[15:03] {_rahulprakash1} just my second day here, but most of the calls move very fast, not giving a chance for entry...at least to me
[15:03] {_rahulprakash1} and for many I can't see the patterns that are talked about in the courses and books sent to me
[15:04] {Threei}  executions is a matter of right software and practice
[15:04] {_rahulprakash1} seems that you are working at more micro level than a 1min chart like u see something on L2 & T&Sales...which i can't
[15:04] {Threei}  chart patterns - ask
[15:04] {Threei}  no, all calls are based on 1 min charts
[15:04] {_rahulprakash1} ok i will ask away

[15:09] {Threei}  [14:27] {Threei} I think so
[15:10] {_rahulprakash1} oh didnt realize it was a call...didn't have standard format. let me look at chart
[15:10] {stewy} cya les
[15:10] {Threei}  just a trade we discussed that worked out nicely
[15:11] {Threei}  Les spotted it, not me, so no official format'but he spotted same setup as we often use
[15:11] {Threei}  RIMM before that was the same
[15:11] {_rahulprakash1} yep i see the breakdown setup on that
[15:15] {beau} rimm now?
[15:17] {Threei}  not dure
[15:22] {RonS} US House Energy and Commerce panel votes 33-20 to advance plan to fast-track Keystone XL Pipeline; bill heads to full House
[15:27] {nemo} it will get vetoed at Obama's desk, and will never get through Reed's senate
[15:29] {Threei}  that's the idea
[15:29] {Threei}  it's not designed to pass
[15:29] {Threei}  it's designed to score political points
[15:30] {nemo} yeah, but it won't get any pub
[15:30] {nemo} only Fox will talk about it
[15:30] {Threei}  it will during election
[15:30] {nemo} nope
[15:30] {beau} bet it will be approved after election
[15:31] {Threei}  how do you make a contender not to make it a point during debates?
[15:31] {nemo} depends on who wins the election...plus if the Canadians have already closed a deal with the Chinese, it's dead
[15:31] {Threei}  hard to say
[15:32] {Threei}  I think Canada has a way to leave the door open
[15:32] {beau} will be but more voters will approve change in route.
[15:32] {RonS} ...would be a tough sonofagun to punch a pipeline over those mountains...
[15:33] {beau} I live at the Texas end.  Oil execs here and Houston say will be after election
[15:34] {dino} look crr, drops to 91 and bounces to 96
[15:34] {dino} lots of stocks are doing these crazy ass moves lately
