Very nice day with quite a few winning trades. Boring second half of the day but what else is new on the slow climb days.
Session Time: Wed Oct 05 00:00:00 2011
[08:55] {Threei} contagion may have already started as Dexia could inject the virus of debt crisis to the core European members.
[08:55] {Threei} Three months after the bank was given a healthy clean bill from the European stress tests, it was announced that Dexia would be restructured.
[08:56] {Threei} tells you a lot about how useful and truthfuil those tests are
[08:56] {z} gm 3i, nemo, pragmatic :)
[08:56] {Threei} z :)
[09:10] {nemo} zed
[09:16] {Threei} Read this and tell me, am I wrong comparing this market to a junkie longing for another bailout fix?
[09:17] {Threei} - Risk appetite improved dramatically over the last 24 hours aided by commentary from Fed Chairman Bernanke that QE remained on the table and a vague report that the Euro Zone was considering options to prevent a banking crisis.
[09:17] {z} seriously that's a good analogy
[09:17] {z} 3i
[09:18] {Threei} I am master of good analogies... you should see my Whistler audience gasping as I raised my hands - hammer in one, big nail in another
[09:18] {Threei} all to illustrate the point about technical analysis being just a tool not working by itself, just as hammer wiouldn;'t drive the nail in the table until I started using it
[09:24] {Threei} shaky opening
[09:24] {Threei} unsure market
[09:24] {Threei} dancing around flat
[09:24] {Threei} a little green, a little red... let's observe first minutes
[09:31] {Threei} FCX, impressive red candole
[09:31] {Threei} let's try to short the big green one
[09:31] {nemo} is that a candle or canole?
[09:31] {Threei} between .80 and .90
[09:31] {Threei} needless to say, half lot
[09:32] {Threei} in
[09:32] {Threei} .79
[09:32] {Threei} stop above .90
[09:32] {Threei} no go
[09:33] {pragmatic} did you call FCX ?
[09:33] {pragmatic} what was the entry ?
[09:33] {Threei} ?
[09:33] {Threei} look up
[09:33] {pragmatic} did you stop using colors ?
[09:34] {Threei} Short Setup: FCX .20 break
[09:34] {nemo} it's an open call pragmtic, gotta' pay attention
[09:34] {Threei} .35 stop
[09:35] {Threei} target 31.80 or so
[09:35] {nemo} volatility
[09:35] {Threei} nope, out

[09:39] {Threei} if stays above .30
[09:39] {Threei} 1:1
[09:42] {Threei} 31% have confidence in Obama economic advisers, 19% have favorable opinion of Treasury Secretary Geithner
[09:43] {Threei} I lost a track on % of idiots...
[09:44] {pragmatic} well, 100-31-19 = 50% :)
[09:44] {Threei} nope
[09:44] {Threei} there must be overlap in those two numbers
[09:44] {Threei} some of those who like timmy have also confidence in advisers
[09:44] {Threei} SLW
[09:45] {Threei} looking for sahort entry
[09:45] {Threei} doji with .60 low...
[09:45] {Threei} Short Setup: SLW .60 break
[09:45] {Threei} 1:1
[09:45] {Threei} that was easy

[09:51] {Threei} sigh
[09:51] {Threei} exchanging jabs with market
[09:51] {Threei} one for us, one for it
[09:51] {nemo} what I see is market wants to go long, but waiting on the number
[09:59] {Threei} keep an eye on SLW for .90 break
[09:59] {Threei} hopefully AFTER the numers
[09:59] {Threei} don't want to jump in right before those

[10:10] {Threei} crap, just as I typed
[10:10] {Threei} lol
[10:10] {Threei} let's see if it bounces a bit toward 23
[10:10] {Threei} ideally .90 - 23 range to short .90 break
[10:10] {Threei} here we are
[10:11] {Threei} Short Setup: RIMM .90 break
