The day started on a shaky note as market jumped with not much rhyme or rhythm for a while, mixing wins with stops. Then things stabilized and we found a few very nice wins on FAS, FAZ, LVS - most for much nicer gains than normal.

[08:40] {strider} fslr
[08:40] {Les} morning
[08:40] {Threei} Les :)
[08:40] {Les} sorry for jumping the gun there friday
[08:41] {Les} or mouthing off without thinking too much
[08:41] {Threei} strider, could you have a look at your task manager,
[08:41] {strider} been watching it all morning.
[08:41] {Threei} see if the thing called indexsearching is running
[08:41] {Threei} and how much memory it's eating
[08:42] {strider} No.
[08:42] {strider} Index service filter daemon is.
[08:42] {strider} 45k in mem.
[08:42] {Threei} what windows do you have?
[08:42] {strider} XP pro.
[08:43] {strider} I upgraded from 8mg download to 16 over the weekend.
[08:43] {Threei} you may have ot upgraded to their ltest indexing mechanism then
[08:43] {strider} Also stripped unnec. memory hogs.
[08:43] {strider} ??
[08:43] {Threei} their index search is a serious memory hog
[08:43] {Threei} latest version at least
[08:44] {strider} currently have 25% Ram usage.....with 2 gig ram
[08:44] {Threei} I just remembered that I had similar problem to yours,
[08:44] {Threei} computer freezup for a brief period of time, a few seconds
[08:44] {Threei} spike in memory usage to 100% for that time
[08:45] {Threei} and killing this process mostly solved that
[08:45] {strider} k/ thanks. I'm watching mem usage today.
[08:46] {strider} I also have tended to run a CAD program in background. I'm killing that, at least at open.
[08:46] {Threei} still your usage looks horribly high
[08:47] {Threei} Laser, scanner, 5 tabs Chrome, IE, Outlook express and couple more programs run here routinely,
[08:47] {Threei} and when I sit still, memory usage is about 5%
[08:48] {Les} woha! you have how much memory on board?
[08:48] {Threei} 4G
[08:48] {Threei} EU) EU's Barroso: Calls Germany's desire to modify treaty as naive
[08:48] {Les} ok. 2 here, but it's enough
[08:48] {strider} If I don't get it straight with these mods, I'll get another 2 gig ram.
[08:49] {Threei} yeah guys, that's the eay to go - start insult germany
[08:49] {Threei} strider, do you have harddrive partitioned, or is it C only?
[08:50] {strider} I use a more detailed program called taskInfo.....has some features the infotask doesn't have ( I think). I can flush my RAM in just a few seconds.
[08:50] {Les} one thing I did to clean up my computer strider
[08:50] {strider} C only
[08:50] {Les} was to download ccleaner
[08:50] {strider} but using old partition type.
[08:51] {strider} forget what it's called.
[08:51] {Threei} OK... I have a few partitions, and I improved performance noticeanly by moving pagefile to other than C
[08:51] {Les} with ccleaner you can delete a lot of back ground programs that run on start up
[08:52] {strider} that's above my pay grade, vad. I'll look into that, have good friend that handles my computers.
[08:52] {ese} morning
[08:53] {Threei} 5 seconds operation if you have disk partitioned
[08:53] {Threei} ese :)
[08:53] {nemo} AWIAV?

[08:54] {ese} whats new and exciting
[08:54] {Threei} Lost is over
[08:54] {Les} at 6am in the morning?
[08:54] {nemo} ahhh....I hit oblivion too this weekend, but I wouldn't call it blissful
[08:55] {Threei} ese, look dcc pls
[08:57] {strider} got RAM usage to 15%
[08:57] {strider} with 2gig
[08:58] {nemo} usage, or you only have 15% left?
[08:58] {Threei} what did you kill strider?
[08:59] {strider} mostly my CAD program :)
[09:00] {Threei} lol... why would you want to have it up during trading hours
[09:00] {strider} Also virus programs
[09:00] {strider} Because I get calls during the day and have to answer questions about drawings.
[09:00] {Threei} oh
[09:00] {strider} But I can keep it off at open.
[09:01] {strider} That's the onlly time I've had problems.
[09:01] {Threei} oh boy
[09:01] {Threei} RU) Russian PM Putin: Does not expect inflation to rise above 7% over next several years
[09:01] {Threei} and you think we got it bad?

[09:04] {Les} found the performance monitor
[09:04] {Les} and the microsoft article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555223
[09:04] {Les} I see I can use more RAM
[09:05] {Les} as itunes maxes out pagefile usage
[09:05] {nemo} strider, you ever try ram defrag programs?
[09:05] {Threei} no such thing as too much RAM
[09:05] {strider} nemo...no.
[09:05] {Les} I see itunes is performance inhibitor on my pc
[09:05] {ese} agreed....no such thing
[09:05] {strider} but I have a 'free ram' program.
[09:06] {nemo} download ram def XT and run it, see if it frees up more RAM for you. Windows SUCKS at memory management
[09:06] {nemo} Les, your binky is here
[09:06] {Les} DP!
[09:07] {Les} smack him dino
[09:07] {strider} thanks. I'll try that later in the day.

[10:40] {Les} done ty. my first laser trade with stop and partials
[10:40] {Threei} for nice juicy 45 cents
[10:40] {Threei} wtg Les
[10:41] {Threei} if trailing, try to offer around .45
[10:41] {Threei} for even juicer 60 cents
[10:41] {Les} I was going to choose "StopT" but not sure how that works...
[10:41] {Threei} don't do it
[10:41] {Les} not trailing stop?
[10:42] {Threei} stupid function for stupid trading method
[10:42] {Threei} stop should not be trailed by a certain amount of cents
[10:42] {Threei} stop should be trailed by chart indication
[10:42] {Les} so trailing stop cannot be programmed in laser?
[10:42] {Les} ok, so we trail by chart indication
[10:43] {Threei} yes, and this must be done manually
[10:43] {Threei} how do you program that?
[10:43] {Les} fine. question answered ty
[10:43] {Threei} all trailing progranms trail by $ or %
[10:47] {dino} qcom stopped -.15
[10:47] {shorty} Done for the day. Cya tomorrow.

[10:50] {strider} short bp .68
[10:50] {Threei} be careful with long entries here, market feels like hard shakeout is coming
[10:51] {Threei} here it is
[10:51] {Threei} don't be too quick to jump on recross FAS
[10:51] {Threei} this shakeout will be harder than it seems
[10:52] {Threei} better miss first one
[10:52] {Threei} no entry here
[10:52] {jfjf64} lost me
[10:52] {jfjf64} lol
[10:52] {Threei} do not buy this first 24 recross

[11:02] {Threei} and Summers is second last in this administration I'd trust to balance my checkbook
[11:09] {Threei} unconvincing bounce
[11:09] {Threei} I don't feel the drive
[11:10] {magoo} soon weedhopper
[11:10] {magoo} patience

[11:10] {magoo} getting no quotes for GAG
[11:11] {nemo} hehehehehe
[11:15] {dptl} .
[11:15] {dptl} did i miss enything?
[11:16] {dptl} anything
[11:16] {Threei} no
[11:16] {Threei} we are in waiting mode
[11:16] {dptl} ok....
[11:18] {nemo} somebody tell a joke
[11:18] {Threei} I've got one
[11:19] {Threei} Congress knows what they are doing about economy
[11:19] {nemo} I've got one too
[11:19] {nemo} want me to tell it
[11:20] {Threei} 63% Favor Repeal of National Health Care Plan
[11:20] {nemo} I'll take silence as acquiescence
[11:20] {Threei} wow
[11:20] {Threei} rising as time goes
[11:20] {Threei} hmmm... my joke wasn't funny after all:
[11:20] {Threei} 72% Are Not Confident Congress Knows What Its Doing When It Comes to The Economy
[11:22] {dptl} dell?
[11:23] {nemo} db on lvs
[11:23] {Threei} nah
[11:23] {nemo} ?
[11:23] {Threei} nah to dell
[11:23] {nemo} no volume indication yet
[11:24] {Threei} LVS, worth a try with stop under .25
[11:24] {RonS} x lod
[11:24] {Threei} there is no defined trigger,
[11:24] {Threei} so gotta simply go with market direction
[11:24] {Threei} that is:
[11:25] {Threei} if market spikes and LVS gives a little pause,
[11:25] {Threei} while being within acceptable distance from .25
[11:25] {Threei} grab it
[11:25] {Threei} if loses .25, invalidated
[11:25] {nemo} recross .30 on spike
[11:25] {Threei} spike down, market
[11:25] {nemo} oh well
[11:27] {nemo} lvs bounced at open price
[11:31] {Threei} action quieted down
[11:32] {jfjf64} yyup
[11:33] {Threei} until some direction starts shaoping up, avoid pushing trades, recipe for rinsing
[11:34] {jfjf64} i i 3i
[11:34] {Threei} poetry?
[11:34] {Threei} what's next, roses?
[11:36] {nemo} oooh...30 recross woulda' worked
[11:36] {jfjf64} 3i i i
[11:36] {Threei} this market uptick is not something you would be able to read
[11:36] {Threei} breakdown was just as likely
[11:36] {nemo} nah, I was just looking at the chart formation
[11:37] {nemo} Having said that, the spy bounced off the 200 ma at .60
[11:37] {Threei} but it would fail if SPY chose down at about 11:33 - 11:35
[11:37] {Threei} and it was absolutely the option
[11:37] {nemo} yep
[11:42] {Threei} LVS...

[12:35] {Threei} crap
[12:35] {Threei} .31 was perfect entry

[12:37] {Threei} don't you hate it
[12:37] {Threei} [12:18] {Threei} FAZ, pullback close to .30 for long entry
[12:37] {Threei} intuition says do it, discipline says wait for setup

[14:16] {Threei} see dp
[14:16] {Threei} normal stock, normal setup, cold blood
[14:16] {Threei} and things work

[14:18] {dptl} ok all out ty
[14:18] {Threei} sure
[14:19] {dptl} almost flat for the day
[14:19] {Threei} I just have an impression most of those you try to play are out of desire to find something, anything
[14:19] {Threei} good setups come to you
[14:19] {Threei} you don't squeeze them out of stone
[14:20] {Threei} start looking for them so actively, and you don't notice how wishful thinking replaces real read
[14:20] {Threei} you start seeing trades whe\re there are none
[14:21] {dptl} yes....true....
[14:23] {dptl} it' just hard for me not to do anything then i am down for the day
[14:23] {nemo} ahhhhh....revenge trading
[14:23] {Threei} so you chose to take any trades and dig the deeper hole?
[14:23] {nemo} can't force anything
[14:23] {Threei} market doesn't know whether you are up or down
[14:23] {dptl} thats where the problem is
[14:23] {Threei} it presents opportunities or it doesn't
[14:24] {Threei} you don't take trades because you need to cover your loss
[14:24] {Threei} you take trades because there is right setup
[14:24] {Threei} let me put it this way
[14:25] {Threei} you took the wrong bus and found yourself far from the place you wanted to go
[14:25] {Threei} do you jump on any bus coming along, or do you look at the map and wait for the rioght bus this time?
[14:26] {dptl} right...
[14:26] {Threei} both options may work
[14:26] {Threei} one by design, another one by chance
[14:26] {Threei} make your choice
[14:26] {Threei} if you are gambling, take any trade you see
[14:26] {Threei} if you are trading, do it by the rules
[14:26] {ese} yaaaaaaaaawwwwwn.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[14:27] {jfjf64} ahh a master
[14:27] {dptl} yes ......have to work on my self

[14:28] {jfjf64} ya sd really right a book
[14:28] {Threei} notice, FAS cam back to that entry, we didn't go for it
[14:28] {Threei} wjy?
[14:28] {dptl} second time less chances
[14:28] {Threei} because there is no stup I know there
[14:28] {Threei} setup
[14:29] {Threei} now look
[14:30] {Threei} it goes up
[14:30] {Threei} do I regret not taking it?
[14:30] {dptl} no
[14:30] {Threei} not in the least
[14:30] {jfjf64} why sensi
[14:31] {Threei} because i trade what i can read
[14:31] {Threei} if something moves, but does so in a manner i can't read, what do i care

[15:03] {Threei} FAZ 1:1 for the "milk it for all there is"
[15:04] {Threei} GS 40 cents down from breakdown
[15:04] {Les} half out
[15:05] {Threei} now, with all your morning doom and gloom, tell me it's not shaping up as a good day
[15:05] {Threei} how many good ones we got once things calmed down
[15:05] {Threei} notably on FAS and FAZ
[15:06] {Les} missed your earlier FAS long stuck in other things. would have been nice
[15:08] {Les} what route should I be using Vad? I remember you have a favourite
[15:09] {Threei} NASDAQ is my default choice
[15:09] {Threei} ARCA is second best
[15:09] {Les} so as long as it says NASDAQ I've no need to play with it? ok
[15:09] {Threei} then again... there is a trip into dark pools
[15:10] {Threei} GETCO
[15:10] {Threei} no guarantee shares will be there but no fee
[15:10] {Threei} so if you have time to try and popular stocks, it makes sense to try
[15:11] {Threei} I have a keyboard shportcut for it
[15:11] {Threei} so I don't mess with mpuse switching
[15:11] {Threei} mouse
[15:11] {Les} covered all .05
[15:12] {Threei} and someimes it's fun, just to feel that idiots screaming about dark pools not being accessibble for average retail trader are just that.... idiots
[15:19] {Threei} mibbit seems unstable
[15:23] {Les} .
[15:29] {dptl} bp bounce?
[15:30] {Threei} let's see it it stabilizes
[15:30] {Threei} and forms a range to break
[15:34] {Threei} short covering
[15:36] {Threei} FAS dive under .20 maybe interesting for a last scalp
[15:39] {Threei} like clockwork
[15:43] {dptl} did you take it?
[15:43] {Threei} .22
[15:44] {dptl} i am not
[15:45] {dptl} where was your stop?
[15:45] {Threei} .15
[15:46] {Threei} maybe one more scalp, near 23 - 23.05
[15:47] {Threei} 23 recross
[15:47] {Threei} if holding .95
[15:48] {Threei} no go
[15:48] {dptl} to crazy
[15:49] {dptl} it start mooving differently
[15:49] {Threei} yes
[15:50] {Threei} anyway, bounce time
[15:51] {Threei} took .76
[15:51] {Threei} half put .88
[15:51] {nemo} laser froze up
[15:52] {Threei} nope
[15:52] {nemo} it did for me
[15:52] {Threei} this is your computer
[15:52] {Threei} this is not laser
[15:52] {nemo} or it's interaction with other programs
[15:52] {nemo} I shut down Firefox and it's fine
[15:53] {dptl} well...have a good evening all....and thanx again Vad
[15:53] {Threei} welcome
[15:53] {Threei} go and sin no more
[15:54] {strider} yes, master.
[15:55] {Threei} what a miserable closing for the market
[15:55] {Les} another fat finger somewhere...
[15:55] {Threei} heh
[15:55] {Threei} they are srtill looking for that eh
[15:56] {Les} can't be any other reason apparently
[15:57] {Les} oof Asia ain't gonna be happy in the morning
[15:58] {Threei} tempted to take FAZ overnight
[15:58] {Threei} but heck... why do I need that
[15:58] {Threei} some idiot throws another trillion in, we open +500
[15:59] {Threei} okay guys
[15:59] {Threei} thank you all
[15:59] {Threei} have a good evening
[15:59] {Threei} see you tomorrow
[15:59] {Les} yeh a domani
