Nov 18 2010

3 early plays resulted in 3 wins, one of them made Catch of the Day below. Other than that, room members found a few more nice plays, and do read a funny exchange about A Taoist Trader course 11:45 - 11:55


LVS spiked up sharply on the morning enthusiasm caused by GM, bounce from oversold and whatnot. Normally I'd wait for clear double top or some other reversal setup, but things were happening quickly so we settled on a bit more risky kind of entry. LVS touched .35, retreated under .30 and made a few quick moves between .20 and .30 within 1 min, 9:38, so even 1 min chart doesn't show that. It's "You had to be there" kind of things, but the idea is traditional: forming a range, then breaking it to trigger the trade. Upper limit of this mini-range was .30 - not even trying to retest the high at .35; this added some confidence to taking short position. 1:4 risk-reward was reached quickly as Sir Newton was proven right.

[11:45] {larisa} "A TAOIST TRADER" is very smart and very original idea too. Congrats Vad. How long it took to write this one?
[11:46] {Threei}  thank you larisa
[11:46] {ese} couple of days i'm sure
[11:46] {nemo} too long
[11:46] {Threei}  it actually took much longer than any of my opther works
[11:46] {Threei}  about year and half
[11:46] {ese} ahhhh a week?
[11:46] {Threei}  MPP took 6 month
[11:46] {nemo} thats because of that jerk you had helping you
[11:47] {Threei}  lol
[11:47] {ese} heyy it wasn't me alright
[11:47] {larisa} I am in the middle, it is incredible actually. Sometimes I feel I am not smart enough for  it, but i will try my best :)
[11:47] {nemo} It was Les
[11:47] {Threei}  mostly because unlike all other things I have written, this one was not fully in my head before I began
[11:47] {Threei}  I was discovering things as I wrote
[11:48] {Threei}  you are making me blush
[11:48] {Threei}  and it takes a lot to make me blush
[11:48] {larisa} well,  you deserve it :)
[11:48] {Threei}  ty
[11:48] {larisa} this time :)
[11:48] {Threei}  lol
[11:49] {Threei}  I hinestly consider it to be most important thing out of everything I've written
[11:49] {dino} hey, nemo is mentioned in it
[11:49] {nemo} that's the fish
[11:50] {Threei}  and nemo was absiolutely instrmental in it, if that's the right word
[11:50] {Threei}  he actually introduced me to the whole thing
[11:50] {dino} wtg nemo
[11:51] {Threei}  and patiently coped with my multiple writings, rewritings and misplacing of articles
[11:51] {Threei}  now, here is the funny thing
[11:51] {nemo} I've edited for russians before ;)
[11:51] {Threei}  normally, chapter would return from him with edits,
[11:52] {Threei}  and I just go through it clicking "accept change", because majority of changes was A, THE etc
[11:52] {Threei}  things that we ruissians just don't get since our ,anguage has no such concept at all
[11:52] {Threei}  so, one of them comes
[11:52] {Threei}  I scroll through,
[11:52] {Threei}  click those "accpet changes" almsot automatically
[11:53] {Threei}  then realize that one that I just accepted looked suspiciously strange,
[11:53] {Threei}  return to it
[11:53] {Threei}  and read:
[11:53] {Threei}  "what the fuick does that mean?"
[11:53] {dino} roflol'
[11:53] {nemo} oh yeah, I remember that
[11:53] {Threei}  if I didn't return and niotice it, that would be what a reader got now, lol
[11:54] {larisa} it is there, page 186
[11:54] {Threei}  rofl
[11:54] {Threei}  OK, I admit, made me look
[11:54] {larisa} :)
[12:01] {Threei}  look at the volume duvergence:
[12:01] {Threei}  - NYSE volume 550M* shares, about 43% above* its three-month average; advancers lead decliners by 4.7:1.
[12:01] {Threei}  - NASDAQ volume 875M shares, about 2% above its three-month average; advancers lead decliners by 4.1:1.
[12:05] {dino} jks to .95

[13:08] {Threei}  stop searching pilots, and they become a target for blackmail: take this device with you on board, or our man who holds your fa,mily hostage in your house right now executes them
[13:09] {RonS} sounds like a plotline for a Bruce Willis movie
[13:09] {Threei}  totally :)
[13:09] {RonS} Fly Hard
[13:09] {Threei}  but seriously, you can't create a known hole this
