[09:20] {Threei} **Reminder from Aug 15th: ESI: US Dept of Education releases data on new requirements at for-profit colleges and student loan eligibility; The Education Department's proposed rule would require for-profit colleges to show their programs improve graduates' job prospects without saddling them with large amounts of debt, according to the Education Department; Companies can keep eligibility for federal aid in a variety of ways. They can demonstrate that 45% of former students are repaying loans, or that former students' debt for loans incurred in the school's programs doesn't exceed 8% of total income or 20% of "discretionary income," the new rules propose; Rules slated to go into effect for the 2012-2013 school year.

[10:52] {dino} ouch wpo
[10:53] {strider} hpq pb
[10:53] {Threei} BofA/Merrill Lynch provides market analysis
[10:53] {Threei} - Believes equity markets have entered a correction that could last into October.
[10:53] {Threei} - Volume intensity model has confirmed this last week. Aggressive selling on increased volume after such anemic volume for weeks leeds firm to believe the tone of the market is shifting.
[10:53] {i2r} longest cancellation in history of TD, 45 minutes to cancel what would have been a winning trade
[10:53] {Threei} eeck
[10:53] {Threei} OK, I'll venture tio ask: what is the normal time to cancel order?
[10:54] {i2r} seconds
[10:54] {i2r} usually 1 sec
[10:54] {Threei} boy...
[10:54] {i2r} they had major issues today
[10:54] {Threei} ecen that is too long
[10:54] {i2r} that was it for me

[10:54] {Threei} normal is INSTANT
[10:55] {strider} RFN.
[10:55] {i2r} that would be nice
[10:55] {strider} acronym, not symbol
[10:55] {Threei} you click - it's done, unmeasurable without special presicion tools
[10:55] {i2r} I asked them if it got filled
[10:55] {i2r} they couldn't answer
[10:55] {i2r} for 30 minutes
[10:55] {i2r} I said I don'
[10:55] {i2r} I don't care, make sure it's cancelled, even if it's in profit
[10:56] {i2r} and if it goes against me, I expect TD to dish up the loss
[10:56] {i2r} they apologized and asked for patience
[10:56] {dino} patience works there?
[10:56] {i2r} lol
[10:56] {i2r} I hope not
[10:57] {dino} busting you, but serious bummer.
[10:57] {i2r} I'm sure he or she (?) would pull the hair out by now
[10:57] {magoo} it happens with every broker sooner or later
[10:57] {magoo} just hope not frequent
[10:58] {i2r} yeah I figure
[10:58] {magoo} btw, .046799
[10:58] {magoo} of a second

[10:58] {dino} yes it does magoo
[11:00] {Threei} ugh, got distracted... HPQ formed double top
[11:00] {Threei} and nicely broke down
[11:05] {Threei} Long Setup: LVS .75 break
[11:06] {magoo} target?
[11:07] {Threei} with any market help should be good for more than scalp, with partial around .85 which is Fri day high
[11:07] {strider} stop below .70?
[11:08] {Threei} yeah
[11:10] {strider} invalidated?
[11:11] {Threei} well
[11:12] {Threei} cent here, cent there
[11:12] {Threei} I'd say it's valid
[11:12] {nemo} spy looks like it wants to turn
[11:12] {Threei} and LVS looks breaky
[11:13] {Threei} new high
[11:13] {strider} in .76
[11:13] {strider} stop below .70
[11:14] {i2r} in .76 l sm
[11:15] {Threei} I just spoke to Dave guys - for the time being he is the contact to use
[11:15] {Threei} who needs his e-mail or phone number, ask
[11:16] {Threei} LVS touched 1 cent below .85
[11:17] {magoo} as in .84 lol
[11:17] {Threei} ummm
[11:17] {Threei} lemme check
[11:18] {Threei} .85 - .01, equals... equals... ummm
[11:18] {Threei} wow, you are right
[11:20] {strider} stop now? b/e?
[11:20] {Threei} just under
[11:21] {Threei} went over 1:1, so gotta trail
[11:21] {nemo} wath the tren line
[11:21] {i2r} out LVS, +.02
[11:21] {nemo} started at 9:50
[11:21] {Threei} depends on how you draw it...
[11:21] {Threei} 9:50?
[11:21] {Threei} there won't be a trendline from there
[11:22] {Threei} there is another way to trade it, which is:
[11:22] {nemo} yeah...outliers over the next 10 minutes, but look at the slope through that area
[11:22] {Threei} initial stop at .65
[11:22] {dino} ugp
[11:22] {Les} {----- wallops Nemo with a concrete reinforced barb wired trend line
[11:22] {Threei} then you would still be in, whole thing, but I am not delighted by this during lunch time
[11:23] {strider} seems like lunch time has expanded to about 3 hours....
[11:23] {strider} 2
[11:23] {Threei} whole august is lunch time... with brief distraction by breakfast
[11:24] {nemo} bacon?
[11:24] {Threei} what else
[11:25] {Les} failed to sell TBT at the dt +.15. stopped flat
[11:26] {magoo} at diner, wanna freak out waitress, order veggie burger with bacon
[11:26] {nemo} hi les...;)
[11:26] {Les} outta here. still got family home this week
[11:26] {hawk} lol mags
[11:26] {Les} another snoozer of a day. cheers
[11:26] {nemo} was it something I said? ;)
[11:27] {nemo} tell me what it was, so I can repeat it if he comes back
[11:28] {strider} hpq long .72
[11:29] {Threei} I did better mags
[11:30] {Threei} I rendered waitress in Mo's Chowder speechless by wondering why there was no vodka in my beer and assuring her that beer without vodka is wasted money
[11:32] {i2r} lol
[11:32] {Threei} Long Setup: HPQ .75 break
[11:32] {Threei} if stays above .70
[11:33] {dino} thats funny magoo. but the waitress asked me if i wanted to box for leftovers, i said i'd rather wrestle for them
[11:35] {magoo} lol
[11:37] {strider} stop hpq
[11:37] {nemo} did it trigger?
[11:37] {Threei} no
[11:37] {strider} I was in earlier.
[11:38] {nemo} it would seem the stop would make sense below the swing low
[11:39] {strider} LVS making dlb top
[11:39] {strider} dbl
[11:43] {strider} what is a swing low?
[11:43] {Threei} anyoneelse is as scared on answer as I am?
[11:44] {nemo} the most recent low or high that formed a peak, so the most recent swing low on HPQ would have been 40.67
[11:44] {strider} thx
[11:45] {nemo} that was, prior to the red candle at 11:43
[11:45] {hawk} a swing low comes just before the sweet chariot
[11:47] {komalg} which scanning criteria are you using for HPQ,LVS ?
[11:48] {Threei} LVS is not from scanner, this is our "usual suspect", ogten on a radar
[11:49] {komalg} what abt HPQ,BP,RIMM,CECO?
[11:49] {Threei} HPQ hit scanner as JBE earlier in the morning
[11:49] {Threei} RIMM's another one of usual suspects
[11:49] {Threei} CECO is huge down, hit scanner as 52 week lows earlier,
[11:50] {Threei} attracted attention as big gapper
[11:51] {komalg} Thank you.
[11:53] {komalg} How do you define entry price like..... go long on LVS when it breaks .75,How do you pick this value?
[11:53] {Threei} from the setup structure
[11:54] {Threei} if you go over examples we post in daily logs, you'll see a lot of them there
[11:54] {komalg} I see.
[11:57] {Threei} Long Setup: HPQ .70 break
[11:57] {Threei} if stays above .65
[12:02] {Threei} gosh... nothing changes... guess who is about to deliver speech

[12:08] {i2r} sorry, .69, was going for .70
[12:08] {i2r} stop under .65
[12:08] {dino} ranging 55 to 56.50 esi, imo
[12:08] {magoo} ty
[12:09] {magoo} anyone still in lvs with me?
[12:09] {magoo} thinking .97
[12:11] {magoo} hello?
[12:12] {i2r} DROPPED LVS
[12:12] {i2r} awhile back
[12:12] {Threei} hmmm... magoo seems to be spoiled by abundance of comminication... our usual ignoring puzzles him
[12:13] {Threei} dino, are you the one giving him strange ideas that his questions are expected to be answered?
[12:13] {Threei} no, can't be
[12:13] {magoo} read RIMM vad?
[12:13] {Threei} I am not delighted by RIMM
[12:13] {dino} not i
[12:13] {Threei} didn't think so... not your style
[12:14] {Threei} let me put it this way mags: I would play RIMM short is market sold off and wouldn't play long is market went up
[12:15] {Threei} is = if
[12:16] {dino} rimm by providing code is rolling over vs. aapl, goog who havben't provided it (yet)
[12:16] {i2r} language isn't a barrier hear, we can sense what is meant before you even type it vad
[12:17] {Threei} oh good
[12:17] {Threei} hopefully I can stop typing at all soon, and just nod
[12:17] {i2r} lol
[12:17] {i2r} CREE on the move
[12:19] {Threei} see how willingly RIMM drops?
[12:20] {Threei} and market hasn't even fropped all that much
[12:20] {Threei} 65% of Voters Are Angry At Federal Governments Policies
[12:21] {dino} disconnect, scanner solid green
[12:21] {i2r} are we ready for RIMM?
[12:22] {Threei} nah
[12:22] {i2r} or waiting until 51.00
[12:22] {Threei} long is not the way to go on it,
[12:22] {i2r} k
[12:22] {Threei} short was plausible above .30, but no clear setup at the moment
[12:22] {Threei} HPQ no go
[12:22] {i2r} out HPQ .66, -.03
[12:23] {i2r} wow, good timing
[12:23] {i2r} I just didn't feel it anymore
[12:23] {dino} the "gut" factor
[12:23] {i2r} same factor says to go L on RIMM
[12:24] {i2r} at least it did at .20 on RIMM
[12:24] {i2r} hard to say
[12:24] {dino} i hate trading rimm
[12:24] {i2r} you have a personal relationship with RIMM, dino?
[12:24] {dino} bad one
[12:26] {komalg} For HPQ,why are we thinking to go long as we have down move?
[12:27] {Threei} at the moment of the call, it formed consolidation for a break of resistance while holding support
[12:27] {Threei} and market was testing highs
[12:27] {komalg} Btw,got stopped out 0.7
[12:27] {komalg} I see.

[12:47] {Threei} RIMM no support at all
[12:47] {Threei} well
[12:47] {Threei} formation wise, yes
[12:47] {Threei} but npormal H&S occures around the high
[12:47] {Threei} and singifies reversal
[12:47] {Threei} in this case, it's a right formation in the wrong place :)
[12:47] {gregns} thks
[12:51] {Threei} Short Setup: LVS .80 break
[12:52] {Threei} if stays under .85 of course
[12:54] {Threei} 1:1 was easy but it must be capable of more
[12:58] {komalg} In case of missed entry(0.80),what price should I look for to enter?
[12:59] {Threei} chasing with such a tight stop shouldn't be for more than 1-2 cents
[12:59] {Threei} even 2 is a stretch
[13:00] {magoo} ty rimm vad, shorted 51
[13:00] {magoo} out .78
[13:00] {Threei} :)
[13:05] {Threei} 1:2
[13:05] {Threei} and was so kind to give second chance for entry
[13:05] {Threei} you took it, komalg?
[13:05] {komalg} ya,I was doubting myself, and didn't take a trade
[13:06] {komalg} I need to build more confidence.
[13:06] {Threei} that'sa OK
[13:06] {Threei} you are fitst day in the room
[13:06] {komalg} ya.
[13:06] {Threei} take your time to get familiar with things
[13:06] {komalg} ok.
[13:10] {komalg} If it comes 08 level again,is it a valid entry?
[13:10] {komalg} 0.8
[13:10] {Threei} no
[13:10] {Threei} not a third time
[13:10] {komalg} ok.
[13:15] {jfjf64} gs .05 3i long
[13:17] {Threei} not sure jf
[13:17] {Threei} 50/50
[13:17] {jfjf64} ty
[13:21] {Threei} (US) Dept of Interior: Offshore drilling activity to undergo policy revisions, requiring an environmental review for permits
[13:22] {magoo} whats lowest lvs got on this short...72?
[13:23] {Threei} .70
[13:24] {magoo} ty
[13:29] {magoo} double top RIMM?
[13:29] {Threei} most luikely, yes
[13:34] {i2r} so we are shorting????
[13:34] {Threei} discretionary...
[13:34] {i2r} or it's over?
[13:34] {i2r} I missed it
[13:34] {Threei} wait
[13:35] {Threei} what are you asking then? :)
[13:35] {Threei} double top magoo refered to was at 51 with low around .90
[13:35] {Threei} so, short entry between those two numbers was a play,
[13:35] {Threei} discretionary one, so no "official" calll
[13:36] {Threei} do you really want to short 10 cents lower?
[13:54] {Threei} start partialling around here mags
[13:54] {magoo} ok
[13:55] {magoo} u like rig short vad
[13:55] {Threei} can't tell really
[14:09] {Threei} GS got hit hard
[14:10] {magoo} pressure coming mkts
[14:29] {dino} sm l esi .62
[14:30] {i2r} trying to use laser, but having trouble logging in initially, anyone had the same issue?
[14:30] {nemo} yeah, you probably have to change a setting in the setup
[14:31] {nemo} email laser dave
[14:31] {i2r} hmm, I thought that might be it, just so many settings
[14:32] {nemo} no...it's one number
[14:32] {nemo} I'll bet that's it
[14:33] {nemo} in executor type 69.64.202.155 then 15905
[14:37] {i2r} seems to change those values upon each logon, i'll see what dave says, maybe it's the logon id issue
[14:37] {i2r} thx nemo
06[14:42] * Threei slaps laserdave around a bit with a large chart of uptrending market
[14:43] {laserdave} nice
[14:44] {laserdave} well lets start uptrending then
[14:44] {Threei} you slept so long, it reversed
[14:44] {laserdave} :)
[14:50] {i2r} +.10 on RIMM on the uplift
[14:51] {komalg} today I realized that pateince= trading.I was used to get implusive all day ..it's kind of strange feeling.
[14:52] {komalg} Scanner showing lot's of stocks,why are we not taking any trade?
[14:53] {jfjf64} hmm
[14:53] {nemo} style of trading
[14:53] {nemo} what do you see you want to trade komalg?
[14:55] {nemo} komalg?
[14:55] {komalg} Like I have JBE scanner in front of me,So kind of wondering,why are we not picking any stock
[14:55] {nemo} which one are you looking at?
[14:55] {komalg} are we looking for any particular stuff during this time?
[14:55] {komalg} NFLX..
[14:56] {komalg} or DGIT
[14:56] {nemo} o.k...what and why would you call a trade in nflx..entry and stop please?
[14:58] {nemo} no call komalg?
[14:59] {nemo} Personally, I didn't see a good trade there
[14:59] {komalg} ok
[14:59] {nemo} a long break (jbe) would have had a huge stop
[15:00] {nemo} volume wasn't showing any indication of accumulation
[15:01] {nemo} just because the scanner, which is a static analysis, spits out a stock, doesn't mean it's a play
[15:02] {jfjf64} komaig once in awhile nemo mks sence
[15:03] {nemo} also, one of Vad's sayings is "All salmon, become followers.." nflx was strong today, but now spy is weak, the likelihood of nflx becoming a follower si greater
[15:03] {komalg} ya, I understand,so question is how to pick good one from scanner?
[15:03] {nemo} learning process dude
[15:03] {nemo} 10,000 hours on the screen
[15:04] {komalg} I see.
[15:04] {nemo} now, spy goes north, nflx might be a good play, with right entry and stop/position sizing
[15:04] {nemo} only if formation is there
[15:04] {komalg} are you looking at 1 min spy?
[15:04] {nemo} 1 and 5
[15:06] {komalg} I forgot to give you answer for NFLX entry=34 and stop=34.05
[15:07] {komalg} sorry GILD entry=34 and stop=34.05
[15:07] {nemo} you mentioned nflx and dgit
[15:09] {komalg} ya, I understand now what are you saying for NFLX,stop is huge.
[15:09] {nemo} woulda' been, which makes it a useless play, because, why play a huge stop, if your risk reward isn't greater than 1:1...that would be a fair amount of real estate for nflx to cover to make it worth while
[15:10] {jfjf64} .59 s lvs
[15:11] {komalg} how can I know more clearly that break out is valid or no? means how can I see fake break out or real one?
[15:11] {komalg} I am getting used to more level 2 level
[15:11] {nemo} you can't necessarily, that's why you have a stop
[15:12] {Threei} observe komal... it takes time, don't try to get definite answers in one day
[15:12] {nemo} trading is an art
[15:12] {komalg} but sometime move is so fast,I can see clearly what's going on
[15:12] {nemo} not a science
[15:12] {larisa} :)
[15:12] {nemo} hi lari
[15:12] {larisa} hi nemo :)
[15:12] {Threei} many of these things have no exact answer, it's art in the same degree as it is science
[15:12] {nemo} where have I heard that before?
[15:13] {Threei} and if something moves so fast that you can't read it, you have no business to trade it
[15:13] {i2r} well put
[15:14] {komalg} I will observe for sure.but sometime it is very frustrating
[15:14] {dino} welcome to the jungle
[15:15] {komalg} I agree.
[15:15] {i2r} not as frustrating as trading with TD
[15:15] {Threei} lol
[15:15] {dino} esi stopped .35, -.27
[15:15] {Threei} it doesn't have to be frustrating
[15:15] {nemo} dude, you're automatically up against the big leagues in this game, heavyweights hit hard, you don't want to get knocked out
[15:16] {Threei} set realistic goals
[15:16] {Threei} you are learning whole profession
[15:16] {Threei} it's not something that can be done in days or weeks
[15:16] {nemo} 10,000 hours
[15:17] {dino} brb
[15:17] {nemo} komalg...practice makes perfect, right?
[15:17] {komalg} yes.
[15:17] {nemo} wrong
[15:18] {nemo} perfect practice makes perfect
[15:18] {nemo} you practice incorrectly you reinforce bad patterns
[15:18] {komalg} Today I am seeing myself in differnt zone,before I was jumping like monkey from one trade to other ending up with loss.
[15:18] {nemo} and let me tell you from some nasty scars
[15:18] {Threei} so, you just answered your own question
[15:19] {nemo} you want to learn right the first time so you don't have to unlearn bad practice and break painful psychological patterns
[15:19] {Threei} about why we don't grab every trade spat out by scanner
[15:19] {i2r} {-pulled up a chair, with coffee from starbux
[15:19] {i2r} {- listening to nemo
[15:19] {komalg} Yes.I understand now completely.
06[15:19] * nemo puts boots on
[15:20] {i2r} "completely" takes time, from my experience :)
[15:20] {i2r} I said to Vad, yeah, I get it now
[15:20] {i2r} a few -K later, I got it even more
[15:20] {i2r} now i totally get it
[15:20] {nemo} amen brother
[15:20] {nemo} yeah, right in the sphincter
[15:21] {nemo} sorry
[15:21] {i2r} until I do something stupid again
[15:21] {nemo} komalg, I was thinking about tna break of .55, but I didn't like the action in the spy, woulda' got a scalp, but look at it
[15:21] {nemo} chart formation was reasonable
[15:22] {nemo} bounced at yesterday's close, didn't feel right
[15:22] {nemo} now, if we get a higher low, might be a play
[15:22] {jfjf64} die lvs
[15:23] {komalg} Could you pls tell me why you pick .55....and also what kind of chart formation
[15:23] {nemo} what I saw, was a low that bounced at yesterday's close on a high volume hammer candle
[15:24] {nemo} can be indicative of a bottom
[15:24] {komalg} I see.
[15:24] {nemo} two minutes later I see an attemt at a double bottom
[15:24] {nemo} then had a higher volume candle break of .55
[15:24] {nemo} see the progression
[15:25] {komalg} I am trying to understand.
[15:25] {nemo} but spy is middling here so to much mud for my like
[15:25] {nemo} also, my psychological state is not really in the game today for reasons I won't go into, so you then have to question analysis
[15:25] {nemo} all this goes into it
[15:28] {nemo} now spy showing it might want to break
[15:29] {Threei} poor AONE
[15:29] {magoo} read on LVS vad?
[15:30] {Threei} none
[15:30] {Threei} just violated downtrend
[15:30] {Threei} and hasn't established uptrrend yet
[15:33] {nemo} so komalg, after all is said and done, I would have had a 1:4 trade...can't win them all
[15:34] {komalg} I agree.
[15:35] {komalg} I believe,I will learn more in this trading room as I am expecting positve result for myself.
[15:38] {magoo} GS read vad?
[15:38] {Threei} up after pullback
[15:38] {Threei} any drop to about .25 - .30, look for long entry
[15:50] {jfjf64} good day all
[15:50] {dino} cya jf
[15:50] {Threei} take care jf
[15:50] {magoo} man stra at lows -38
[15:53] {komalg} see you tomorrow.
[15:53] {Threei} take care komal
[15:58] {Threei} ok guys
