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



Nice strong day for us. Wanted to go into long weekend with a solid buffer of a good mood, so was especially picky and it paid off.


Session Time: Fri Feb 17 00:00:00 2012
[08:54] {stewy} gd morning
[08:54] {Threei}  morning stewy
[08:56] {nemo} gild active
[08:57] {Threei}  jumpy one, careful
[08:57] {Threei}  small shares stock
[08:58] {stewy} question on mirc: when logged on, window should show 'JTC' and #floor and #discussion, right?
[08:58] {nemo} I may not even trade today...father's television watching woke me up 3 times during the evening...I expect my head to smash the keyboard fairly soon
[08:59] {Threei}  yes stewy
[08:59] {stewy} ok thanks
[08:59] {Threei}  beau, do you have mirc set up?
[09:00] {Threei}  if yes, sound alert is a matter of a few clicks from there
[09:03] {cipher} can these sounds be filtered based on the room?
[09:04] {cipher} i couldn't get it working yesterday
[09:05] {cipher} I'm continuing to explore the idea od a script instead...
[09:07] {MigC}  good morning
[09:07] {beau} vad, not really.  messed with it some, need to spend some time doing
[09:08] {cipher} ideally what i'd like to do is this...
[09:09] {cipher} if vad says the word "setup" I want to hear the sound
[09:09] {cipher} but if anyone else says the same word i want it to be silent
[09:11] {Threei}  migc :)
[09:11] {Threei}  yes cipher
[09:11] {Les} setup
[09:11] {Threei}  right click on my nick
[09:11] {Threei}  tab Info
[09:12] {Threei}  tab Highlight
[09:13] {Threei}  check box Enavle
[09:13] {Threei}  ckick Add
[09:13] {Threei}  type the word Setup
[09:13] {Threei}  configure behavior
[09:14] {Threei}  (EU) ECB swap of Greek bonds said to have been completed
[09:15] {cipher} ok vad can you pls say "setup"
[09:15] {Threei}  yes
[09:15] {Threei}  why would you doubt my ability to say it?
[09:15] {Threei}  setup
[09:15] {cipher} lol
[09:16] {cipher} ok it worked
[09:16] {Threei}  someone else pls?
[09:16] {cipher} now can someone other than vad say it?
[09:16] {cipher} please
[09:16] {nemo} say what?
[09:16] {cipher} setup
[09:16] {beau} setup
[09:16] {cipher} heard the sound both times
[09:16] {nemo} type it?  say it where?
[09:16] {nemo} setup
[09:17] {cipher} so no good
[09:17] {Les} seetup
[09:17] {cipher} i will have the script ready today...
[09:18] {cipher} it will filter based on who says te word
[09:18] {Threei}  change to "long setup"
[09:18] {cipher} I have the rough version working, just need some minor adjustments
[09:18] {nemo} you also have to have sounds enabled in the general tools=}options menu
[09:18] {Threei}  and "short setup"
[09:18] {Les} you might have to make variations on it, to account for Vad's english
[09:19] {Threei}  that will cut down greatly on false alerts
[09:19] {cipher} i know but that's not sexy enough for me :-)
[09:19] {Threei}  lol
[09:20] {cipher} i don't like the possibility of errors
[09:20] {cipher} 100% or notin
[09:20] {Threei}  try line containing both threei and sdetup
[09:20] {Les} there, you see
[09:21] {cipher} in the script I can filter based on channels
[09:21] {cipher} so if I say play sound only on text in #floor
[09:21] {cipher} its quite simple
[09:22] {rahulprakash1} morning
[09:24] {Threei}  rahul :)
[09:25] {Threei}  so... slow climb day?
[09:25] {Threei}  or we find a reversal

[09:27] {Les} you've got resistance lined in here Nemo
[09:27] {Les} SPY 136.5
[09:27] {Threei}  well, plan then is:
[09:27] {nemo} .50 area
[09:27] {Threei}  short first during opening volatility,
[09:27] {Threei}  then reversal to long,
[09:28] {Threei}  then staying with long setups off pulbacks
[09:28] {Threei}  X and FCX don't participate in this spike of last minutes

[10:57] {Threei}  136.10 is crtitical level for SPY
[10:58] {Threei}  if loses it, TZA should work
[10:58] {thomcbell} why do u think vad
[10:59] {thomcbell} if feel like risk reward not there with 135.85 level that has been tested many times below
[11:00] {Threei}  there is a lot of room from 136.10 to 135.85...
[11:01] {Threei}  (GR) EU's Juncker: Far away from objective of cutting Greece debt-to-GDP ratio to 120%

[11:06] {nemo} not saying it won't work, but I would think 136 is an area they might try to defend

[13:17] {Threei}  quite possible, with my own occupying attention
[13:17] {nemo} ahhh...dino...
[13:17] {dino} yeah, glad you did. hope nobody got hurt by me.
[13:17] {nemo} why are you pushing on op ex friday before a long weekend
[13:17] {dino} because i am an idiot
[13:17] {Threei}  we don't say idiot. we say special
[13:18] {nemo} Last thing I would think to call you
[13:18] {dino} no, trust me, my earlier trades today were idiotic
[13:18] {nemo} I'm looking at the indexes I follow:
[13:18] {Threei}  I suggest to institute the term "steromoron"
[13:19] {dino} lol
[13:19] {Threei}  inspired by oxymoron, and meaning moron on steroids
[13:20] {nemo} Their percentage of volume on average for this time of day on a friday are down 52% for iwm  40% for spy 36% for gdx 40% for DIA, only the QQQ relative volume is up
[13:20] {Threei}  notice that slow climb in SPY has begun

[13:25] {nemo} Dino get insulted?
[13:27] {Threei}  by your insistent that he shouldn't call himself idiot?
[13:27] {Threei}  insistence
[13:28] {nemo} I didn't insist anything, I said it would be the last thing i thought to call him
[13:29] {Threei}  that's insulting
[13:43] {nemo} guess he's over the hissy fit
[13:44] {Threei}  lol
[13:44] {Threei}  dino, you want to slap him yourself or trust me to do it?
[13:45] {nemo} Greeks rage over erosion of sovereignty

[13:47] {Threei}  why?
[13:48] {Threei}  FBI sting operation arrests Moroccan man who allegedly planned a suicide bombing in the US Capitol - Fox News
[13:48] {Threei}  - FBI agents posing as associates of Al-Qaeda assisting him in his plot, provided the suspect with what he believed to be an explosive vest, but was actually packed with inert materials. The suspect was arrested as he was on his way to the Capitol building.
[13:50] {andj} Good morning...
[13:50] {nemo} wtf
[13:51] {Threei}  hi andj
[13:51] {andj} I´ve been reading your 111 book
[13:51] {Threei}  it's 10:50 on our coast nemo
[13:51] {nemo} I've got another one for you It's called "666"
[13:51] {Threei}  how does it go andj?
[13:52] {andj} I get the idea
[13:52] {nemo} way ahead of me then
[13:52] {andj} just trying to clear up a few points of confusion
[13:52] {Threei}  well, you should stop playing drinking game with it, nemo
[13:53] {Threei}  I mean wrod "setup" alone can put you in rehab
[13:53] {Threei}  go ahead andj, ask
[13:53] {andj} ok
[13:54] {andj} My question is really about the price point in any give set up...
[13:54] {andj} sorry...any given setup
[13:55] {Threei}  yes?
[13:55] {andj} what causes the price to go in the direction of the setup?
[13:55] {nemo} supply and demand
[13:56] {andj} I was watching yesterday when you scalped .35 from TCA (i´m not sure which stock it was)
[13:56] {Threei}  psychology of market participants, resulting in supply and demand rebalancing and reflecting itself in chart patterns
[13:56] {dino} i keep getting kicked off mibbit
[13:57] {Threei}  looks stable
[13:57] {dino} out gild .80, +.30 took forever
[13:57] {Threei}  TZA that was
[13:57] {andj} You called the play at .05 but the price had dropped...how did you know it was going to go up?
[13:57] {Threei}  think about it this way:
[13:58] {andj} was there a big order on the level 2?
[13:58] {Threei}  chart pattern is not the reason for the movement,
[13:58] {Threei}  movements have their own patterns,
[13:58] {Threei}  and obsering charts we find them
[13:58] {Threei}  Movement patterns are patterns of human behavior
[13:58] {Threei}  nom, level 2 has nothing to do with it
[13:59] {Threei}  it was a frequently seen chart pattern, that's all
[13:59] {Threei}  one of those we use regulartly
[13:59] {Threei}  one of those you see in that course
[13:59] {andj} seriously?  The other market participants don't know what you were doing?
[14:00] {Threei}  whole course is showing you those patterns and hos to structure your trades based on therm
[14:00] {Threei}  huh?
[14:00] {nemo} in a stock that trades that much on a daily basis, no way
[14:00] {Threei}  why would anyone know what I was doing?
[14:00] {Threei}  everyone acts on his/her own ideas
[14:01] {Threei}  they watch their charts, their indicators
[14:01] {Threei}  whatever they use to mnake their decisions
[14:01] {Threei}  combined, it all adds up to the market behavior
[14:02] {Threei}  I am not sure I understand your confusion
[14:02] {dino} andj, think about this, how do the other market guys even know of vad?

[14:49] {Threei}  you've got all my comments or wantme to repost the end?
[14:50] {andj} please repost...sorry
[14:51] {Threei}  [14:00] {Threei} why would anyone know what I was doing?
[14:51] {Threei}  [14:00] {Threei} everyone acts on his/her own ideas
[14:51] {Threei}  [14:01] {Threei} they watch their charts, their indicators

[14:51] {Threei}  end
[14:53] {andj} i don't understand it either...that's probably why i´m stuck:)
[14:54] {Threei}  suggestion then
[14:54] {Threei}  why do you need to find out why?
[14:54] {Threei}  master using the chart patterns,
[14:54] {Threei}  ask yourself or me why they work after that
[14:55] {Threei}  after all, your task is to learn to trade or find out why this or that method works?
[14:55] {Threei}  let's be practical and pragmatic
[14:56] {Threei}  you can cross the street on green light without knowing all the intricacies of the traffic light electrical wiring, right?
[14:56] {cipher} ghdx l .00
[14:56] {andj} I could also get hit by a bus if I get the answer wrong:)
[14:57] {andj} but i get you...i´ll learn the patterns first
[14:57] {Threei}  not really - you know that you can cross on green, and the result doesn't change depending on whethner you know how the wires are connected to a light
[14:58] {Threei}  you switch gears while having very vague idea of how transmission works
[14:58] {andj} the gear analogy makes me feel safer!
[14:58] {Threei}  and majority of people flip the light switch successfully,
[14:59] {Threei}  ask how many of them undertsnd what happens when they do
[14:59] {andj} i can do that
[14:59] {Threei}  my bet is, 1%
[14:59] {andj} 1% of what?
[14:59] {Threei}  1% undertsand what happens when they flip the light switch
[15:00] {Threei}  yet 100% achieve the result
[15:00] {andj} That's some Darth Vad stuff...
[15:06] {andj} So if I trust the patterns and act accordingly then the result should be the same, right?
[15:07] {Threei}  the same as what?
[15:09] {Threei}  LVS breaking down

[15:09] {andj} Well I should make money, which is the point?
