Jun 02 2011

Not a stellar but still positive day. A few sudden news-caused movements disrupted normal market flow leaving us with no setups to enter. Those that appeared though were enough to keep us in green. What would we do without SLW to short.

Session Time: Thu Jun 02 00:00:00 2011
[08:35] {Threei}  *(US) INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: 422K V 417KE; CONTINUING CLAIMS: 3.711M V 3.68ME

[09:22] {dino} good
[09:22] {Threei}  first idea on bot is short
[09:23] {Threei}  small gap up feels to me so far as a reflexive reaction to all the selling yesterday, with selling pressure resuming very soon
[09:23] {nemo} Short:  SLW
[09:24] {nemo} nahhh...keep going up the thinking being....
[09:24] {nemo} nah, that's not gangrene, it's just a bruise

[09:32] {nemo} oy, buying on the bid it breaks .o4 not good
[09:33] {Threei}  stopped
[09:35] {Threei} Short Setup: RIMM  .45 break
[09:35] {Threei}  if stays under .55
[09:35] {Threei}  two-sided
[09:36] {Threei}  long it is
[09:38] {Threei}  wow
[09:38] {gregns} how strong it is
[09:38] {jfjf64} wow  it  is
[09:38] {Threei}  1:2, get out
[09:38] {Threei}  look at SPY
[09:39] {Threei}  here is a sneak peak into economic disaster looming:
[09:39] {Threei}  (CH) Former PBoC Advisor: Slowing economic growth might cause major systemic risks - financial press
[09:39] {Threei}  - China needs to sustain 8% to 9% gdp over the next decade

[09:40] {Threei}  - REMINDER on 5/19: Expected to soon receive a subpoena from prosecutors in the US related to the firm's mortgage business - US financial press
[09:40] {Threei}  was it perfect exit on RIMM or what?
[09:40] {rizvisy1} I really need to understand two-sided?
[09:40] {gregns} yup
[09:40] {jfjf64} yes
[09:41] {Threei}  riz, two numbers are given,
[09:41] {Threei}  in this case with RIMM:
[09:41] {Threei}  .45 and .55
[09:41] {rizvisy1} yes...
[09:41] {Threei}  break of .45 is short with stop above .55
[09:41] {Threei}  break of .55 is long with stop under .45
[09:42] {rizvisy1} ok, got it thanks
[09:42] {Threei}  whichever side triggers first, determines the play
[09:42] {Threei}  while of course invalidating the other
[09:42] {Threei}  thus, after .55 break I said
[09:42] {Threei}  [09:36] {Threei} long it is
[09:43] {Threei}  ok, here is interesting thing
[09:43] {Threei}  SPY is tanking
[09:43] {Threei}  no stock follow
[09:43] {jfjf64} hmm
[09:43] {Threei}  TZA or ERY seem to be the only valid way to play this
[09:43] {dino} tfm
[09:43] {rizvisy1} what is entry point since it already climbed well above .55 for long
[09:43] {Threei}  .55 break is trigger
[09:44] {Threei}  when it climbed "well above" it's time to exit
[09:44] {Threei}  thus the comment:
[09:44] {ese} dino coco is acting up.....
[09:44] {jfjf64} gs  tanking
[09:44] {Threei}  [09:38] {Threei} 1:2, get out

[10:33] {Threei}  taxx... pause for a minute and listen
[10:33] {Threei}  you don't trade on hunch, on price you like or chicken entrails
[10:33] {Threei}  you trade on valid setups
[10:33] {Threei}  was there a setup for your entry?
[10:34] {Threei}  was stop set properly?
[10:34] {Threei}  was it hit?
[10:34] {Threei}  was target reached?
[10:34] {_taxx31} no no no
[10:34] {Threei}  there you go
[10:34] {Threei}  it's irrelevant what happened after
[10:34] {Threei}  it's irrelevant that some price point appeared
[10:35] {Threei}  one, and only one thing matters:
[10:35] {Threei}  market instructed you to eneter and exit through certain action or not
[10:35] {_taxx31} thank you
[10:35] {Threei}  determine what that action is,
[10:35] {Threei}  how you read those instructions and how you react on them
[10:35] {Threei}  For us, it's a chart configuration
[10:36] {Threei}  where we have determined our triggers, stops and targets
[10:36] {Threei}  every call we make here is based on those
[10:36] {Threei}  whatever stock does in this or that trade is irrelevanrt,
[10:36] {Threei}  any given trade may or may not work
[10:37] {Threei}  but applying these setups for 11 years of this room existence we have consistent profiuts
[10:37] {_taxx31} yes sir
[10:37] {nemo} wow, he called you "Sir"
[10:38] {nemo} somebody get the smelling salts

[10:38] {nemo} some can type also
[10:38] {Threei}  I know it's a new concept for you {G}
[10:38] {Threei}  just as typing for me
[10:38] {nemo} remember that request for masochism?
[10:39] {Threei}  watch SLW for dive under .80, staying above .70 and recross of .80 for long
[10:39] {davd} yes, but "sir" in russian means something else
[10:40] {Threei}  close to "cheese" but pronounced a bit differently
[10:40] {dino} uvv sm l .90
[10:41] {Threei}  SLW, never mind that
[10:43] {samire} Dino....UW is not a valid symbol

[10:53] {dino} no follow thru today
[10:53] {ese} that 60K volume spike helped me make up my mind...capitulation
[10:54] {Threei}  feels to me like selling is about to return in the market
[10:55] {dino} random dance market
[10:56] {Threei}  today, yes
[10:56] {Threei}  a bit confused, looking around and not knowing which way to go
[10:56] {nemo} range day so far
[10:57] {Threei}  asking "how to determine where the south is by looking at the tree"
[10:57] {Threei}  and hearing back: if tree is a palm tree, south is right here
[10:57] {Threei} Short Setup: SLW  .70 break
[10:58] {Threei}  if stays under .80
[10:58] {Threei} Short Setup: RIMM  .80 break
[10:59] {Threei}  if stays under .90 of course

[11:07] {Threei}  feel fee to close the trade
[11:08] {ese} you called it chief.......mrkt selling off
[11:08] {Threei}  taxx, to cite an example of how the approach described earlier works
[11:08] {Threei}  two calls, both based on valid setups and general market read,
[11:08] {Threei}  one gets stopped for 7 cents
[11:09] {Threei}  another works for 30 cents
[11:09] {Threei}  40 actually, but we exited already
[11:09] {Threei}  RIM rinsed
[11:09] {_taxx31} yep
[11:09] {_taxx31} ty
[11:10] {Threei}  so this is just what you do.. go with valid setups and let market tell you what it is, stop or win,
[11:10] {Threei}  take either with no emotions
[11:10] {_taxx31} 1:4 out
[11:10] {Threei}  aside from occasional spitting in the monitor
[11:10] {ese} strange things happenin.........and only the shadow knows for sure.......

[11:10] {nemo} I start beating the bunny
[11:11] {ese} for spitin on it or cryin on it?
[11:11] {Threei}  and over time it's going to work for you in a consistent string of wins interrupted by occasional replacementof wiper blades
[11:11] {Threei}  SLW 1:5

[11:24] {Threei}  so far initial market read wasa right
[11:24] {Threei}  [09:23] {Threei} small gap up feels to me so far as a reflexive reaction to all the selling yesterday, with selling pressure resuming very soon
[11:24] {Threei}  now, if we make new lows, we have a good chance of selling panic returning,

[14:05] {Threei}  otherrwise you may enter such spike short at any point during this spike,
[14:05] {Threei}  all the way from 84 to 84.70
[14:05] {_taxx31} no i wait for first red candle on 2s
[14:05] {_taxx31} then switch to 5s for confirmation of chart rollover
[14:05] {Threei}  none here riz, no setup yet
