One trade had particularly interesting thought process behind it. Pull the FCX 1 min, zoom in on 9:55 and read the call at that time and explanations at 10:05 - 10:10.

[08:58] {Les} just trying to be hip and cool, quoting music from my 9 year old
[08:59] {Threei} "cool"? don't they spell it as "kewl" at that age?
[08:59] {Les} only if I put my foot in his mouth, for spelling cool like that
[09:00] {Threei} but it's not a matter of misspelling - it's just kewl to spell cool that way
[09:00] {Les} He might think it kewl but I have rewls - we speak the queen's english in this house

[09:36] {Les} fcx vad
[09:36] {Les} .30? long
[09:36] {Threei} LVS was very tough but FCX was obtainable

[09:42] {thomcbell} gdx at pivot
[09:42] {thomcbell} slw way above
[09:42] {thomcbell} starting to look like a short setup

[09:47] {thomcbell} gdx nice bounce off pivot
[09:48] {Threei} that was the idea of the SLW play tbell
[09:48] {thomcbell} excellent
[09:48] {Threei} if GDX bounces off puvot, SLW with its relative strength should leadthe charge
[09:48] {Threei} 1:2, out
[09:48] {thomcbell} lvs wicked first 20 min
[09:53] {Threei} 77% Say Most Politicians Don�t Keep Campaign Promises

[10:01] {Threei} welcome sir

[10:01] {Threei} stop to .34
[10:02] {scottie} not broker's fault, inexperience
[10:02] {Threei} what do you use?
[10:02] {Threei} out in full .52
[10:02] {scottie} disnat
[10:02] {Threei} ok... that is slowr than day trading requires
[10:03] {Threei} rambler was using it, switched to Laser, couldn't believe the difference
[10:03] {scottie} will look into it, thanks
[10:03] {Threei} talk to cc_8, he will help you with demo
[10:04] {Threei} FCX, not too shabby for 6 cents risk
[10:04] {cc_8} hello, did someone summon me
[10:04] {nemo} what was the setup vad?
[10:04] {Threei} who rubbed that lamp?
[10:05] {Threei} this wass a work in progress nemo... look at the 1 min before 9:55 candle
[10:05] {cipher} meli l .89
[10:05] {Threei} see C&H forming?
[10:06] {Threei} with .40 trigger
[10:06] {Threei} that's when I started monitoring it, and even prepared a call .40 break
[10:06] {nemo} ahhh
[10:06] {Threei} then it lost .30,
[10:06] {Threei} and still eyeing that break I started looking for aggressive entry
[10:07] {Threei} it paused between .25 and .30, I alerted .30 break
[10:07] {Threei} it lost .25, I changed to .25 break
[10:07] {Threei} if it lost .20, whole idea would be invalidated
[10:07] {Threei} because .20 was half way between rim and cup bottom
[10:08] {Threei} under it C&H was no longer valid
[10:08] {Threei} now if you look at the whole chart, you can see C&H playing out, and us getting nice aggressive entry within 5 cents of handfle's bottom
[10:09] {nemo} yep
[10:09] {nemo} volume was a tough read though
[10:09] {Threei} this walkout through the decision-making process may be the most valuable thing in today's log, especially if you read 111 Trades course
[10:09] {Threei} so, to finish on high note... may I go home?? :)
[10:10] {nemo} look around you vad
[10:10] {nemo} what do you see?
[10:11] {Threei} you assume my eyes open...
[10:11] {nemo} forgot, you have braille on your keys
[10:11] {Threei} not even that... I hit them randomly
[10:11] {Threei} Short Setup: FCX .55 break
[10:12] {Threei} If holds BELOW .60
[10:17] {Threei} stop to .56
[10:18] {Threei} half out .46
[10:18] {Threei} stop to .51
[10:20] {Threei} 1/4 more out
[10:21] {Threei} stop to .46
[10:22] {Threei} time to chok it
[10:22] {Threei} .41
[10:23] {Threei} .36
