Any determination that we have violated the FCPA could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

[10:13] {Threei} RIMM ignores market
[10:13] {ese} is it ever
[10:13] {rambler} 3i, how did you play X....?
[10:14] {Threei} when?
[10:14] {Threei} on that .05?
[10:14] {rambler} long setup .05 break
[10:14] {Threei} I didn't - it jumped instead of breaking, so I never got in
[10:14] {Threei} closest available price was .12, which is too much chasing
[10:15] {Threei} then it crashed straight down
[10:15] {Threei} from .18 tp .85
[10:16] {dino} gdot sm l .00
[10:17] {ese} L ldk. .05
[10:18] {Threei} Short Setup: SLW .20 break
[10:18] {Threei} if stays under .30
[10:18] {rambler} looks like I'm now an investor in X....
[10:18] {Threei} wow
[10:19] {Threei} I don't like the sound of it at all
[10:19] {Threei} why not get out when it lost support?
[10:20] {Threei} SLW 1:1, half out
[10:20] {ese} don't say that
[10:20] {rambler} I was waiting for your call...I thought you were in.....
[10:20] {Threei} come on, even if no comment in time as stock moves too fast, it loses suppoert - why stay in?
[10:21] {Threei} .90 - .95 zone was support
[10:21] {Threei} it borke it, get out
[10:21] {rambler} daily chart looks o.k......could be a good swing....
[10:22] {rambler} could be worse
[10:22] {Threei} that's rationalization
[10:22] {rambler} I know...
[10:22] {Threei} long term account is a cemetery of day trades gone bad
[10:22] {dino} i like that
[10:23] {rambler} Sorry, I guess I'm having trouble following the setups....
[10:23] {dino} not taking a loss will eat your soul bro
[10:23] {Threei} back away then,
[10:23] {Threei} take your time to get familiar with them
[10:23] {Threei} most of them are very standard
[10:24] {Threei} if there is no special comment about some difference in play, then it's cookie-cutter trade
[10:24] {ese} rambler.......i'm know it's 7:30 am here but get the whiskly out.......i'm commin to see ya
[10:24] {RonS} gdot v sm l .80
[10:24] {rambler} sounds good....
[10:24] {Threei} and those are managed by standard procedure
[10:24] {Threei} support, resistance,
[10:24] {Threei} break of resistance is entry,
[10:24] {Threei} break of support is stop or invalidation,
[10:25] {Threei} 1:1 is take scalp or partial out and trail stop
[10:25] {Threei} etc
[10:25] {dino} tns sm l .50
[10:26] {Threei} look at SLW on the last call
[10:26] {rambler} all good, after yesterday I cut all lots in half.....
[10:26] {Threei} .20 support, break of it is short entry,
[10:26] {Threei} .30 resistance,
[10:26] {Threei} thus 1:1 is reached at .10
[10:26] {Threei} scalpers took profit there, day traders partialed and trailed stop to above .20
[10:27] {Threei} if it tanks further, 43 will be 1:2 for 1/4 more out
[10:28] {dino} hsft sm l .60
[10:28] {Threei} (LB) US military official highlights challenge of establishing a no fly zone in Libya; France military official rules out military action against Libya without a UN mandate
[10:28] {Threei} - Note: This echoes similiar sentiment from other countries about creating a no fly zone to help dissuade the Libyan Govt from bombing its citizens
[10:29] {RonS} hsft has mags type spread

[10:48] {rambler} got a little back on the bounce...small loss...
[10:48] {ese} thats a good out
[10:49] {Threei} so, you treated it as separate play, but used it to diminish a loss of a first entry, dumping both positions into bounce? did I get it right?

[11:15] {RonS} rambler...X rarely goes straight in one direction. Here I waited for break and re-test for entry

[11:27] {rambler} are you still in...?
[11:27] {Threei} no
[11:28] {Threei} wasn't intended as "milk trade"
[11:28] {Threei} and secondary setup on .50 breakdown never formed right
[11:32] {Threei} The Goldman Sachs Group Inc Ticks lower following reports the SEC has filed suit against a director on insider trading charges - financial press

[11:37] {_iamspartacus} to stay above at close 12,200
[11:37] {Threei} fo SPY, it seems to be 130
[11:37] {dino} gj ron
[11:38] {Threei} if/when it comes to it, it's going to be a decisive moment
[11:38] {dino} yes, as in lunch now or in an hour
[11:38] {Threei} hold it, bounce and resume rally, or break it and change the major trend
[11:38] {_iamspartacus} yes
[11:38] {Threei} that's from daily
[11:38] {Threei} not for today
[11:39] {_iamspartacus} personally, i dont see major reversal of trend until fed stops qe
[11:39] {_iamspartacus} or until people start to see the end
[11:39] {Threei} I am talking about charts... you - about events
[11:40] {Threei} different animals
[11:40] {_iamspartacus} yes
[11:40] {_iamspartacus} but the two feed into one another
[11:40] {Threei} and don't forget,
[11:40] {_cleto} nvax giving it all back , nearly
[11:40] {_iamspartacus} charts are independent of events to some relative degree
[11:40] {Threei} if it's that obious, it must start be factoring in the price before actual event
[11:40] {_iamspartacus} not absolutely
[11:40] {_iamspartacus} yes
[11:40] {Threei} otherwise it would be sooo simple... read th paper, take position
[11:40] {_iamspartacus} but its not obvious yet
[11:41] {Threei} everyone who can read would be a zillionare in no time
[11:41] {_iamspartacus} we're talking probabilities
[11:41] {_iamspartacus} of course
[11:41] {_iamspartacus} not certainties
[11:41] {Threei} why not? link between QE and market going up is established by every media including Playboy
[11:42] {_iamspartacus} playboy?
[11:42] {_iamspartacus} ok
[11:42] {Threei} kidding :)
[11:42] {Threei} but the idea that market will reverse the day QE stops is widely accepted
[11:42] {_iamspartacus} but im not fighting the fed, 90 billion per month is a huge fight to take on
[11:43] {_iamspartacus} yes
[11:43] {_iamspartacus} fairly widely accepted. its not a secret
[11:43] {Threei} Short Setup: LVS .10 break
[11:44] {Threei} if stays under .20

[11:59] {Threei} as far as I am concerned, I take it with no emotions in my own trading,

[12:06] {Threei} with cover 43.60
[12:07] {kschun} ah see, great stuff man!
[12:07] {kschun} mr. money :-)
[12:07] {Threei} hey, no one tells ks about stops in the morning, OK?
[12:07] {kschun} LOL
[12:07] {Threei} let him stay delusional :)
[12:07] {kschun} I am always delusional :-)
[12:08] {Threei} so we won't ruin it for you
[12:08] {rambler} "roll another one....just like the other one......"
[12:08] {Threei} LVS actually starts looking like aother short opportunity
[12:08] {Threei} let's see if clean setup forms here
[12:08] {nemo} Little Feat
[12:08] {strider} I wish you'd pick another stock....can't short LVS here.
[12:09] {Threei} ugh
[12:09] {nemo} Well, there was agu
[12:09] {strider} I don't want to agu with you, nemo.
[12:09] {Threei} rofl
[12:09] {nemo} swords at 20 paces
[12:15] {_cleto} test
[12:16] {strider} written or oral?
[12:17] {_cleto} got me
[12:17] {Threei} (US) Fed's Bernanke: Fed policy does not debase the USD; reiterates continuous review of QE2 - Q&A- It is not practical to return to the Gold standard
[12:17] {_cleto} thought i was listening to a football game there for a moment
[12:17] {Threei} no, Fed policy does not debase USD
[12:18] {RonS} twgp blood dino
[12:18] {_cleto} twgp
[12:18] {Threei} repeat that three times every morning, spitting over your left shoulder and chewing the bone from left ear of a bat collected on full moon
[12:19] {dino} watching it, stopped on it earlier
[12:19] {dino} also watching, rovi, hsft, fosl, deck
[12:20] {Threei} Short Setup: FCX .75 break
[12:20] {Threei} if stays under .85
[12:23] {strider} .73 is lod
[12:23] {kschun} lod?
[12:23] {kschun} sorry...
[12:23] {kschun} low of day?
[12:23] {strider} fcx
[12:23] {Threei} invalidated
[12:24] {Threei} yes strider, idea was:
[12:24] {Threei} not very aggressive entry in terms of being far from lod,
[12:24] {Threei} but some aggressiveness in order to get easier fill
[12:24] {strider} gotcha
[12:25] {Threei} and if .75 was broken, there was a very little chance for .73 to hold
[12:31] {dino} deck sm l .32
[12:33] {ese} I miss anything
[12:34] {dino} fosl sm l .28 ave
[12:34] {nemo} see if we get a right side shoulder on spy
[12:35] {kschun} @dino: could you may just tell what "sm l .28 ave" means?
[12:35] {kschun} sorry
[12:35] {nemo} sm=small l=long .28=price ave=average
[12:35] {nemo} sm=400 shares
[12:35] {kschun} o.k. thanks!

[12:54] {Threei} LVS

[12:54] {Threei} watching for long on this opullback

[12:59] {dino} rovi stopped -.30
[13:01] {kschun} VTR loosing support
[13:01] {kschun} will not gona try it
[13:03] {rambler} good spot for LVS...any time now....
[13:03] {Threei} yes, watching
[13:03] {Threei} Long Setup: LVS .30 break
[13:04] {Threei} if holdin .20 for scalpers, .15 day traders
[13:05] {dino} out fosl .27 -.01
[13:08] {_cleto} out of lvs.. small loss
[13:08] {dino} cedcapp lod
[13:08] {Threei} yeah, not clear still
[13:09] {_cleto} cedc might be a good one for the cemetery but waiting for below 15
[13:10] {dino} fosl tricked me

[13:12] {jfjf64} ya long lvs
[13:14] {_iamspartacus} lvs still valid?
[13:15] {Threei} hard to tell
[13:15] {Threei} let's wait out this period of uncertainty
[13:15] {rambler} out LVS....
[13:16] {jfjf64} was gettin worried thought ya playin with ya camera
[13:16] {jfjf64} lol
[13:16] {nemo} spy still holding downward trend lien
[13:16] {nemo} line
[13:17] {Threei} (US) US Govt regulators have come to an agreement on future home lending regulations; will require 20% downpayment for qualified residential mortgages, which still must be ratified by congress
[13:17] {Threei} - CNBC's Olick- Of the 20% downpayment, half must be from the homeowner, and the other half can be a gift
[13:18] {nemo} that's weird
[13:18] {jfjf64} whats that gonna do
[13:18] {nemo} yeah, really
[13:19] {nemo} makes as much sense as a screen door on a submarine
[13:21] {rambler} LVS breaks 43.....bounce here...?
[13:22] {kschun} may long after repush over .10 ?
[13:23] {nemo} what are your internals saying sneeze
[13:23] {Threei} no
[13:23] {kschun} all short
[13:25] {rambler} needs vol
[13:25] {kschun} adv minus dec showing some sign for bottom, until now nothing that would bring me agressively to the long side
[13:27] {dino} deck stopped -.30
[13:27] {nemo} LVS held that drop
[13:28] {patience} watching goldcorp, someone keeps smacking it down whenever it gets close to 48.40 and huge lot at 48.50 slaps down attempts beyond that
[13:37] {kschun} QCOM nice little consolidation
[13:42] {Threei} market is no longer feels to me like preparing to bounce
[13:42] {Threei} rather new lows
[13:43] {nemo} staying under trend on spy
[13:44] {Threei} LVS new lows
[13:53] {nemo} wow...interesting site studiomultitracks.com
[13:54] {patience} out half G, stop loss for remainder
[14:01] {Threei} X
[14:01] {Threei} long off this pullback
[14:01] {Threei} Long Setup: X .60
[14:01] {Threei} stop under .50
[14:04] {Threei} if missed first time, same setup is valid now
[14:04] {Threei} as long as holds abive .50
[14:09] {Threei} no go
[14:13] {Threei} Short Setup: RIMM .65
[14:13] {Threei} if stays under .75
[14:14] {_cleto} short at .62
[14:16] {Threei} 1:1
[14:17] {_cleto} chicken, stepping aside on RIMM with a scalp
[14:17] {_cleto} ok
[14:17] {Threei} hey, live chicken is much better than dead lion
[14:17] {_cleto} yessir
[14:17] {nemo} speaking of: saw a great translation of an African saying
[14:18] {nemo} A lion wakes up knowing he won't survive unless he can run faster than the slowest gazelle
[14:18] {Threei} if there were a didecated traders' cemetery, tumbstones would covered with one standard signature: He was brave trader
[14:18] {nemo} A gazelle wakes up knowing it won't survive if it can't run faster than the fastest lion
[14:18] {Threei} dedicated too
[14:18] {nemo} So, whether you're a lion or a gazelle, you better start running
[14:19] {nemo} we need the Les jpg
[14:20] {RonS} what is that?
[14:20] {Threei} it's where it always was... but it's not as funny without context
[14:20] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/vad/LES.JPG
[14:20] {RonS} classic
[14:21] {Threei} RIMM 1:2
[14:21] {rambler} been there...got the pic....

[14:21] {Threei} me out in full
[14:21] {Threei} ron :)
[14:22] {_dukulal} hold on its gonna break 50ma on 3min chart
[14:22] {Threei} RIMM?
[14:22] {_dukulal} yes
[14:23] {Threei} breaking
[14:23] {Threei} I don't want to be in here though
[14:23] {Threei} a bit overstretched on a short side from .70, and knowing RIMM, snapbacks cab ne extremely vicious
[14:24] {Threei} also, have a look where RIMM and SPY are in their respective day ranges
[14:24] {Threei} SPY tests the lows, RIMM bounced to mid range
[14:24] {Threei} a lot of relative strength in this one today
[14:25] {_dukulal} i moved my stop to 43
[14:25] {_dukulal} ok 40 now
[14:26] {_dukulal} stopped
[14:26] {Threei} good trail
[14:27] {_dukulal} thanks
[14:27] {Threei} see the snap? that's what this thing does
[14:27] {_dukulal} bad fill
[14:27] {Threei} over 20 cents in one breath
[14:27] {_dukulal} yup
[14:28] {_dukulal} probably it will close red
[14:29] {Threei} most likely, but have to give it points for bravery
[14:29] {Threei} went up in the rmoning even though market was dropping off a cliff
[14:29] {Threei} and this bounce from 13:25 selloff was nothing short of stunning
[14:31] {_dukulal} bvn?
[14:31] {Threei} a bit too narrow
[14:31] {strider} long slw .42
[14:32] {strider} stop .20
[14:34] {_dukulal} target on slw?
[14:34] {strider} I hope you didn't take that trade
[14:35] {_dukulal} i did
[14:35] {_dukulal} 46
[14:36] {strider} you shouldn't take trades without evaluating them by your own standards.
[14:36] {patience} goldcorp trying for high of day again
[14:37] {strider} I post these for my benefit only.
[14:37] {_dukulal} out
[14:37] {_dukulal} nice scalp
[14:38] {Threei} {strider} I post these for my benefit only {--- what kind of egotistical attitude is thatr
[14:39] {Threei} altruism is dead
[14:39] {nemo} selfish bastid
[14:39] {nemo} no such thing 3i
06[14:39] * Threei slaps strider around a bit with a large doese of dead altrusim
[14:39] {patience} there we go, ate through massive order
[14:39] {strider} just don't want anyone to lose on my account.
[14:40] {nemo} no pun intended
[14:40] {Threei} but you aree OK with us losing in ours, right?
[14:40] {nemo} should be spy bounce here a bit
[14:40] {strider} ou t 1/2 .60
[14:40] {RonS} gj
[14:40] {Threei} wtg
[14:41] {RonS} u selfish bastid...
[14:41] {RonS} :D
[14:41] {strider} stop .50
[14:41] {Threei} lol, and strider just honestly tried to warn... that'll teach anyone about how good intentions are punished here
[14:42] {nemo} yeah, ask me
[14:42] {strider} sorry, duk.....I've not been doing well today, and it scared me that you had taken my trade.
[14:42] {Threei} you and good intentions in the same line is the biggest oxymoron I could think of
[14:42] {strider} Normal days, I always win, though.
[14:42] {Threei} almost as big as me and broccoli in the same line
[14:43] {nemo} yeah, and strider has about 3 normal days a month
[14:43] {RonS} lol
[14:43] {strider} did you have to tell them that?
[14:43] {Threei} lol
[14:43] {nemo} who you talkin' too?
[14:43] {strider} should have put an asterisk beside the word
[14:45] {strider} I think I should just trade from 11-3.
[14:47] {strider} offer 1/4 .69
[14:47] {_dukulal} i have been trading solely on 3 min bars with 50 sma and candles so far its good for my scalping, Does any one has any idea about improving this
[14:47] {strider} a mightly struggle
[14:47] {strider} mighty too
[14:48] {Threei} that's way too broad question duk
[14:48] {Threei} simply referring to a time frame doesn't tell us anything about method
[14:49] {Threei} what serves as a criteria for entry and exit, what kind of setups you deploy, rismk control, taregts
[14:49] {Threei} and about 35 other questions
[14:50] {strider} cancel
[14:50] {strider} offer .73
[14:50] {_dukulal} i have a simple method, i put 5..6 stocks on watch list, wait for them to cross below or up 50 sma on 3 min chart. I conform on next candle after crossing
[14:51] {_dukulal} enter the trade and get out with 10 to 20 cents
[14:51] {Threei} and it works?
[14:51] {strider} out 1/4 .73
[14:51] {_dukulal} most of the time
[14:52] {Threei} most of the time is good
[14:52] {Threei} all good approaches work most of the time
[14:52] {strider} I like that.
[14:52] {Threei} except strider's that works all the time
[14:52] {_dukulal} and i only trade 200 shares
[14:52] {strider} right...
[14:53] {Threei} but he won't share it...
[14:53] {strider} that's *"all the time"
[14:54] {strider} I just use the 'take all winning trades" button on my computer.
[14:55] {strider} top to .60 slw
[14:55] {strider} stop
[14:55] {_dukulal} pbr
[14:55] {strider} a little early in the day, isn't it?

[14:57] {nemo} I can't think of a good time to open one of those
[14:57] {nemo} dreck
[14:57] {strider} I agree, nemo.
[14:57] {strider} Unless you need to water the plants.
[14:57] {nemo} it'll kill them

[15:02] {nemo} and that might be insulting the skunk
[15:02] {strider} =Reingold
[15:03] {nemo} looks range bound at the moment duku
[15:04] {strider} If I were going to trade it I'd short, with stopp above .55
[15:04] {strider} but I'm not.
[15:04] {nemo} oh jeez...their are faith based etfs wheres my frickin gun
[15:04] {nemo} there are

[15:06] {_dukulal} good call on pbr strider

[15:06] {nemo} let me get my hemmrrhoid pillow
06[15:07] * Threei hits x over the head with 2x4
06[15:09] * Threei guides X to the edge of the cliff and pushes it over
[15:09] {strider} I saw that!

[15:15] {Threei} .05
[15:16] {Threei} market is down a lot
[15:16] {Threei} don't want to get caught in snapback
[15:17] {nemo} it's at the bottom of the gap from 25th, way below s3 snap back very likely
[15:17] {Threei} (LB) US Defense Sec Gates: Sending two amphibious ships with Marines to the Mediterranean Sea in order to aid with any evacuation or humanitarian needs
[15:17] {Threei} - Official: Seeing no agreement among NATO members on what actions to take to deal with Libya. Imposing no-fly zone in Libya would be complicated.
[15:17] {nemo} However, spy and IWM yet to break downtrend
[15:18] {Threei} got a bit greedy, should have just taken a scalp
[15:18] {Threei} feels like market reversal is coming
[15:18] {kschun} yeap, good prob. for reversal
[15:18] {nemo} I'm betting .40 into the close
[15:19] {strider} long slw .52
[15:19] {Threei} Long Setup: RIMM .45 break
[15:19] {Threei} if stays above .35
[15:19] {Threei} not a scalp
[15:19] {Threei} can do .70 - .80 easy
[15:20] {Threei} let's partial along the way though
[15:20] {strider} in .47
[15:20] {Threei} stop under .35, first partial's around .60

[15:34] {Threei} someone did buy those big sizes and agreed to pay offer price, right?
[15:34] {kschun} since I observed: bigger sizes traded at the ask
[15:34] {Threei} gosh CEDC.. maybe vodka really isn't good for you, eh?
[15:34] {kschun} on the ask someone absorbing shares, showing less then he is taking
[15:34] {kschun} mixed signals

[15:52] {Threei} considering how classy the venue is, it's a huge compliment

[15:54] {jfjf64} ha ha
[15:54] {Threei} I couldn't find more expensive agent, but I figured she will cost me anyway, so why not
[15:54] {Threei} market ends at the low
[15:55] {Threei} maybe topping process finally takes place
[15:55] {jfjf64} they donttknow ya sit in front of computer all day and eat bacon
[15:55] {RonS} hope you sell enough to buy her a new Bosendorfer...
