When do you call a 1:3 trade a "Miss of the Day" instead of Catch of the Day? When it proceeds to 1:10!

[10:28] {Les} was contemplating .15 if holding .05
[10:28] {Threei} yeah
[10:29] {Threei} huh... for some reason my line "out FCX in full" never appeared

[10:35] {Les} yeh wondering if china is putting wind up the street
[10:35] {Threei} they were all hitting highs yesterday while SPY was down... do the exact opposite today
[10:35] {Les} or final flush before heading higher?
[10:35] {Threei} no idea
[10:36] {Les} 60 min IWM showing bearish divergences. could be head fake here
[10:36] {Threei} could just as well be an indication of coming blowout
[10:36] {Threei} as in:
[10:36] {Threei} if everything goes to hell in a handbasket, let's buy real things
[10:36] {Threei} tangibles
[10:37] {Les} you don't *gasp" mean, stuff like gold do you?
[10:37] {Threei} gold is in its own league of weirdness
[10:38] {Threei} it has too many roles, and as a result you never know which one plays out to what ectend
[10:38] {Threei} it's a part material, part commodity, part currency
[10:39] {Threei} part safe haven
[10:39] {Les} part paper weight
[10:39] {Les} I got a few nice silver paper weights
[10:39] {Les} keeps mail in its place
[10:43] {Threei} frikin FCX

[11:26] {Threei} nice and steady
[11:28] {nemo} bks could be short here
[11:29] {dino} like it, but none avail
[11:30] {Threei} 1:3, out
[11:30] {Threei} this one had all the markings of a nice mover
[11:31] {Threei} especially pleasant because it's not often that we get a chance to benefit from a slow creep up
[11:31] {scottie} got out at +.11, sclapers regret I guess
[11:32] {Threei} 1:4
[11:32] {nemo} BKS dropped

[11:44] {Threei} 1:8... pain never stops
[11:44] {dptl} nus news? hlf also?
[11:44] {Threei} if I only knew how true this was: [11:13] {Threei} not a scalp for me, looks like can do much better
[11:45] {Threei} don't see any
[11:45] {Threei} HLF hatled, circuit breaker
[11:45] {dptl} k ty

[12:05] {Threei} good thing I stopped counting CAT r/r
[12:05] {Threei} 1:10 would be tough to watch
[12:09] {Threei} hiccup on East coast route

[13:15] {Threei} lol
[13:15] {Les} so I missed nothing eh?
[13:16] {Les} pulled me bloody calf muscle at Aikido. Back early
[13:17] {scottie} vad, how come TNA is dropping when SPY is idle
[13:17] {Threei} IWM is dropping
[13:17] {Threei} TNA follows it closer than SPY
[13:18] {Les} 15 MACD - crossover. Spy could follow shortly
[13:18] {scottie} OK thanks
[13:19] {Threei} these connections are not absolute, there is always some slack
[13:19] {dino} bth coming into s3
[13:27] {Les} potential IWM bullish divergence building here .40 is half pivot support
[13:27] {dino} bth, cmi bloodied
[13:37] {dino} bth sm l .97 risky

[14:14] {Les} TNA back to support
[14:15] {Threei} Short Setup: HLF .30 break small shares

[14:22] {Les} nice job. I got bored of it and quit flat
[14:23] {dino} trades funny
[14:25] {Threei} market loses ground
[14:25] {Threei} no news
[14:26] {Threei} was looking at TZA for .50 break but setup just wasn't there
[14:31] {Les} LVS?
[14:31] {Les} bdi?
[14:33] {Threei} no read
[14:35] {Les} RIG bdi?
[14:35] {Les} .70 is R1
[14:36] {Les} but indexes say up
[14:37] {Threei} if SPY turns down, sure
[14:37] {Threei} I'd take .70 break
[14:43] {Les} missed lvs. consolidated and dropped
[14:43] {dino} wow nus
[14:44] {Threei} wow is understatement
[14:44] {Threei} gotta look at daily to gauge the scale of the drop
[14:44] {Les} interesting support here though on daily
[14:45] {dino} following hlf
[14:46] {nemo} what you lookin' at sheila?
[14:46] {Les} you must be talking to Vad
[14:47] {Threei} Les
[14:47] {Threei} I have come to a conclusion that your insults for nemo are very ineffective
[14:47] {Les} NUS. plugged in a .30 price order for potential entry. talk about regret
[14:47] {Threei} let me show you how it's done, watch his cringing in pain:
[14:47] {Threei} nemo, you are a nice person
[14:48] {Threei} see? he fainted
[14:48] {Threei} hear that thump? he hit the floor
[14:49] {nemo} Hey! What you guys do to my uncle, I had to call the nurse.
[14:49] {Les} It's the Aikido. Knocking the aggression out of me. Never too late to change Mark.
[14:53] {nemo} Vad, don't do that again!!
[14:53] {Threei} painful, isn't it
[14:54] {Threei} just had to show yaong generation how it's done
[14:54] {Threei} young too
[14:54] {nemo} as for violence reform, save that for the crunchy granola New Agey California Cambridge types...It don't work when push comes to shove, been there done that, got the tshirt
[14:54] {Threei} watching JPM
[14:54] {Threei} couple min consolidation, and will be short-ready
[14:55] {Les} LVS 56 b/d?
[14:56] {Threei} probably, if panic hits
[14:56] {Threei} Short Setup: JPM 44 break
[14:56] {Threei} If holds .10
[15:00] {Les} cat .50 break?
[15:01] {Threei} no
[15:01] {Threei} US President Obama in Afghanistan on unannounced trip to sign agreement on US post-war role
[15:01] {Threei} I have a suggestion about that role...
[15:01] {Les} janitor
[15:02] {Les} pre-empting your suggestion
[15:02] {Threei} ok, softening it up:
[15:02] {Threei} "for the next 500 years we don't even watch how you kill each other"
[15:03] {scottie} JPM still valid?
[15:04] {Threei} needs a min or two of a new consolidaion
[15:05] {Threei} valid
[15:08] {nemo} rht at vwap
[15:10] {Threei} gppd boy jpm
[15:10] {Threei} good
[15:10] {scottie} target?
[15:10] {Threei} should be 1:2
[15:11] {nemo} careful, coming into bounce territory here
[15:12] {Threei} I see no support for it down to .80
[15:13] {Threei} just need a little market help
[15:13] {Les} vwap under .90. IWM at R1 support with potential to bounce
[15:13] {nemo} I have vwap and retracement just under .90
[15:13] {Threei} well, let's just play it by the book
[15:13] {Threei} partial and trail
[15:14] {Threei} IMO, no vwap will help it if FAS continues dropping as it does
[15:15] {Threei} let's cover half
[15:15] {Threei} trail stop to .02
[15:15] {Threei} and let it trade
[15:17] {Les} TNA whaddya think fish boy?
[15:18] {Threei} don't
[15:18] {Threei} the only way TNA becomes a play is one more pullback, holding 60, then break of .10
[15:19] {Threei} otherwise it's a total dice roll
[15:19] {Les} yeh the bullish divergences are there. Just need a set up.
[15:21] {nemo} yeah, well that double top that hit the 20 on the 1 minute is bearish, should go, but right here is the deal, xlf is also at vwap
[15:21] {Threei} there you go
[15:21] {Threei} that .10 break would have been a trap
[15:21] {nemo} yeah, you've got a nice clean stp now
[15:22] {Threei} that was simply a bounce into upper envelop of downward channel
[15:23] {nemo} o.k. that too
[15:29] {Les} GS leading down through vwap
[15:31] {Threei} US to designate Afghanistan a major non-NATO ally, US officials say
[15:31] {Threei} with such allies, who needs enemies
[15:31] {nemo} yeah, until we bomb the shit out of them
[15:31] {Les} yeh, against pakistan. nice one...
[15:36] {Threei} ok JPM, go to .80 and let us finish this good day on a great note

[15:37] {Threei} look:
[15:38] {Threei} - NYSE volume 520M shares, about 1% below its three-month average
[15:38] {Threei} NASDAQ volume 1.45B shares, about 5% above its three-month average;
