Apr 24 2012

Inactive day with long stall but those trades that we found worked like charm. Just one 6 cents stop with most trades hitting 1:2 and 1:3, so other than boredom, no complaints.

Session Time: Tue Apr 24 00:00:00 2012
[09:06] {scottie} good morning
[09:07] {Threei}  morning scottie
[09:08] {andj} GM
[09:08] {Threei}  andj :)
[09:08] {andj} Too early vadd
[09:08] {andj} I may have to move back east to keep this up
[09:09] {andj} what time do you start?
[09:09] {Threei}  no... can't give up the freedom of finishing at 1
[09:09] {Threei}  whole day ahead
[09:09] {andj} I used to think that but man...
[09:09] {andj} dark all around
[09:10] {Threei}  used to bother me... then I discovered this great new invention
[09:10] {Threei}  electricity
[09:10] {andj} yea?
[09:10] {andj} like a bat?
[09:11] {andj} I'm not smart this early...even with electricity
[09:11] {Threei}  there is this switch on the wall... you flip it... and oh sweet miracle of light
[09:12] {andj} no sympathy then?  I will look elsewhere... 
[09:13] {Threei}  sorry :)

[09:15] {Threei}  oh, I see what you are doing differently
[09:15] {Threei}  you wake up for trading
[09:15] {Threei}  I don;t
[09:15] {andj} that's because you don't allow thinking
[09:15] {Threei}  right
[09:16] {Threei}  avoid it like plague
[09:16] {andj} i don't get that...but you are still smarter than me
[09:16] {Threei}  having keybpard with faded away signage helps - after a while you give up and start hitting random keys
[09:17] {andj} is that why you mess up when typing...your keys are all worn off?
[09:19] {Threei}  well, to be honst I do the same with any keyboard, lol... but it's nice to have an excuse
[09:22] {Threei}  gosh, NFLX...
