shorty} thx nemo
[10:25] {Threei} it didn't even reach 1:1 yet
[10:25] {Threei} if you want to take such gains, you better play 5-10K lots
[10:25] {nemo} no, but should we move the stop to b/e that's pretty solid support
[10:26] {Threei} otherwise it won't put even stale bread on your table, forget about butter or caviar
[10:26] {shorty} We might have an hour to decide this nemo.....let us ponder this...
[10:26] {nemo} watch what you say...you'll piss off the trading gods
[10:26] {Threei} ARBA, 1:1 is reached for .05 entry
[10:26] {magoo} butt where u reaklly thinking?

[10:27] {Les} lol
[10:28] {Threei} something about today reminds me very different markets we used to have

[10:29] {Threei} fast, slow, longs shorts, expensive, cheapies
[10:29] {Threei} (US) Fed's Bernake: Reiterates that FOMC expects to see low rates for 'extended period;' Expects to see continued low inflation levels

[10:30] {Threei} *DOE CRUDE: -2.2M V +1.4ME; GASOLINE: -1.03M V -1ME
[10:30] {Threei} I don't know Les, and frankly don't care
[10:30] {RonS} oil .50 spike
[10:30] {Threei} I take things one day at a time
[10:32] {Les} hmmm. just thinking of conditions for 87 style crash
[10:32] {Les} but like you say
[10:32] {Les} we'll cross that bridge then
[10:32] {Threei} why would we have such crash?
[10:33] {shorty} I thought that is why theuy introduced the SOES? Because of the 87 crash?
[10:33] {dino} don't think
[10:33] {Les} crash not necessarily a reality
[10:33] {shorty} It was because of the market makers NASDAQ crashed...right?
[10:33] {Les} just conditions conducive to such event, but not important in my trading, this is clear
[10:34] {Threei} CAT Declares regular dividend (66.24, +0.05, 0.08%)
[10:34] {Threei} yes shorty
[10:34] {dino} i think it was portfolio insurance. but it doesn't matter
[10:34] {Threei} it was near impossible to exit positions
[10:34] {dino} nothing matters
[10:34] {Threei} so regulators created SOES
[10:35] {Les} funny, traders worked out that ARB is not ARBA. Drops as quickly as it rose. didn't think to short
[10:35] {shorty} That I know, now how to trade is a different story.
[10:35] {Threei} SOES is long defunct btw
[10:36] {shorty} That they are Threei.
[10:36] {Threei} Les... who was it who mixed them??
[10:36] {shorty} And now they introduce....Vad!
[10:36] {Threei} WFC...
[10:36] {Threei} well
[10:36] {Les} I dunno, but my first efforts at typing led me to ARB
[10:36] {Threei} this thing tries to break out
[10:37] {Threei} if market spikes sharply and WFC delays a litttle, will be worth a try
[10:37] {Threei} if holding above .90 of course
[10:37] {dino} fdx?
[10:38] {Threei} not sure dino...
[10:38] {Threei} idfiocy reigns:
[10:38] {Threei} SEC proposes giving high frequency traders ID numbers to track trading activity
[10:38] {Threei} - votes 5-0 to propose large trader reporting ID system
[10:39] {Threei} who, why and how will benefit from tracking their trading activity?
[10:39] {Les} the masses
[10:39] {nemo} those who feel the need for control
[10:39] {Threei} vasilisa, do you handle swearing well?
[10:39] {RonS} ...they couldn't track Madoff
[10:40] {shorty} lol
[10:40] {Threei} because he didn't trade, lol
[10:40] {shorty} Apperently, everyone on the NYSE floor knew what Madoff was doing.
[10:40] {Les} I think they didn't want to track him
[10:40] {Threei} which means, even if they gave him "tracking number", there was nothing to track
[10:40] {Les} CSX
[10:40] {nemo} 1:1 fitb
[10:41] {Threei} FITB 1:1 baby

[14:44] {Threei} T&S is not a primary consideration
[14:45] {shorty} I know my set ups are horrible. I geuss if you look at LVS now, that would have been a lucky guess.
[14:51] {Threei} so, make a focus on this
[14:51] {Threei} setup identification
[14:51] {shorty} Looking at the chart again....it gave me nothing for a set up.

[14:53] {Threei} don't skip anything,
[14:53] {Threei} don't consider anything to be intuitive,
[14:53] {Threei} actually doing it is important
[14:54] {Threei} start the process of turning yourself into trader
[14:54] {Threei} conscious deliberate process
[14:54] {Threei} it will require certain changes in thinking,
[14:55] {Threei} in approach to what you do and what you are
[14:55] {Threei} MPP will yake you through it,
[14:55] {Threei} then videocourse will help finetune details
[14:56] {Threei} bit first and foremost:
[14:56] {Threei} take it seriously and make it daily work
[14:56] {shorty} I am subconsciously stubborn. If you know what I mean. I don't want to do it, but I need to get over that.
[14:56] {Threei} all my joking around is what you put on top of substance, it doesn't replace substance
[14:57] {Les} aig stopped
[14:57] {Threei} well, then it's your first test on the path of becominga trader
[14:57] {Threei} you want to be one - get over that
[14:57] {Threei} just like with any other profession
[14:58] {Threei} none of them kjust comes to you
