Not a stellar day, with some wins, some stops. Something was off today as we were rinsed a few too many times. Catch of the Day was good though:
X was an attractive play as its range tightened, promising an explosion coming. The question though was - which way? Break of .60 support or .80 resistance? The problem is, when such break occurs, it's often near impossible to get your shares, as action becomes fast and furious. Looking for aggressive entry (see http://blog.realitytrader.com/2007/07/how-aggressive-are-you.html for explanation) I decided on a long side. One of important factors placing odds on an upward direction was series of candles with downward tails. They signified good support, as buyers managed to close each of them at the high. We took .70 long entry with .55 stop. Chart tells the rest of the story.

of course I can

ahha

it was pretty much bull flag
01[10:00]
volume lower on down bars
01[10:00]

01[10:02]
see those?
01[10:02]
candle I should say
[10:02]
so buying pressure is it?...
01[10:02]
good support, yes...
[10:02]
k
01[10:03]
tail down means, each time price dipped, buyers came in,
01[10:03]
snapped all they could and closed each candle higher
01[10:03]
not enough for a ytrade by itself of course,
01[10:03]
but look at it in the context of the chart
01[10:03]
as larisa said, it was a toss up between breadown and bounce
01[10:04]
so this piece of mosaic helped put odds on the right side
[10:04]
Xman wolverine
[10:04]
range as tight as X had, produces usually very good explosion, just never knbow which way, so entry in th middle of the range confused me, dats why i asked
[10:05]
stop on altr .68
01[10:09]
true, and I wanted entry in advance, because it was likely to be impossible to catch on explosion itself

From what I've tasted of desire
[11:25]
I hold with those who favor fire.
[11:25]
But if it had to perish twice,
[11:25]
I think I know enough of hate
[11:25]
To say that for destruction ice
[11:25]
Is also great

And would suffice.

Credit default swaps on Portugal's 5-year debt rose to around 575 bps compared to 560 bps a few hours earlier and almost 40 bps above Monday's levels. Even CDS on German debt widened by almost 10 bps compared to yesterday's levels and was hovering near 60bps. Dealers were hearing vague chatter that US banks were refusing euro names in swap markets, although this sort of rumor is usually designed to magnify fears of contagion in extreme markets

this is exactly the kind of thinking that maketh a trader
[11:46]
ya it is intermittant...happened about 8 times so far...and the response is immediate in his favor so goes away
01[11:49]
it's soul warming when you start seeing these things, eh
01[11:49]
no longer a victim of manipulations, but a cold blooded observer, recognizing them and able to stay safe and even exploit them
01[11:50]
because contrary topopular opinion, a maniopulator is trader's best friend
01[11:50]
imperative word is "trader" - someone who can see the manipulation and use it to his advantage
[11:51]
but the macro is unsettled...pomo goes on, EU is crap and 12/1 supposedly statistically strong day

Faspariono tweeted about it
01[14:16]
Gasparino too
[14:16]
Fazparino
01[14:17]
ank of America Corp Fox Buiness's Gasparino tweets that his sources at BAC indicated that they have no information that they are the target of the upcoming Wikileaks release
01[14:17]
- Note: A widely circulated Forbes interview earlier had quoted Wikileaks Editor in Chief Assange as saying his next Wikileaks release may bring down "1 or 2 US banks" given the "tens of thousands of its documents that reveal some sort of unethical behavior,", and in the interview Assange did comment that Wikileaks has not notified the subjects at the heart of the release
01[14:17]
- Reminder: Earlier the Business Insider speculated that BAC was the subject of the upcoming Wikileaks release given Assange's prior comments in 2009 that highlighted a hard drive that had come into his possession that pertained to BAC
[14:17]
easy on the whops
[14:17]
wops
[14:17]
gold ropping
[14:17]
dropping also
01[14:17]
it's contagious davd
01[14:18]
I'd avise 10-15 min each evening in front of mirror, repeating "I do not type as Vad does"
01[14:18]
although frankly... I tried that, didn't work
[14:20]
Assange one year ago: " i have a dream...to be a bigger jerk than michael moore..."
01[14:20]
think he is there yet??
[14:21]
never seen anyone so sanctimoniously smarmy...
[14:22]

Ted Turner
[14:22]

[14:23]
but Ted was a genius in the early days...
[14:24]
now is is just an old drunk spouting bs
[14:26]
but hey, i can respect that...reminds me of 3i...:O
[14:26]
...just a joke...
01[14:26]
sigh
[14:26]
good one
[14:26]

01[14:28]
GS...
01[14:28]
maybe a better short cadidate on this hoopla
[14:29]
would not wikileaking GS be like leaking the Mob?
[14:29]
he be ded mofo
[14:29]
watch for spy bounce vwap
[14:29]
not him, the leaker...
01[14:29]
I don't mean that GS is a wikileak's target
01[14:30]
this wave affecting the sector as a whiole, and uncertainty taints all big names
01[14:30]
BAC dropped 5 cents while GS 25
[14:37]
what is causing this 30 minute selling?
01[14:37]
most likely this wikileaks thingy
[14:39]
bounce time
[14:42]
good day, all. see you in the morn.
01[14:42]
take care stewy
01[14:42]
GS nice slide
[14:44]
stew's gone cold
[14:45]
well I thought that was funny
[14:46]
akm
01[14:47]
actually yes Les
01[14:48]
but I have to maintain reputation of not laughing at anyone else's jokes
[14:48]
sigh
[14:49]
strange 5 min chart silver futures
[14:49]
http://www.finviz.com/futures_charts.ashx?t=SI&p=m5
[14:49]
like the POMO tap was turned off
[14:50]
silver price just ebbing away
[14:53]
crude cliff drop. strange
01[14:55]
it all becomes a bit twisted these days Les, and will be for a nearest while, IMO
01[14:55]
what we are witnessing is serious change in traditional market interrelations
[14:56]
permanent change? interventionist change...?
01[14:56]
PMs/currencies/equities/commodities - people got used to cretain relation between all of them -
01[14:56]
well, nothing is permanent
01[14:56]
but what we had over lastr years is in the process of reshaping
01[14:57]
Euro troubles create new angles,
01[14:57]
uncertainty with economic recovery,
01[14:57]
currency wars
01[14:57]
all these things weigh on commoditiess in new ways
01[14:57]
and my feeling is, market hasn't sorted things out yet
01[14:58]
so, some of these vhaartd and reactions start looking weird
01[14:58]
but don't form new patterns yet
01[14:58]
vhaartd?
01[14:58]
what on earth have I tried to type?
01[14:58]
charts
[14:59]
it's ok. I understood you
01[14:59]
wow... this is very very alarming
01[14:59]
be careful...
01[14:59]
undergo regular checkups
01[15:00]
some things are still relatively easy to read if you understand main underlying principles,
01[15:00]
as with my favorite example of late, USD strength after QE2 which anyone stufying Taoist Trader would be able to call
01[15:01]
having studied rather
[15:01]
stufying... not bad. I like that
01[15:02]
frikin labels on keyboard gone again, typing blindly
[15:04]
should be an improvement
06[15:05] * Les smack Nemo with a walking stick for the blind
06[15:06] * nemo slaps Les around a bit with a large bokken
[15:06]
who walks around with a frikin sword?
[15:06]
improvise, adapt and overcome!
[15:07]
just didn't want to get gookies on my hand

[15:27]
patience dcc
01[15:28]
that's OK, I decided to skip it this year anyway
01[15:37]
look GS
01[15:41]
bounce time soon
01[15:42]
one more leg down
01[15:42]
and bounce from under .50 most likely
01[15:42]
alternatively, .80 break but this one is less attractive to me
01[15:44]
here we go
01[15:44]
in .46
01[15:44]
stop under .35
01[15:44]
half out .60
01[15:44]
stop to under .40
01[15:46]
out 1/4 more
01[15:46]
(PO) S&P places Portugal's ratings on watch negative
01[15:47]
stop to .45
01[15:47]
out last part b/e
01[15:47]
not bad for the last trade of the day
01[15:48]
anyone is still alive or I am talking to myself?
[15:49]
I'm here
01[15:49]
okay... let's talk then, the rest can sleep
01[15:49]
how's the weather?
[15:49]
me here
[15:49]
terrible 16degrees and wind 27mph
01[15:50]
yikes
[15:50]
16 degrees sounds nice
01[15:50]
if there are three of us, bottle of the scotch is in order
[15:50]
I'm on red, but thanks anyway
01[15:50]
16 F, Les
[15:51]
still sounds nice
01[15:51]
so not
01[15:51]
it's -10C which is nice only wihtout wind
01[15:52]
with good wind it can feel like -25C easy
[15:52]
I can't get temperature conversion for -4 degrees celcius... wait a second
[15:53]
16F shit that is cold
[15:53]
it's -2F with the wind chill
[15:53]
-8 degrees celcius
[15:53]
I shouldn't be bitching then
[15:54]
but lots of snow. so skiing with kids is in order soon
01[15:56]
not very happy wioth today's performance, couldn't quite get the rhythm
01[15:56]
catch of the day was good
01[15:56]
look the chart for explanations
01[15:56]
