Our working assumption for today has been continuation of selling, as I had hard time seeing yesterday's selloff as one day phenomenon. It has been too intense, thus must have instilled some fear in traders, leading to more ship-jumping. Based on that, we looked for short entries and most of them worked nicely. While LVS, our bread-and-butter stock of late, was a beautiful short at 47.70, SLW chart has more educational value. The idea of the trade is a bear flag - bounce on decreasing volume. Note how volume drops off as price bounces back up. Two candles, 9:59 and 10:00, establish the resistance to place a stop, and break of support serves as a trigger for short entry. Note also how price holds firmly under 20 MA, and after the breakdown doesn't even try to go above Bollinger Bands median. To reinforce the lesson, have a look at the bounce 10:08 - 10:10 to see how volume dried up once again and price got smacked down in the same manner as before.

[14:10] {Threei} Some economists are now predicting it is only a matter of time before Ireland defaults.
[14:10] {Threei} Some? Just now?
[14:13] {Threei} amazes me it takes them this long to put 2 and 2 together... but read the whole thing
[14:13] {Threei} http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,733522,00.html
[14:14] {Threei} simple math:
[14:14] {Threei} the cuts Ireland undertakes for the next year budget is just under $8 B
[14:15] {Threei} or 6 B Euro
[14:15] {Threei} now,
[14:15] {Threei} If Ireland fully exhausts the EU bailout then it will double the national debt to 175 billion by 2014
[14:15] {nemo} guess beer salies will go down
[14:16] {Threei} and the interest on that would come to 8.5 billion a year
[14:16] {Threei} get this?
[14:16] {dino} trips to ireland
[14:16] {Threei} interest alone will exceed their whole cut, and this is a very drastic cut
[14:16] {Threei} Ireland is done
[14:17] {dino} a race to the bottom, sooner or later the euro w/be devalued, only way out aside from defaults. least painful
[14:18] {dino} you think they let usa devalue by itself, no
[14:18] {dino} or ireland opts out of euro
[14:20] {dino} and then spain, then port, and so on. either devalue the euro or end it
[14:21] {Threei} Spain is the key
[14:21] {Threei} Portugal is still relatively small
[14:21] {dino} germany is key, they have the money
[14:21] {Threei} but when Spain collapses, that's it for Euro
[14:21] {dino} germany could kill the euro right now
[14:22] {Threei} wel, I mean whose bankruptsy will seal the fate
[14:22] {dino} they will devalue it or its dead
[14:22] {nemo} euro=deutschemark
[14:22] {dino} yes
[14:22] {nemo} NE if it get's trhough .16
[14:22] {dino} ironically a weaker euro would help germany, big exporter
[14:22] {dino} they just fear inflation
[14:23] {dino} w/good reason
[14:31] {dino} svn drop
[14:31] {Threei} but enough about Ireland, we have troubles brewing closer:
[14:31] {Threei} (US) California Controller: Reevaluating use of IOUs, could implement usage in 2011

[15:29] {Threei} total
[15:30] {Threei} I rarely if ever find myself siding with government, but in this case, wtf?
[15:31] {Threei} IMO, selling is about to hit the fan
[15:31] {Threei} OREX, if loses .0...5
[15:32] {Threei} probably dives under 9 and more
[15:32] {nemo} we missed the failure at .54
[15:32] {dino} thats the pattern
[15:33] {Threei} Short Setup: OREX .05 break
[15:34] {Threei} if stays under .15
[15:34] {Threei} Short Setup: SLW .15 if stays under .25
[15:35] {Threei} AIG hatl
[15:35] {Threei} American International Group, Inc Halted: news pending

[15:35] {dino} back in ten
[15:36] {nemo} that boy is regular...does it every day at this time
[15:39] {Threei} (US) Reportedly SEC studying whether some trading practices like spoofing are in violation of SEC regulations
[15:39] {Threei} - "Spoofing" occurs when a person trading in the stock markets uses a displayed limit order to manipulate prices, typically in The Nasdaq Stock Market, and thereby obtains an improper trading advantage.
[15:39] {nemo} look bids 07 orex
[15:39] {nemo} gone
[15:39] {nemo} wow

[15:42] {Threei} fake orders were there since internet invention
[15:42] {Threei} suddenly SEC got interested?
[15:42] {Threei} how do they forbid it, I want to know
[15:42] {nemo} nahhh...faux interest..gotta' look like they're doing something
[15:43] {Threei} yeah
[15:43] {Threei} you can't ban cancelling orders, can you?? :)
[15:43] {nemo} See...we care...we busted Martha Stewart
[15:43] {Threei} all you can do is to apply some kind of time limit demanding that order stays alive for certain time
[15:43] {Threei} 2 second? 5?
[15:43] {Threei} what on eareth does that change
[15:43] {davd} i think it might go to the policy of a trader?
[15:44] {nemo} it would kill hft
[15:44] {Threei} nope
[15:44] {Threei} why would it
[15:44] {nemo} nano secon orders
[15:44] {Threei} HFT blooms when gets their bids and odders executed
[15:44] {Threei} offers
[15:45] {Threei} gets rebate, scalps the spread
[15:45] {Threei} if everyone if forbidden to cancel within say 3 seconds from order placement, what do they care?
[15:46] {Threei} OREX 1:2
