(Course on chart pattern recognition is available now: http://www.realitytrader.com/111trades.html)  

 Beautiful day with a lot of nice winning trades, a few of them 1:3. One made a Catch of the Day, but honestly, could have done two or three of them. Nailed the theme of the day to the T:
[09:21] Threei so, Greece deal is done, and market is barely up 
[09:21] Threei strongly feels like after opening volaitily is over, selling should hit in earnest

[11:31] {Threei}  You don't like cats? Youprobably just don't know how to cook them
[11:32] {Threei}  being a cat person, I hate it... gotta remake it to "people"
[11:34] {Threei}  btw, part of the deal is cheaper flights between China and Canada
[11:34] {RonS} so, will patience be back?
[11:34] {Threei}  gota start looking into some tours
[11:34] {Threei}  haven't heard from her in a while
[11:35] {cipher} cov irbt .20 +.08 not working
[11:35] {Threei}  now, will this become an election issue?
[11:35] {Threei}  Harper has said building pipelines to the West Coast � such as the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway oilsands pipeline and a separate one for liquefied natural gas � is a national priority as Canada looks to ship its vast resources to Asia.
[11:35] {Threei}  Enbridge CEO Pat Daniel said the commitment by the Chinese and Canadian governments for a strategic energy partnership will allow Canada to diversify its oil-and-gas export markets beyond the United States and enable China to broaden its supply base.
[11:49] {cipher} l irbt .00
[11:49] {Threei}  As of writing, it appears that the Greek government has managed to strike a deal to pass all the required austerity measures, after contentious, down-to-the-wire negotiations (at least one government minister has resigned over the deal and nation-wide strikes are in the works). Now euro zone finance ministers, including Greece's Venizelos, are meeting in Brussels to hash out the release of the second bailout package.
[11:49] {Threei}  great
[11:49] {nemo} lunchtime buy
[11:49] {Threei}  keep your poker face Greece
[11:50] {Threei}  get that package
[11:50] {Threei}  greedy bastards must be punished
[11:55] {cipher} out irbt flat
[12:02] {dino} for down 12, it doesn't range much
[12:06] {Threei}  LVS new highs
[12:06] {Threei}  53 break was fairt setup chart wise
[12:07] {Threei}  felt like pushing our luck to me
[12:09] {stewy} i feel lucky just takin a bite outta the middle
[12:21] {_mark1} does the chart on lvs thinking up here?
[12:21] {Threei}  it's dancing around support
[12:21] {Threei}  posibly forming BMR or double bottom
[12:22] {_mark1} ok sorry term BMR
[12:22] {Threei}  break of 53 long is a reasonable trade
[12:22] {Threei}  one of our setups... bounce with mini-range
[12:23] {Threei}  chart is right, time of the day is not
[12:23] {_mark1} ok tysm
[12:23] {Threei}  so, kind of discretionary trade
[12:24] {_mark1} ty will watch and learn then
[12:27] {Threei}  see how it got rejected?
[12:28] {Threei}  lunch time, introduces a lot of randomness in standard setups
[12:28] {_mark1} yep
[12:28] {Threei}  follow-through is created by trading masses, and they are largely dormant right now
[12:29] {Threei}  that's why majority of our trades fall into window of first two hours and lat hour
[12:29] {Threei}  you could see in the morning trades working one after anpther, with just one stop
[12:30] {Threei}  want to give back all those profits, continue pushing during this comatose time
[12:31] {Threei}  doesn't mean there is no trades to be found at all,
[12:31] {Threei}  but gotta be more picky and keep it nimble
[12:31] {Threei}  btw, emember tat new window alert I started testing yesterday?
[12:31] {Threei}  double bottom one
[12:32] {Threei}  have a look at its latest find:
[12:32] {stewy} is slw popping up?
[12:32] {Threei}  SCO, alert generated at 12:06
[12:33] {Threei}  SLW is 50/50 here... can break down or bounce with equal odds
[12:33] {Threei}  my personal bias is on breakdown
[12:34] {Threei}  but not convincing enough for a call
[12:34] {stewy} thx I am heeding the lunchtime advice
[12:34] {Threei}  back to SCO... see the cleanest DB setup with .40 break as an entry trigger?
[12:34] {Threei}  stop under .30
[12:35] {Threei}  made 1:3 easy
[12:35] {Threei}  GRPN alert now
[12:36] {Threei}  still testing parameters so not trading it just yet
[12:36] {Threei}  but alert would look like this:
[12:36] {Threei} Long Setup:  GRPN  .40 break
[12:36] {Threei}  if stays above .30
[12:37] {_mark1} where you basing becuase about .40 it held steady?
[12:37] {Threei}  it touches .40 from below a few times, gets rejected,
[12:37] {Threei}  so .40 becomes a resistance
[12:37] {Threei}  brwak of which triggers a long trade
[12:38] {Threei}  .30 support defined at 12:18
[12:38] {Threei}  so the whole structure of the trade is created
[12:38] {Threei}  like a skeleton
[12:39] {Threei}  nearest resistance is merely 10 cents away, .50
[12:39] {Threei}  so, pesky scalpers that irritate usso much will take profit there
[12:39] {Threei}  day traders will partial there and trail stop
[12:40] {Threei}  and wait for .50 break which if happens should catapult it
[12:40] {Threei}  for about 20 cents more at least
[12:43] {Threei}  Goldcorp Inc. (USA) Chairman: Price of gold could reach $2,500/oz in 2012
[12:44] {Threei}  I'd take it more seriously if it weren't GG Chairman
[12:45] {Threei} Long Setup:  LVS  53 break
[12:45] {Threei}  half lot
[12:46] {Threei}  if stays above .90
[12:47] {Threei}  invalidated
[12:47] {Threei}  for now at least
[12:48] {Threei}  guys, that link with chart qworks forthose without facebook account?
[12:48] {Threei}  http://goo.gl/QibmD
[12:48] {_mark1} going to leave now but sina moving up
[12:48] {Threei}  I have a setting allowing anyone to see it but somehow it works for some, doesn't for others
[12:49] {_rahulprakash1} i have facebook but wasn't logged in to the browser and yet it showed me the chart
[12:49] {_rahulprakash1} what setup was for LVS?
[12:49] {Threei}  ok, ty
[12:49] {Threei}  pullback entry
[12:50] {Threei}  if someone can't see that link, I'll repeat it in trading log after market close
[12:50] {Threei}  SINA is dino's stock
[12:50] {Threei}  pulp
[12:50] {_rahulprakash1} wouldn't pullback require a first move in direction of entry? Immediate large move for LVS was down...
[12:50] {Threei}  hmm?
[12:51] {Threei}  rapid move up,
[12:51] {Threei}  pullback, consolidati\okon
[12:51] {dino} qcor drop
[12:51] {Threei}  it topped out at about .30
[12:51] {Threei}  pulled back under 53
[12:51] {Threei}  conasolidated
[12:52] {Threei}  -a
[12:52] {Threei}  see what I mean?
[12:52] {Threei}  dino, watching SINA?
[12:53] {_rahulprakash1} nope i don't see it vlad
[12:53] {Threei}  sorry... which part?
[12:53] {_rahulprakash1} high of 53.3 at 9:08am
[12:54] {Threei}  high at 53.30, you see that?
[12:54] {Threei}  12:08
[12:54] {Threei}  let's operate in NY time
[12:54] {Threei}  so it's unified across the board
[12:54] {_rahulprakash1} moved down from there to low of 52.93 at 9:20
[12:54] {_rahulprakash1} yah ok
[12:54] {Threei}  yes
[12:54] {Threei}  this is bpullbackk from high
[12:54] {_rahulprakash1} 12:20 low of 52.93
[12:54] {_rahulprakash1} yes
[12:55] {Threei}  then it consolidated for a while
[12:55] {Threei}  formed resistance at 53
[12:55] {Les} miners just dbi'd
[12:55] {Threei}  break of which became a long terigger
[12:55] {_rahulprakash1} then it consolidated/pulledback to high of 53.03 at 12:25
[12:55] {_rahulprakash1} and the did another leg down
[12:56] {_rahulprakash1} to low of 52.83 at 12:30
[12:56] {Threei}  wait
[12:56] {_rahulprakash1} and since then it has been chopping between52.85 to 52.98
[12:56] {Threei}  you are starting to dig out into fine details of a setup
[12:57] {Threei}  zoom out a little to the big picture
[12:57] {dino} qcor sm l .74
[12:57] {Threei}  you can see the whole thing as a pullback from the high and consolidation, right?
[12:58] {_rahulprakash1} i see what u mean
[12:58] {_rahulprakash1} to me that is less of a pullback  but more of a reversal since the depth is quite a bit
[12:58] {Threei}  OK
[12:58] {_rahulprakash1} V reversal
[12:59] {Threei}  it may be a reversal or it may be a pullback
[12:59] {Threei}  no one knows for sure
[12:59] {_rahulprakash1} pretty much as I am seeing it, LVS is in a downtrend since 12:08
[12:59] {Threei}  that depends on your time frame
[12:59] {_rahulprakash1} yeh i see your point
[13:00] {Threei}  any pullback is a downtrend in a smaller timeframe
[13:00] {_rahulprakash1} just in my world view the depth of that down move is way too much  compared to first up move since morning for it to be pullback
[13:00] {_rahulprakash1} i am looking at today/1min chart
[13:01] {Threei}  that's debatable... you may view upward move as a $1.30 wide
[13:01] {Threei}  from day's low
[13:01] {Threei}  then why 30 cents drop wouldn't be a pullback?
[13:01] {dino} out qcor .04, +.30

[13:02] {Threei}  wtg
[13:02] {dino} ty

[13:03] {Threei}  no Les
[13:03] {cipher} grpn
[13:05] {_rahulprakash1} yes i see ur point vad in terms of $1.4 vs 0.3
[13:06] {Threei}  cool... don't zoom in too much on the chartt when look for general configuration, make sure that you see the whole day
[13:06] {Threei}  zoom in only to see a fine details of the setup
[13:15] {Les} APKt 33 BREAK?
[13:15] {Threei}  half lot
[13:15] {nemo} vwap at 33.10

[13:50] {Les} just thinking how befitting for your tombstone
[13:50] {Les} "couldn't tell - it was 50/50"
[13:51] {Threei}  hmmm... I am 50/50 on that
[13:52] {Les} An ironic and perhaps irrespectful memory of such a solid trading system built
[13:53] {Les} but it beats "no les, no more"...
[13:53] {Threei}  well... I guess I don't care much whether it lives after my departure
[13:53] {Threei}  because you know
[13:53] {Threei}  There are two kinds of people. Those who need closure
[13:54] {Les} and those that need a new trading room leader...
[13:54] {Les} keep away from the bacon vad...
[13:54] {Threei}  kidding?
[13:54] {Les} POT 46 b/d?
[13:54] {Threei}  why live then

[13:55] {Les} yeh right, it's dead isn't it
[13:55] {Threei}  if SPY picks a direction and runs with it, maybe
[13:55] {nemo} 50/50 les
[13:55] {Threei}  hehe
[13:55] {Les} :)
[13:58] {Threei}  SLW would have been a trap

[14:26] {Les} TCK b/d if returns above .80?
[14:26] {Les} or even .75 with some consolidation
[14:27] {nemo} looks more like a short, in a market that won't go down, so it might be a frustrating long
[14:28] {Les} yeh wondering if it screw me like that. SPY looking like a JBE at .55
[14:28] {Les} or it fails
[14:35] {cipher} l grpn .59

[14:50] {Threei} Short Setup: FDX  95 break
[14:50] {Threei}  if stays under .10
[14:51] {Threei}  and if it doesn't work, it's your fault

[14:53] {nemo} just don't let Vad get behind you
