[13:32] {Threei}  Yahoo! Inc Testing new search feature that display instant results as you type - financial press-
[13:32] {Threei}  This would be similiar to the search update Google implemented, "Google Instant," introduced last Sept. http://search.yahoo.com/
[13:32] {Threei}  - Follow up: Yahoo formally announces Search Direct. This new feature, currently in beta, taps into Yahoo!s unique opportunity to combine content and structured data and to provide a rich search experience. Search Direct predicts search results as fast as a person types, character by character, and presents those results dynamically, generating a fast, simple search experience that goes beyond a list of blue links. Search Direct rolls out in a public beta to Yahoo! users across the U.S. today, and will be available in other Yahoo! products and markets later this year.

[13:56] {Threei}  it looks just as good as google
[13:58] {Threei}  friking SLW
[13:58] {Threei}  rinsed
[13:59] {Threei}  my fault actually
[13:59] {Threei}  shouldn't have tightened stop
[13:59] {Threei}  hit target 1:2
[14:03] {Threei}  what, no one to cast a stone??
[14:04] {nemo} hehehehe, spy and IWM hit targets and pulled back
[14:14] {Threei} Short Setup: CAT  107 break
[14:14] {Threei}  half lot
[14:16] {Threei}  Attention:  CAT  add half lot on .95 break

[14:20] {kschun} hy all!
[14:20] {Threei}  hi ks
[14:21] {strider} 1st target?
[14:21] {kschun} are you in any trade?
[14:21] {Threei}  want couple more cents strider
[14:21] {Threei}  alternatively, treat each half as separate tyrade
[14:21] {strider} .85?
[14:21] {Threei}  1:1 for first half
[14:21] {Threei}  right here
[14:22] {Threei}  covered half
[14:22] {Threei}  .86
[14:22] {strider} .85
[14:22] {Threei}  short CAT, ks
[14:22] {Threei}  stop to above 107
[14:22] {Threei}  somewhat unusual method of entry guys, I'll explain thinking process when done
[14:23] {Threei}  well, whatever goes for thinking in my case
[14:23] {kschun} ah thanks vad
[14:24] {dino} nxy drop
[14:26] {Threei}  out second half
[14:26] {dino} nxy sm l .76
[14:26] {Threei}  oversat a bit, it reached it's 1:1 too
[14:26] {Threei}  got greedy
[14:30] {Threei}  OK, the idea behind this way of entry:
[14:30] {Threei}  things are quite shaky, movements are pretty random,
[14:31] {Threei}  so I didn't want to commit to a trade before it proved itself,
[14:31] {Threei}  especially wirh we are talking about liquid stock like CAT, with tight enough stop
[14:31] {nemo} spy and iwm hare hanging around their daily pivot, but spy hitting trendline
[14:31] {Threei}  so, what I wanted to do wasL
[14:31] {Threei}  take "test" shares, half lot, with tigt stop,
[14:31] {Threei}  then either get stopped on half lot
[14:32] {dino} random dance markets
[14:32] {Threei}  or add another half IF it proves itself by moving our way, bouncing, then brteaking this new mini-support
[14:32] {Threei}  so it triggered,
[14:32] {Threei}  bounced off .95,
[14:33] {Threei}  topped out at .04 or so
[14:33] {nemo} gmcr popped
[14:33] {Threei}  and break of .95 became a triogger for second half
[14:33] {Threei}  strictly speaking, at that ppint stop could be trailed to this new resistance, .05
[14:33] {Threei}  or left in place.
[14:34] {Threei}  Worked out nicely, excpet I slept through second exit
[14:34] {nemo} tck
[14:34] {Threei}  but that's advanced age problem, falling asleep at random moments
[14:34] {nemo} long .66?
[14:34] {Threei}  50/50
[14:34] {nemo} in
[14:35] {Threei}  any questions about that one?
[14:35] {Threei}  it's not exactly our cookie-cutter trade, so making sure you understand the, umm, thinking
[14:36] {strider} there was thinking?
[14:36] {Threei}  see the "umm" part
[14:36] {strider} ummm...
[14:38] {nemo} frickin stopped dead
