Mar 05 2012

  About flat day for us, with stops and wins more or less balancing each other.

Session Start: Mon Mar 05 08:29:12 2012

[08:53] {Threei}  OK... I made my peace with idea of waking up
[08:54] {Les} glass of vodka might help
[08:54] {nemo} good idea
[08:55] {Threei}  how do you think I made that peace?
[08:56] {Les} where's the date stamp option again Vad? TIA
[08:56] {Les} time stamp too
[08:56] {Threei}  right click on the button with vhannel name
[08:57] {Les} ty
[09:02] {Threei}  FCX
[09:02] {Threei}  trying to break
[09:03] {Threei}  while we have time,
[09:03] {Threei}  http://photography.realitytrader.com/2012/03/butterfly-gardens-again.html
[09:06] {Threei}  if you followed the gold discussion over the weekend, here is a quote I wanted to post, but decided against it for the time being:
[09:06] {Threei}  Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile! -Kurt Vonnegut
[09:10] {thomcbell} love that 
[09:10] {Threei}  :)
[09:10] {Threei}  goldbugs are often sensitive bunch
[09:11] {Threei}  and Vonnegut is a bit too left of center for my taste, but I can forgive anything for such a brilliant book as Sirens of Titan
[09:12] {Threei}  still looking around but feels like FCX short will be first trade
[09:12] {MigC}  good morning
[09:13] {Threei}  Migc :)
[09:13] {Les} Yeh me old man is a fundamentalist Catholic. When he tells me he knows the truth I am forced to bite my tongue...
[09:14] {Threei}  when I look at goldbugs arguments for gold being only salvation, I can't help but see unending parallels with any other bubble
[09:14] {Les} so I ain't gonna bet the farm on gold...
[09:14] {Threei}  it's always so obvious
[09:14] {Threei}  oil was totally peaking in 2008, there was no way whatsoever for it to ever drop
[09:15] {Threei}  price was going to go to 200
[09:15] {Threei}  300
[09:15] {Threei}  500
[09:15] {Threei}  only lazy and illiterature ones did not project higher and higher prices
[09:15] {Les} well we know commodities spike just before the market crashes...
[09:15] {Les} so I anticipate a precious metals spike...
[09:16] {Les} but as to the degree of the spike...?
[09:16] {Threei}  all-knowing insiders working in the field for their whole life predicted endless rise too
[09:16] {Threei}  remember the guy running huge fund,
[09:16] {Threei}  "no way oil loses 120"
[09:16] {Threei}  "no way oil loses 100"
[09:16] {Threei}  when it hit 80 he had to close the fund
[09:16] {Threei}  with huge losses for his investors
[09:17] {Threei}  and friking thing proceeded all the way to 30
[09:17] {Threei}  no one know where the spike ends Les, that's the point and and that's what makes whole thing tick
[09:18] {Threei}  how could it go to that high if it were in anyway predictable?
[09:18] {Les} I'll just stick with the charts...
[09:18] {Threei}  if you know for sure that $2013 is the high you offer it at 2012
[09:18] {Threei}  and you neighbor undercuts you at 2011
[09:18] {Threei}  and his does the same at 2010
[09:18] {Threei}  you lower to 2009
[09:19] {Les} yeh, but what concerns me more is the pain that can be inflicted by self-interested oligarchies as we saw in Russia circa 1999
[09:19] {ese} morning........just poping in before i go to man an"information Line"...not picket line...."information line...go figure
[09:19] {Threei}  thus, the very idea that the high is figurable makes it impossible for the price to reach that high
[09:19] {Threei}  morning ese
[09:19] {Les} musicians of the world unite Ese?
[09:20] {Beau} good morning you all
[09:20] {Threei}  beau :)
[09:20] {ese} i'll be in your neck of the woods this saturday Les.....landing in Milan Sat night
[09:20] {nemo} for what ese?
[09:20] {Threei}  Les, 1999 russia default? what makes you think it was seklf-inflicted by oligarchs?
[09:20] {ese} holiday....with the wife and kids ....2 weeks in Italy
[09:21] {Threei}  hmmm anyone feels like smacking ese with trout?
[09:21] {ese} huh?........whad i do?
[09:22] {ese} aside from the fact that i don't remember how to trade 
[09:22] {Threei}  you didn't take me with you as a personal photographer
[09:22] {Threei}  well, we will retrain you upon your return
[09:22] {ese} hmmmmmmm.........
[09:23] {Les} sounds like the hard life ese
[09:23] {Threei}  notice that #floor is defunct for the time being guys
[09:23] {Threei}  Alert got lost in cyberspace
[09:24] {Les} bye bye fcx
[09:24] {Threei}  server crashed on Sunday... restarted all the services but Alert is on rescucitation table still

[10:02] {Threei}  hmmm... wanna bet?
[10:02] {Threei}  the only way Greece won't need a third bailout is if it defaults after second

[10:53] {_goryl} Vad, i'm new to laser, how do you execute an order to go long above the current market price.  I'm used to limit orders but if I do that it executes the order at the current price, not my limit price.
[10:53] {_goryl} I've used Interactive Brokers in the past.
[10:54] {Threei}  you don't send the orfer in advance for that
[10:54] {Threei}  click entery price limit a cent or two above the break point,

[11:05] {nemo} we don't know that
[11:05] {Threei}  and in case full image hasn't formed yet, nemo's motto is:
[11:06] {Threei}  There is no such thing as overkill. Dead is dead.
[11:06] {cipher} mon l .83
[11:07] {nemo} Actually, to add to color:  Martial arts guys call the master shot the 1 strike kill
[11:07] {nemo} I like:  The master shot isn't to kill him, that's the easy way out.  It's to cripple and debilitate them such that they suffer for the rest of their life....that's my kinda' guy
[11:08] {Threei}  Israel PM: Israel must be able to defend itself by itself; US and Israel are in agreement on Iran nuclear issue

[12:10] {Threei}  TNA starts looking like big break at .50
[12:10] {Threei} Long Setup:  TNA  .50 break
[12:10] {Threei}  if stays above .35
[12:14] {dino} ppo blood
[12:14] {Threei}  (PT) Egan-Jones downgrades Portugal to B-
[12:15] {Threei}  Portugal: Who??
[12:15] {Threei}  TNA invalidated for now
[12:15] {dino} wlt blod
[12:15] {dino} blood
[12:16] {_goryl} vad, where do you route ur orders for nasdaq and nyse, through who?  sorry my background is in futures..
[12:17] {Threei}  I normally use NASDAQ route
[12:18] {Threei}  it may not be optimal from cost saving point of view in some cases
[12:18] {Threei}  but it's effective, fast, reliable
[12:18] {dino} wow bvsn drops 6+ then goes back to positive
[12:19] {nemo} nice spread
[12:19] {Threei}  just make sure that you enbale route out, so it sweeps all available ECNs
[12:19] {cipher} manipulation
[12:19] {Les} where is that located Vad?
[12:19] {andj} Vad why is the morning so busy and the afternoon so slow?
[12:20] {nemo} nature of the market
[12:20] {Threei}  because most activity is concentraded in the morning...
[12:20] {cipher} people step out to eat lunch andj
[12:20] {Threei}  right click on level 2 les
[12:22] {Les} aah, so I click on all ECN's in the route out column?
[12:25] {Threei}  right, check the boxes
[12:25] {Threei}  without it ECN hits only itself
[12:25] {Threei}  with it, sweeps all others
[12:25] {cipher} the route out column applies to nasdaq only?
[12:25] {Threei}  no, all of them
[12:27] {cipher} no wonder I was getting bad fills.. only had a few checked
[12:28] {Les} ty
[12:29] {cipher} one other thing with laser I never figured out is how to enter stop loss order
[12:29] {Threei}  OMS module
[12:29] {cipher} where is that?
[12:29] {Threei}  under Modules in menu
[12:29] {nemo} there's also an order type in the LII window called "STOP" I believe
[12:30] {Beau} vad critic me on tna-break 56.10  stp 56  targ 56.20
[12:30] {cipher} ok
[12:30] {Threei}  we may have different versions thouigh
[12:30] {Threei}  do you have OMS unde there?
[12:30] {cipher} yes
[12:30] {Threei}  ok
[12:30] {Threei}  beau... kind of marginal setup
[12:31] {Threei}  may work, may fail with about equal odds
[12:31] {Beau} didn't take just learning
[12:32] {Les} 3 min MACD trend on TNA says down since .50. Needs to reestablish itself.
[12:32] {nemo} vwap at .96 tna
[12:32] {nemo} 56.00 not a level that close to vwap
[12:32] {Beau} thks
[12:33] {nemo} imo...you have to watch iwm to trade tna
[12:33] {Les} ditto IWM
[12:33] {Beau} makes sense
[12:33] {Beau} not cents
[12:33] {nemo} long at .00 with stop under .95 or so might be worth a scalp, but also watch spy, because if spy looks like it's going to drop usually iwm isn't going up
[12:34] {dino} panl s, l .02
[12:34] {cipher} so vad I should enter stop orders through OMS module rather than from L2 window?
[12:35] {nemo} Hey Beau, you ever take a look at the levels I post in the Blog?

[14:31] {nemo} between you and me, I wouldn't be playing breakouts in that today
[14:32] {Threei}  Les, it spikedf vertically into .50 from .20
[14:32] {Threei}  this is not a breakout you want to play
[14:32] {Les} yeh I see that.
[14:32] {nemo} he must have been point man in his army squad
[14:32] {Les} was too
[14:32] {nemo} yeah, you like getting shot
[14:33] {Les} back to chess

[14:52] {Les} do you have a cat thing Vad, or is it only your cat u like?
[14:53] {Threei}  hmmm
[14:53] {Threei}  good question
[14:53] {Threei}  no, I like most of them :)
[14:55] {rambler} Vad, FCX here....?
[14:56] {Les} LOL TNA
[14:56] {Threei}  here we go
[14:56] {Threei}  see how differently it acts when it consolidated closer to break level?
[14:56] {Les} yeh and this time I ignored it
[14:57] {Les} crap
[14:58] {Threei}  I don't know why... this wass legitimate one, vs previous
[14:58] {Les} yeh, still learning
[14:58] {Threei}  breakout requires consolidation
[14:58] {Threei}  sharp spike = exhaustion,
[14:59] {Les} nice, .40 gained...
[14:59] {Threei}  thus breakout on the upper end of sharp spike = trap
[14:59] {Les} I just thought this time would be different :P
[14:59] {nemo} tomorrow will be a big up day
[15:00] {Threei}  unless something happens overnight
[15:00] {nemo} yeah, if not, every bear better cover before the end of the day
[15:03] {Threei}  let's see if FCX gives us the same type of break
[15:03] {Threei}  want one more little pullback
[15:03] {Threei}  staying above .40
[15:03] {Threei}  then break of .50
[15:04] {thomcbell} lvs looks interesting long here vad
[15:04] {Threei}  .70 break?
[15:04] {nemo} 13136.93 is level on spy, above that 137.10
[15:04] {nemo} iwm 80.57
[15:04] {Threei} Long Setup:  FCX  .50 break if holding above .40
[15:08] {dino} out meli .18, +.66
[15:08] {Threei}  wtg
[15:08] {dino} opps .64
[15:08] {dino} ty
[15:08] {Threei}  beau, does sound alert work?
[15:08] {Threei}  I take it back dino... merely 64 vents...
[15:08] {Threei}  cents
[15:08] {Threei}  66, that was impressive
[15:09] {Beau} nope. getting a burp from just about everyone
[15:09] {Threei}  64, nah
[15:09] {Beau} no pattern I see.  
[15:09] {Threei}  huh... can't be
[15:09] {Beau} Will try again tonight.  thought I folowed your inst.
[15:09] {Threei}  you configured it for line containg words "long setup" and "short setup"?
[15:09] {Beau} yes sir
[15:10] {Threei}  anf it beeps for any line, even without those?
[15:10] {Beau} yep
[15:10] {thomcbell} i need the instructions too 
[15:10] {Threei}  ok, that's really weird
[15:10] {Beau} and from everyone when they start
03[15:10] * Looking up Threei user info...
[15:11] {Beau} figures
[15:11] {cipher} beau fyi I made custom scripts
[15:11] {Beau} and nemo, noticed I called vad sir
[15:11] {cipher} separate sound for vad and everyone else
[15:12] {cipher} workslike a charm
[15:12] {Beau} would like to see.  not familiar with scripts.
[15:12] {Threei}  ok, I'll remove myself from this then and address you to cipher
[15:12] {cipher} it's really easy I can show you after the close
[15:13] {Beau} good.
[15:13] {Threei}  cipher, maybe send a script and instructions to me also so I place it ona sebsite together with mirc instruvtions, so you don't have to do it more than once?
[15:13] {nemo} tza might be worth a risk here,
[15:14] {cipher} yes will do
[15:14] {nemo} only problem is I don't expect iwm to drop more than .10
[15:20] {Threei}  FCX is valid
[15:20] {Les} so here is same spike into 57 break for TNA
[15:21] {Threei}  tbell, took LVS?
[15:21] {Threei}  well, the difference is:
[15:22] {Threei}  look how well 56.50 was established as a resistance, throughout whole day
[15:22] {Threei}  57 is less defined
[15:23] {nemo} Les, very interesting resistance here on spy
[15:23] {Les} ok, so resistance or support so clearly established and defined is not something to catapult into
[15:23] {Les} 3 min SPY bearish divergence IWM too
[15:23] {thomcbell} 1/2 lot from 54.72
[15:23] {thomcbell} lvs 
[15:23] {Threei}  :)
[15:23] {nemo} yeah, but support on sy at .24
[15:24] {thomcbell} sold 1/2 of the 1/2
[15:24] {thomcbell} lol
[15:24] {Threei}  no, point I was making: well etsabl;ished resistance is a very promising breakout,
[15:24] {Threei}  less defined one is so-so
[15:24] {Les} ah ok
[15:24] {nemo} excuse me .30
[15:24] {nemo} support on iwm, sheesh
[15:25] {Les} yeh I getchya, even when you are drunk
[15:25] {nemo} financials are at the top of their range also, be careful with shorts
[15:25] {Les} yeh 15 min solid uptrend in MACD. I want 3 & 15 min. negative crossovers for shorting consideration
[15:26] {Les} only 3 min. here. Just another wiggle
[15:26] {nemo} I would want three push divergence here
[15:26] {Les} putting kids to bed. c u's tomorrow. A good day
[15:26] {nemo} iwm has been going up since 10:30
[15:35] {Threei}  FCX valid
[15:36] {nemo} what are you calling?
[15:36] {Threei}  .50 break
[15:39] {Threei}  come on SPY, you know you want to take 137 today
[15:42] {andj} where is the stop on fcx?
