Mar 07 2011

Beautiful day to start the week - one 10 cents stop and a lot of fat profitable trades, including SLW morning violin played in both directions. One of the later trades made Catch of the Day below.


Another example of "milk trade" - setup is self-explanatory for anyone who observed our bread-and-butter setups. We have covered it for 1:5 risk/reward, and it continues even lower as I type this.




Session Time: Mon Mar 07 00:00:01 2011
[08:47] {Threei}  (EU) EU's Rehn: Sees a case for lower rates on bailout loans for Ireland and Greece- Need to look into loan maturities to take countries further than the 2014/15 funding.

[09:11] {davd} they need to re-phrase the error messages.  "not permitted" because dino can't type?
[09:12] {Threei}  then I'd have to add distinctions like "because we don't like you," "because we have to have some fun" etc

[09:24] {Threei}  (US) Fed's Fisher: May vote to halt further bond purchases before the June deadline, believes QE2 may be counterproductive
[09:24] {Threei}  - Would certainly vote against extending bond purchases under QE2 past the June deadline.
[09:24] {Threei}  - More accomodation could actually hurt the US economy.
[09:24] {Threei}  - Only fiscal policy can aid in job creation.
[09:24] {Threei}  - Congress needs to take painful steps to cut the budget deficit, US economy is afflicted with negative impact of budget deficits.

[09:31] {Threei}  (US) Fed's Lockhart: A serious increase in oil prices is not the most likely scenario, but Fed might need to ease again if oil goes too high
[09:31] {Threei}  - US economy can absorb some increases in crude prices.
[09:31] {Threei}  - Housing prices may continue to move lower.
[09:31] {Threei}  Fed might need to ease again if oil goes too high?

[12:01] {rambler} practical stuff......
[12:02] {Threei}  I'd rather focus on trading, and leave technical stuff of scanner to its developers
[12:02] {Threei}  they do excellent job
[12:03] {rambler} just looking for an overview.....I've never used a real time scanner before.....
[12:03] {rambler} always 15 min delayed stuff
[12:03] {Threei}  it's easy part
[12:04] {Threei}  will take you one day max to get comfortable with it
[12:07] {rambler} LVS close to mid Dec support.....
[12:09] {dino} wow 15 min delay will kill you
[12:10] {rambler} works ok for breakout setups......
[12:10] {rambler} put charts on watchlist and just keep flipping thru them
[12:11] {rambler} labour intensive
[12:11] {rambler} thats why I'm here....
[12:12] {Threei}  huh
[12:12] {Threei}  I thought we were here to talk fashion trends
[12:13] {rambler} I'm a one trick pony, needing a couple more tricks.....

[12:17] {strider} that's simple
[12:17] {rambler} nice job.....
[12:17] {dino} ty
[12:20] {Threei} Short Setup: LVS  .50 break
[12:21] {Threei}  potential milk trade

[12:36] {dino} vrus continues
[12:36] {rambler} rest to run .....
[12:36] {Threei}  more room for discretion,
[12:37] {Threei}  sometimes if it moves very stringly, I may give first half a few more room than 1:1,
[12:37] {Threei}  and with last portion main difference is:
[12:37] {Threei}  I don't trail it beyond breakeven until stock comes to the final stratch,
[12:37] {Threei}  and don't take 1:3,
[12:38] {Threei}  instead starting tightenting stop
[12:38] {Threei}  and waiting for a steep move
[12:39] {rambler} but safe to say that at 1:1, usually 1/2 out....?
[12:40] {rambler} sorry for all the dumb questions this a.m......
[12:40] {Threei}  normally, yes
[12:41] {Threei}  if I feel very strongly that it shouldn't be taken, I will comment

[13:46] {Threei}  huh?
[13:46] {Threei}  these guys are incoherent
[13:47] {jfjf64} take the $ and run
[13:47] {Threei}  Exile for Muammar Gaddafi would spark civil war?

[13:55] {Threei}  I seriously would like to see how they cslculated that 20%
[13:56] {Threei}  my bet is, someone looked in the ceiling and said: what kind of number will sound like we did some due diligence, yet won'r scare the hell out of everyone
[13:57] {Threei}  folks sitting around the table started throwing in some numbers: 30%? - nah, too big, sounds scary... 14%? - nah, too optimistic
[13:57] {Threei}  20! just right

[15:55] {rambler} Vad, is this type of action usual for LVS.....?
[15:56] {Threei}  like what?
[15:56] {rambler} been watching it close for an hour, seems quite predictable compared to most.....
[15:57] {dino} vads' atm
[15:57] {Threei}  well, there is a reason why it's on our usual suspects list for quite a few months already
[15:57] {Threei}  lol

[15:58] {strider} unlike rimm....which was unusually tame this morning.
[15:59] {rambler} havn't used bollinger bands before, seem to work with this one......
[15:59] {Threei}  BBs is a beauty
[15:59] {Threei}  when you know what they are for
[16:00] {Threei}  try to use them as price movement predictor, you are in for a bitter disappointment - as qwith any tech indicator
[16:00] {Threei}  apply them right, they are great help
[16:00] {Threei}  think of it... people saying "this or that indicator doesn't work"
[16:00] {Threei}  in fact are saying:
[16:01] {Threei}  I have a hammer, gues what - it doesn;t work
[16:01] {Threei}  it didn't put any nails inthe wood
[16:01] {dino} out mdas -.01out rp .78, +.03
[16:01] {Threei}  have yo taken it in the hand and used it?
[16:01] {Threei}  no, I expect it to work by itself
[16:02] {Threei}  that's what those who say "indicator doesn't work" in fact say
[16:02] {rambler} very interesting......
[16:02] {Threei}  ok guys, thank you all

[16:04] {rambler} Vad, do I need a code to watch the videos in the trading course?
[16:04] {Threei}  code?
[16:04] {Threei}  codec?
[16:04] {rambler} video codec
[16:05] {strider} you need a translator.
[16:05] {Threei}  what OS do you have?
[16:05] {kschun} What do your photocamera, frying pan and stochastic have in common?
[16:05] {kschun} vad article LOL

[16:06] {Threei}  some of latest Windows OS can't play these videos in Media Player. Universal solution is GOM Player which is free and can be downloaded at http://www.gomlab.com/eng/GMP_download.html
[16:06] {rambler} windows 7
[16:06] {Threei}  ok, that player should resolve it
[16:06] {rambler} thanks much, see you tomorrow....
