Jul 22 2011

Another nicely profitable day with one stop or 4 or 5 winning trades. As for afternoon boredom, I'll stop making this comment - just consider it default condition into August, most likely till after the Labor Day.

[10:16] {Threei}  lol
[10:17] {Threei}  next leg is coming
[10:20] {Threei}  By authorising a huge expansion in the bail-out fund that is propping up the EUs peripheral members (largely in order to stop the contagion spreading to Italy and Spain), the eurozone has taken the decisive step to becoming a fiscal union.
[10:20] {nemo} Vereinigung ueber Alles
[10:20] {Threei}  So long as the settlement is accepted by national parliaments, yesterday will come to be seen as the witching hour after which Europe will cease to be, except vestigially, a collection of nation states. It will have one economic government, one currency, one foreign policy
[10:21] {nemo} all run by the Germans, scary'
[10:21] {Threei}  yeah

[10:29] {Threei}  (US) Senate reaches enough votes to vote down the House republican debt plan; as expected

[11:16] {ese} block
[11:18] {ese} balance stop still at .40....gonna let it ride
[11:26] {ese} vad question........would you let HON ride till the end of the day or trail a stop?
[11:27] {Threei}  why is it mutually exclusive?
[11:27] {ese} ummmmmmm? ya got me there
[11:28] {ese} which in your vast experience has produced better results
[11:28] {Threei}  if you asked "take profit or let it ride"
[11:28] {Threei}  or
[11:29] {Threei}  "take profit or trail stop"
[11:29] {Threei}  question would have merit
[11:29] {nemo} cat
[11:29] {nemo} mcp
[11:29] {ese} hmmmmmmmm
[11:29] {Threei}  "let it ride or trail stop" - not so much, both are done in the same trade
[11:29] {Threei}  see what I mean?
[11:29] {ese} ya
[11:35] {Threei}  (US) President Obama: Spoke to White House laywers about using powers under the 14th Amendment to ignore the debt ceiling, conclusion is that this route is not viable
[11:35] {Threei}  - Warned that any failure to raise the debt limit could cause a new recession
[11:36] {Threei}  new?
[11:36] {Threei}  meaning old one is over?
[11:38] {_bobbyo} rimm .50 break?
[11:39] {Threei}  no
[11:39] {Threei}  let it pull back, look for aggressive entry near support
[11:39] {Threei}  closer to .40
[11:39] {_bobbyo} ty
[11:40] {Threei}  break on the go with no consolidation is not my forte
[11:40] {_bobbyo} bars of consolidation needed?
[11:41] {jfjf64} mhs
[11:43] {Threei}  no hard fast rule
[11:43] {Threei}  depends on too many variables
[11:43] {Threei}  but there should be something visually identifiable as consolidation
[11:43] {Threei}  you previous one had it
[11:44] {Threei}  this one simply came from .40 to .50 in three bars and immediately broke it
[11:44] {Threei}  when the resistance hasn't had time to establish itself,
[11:44] {Threei}  sucker in shorts, shake out longs,
[11:44] {Threei}  thus collecting future buyers that will enter on resiatance break fuelling the move
[11:44] {Threei}  it's not a valid setup
[11:46] {Threei}  do I make sense?
[11:46] {_bobbyo} I was thinking more of a cup pattern on this set up, but yes no handle. need to wait for the handle.
[11:46] {Threei}  right,
[11:46] {Threei}  and even if you think of C&H where cup was started at about 10:00
[11:47] {Threei}  and this one is the end of handle
[11:47] {Threei}  then the setup is not very, umm
[11:47] {Threei}  noble china
[11:47] {Threei}  since cup and handle are almost the same lenght
[11:48] {_bobbyo} ok didn'know that about the handle
[11:49] {Threei}  what to know... look at any cup :)
[11:49] {Threei}  as a rule, handles are smaller than cups, right?
[11:49] {Threei}  I mean real ones, not charts
[11:49] {_bobbyo} yes
[11:50] {Threei}  chart wise,, the length's significance is:
[11:50] {Threei}  pullback is being picked up by buyers eager for a break, thus handle has
[11:51] {Threei}  a) less depth than cup since buyers hit it earlier on pullback
[11:51] {Threei}  and
[11:51] {Threei}  b) less lenght since buyers hit it quickly using that pullback, faster returning price to the break level
[11:51] {Threei}  if thos factors are not there then buyers are not that eager
[11:52] {Threei}  it's just common sense of players' psychology as charts reflect it
[11:52] {Threei}  nothing of that fancy indicators stuff
[11:55] {_bobbyo} i understand thank you. When you have legitimate ch do you have measured move target from depth of the cup.
[11:56] {Threei}  sorry, niot sure I underatand
[11:56] {_bobbyo} Oh did you mean enough of that indicator bs?
[11:56] {ese} HON to .75
[11:57] {Threei}  see how RIMM would have stopped you
