Careful picks allowed us to trade at 100% today despite low volume range-locked day. A trade below shows the example of trend-following: short on breakdown even though by "conventional thinking" a stock was down a lot already.

[12:43] {i2r} this is my second day of extreme losses
[12:43] {Threei}  hmm?
[12:43] {i2r} all because I simply don't have a plan
[12:44] {Threei}  how do you manage to lose money yesterday?
[12:44] {i2r} doing the same thing I did  before
[12:44] {Threei}  we haven't had a single stop
[12:44] {i2r} had some good ones and some really bad ones
[12:44] {i2r} I did my own thing, as usual
[12:45] {i2r} need extreme makeover :)
[12:45] {i2r} or I'm out
[12:45] {Threei}  where is my 2x4
[12:45] {Les} I come back to the master with firm intent to follow his every move
[12:45] {i2r} that would be helpful, actually earlier would have been better :)
[12:45] {gregns} i2r, i empathize with you!
[12:45] {Les} and nothing more for a time
[12:46] {Threei}  let's agree on one thing guys
[12:46] {Threei}  whether you follow my trades, or do yours or apply some mix,
[12:47] {Threei}  one thing is paramount:
[12:47] {Threei}  follow the plan procedures outlined in MPP,
[12:47] {Threei}  apply strict discipline
[12:47] {Threei}  and keep your *&#)& stops
[12:47] {Threei}  if you don't, you are dead
[12:47] {nemo} !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[12:48] {Threei}  stock picking is secondary,
[12:48] {Threei}  entries and exits are secondary,
[12:48] {Threei}  discipline and structure are primary elements that will meake or break you
[12:49] {dino} db
[12:49] {nemo} x low
[12:49] {nemo} broke
[12:49] {dino} 9b in shares
[12:49] {Threei}  talk to any successful trader surviving over a long enough period of time, and they will tell invariably:
[12:50] {Threei}  it's not right entries or exits that kept them alive,
[12:50] {nemo} keeping stops
[12:50] {Threei}  that's flike, some days you get it, some tyou don't,
[12:50] {Les} stops I keep
[12:50] {Threei}  it's discipline and structure that kept them surviving bad days and allowing them to maximize wins on good ones
[12:51] {i2r} k
[12:51] {dino} make stops your religion
[12:51] {Threei}  do you take trades because there are setups, or because of emotional impulses?
[12:51] {Threei}  do you exit when trade is exhausted or rush to grab any couple cents, just to avoid loss?
[12:51] {Threei}  do you take a stop when trade is not working or do you sit and hope?
[12:52] {nemo} X is about to break .50 pivot support is .40, might be worth watching
[12:53] {nemo} also, fcx approaching lod
[12:53] {Threei}  look at two days for comparison
[12:53] {Threei}  Tuesday, things didn't work out from the start,
[12:54] {Threei}  three stops in a row
[12:54] {Threei}  what did I do?
[12:54] {i2r} some are setups, many are impulses, then impulse on exits, and for the last one, sit and hope
[12:54] {Threei}  cut back severely, waited a few hours,
[12:54] {i2r} k
[12:54] {Threei}  found couple safe trades, got two wins,
[12:54] {Threei}  didn't make a day positive but trimmed losses to modest
[12:54] {Threei}  Wed came,
[12:54] {gregns} thanks vad, these things I need to read and hear often and apply!!!
[12:55] {Threei}  every trade worked like charm,
[12:55] {Threei}  pushed harder,
[12:55] {Threei}  got more of them,
[12:55] {Threei}  rode them to bigger gains,
[12:55] {Threei}  got a daay that covered Tuesday by factor 3
[12:55] {Threei}  today came, a few setups got invalidated,
[12:56] {Threei}  holiday trading, thin,
[12:56] {Threei}  what did we do?
[12:56] {i2r} that's cause you designed MPP and honestly, I didn't even finish reading it, too eagier just to trade
[12:56] {Threei}  cut back on trades, took most safe one,.
[12:56] {i2r} no wonder I'm where I am
[12:56] {Threei}  having modest profitable day
[12:56] {i2r} yep
[12:56] {Threei}  well... how about devoting this weekend to reading it,
[12:57] {Threei}  and not just reading,
[12:57] {Threei}  try to live througgh it,
[12:57] {Threei}  identify your experiences
[12:57] {Threei}  in what you read there
[12:58] {Threei}  I hear all the time that a lot of things in MPP (and in TTR for that matter) are like "you are looking over my shoulder"
[12:58] {Threei}  nice on X nemo
[12:58] {Threei}  my guarantee to you:
[12:58] {Threei}  if you don't read any single book on trading anymore, ever,
[12:59] {Threei}  but apply everything in MPP to your trading
[12:59] {Threei}  you won't believe how much it will change to the better
[12:59] {i2r} k
[12:59] {i2r} deal
[12:59] {nemo} spy broke low
[13:00] {nemo} 50% retracement here

[13:04] {nemo} thought so
[13:04] {ese} why so nemo?      I don't get this one?
[13:04] {Les} so that means Fed gonna get into monetizing debt?
[13:04] {nemo} broker dealers have to buy the bonds, they're market makers...the TBTF banks
[13:04] {Les} if no one else wants it...
[13:05] {nemo} indirect bidders are the ke
[13:05] {nemo} those are the investors
[13:05] {nemo} they ain't buying
[13:05] {nemo} ke=key

[13:26] {nemo} you lie
[13:27] {Threei}  - Ghosn says auto industry is recovering slowly.
[13:27] {Threei}  - Sees strong demand in electric cars, however it will take 20 to 30 years before electric cars "dominate"

[13:31] {nemo} 2012 dude
[13:31] {Threei}  unless serious technological breakthrough happens, it will occur never
[13:32] {ese} was waiting to see if fitb was gonna do the 2:30 climb
[13:32] {i2r} hoover technology will kick in faster than electric cars, with the help of global warming
[13:32] {ese} cya

[13:43] {nemo} whatever works
[13:44] {Les} fair enough
[13:45] {RonS} when is that old magoo gonna start participating?
[13:45] {nemo} when he gets his meds straightened out
[13:46] {nemo} the estrogen just wasn't working for him
[13:46] {i2r} is everyone on meds here?
[13:46] {Threei}  sadly, some are not
[13:47] {RonS} and those are the ones who think alcohol is not drugs...
[13:47] {nemo} well....I only use it for medicinal purposes
[13:48] {Threei}  that's why he adds mint to it
[13:48] {nemo} BIDU

[14:09] {Les} c'mon LVS
[14:10] {Threei}  I think "politicize everything" approach ceases working
[14:10] {Threei}  look at this:
[14:11] {Threei}  after a few speeches where fired up president attacked republicans, made it very personal etc,
[14:11] {Threei}  http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll
[14:11] {Threei}  new low
[14:14] {Les} that ain't the MPP there. Hurts my brain to read it
[14:15] {Les} maybe its the Gigondas kicking in
[14:15] {nemo} frickin comic books hurt your brain
[14:15] {Les} a neighbour of Nemo's Chateau Neuf

[14:22] {nemo} christian Les
[14:22] {dino} in mexico, sushi is known as "bait"

[14:22] {Threei}  I'll give you another, Ron, classic:
[14:23] {Threei}  teacher: who knows what we get if we multiply 2 by 2?
[14:23] {Threei}  student: well... depends... are we selling or buying?
[14:24] {RonS} lol
[14:26] {Les} hehehe
[14:26] {Threei}  wow...
[14:27] {nemo} tna bottom?
[14:27] {Threei}  your reaction times guys.. giraffes are fast vs you

[14:27] {nemo} look away for a second and miss .51 breAK
[14:27] {nemo} TASER MY ASS!!!
[14:27] {nemo} maybe not, might give me brain damage
[14:28] {Les} leave it alone vad. I just got back from the tabler
[14:28] {Les} dinner table
[14:29] {Les} paid you a compliment
[14:29] {Threei}  ok... dinner will do that to you
[14:29] {Les} for a joke nazi
[14:29] {RonS} ...petted a giraffe one time...their hide is suprsingly tough...learned later that it is 1 1/2 - 2 inches thick
[14:29] {Les} that wasn't bad
[14:29] {nemo} so...your not as think as you drunk are
[14:29] {Les} no
[14:29] {Les} on to the whisky for finishing this fine evening
[14:30] {dino} wow skx
[14:30] {Threei}  ok, that becomes interesting
[14:30] {dino} deck too
[14:30] {Threei}  what kind?
[14:30] {nemo} I
[14:30] {Threei}  DECK looks bounce ready to me now, dino
[14:30] {nemo} ve got 21.65 as support for skx dino
[14:31] {RonS} uggs out of fashion...toning shoes cause ankle problems
[14:31] {dino} skx sm l .03
[14:31] {Les} macallan triple cask
[14:31] {Les} bourbon, sherry casked 12 year old
[14:31] {Les} bought it by accident
[14:31] {Les} I hate bourbon
[14:32] {Les} but starting to enjoy the hint of bourbon in the whisky
[14:32] {RonS} sm l deck 45.25
[14:33] {Threei} Long Setup:  TNA  .65 half lot
[14:35] {Threei}  out .82
[14:35] {Threei}  nice and easy
[14:40] {dino} perhaps obanimnation has banned the use of shoes; skx, deck
[14:41] {nemo} watching for C&H on TNA
[14:48] {Threei} Long Setup:  DECK  .08 break half lot
[14:50] {Threei}  see why .08?
[14:51] {Les} nope
[14:51] {gregns} big reserve?
[14:51] {Threei}  yup
[14:51] {Threei}  Hewlett-Packard Co Investigation into allegations of bribery in Russia has reportedly been expanded to include other states
[14:51] {Threei}  - Reminder: in mid August WSJ reported that the US DOJ was seeking documents from Hewlett to support investigation led by German Prosecutors over allegations of bribery in Russia
[14:51] {i2r} how do you see the reserve?
[14:52] {Les} reserve? u mean there's a big seller offloading?
[14:52] {Threei}  watching Level 2 and T&S?
[14:52] {i2r} yes
[14:52] {Threei}  huge buys go at that price, single seller stays refresahing his smallish offer
[14:53] {dino} mdvn
[14:53] {Threei}  if/when he is done, it's like lid being lifted
[14:53] {Threei}  stock explodes
[14:53] {i2r} i get what you are saying, just don't get how you read that there's a reserve
[14:54] {Threei}  he shows a few hundred shares
[14:54] {i2r} you mean he keeps trying to sell at .08
[14:54] {i2r} right
[14:54] {Threei}  gets hit for many thousands
[14:54] {i2r} ah ok
[14:54] {i2r} got it
[14:54] {Threei}  stays there
[14:54] {i2r} combo of T&S and L2
[14:54] {Threei}  what is it if not reserve order?
[14:54] {i2r} makes sense
[14:54] {i2r} I thought you meant it shows up as a reserve
[14:54] {i2r} but got it now
[14:55] {i2r} then again, how can you confirm that .08 is reserve for that guy? What if someone else has it at .09 or .1?
[14:56] {i2r} what makes it evident that it's a almost a sure thing that past .08 no one else will do the same?
[14:56] {Threei}  smeone else can do anything else at any other price
[14:56] {Threei}  but all you have to go off is what you can see and identify
[14:56] {i2r} ok
[14:56] {Threei}  so far, .08 proved to be resistance, so break of it becomes a trigger
[14:56] {i2r} k
[14:57] {Threei}  and no, there is no 100% guarantee
[14:57] {i2r} that was a good explanation though, I didn't look for that before
[14:59] {Threei}  how's that for an explosion?
[14:59] {Threei}  out at .22
[15:00] {i2r} very well done! :)
[15:00] {Threei}  100% today?
[15:01] {Les} surprised you haven't asked if you could leave vad
[15:01] {gregns} ty
[15:01] {Threei}  welcome
[15:01] {Threei}  I do that if I wake up Les
[15:01] {Threei}  but today I never did
[15:01] {Les} certainly profitable for you to sleep walk
[15:01] {Les} through a session
[15:01] {Threei}  normally, yes
[15:02] {Threei}  allows intuition to shine through
[15:04] {Threei}  DECK non-stop
[15:05] {Threei}  btw i2r, this situation with reserve orders is shown in scalping course
[15:05] {Threei}  I suspect you haven't gotten through that either? :)
06[15:06] * Threei prepares 2x4
06[15:06] * nemo gives 3i rusty nails
06[15:06] * Threei nods and encrusts 2x4 with those nails
06[15:07] * nemo asks, "curari?"

[15:19] {Threei}  I'd keep stop under .20
[15:19] {RonS} ok
[15:20] {RonS} nemo?
[15:20] {nemo} Ron?
[15:20] {i2r} lol
[15:20] {RonS} look at gern por favor...
[15:21] {Threei}  he can't
[15:21] {Threei}  GERN disgusts him
[15:21] {RonS} well, i can understand that...
[15:22] {nemo} I don't think the R/R warrants it
[15:22] {RonS} R/R?
[15:22] {i2r} the day the market stood still
[15:22] {nemo} more than likely, imo, we'll have an inside day tomorrow  Risk/Reward
[15:22] {RonS} gotcha, thanks.
[15:23] {nemo} today is an inside day in gern
[15:23] {nemo} frig, looking at gern I forgot about LVS
[15:24] {i2r} L LVS .8
[15:24] {nemo} bastid
[15:25] {nemo} vwap for spy is .18 things might slow down
[15:25] {i2r} k
[15:26] {nemo} i2r, what kind of plays did you cough up the furball on, break outs, or pullback plays?
[15:26] {nemo} on what kind of plays?
[15:26] {nemo} oy vay
[15:27] {i2r} pullbacks
[15:27] {nemo} at what time, did you make the pullback plays
[15:27] {i2r} out LVS .79 -.01
[15:28] {i2r} I find that i often would read the stock well, as in if I just kept my trade the way I planned, but I chicken out
[15:28] {i2r} or think too much :)
[15:28] {i2r} and look at the money, instead of the setup
[15:28] {nemo} ahhhhh
[15:28] {i2r} all the common issues
[15:29] {nemo} yeah...psychological
[15:33] {RonS} we all trade against the man in the mirror, 'cept 3i
[15:33] {dino} back in ten
[15:33] {nemo} 3i cast no reflection
[15:34] {Threei}  lol
[15:34] {RonS} that's what I was thinking  :D
[15:37] {Threei}  - NYSE volume 585M shares, about 24% below its three-month average; advancers lead decliners by 1.8:1.
