After shorting SLW first thing in the morning we missed its reversal to the long side while being busy with another stock. Luckily it presented us with another opportunity. This setup is so "bread and butter," I'll just post a chart with arrows and no annotations to them - assign the trigger, stop and exit to those arrows and look into the structure of the play dictated by the chart.
Session Time: Wed Feb 23 00:00:00 2011

[08:46] {Threei} blooming crocuses and rhododendrons, budding tulips and roses stared in the sky with amazement yesterday evening
[08:46] {nemo} yeah, I put a stethescope to the snow, our shrubbery still shivering under the ice
[08:46] {Threei} freaky airstearms from north and south met, and resulted in snow that never reached the ground but looked impressively in the air

[09:26] {ScottM} just looking at ROVI... yesterday's close looks like it's right on intermediate term support on 6 month chart. On two day chart with 5 min. bars you can see a nice descending triangle where stock closed almost at opening low.
[09:26] {ScottM} Kinda looks to me like it's teetering on edge of cliff... thoughts?

[10:37] {_rambler} I'm not that smart....
[10:37] {ese} whats the snow situation in your neck of the woods up there in Cobble Hill
[10:37] {Threei} ese, just be thankful you don't have to drive to Sooke this morning
[10:37] {RonS} used to watch it like a hawk...sometimes it leads, sometimes follows and sometime concurrent
[10:38] {_rambler} nothing so far....
[10:38] {RonS} and sometimes it rains
[10:38] {RonS} or snows
[10:38] {Threei} Already, unofficial reports of 12 to 15 cm of snow have been received between Sooke and metchosin on highway 14 west of Victoria

[10:44] {ese} it's the poetic musician in me.
[10:45] {RonS} ese, in staistics they teach about correlation...
[10:45] {nemo} and to think, given your age, I thought it was plaque build-up in the brain
[10:45] {strider} stop to .00
[10:45] {dino} mad cow
[10:45] {dino} denny crane
[10:45] {RonS} if you did a time study going back 3-5 yrs i bet that you would have a correlation of ldk and the .vix at about 20% of the time
[10:45] {nemo} bovine encephalopathy
[10:46] {Threei} nemo underestimates the dissolving powers of vodka... ese and I, we keep out brains plague-free
[10:46] {RonS} human love to see causality where there is none
[10:46] {nemo} ese doesn't drink THAT much
[10:46] {ese} although i'm a percussionist....with a degree in percussion performance......crash crash bang....crash crashf bang.....some people just don't see the poetry in that.......i don't get it
[10:46] {nemo} and to not see causality where there is
[10:46] {Threei} patience refuses to drink it but we are determined to keep her healthy too, so we inject her dose
[10:47] {strider} stop bal +.12
[10:47] {ese} ya your probably right ron......just on of those bs luck corelation days with it

[10:49] {nemo} you haven't seen my birth certificate
[10:49] {ese} adding to yesterdays position
[10:49] {ese} lol

[10:52] {strider} may be a bit early
[10:52] {nemo} ?
[10:52] {RonS} i thought they were mostly gas...
[10:52] {strider} out 1/2 +.10
[10:53] {nemo} yes, but now that the strategic availability of oil is in question, and GAS has been incredibly cheap, it kinda' makes sense

06[10:55] * strider slaps ese around a bit with a large everything he can get his hands on.
[10:55] {ScottM} wild broccoli with cheese sauce can be especially deadly
[10:55] {Threei} totally, cheese masquerade is very effective
[10:56] {ScottM} yes, they often travel incognito
[10:56] {ese} which brings to mind the Monty Python skit...."How to protect yourself when being attacked by passion fruit"
[10:56] {nemo} use the penguin on the tele
[10:57] {Threei} brace yourself:
