Session Time: Wed Aug 18 00:00:00 2010

[08:48] {Threei}  Good morning

[09:01] {Threei}  read for yourself:
[09:01] {Threei}  Jazz Pharmaceuticals FDA Staff: Jazz has provided sufficient evidence to support the efficacy of sodium oxybate for the treatment of fibromyalgia
[09:01] {Threei}  - The Division determined that the efficacy analyses of the data do not support the Applicants proposed labeling claims of improved sleep.
[09:01] {Threei}  - The general safety profile in fibromyalgia is consistent with the currently approved Xyrem in narcolepsy.
[09:01] {Threei}  - The distribution restrictions of sodium oxybate containing products for its various approved indications has to take into consideration patient access and the possible increases in rates of abuse, misuse (including drug facilitated sexual assault) and diversion.
[09:01] {Threei}  - Approval of sodium oxybate for treatment of fibromyalgia may also result in increased reporting rates of adverse reactions due to interactions of sodium oxybate with other central nervous system depressants used in the fibromyalgia patient population.
[09:01] {Threei}  - In addition, sodium oxybate is a drug of abuse and misuse. The illicit, nonpharmaceutical form is a Schedule I controlled substance. Pharmaceutical products (Xyrem) containing sodium oxybate are currently in Schedule III. Any product containing sodium oxybate and approved for fibromyalgia will be similarly scheduled.

[10:57] {nemo} ese, could you explain your rationale for that play?
[10:57] {ese} stop to break even balance
[10:57] {larisa} break of previous high he went for
[10:58] {larisa} kinda risky it was bounsing sinse .40
[10:58] {larisa} but worked :)

[10:59] {ese} except that the range was a little large 40pts
[11:00] {nemo} you have a horshoe somewhere in your anatomy?
[11:00] {nemo} horseshoe
[11:00] {ese} I wasn't going to use that kind of stop below .40
[11:00] {ese} for me 1/2 of that range was good
[11:00] {larisa}  stop would be around .75, short time trend line

[11:05] {dino} chk hl l ,90
[11:06] {ese} with X this was classic...it was medium then it started to pick up some steam the 3rd time........gut feeling came into play a little here
[11:07] {ese} does not happen all the time but this time you could feel it
[11:08] {Threei}  musicians and their feelings...
[11:09] {Threei}  if I sound sour, there is a good reason for that: got one here who needs to practice Rakhmaninov for the next couple hours... I need soundproof room for that piano

[13:19] {laserdave} :)
[13:20] {komalg} pm dave
[13:21] {i2r} thx vad, indeed
[13:21] {strider} vad, do you ever trade bull flags?
[13:21] {strider} e.g., HD
[13:24] {Threei}  sure
[13:24] {Threei}  every time when I say:
[13:24] {Threei}  long on pullback
[13:24] {Threei}  what is it if anot a bull flag?
[13:25] {strider} would trigger be at break of top trend line?
[13:25] {Threei}  I am not sure I understand what you mean in this case
[13:25] {Threei}  can you give prices?
[13:26] {Threei}  people draw those lines in zillion ways
[13:26] {strider} HD treneded down till 1:22...green candle.
[13:26] {strider} Would break at 1:24 be trigger?
[13:27] {Threei}  1:22?
[13:27] {Threei}  you lost me
[13:27] {strider} ok
[13:27] {Threei}  at 1:22 it was barely under the high
[13:28] {strider} typical bull flag has top trend line and bottom trend line.
[13:28] {Threei}  how is it treded down?
[13:28] {strider} do you see trigger as break of top trend line?
[13:28] {Threei}  you mean this little retreat from the top?
[13:28] {strider} forget HD:)
[13:28] {strider} just asking generally.
[13:28] {Threei}  OK
[13:28] {Threei}  draw
[13:28] {strider} bang
[13:28] {strider} I win.
[13:28] {Threei}  this is too theoretical and subjected to different visions
[13:30] {Threei}  what you mean by those "trend lines" is not necessary what anyone else means until you show drawing
[13:31] {strider} in typical bull flag....a series of lower highs and lower lows.    question was, does an upside break of the lower highs trendline constitute a trigger for you?
[13:31] {Threei}  no
[13:31] {Threei}  you take a little piece of a bigger picture
[13:32] {Threei}  flag does not exit in vacuum
[13:32] {Threei}  flag is created in context of uptrend,
[13:32] {Threei}  making hugh,
[13:32] {strider} yes
[13:32] {Threei}  pulling back from it,
[13:32] {strider} hefner?
[13:32] {strider} yes
[13:32] {i2r} lol
[13:32] {Threei}  and this is whole complex that needs to be taken into account:
[13:32] {strider} k
[13:33] {Threei}  how uptrend is structured,
[13:33] {Threei}  where last support is,
[13:33] {Threei}  how pullback looks,
[13:33] {Threei}  and what the signs of pullback being over are.
[13:33] {Threei}  So,
[13:33] {Threei}  if your pullback crosses upper trendline after touching on the latest support
[13:34] {Threei}  or does it somewhwere in the middle
[13:34] {Threei}  those are two different situatikons
[13:34] {Threei}  how volume shapes up during the pullback is another factor
[13:34] {strider} y
[13:36] {strider} HPQ climbing slowly today
[13:41] {strider} LVS
[13:48] {dino} .
[13:53] {gregns} c & h forming on MOS ? 1200 to now?
[13:53] {Threei}  pretty much
[13:53] {Threei}  volume is not really classic shape
[13:54] {Threei}  but price configuration is right
[13:54] {gregns} thks
[13:54] {ese} .
[13:58] {Threei} Long Setup:  BP  .50 break
06[13:59] * Threei slaps laserdave around a bit with a large subject of unknown and probably extraterresterial origin, looking strangely appropriate for slapping dave
[13:59] {dino} hmmmm
[14:01] {i2r} hmm
[14:02] {magoo} hm
[14:03] {i2r} vad, when you say break, do you actually set the price to like .55 and hit buy the moment it's at .51 or how do you figure it's a .50 break without losing the entry?
[14:03] {Threei}  principle is right, I just don't fo as far as 5 cents out for the thick stock like BP
[14:03] {ese} aye lads and lassies........itsa harda to contribute to the board ehhhhh   when ya just canna fine nuttin
[14:03] {Threei}  couple cents is enough
[14:04] {nemo} your command, or lack thereof, of English makes it difficult
[14:04] {komalg} so what is stop in this case?
[14:04] {Threei}  under .40
[14:05] {dino} slowwww es
[14:05] {Threei}  that's nothing nemo, you shald hear him speaking after third shot of vodka
[14:05] {nemo} then I switch to German
[14:05] {i2r} k tx
[14:06] {nemo} yeah...but you also forgot to tell them I consider a shot to be a tea glass
[14:06] {Threei}  are there any others?
[14:06] {i2r} Vad, is the break trigger considered the pricing going to .51, .52 or just anything above .50?
[14:07] {Threei}  anything above .50, but there is one necessary condition:
[14:07] {nemo} there are americans/canadians on this board who wouldn't know that
[14:07] {Threei}  price level should actually disappear on level2, especially in case of big offers
[14:07] {Threei}  otherwise you can be lured in by out of bounds print
[14:08] {i2r} can you explain?
[14:08] {Threei}  caused by someone with brokerage of 18 century
[14:08] {Threei}  who gets screwed up on execution
[14:08] {nemo} Dino...where we end today
[14:08] {i2r} probably in laser it disappears? in TD I am not sure how to see that
[14:08] {Threei}  just watch level 2, make sure that price level that serves as break treshold gets actually taken out
[14:09] {Threei}  does TD even have level 2?
[14:09] {i2r} now I"m even questioning whether I know what level 2 is, i thought level 2 is when I see the quotes and a bunch of them
[14:09] {i2r} below the current bid and above the current ask
[14:09] {Threei}  right
[14:09] {i2r} like a dome
[14:09] {Threei}  they are colored
[14:09] {i2r} right
[14:10] {Threei}  so when we look for .50 break,
[14:10] {Threei}  you have a bunch of them in yellow at .50,
[14:10] {Threei}  some in purple at .51
[14:10] {Threei}  some in red at .52
[14:10] {Threei}  etc
[14:10] {Threei}  that yellow should dissipate in full
[14:10] {i2r} got it
[14:11] {Threei}  so .51 becomes yellow (color for inside quote)
[14:11] {i2r} where can I find the meaning of colours?
[14:11] {Threei}  there is none, you can assign those you like
[14:11] {nemo} creee, should bounce around here
[14:11] {i2r} then what are the meanings besides different quotes?
[14:11] {i2r} like inside quotes?
[14:11] {i2r} what is inside quotes?
[14:11] {Threei}  just to make different price levels visible
[14:12] {Threei}  without reaading actrual numbers
[14:12] {Threei}  as you would have to if not for colors
[14:12] {Threei}  let me make a quick screen shot
[14:13] {komalg} Vad,can you pls teach how  to be pateince with drawdown? like....I entered @.50 break but when price reach to .42, I was not able to take pressure
[14:13] {strider} good call nemo.  missed it
[14:14] {dino} nemo, flat to slightly up
[14:14] {Threei}  i2r
[14:14] {Threei}  http://realitytrader.com/vad/Level2%20color%20scheme.jpg
[14:15] {i2r} see it, thx.
[14:15] {i2r} so price point separates 1 cent change?
[14:15] {Threei}  is it what you see with TD?
[14:15] {Threei}  well, for this stock it's 1 cent
[14:15] {i2r} a bit less info, but the middle part yes
[14:16] {Threei}  but look for instance at GOOG
[14:16] {i2r} true, sometimes I see diff colour for price 2 or 3 cent diff
[14:16] {i2r} yes, larger range for GOOG
[14:16] {Threei}  C&H on MOS wortks nicely
[14:17] {Threei}  good spot greg
[14:17] {Threei}  komal... thbis is trading psychology area
[14:17] {komalg} yes. understand.
[14:17] {Threei}  reread corresponding chapter of MPP,
[14:17] {Threei}  look through blog,
[14:17] {Threei}  part devoted to psychology
[14:17] {komalg} O.K.
[14:18] {Threei}  this kind of things must become a focus of attention,
[14:18] {Threei}  something to work with
[14:18] {Threei}  and ultimately, this is going to be what makes or breaks a trader
[14:18] {i2r} anyway for me to get a layout file from someone that has proven to be practical?
[14:18] {gregns} thks
[14:18] {komalg} I am aware of dirrent kind of technicque,but while I am in trade,I am kind of lost
[14:18] {Threei}  laser layout you mean?
[14:19] {i2r} yes
[14:19] {Threei}  mine is for 4 monitors setup, so laser spans over 3 monitors
[14:19] {Threei}  if you need something more modest, ask dave,
[14:19] {Threei}  he has a few of those
[14:19] {nemo} i2r, decide what you would want, we'll tell you the windows
[14:19] {i2r} one app spans 3 monitors?
[14:19] {Threei}  yes
[14:20] {Threei}  take a look at my monitors:
[14:20] {i2r} well, would be good to get the basic idea, nemo, of what you guys see
[14:20] {i2r} cause my thoughts will be history based, TD, and might be limiting

[14:27] {gregns} bp is not a scalp if it goes, correct?
[14:27] {Threei}  hard to tell really
[14:27] {Threei}  no opinion
[14:28] {gregns} ok
[14:34] {strider} you see entry for X, vad?
[14:35] {nemo} maybe better short unless breaks .50 on volume, it's above R3 so how much farther it can run id debatable
[14:35] {Threei}  pullback to about .20 I would get very interested
[14:35] {Threei}  break, don't know
[14:36] {magoo} l .49
[14:36] {magoo} thinking .70 area
[14:36] {strider} well, there's R4:)
[14:36] {magoo} might dupe me
[14:36] {nemo} r4 would be 51.18

[14:47] {dino} lol
[14:47] {magoo} after i lose a nicklee
