Somewhat strange day, slightly positive but we had no fewer than 3 rinses. Had also another case of scalper's regret. Great entry, waaay to early on exiting. Chart speaks for itself

[10:39] {Threei} since this is second stock doing this today, we may want to rethink this setup for the time being
[10:40] {Les} but we still managed to get a flush
[10:40] {Threei} instead of buying trigger, let it go, wait for shakeout and buy the rinse
[10:42] {dino} met l .31

[13:45] {dino} bstop on clir to .92, slow ride down
[13:46] {Threei} coupled with Les' mysterious change of overnight business, should be something very promising
[13:47] {Threei} I can't believe nemo is not here to make a dozen of dirty jokes out of that Les remark

[14:49] {Threei} panic is not over for today, IMO
[14:49] {thomcbell} i should have been more liberal
[14:50] {Threei} nah... president is liberal enough for both of you
[14:51] {Threei} to finish previous thought: panic is not over, but there should be one last shake before plunge
[14:51] {Threei} which I want to try and catch with this TZA entry
[14:52] {thomcbell} going to bring the stop on vrx to 51.98
[14:58] {dino} v new lows

[15:02] {dino} chkp sm l .85
[15:03] {Threei} feels like TZA pullback might be deeper than .80
[15:03] {Les} how goes the day?
[15:03] {Threei} not bad but we had another rinse
[15:04] {Threei} 3rd in one day
[15:04] {Les} same style

[15:05] {thomcbell} vrx out 51.98
[15:08] {Les} had to reboot. something about TZA setup?
[15:09] {Threei} yes, waiting for pullback
[15:09] {Les} I think TNA db possible
[15:10] {Les} unless selling pressure really applies itself into close
[15:11] {dino} imo if they can't take them down, we go up
[15:13] {Les} both indexes bouncing off of S2
[15:16] {Les} not even a db
