Fairly nice day sealed by two parallel wins on the last 30 minutes. Got the theme of a closing selloff right and benefited from two trades based on that idea. You may also want to read the discussion of good and bad times for a trader to learn starting from 11:23.

[10:36] {Threei} so far the idea of selling resuming was right, despite SPY breaking downtrend at some point
[10:39] {Threei} 50% Now View Paul Ryan Favorably; 43% Say He Was Right Choice
[10:39] {RonS} ...play on words?
[10:39] {RonS} right choice
[10:39] {Threei} hehe
[10:40] {Will49} What do the 7% in between think?
[10:40] {Threei} they don't
[10:40] {Will49} hmmm
[10:40] {Threei} actyally 99% don't but only 7% admit it
[10:40] {RonS} lol
[10:41] {Will49} right on
[10:41] {nemo} l tna 79
[10:41] {nemo} stops...we don't need no frickin' stops
[10:42] {Threei} IMO, this wasn't a very good choice
[10:42] {Threei} but what do I know
[10:42] {Will49} Ryan or nemo's trade?
[10:42] {RonS} schn brings to mind chubby checker...
[10:42] {Threei} ryan, lol
[10:42] {nemo} today...my trades
[10:42] {RonS} Let's schnitz again like we did last summer...
[10:43] {Will49} Agree...I think he'll turn off a lot of independents
[10:43] {Will49} Ryan, not nemo
[10:43] {nemo} I turn off everybody
[10:43] {thomcbell} Nemo for President
[10:43] {nemo} I"d make a great dictator
[10:43] {Threei} yes... and most of all, he makes a subject of discussion, instead of keeping election a referendum on obama
[10:43] {RonS} nemo for bunny catcher
[10:44] {dptl} lol
[10:44] {nemo} couldn't sleep last night, so had an extended play session with bunny
[10:44] {Threei} uh oh
[10:44] {Will49} too much information
[10:44] {nemo} she sleeps during the day and runs around all night
[10:44] {RonS} things will change when he debates biden...
[10:45] {Threei} let's hope...
[10:45] {nemo} Biden...how often they let him out of the home
[10:45] {Threei} but it' just one debate
[10:45] {dino} personally i like the choice. it brings real issues to the election
[10:45] {Threei} and not very influential
[10:45] {nemo} since when are elections about issues?
[10:45] {nemo} offering .95
[10:45] {dino} guess thats my point
[10:45] {Threei} yeah dino... what were you thinking {G}
[10:46] {dino} fosl stop flat
[10:46] {Threei} he will be portrayed and seen as entitlements slasher... and you know how it goes when it comes to everyone's favorite entitlement
[10:46] {nemo} stop b/e-ish weird day
[10:47] {nemo} the hendout-electorate is way bigger than any else...Obama will easily be re-elected
[10:48] {nemo} Romney was my
[10:48] {nemo} gvernor, and you never trusted what came out of his mouth
[10:48] {Threei} I hate to say what I am about to say, for many reasons... but I feel nemo's right
[10:48] {nemo} SO, he picks the most conservative guy to be on the ticket
[10:48] {nemo} Hitler would have a better chance being elected
[10:48] {Threei} imo, rubio was the choice not opening easy lines for attack
[10:48] {Will49} Condaleeza would have been much better
[10:49] {Threei} or rice, yes
[10:49] {RonS} but she looks po'd all the time...
[10:49] {thomcbell} i fear it was hopeless
[10:49] {dino} think you may be missing one major point. he's the only one w/the balls to tell it how it really is
[10:49] {nemo} As long as Prohibition isn't re-enacted I'll survive
[10:50] {Threei} oh well... this way or that, you guys are frimly on your way to become USSR
[10:50] {nemo} oh, as if people want to hear the truth
[10:50] {nemo} They want to hear a bedtime story
[10:50] {dolores} wow whats going on?
[10:50] {dolores} sudden move up
[10:50] {Threei} no news yet
[10:50] {RonS} wish it was, i would be prosperous...rum running 3i's brew from the great north...kennedy style
[10:50] {nemo} not sudden...iwm bottomed at yesteday's highs
[10:50] {Threei} closed last piece TZA
[10:50] {dolores} TNA 20 cents on one sec
[10:51] {nemo} spy a few cents off
[10:51] {nemo} perfect bounce place
[10:51] {nemo} like yesterday....the low was near the confluence of a multi-time frame pivot on iwm and 140 on spy
[10:51] {Threei} (EU) Germany Econ Min Roessler: Seeing signs of economic slowdown in Europe; compeititiveness must be improved - comments in Finland- Energy prices need to be kept under control. - Reiterates that debt should not be a shared responsibility. - ECB should focus on price stability and on the value of money
[10:51] {Threei} market ignored these damaging comments
[10:51] {dolores} that would reverse the market
[10:52] {nemo} stop under .90
[10:52] {nemo} the markt is us...and since when do we have a grip on reality
[10:52] {nemo} crissakes my best friend is a bunny
[10:52] {Threei} obviously market doesn't believe people thinking like Roessler will prevail
[10:52] {nemo} think I'm sane
[10:53] {Will49} EU politicians will keep the circus going for decades
[10:53] {ese} L dks .10
[10:53] {nemo} nah...bond market will determine how long it keeps going
[10:54] {dino} that may just be their goal will
[10:54] {Will49} for sure
[10:54] {nemo} mnst incredibly strong
[10:56] {Threei} I don't believe they can
[10:56] {Threei} they want, to be sure... but once again, and this is second time today,
[10:56] {Threei} nemo's right
[10:56] {Threei} sheesh, it hurts to type that
[10:57] {RonS} if that is painful what if...Les is right...the horror
06[10:57] * Threei faints
[10:58] {nemo} what did Les say?
[10:58] {nemo} frickin' guy has sex with wombats
[10:58] {RonS} hypothetical...

[11:02] {cipher} +.28 panw thx dino
[11:02] {Will49} thought panw was another acronym like BOHICA
[11:03] {dptl} lol Will
[11:04] {nemo} going higher it looks like
[11:05] {Threei} NYSE volume 115M shares, about 29% below its three-month average; - NASDAQ volume 340M shares, about 7% below its three-month average
[11:07] {nemo} deck short .99
[11:07] {nemo} stop above .10
[11:07] {nemo} guess tna stop is .95 ish
[11:07] {Threei} Long Setup: FCX .40 break
[11:08] {Threei} this one is based on an assumption that we started slow climb
[11:08] {nemo} taking another partial tna here
[11:08] {Threei} of wrong, it'll torture us to death, or fail
[11:08] {nemo} stop .10ish
[11:08] {Threei} biut so far so good
[11:09] {Threei} stop under .30
[11:09] {Threei} target .70
[11:10] {RonS} BREAKING: Knight Capital's Aug. 1 trading loss said linked to dormant software

[11:17] {ese} dormant?.......wtf.....it was sleeping while the traders were tradin
[11:18] {ese} that ranks up there with some of the stupidist stuff i've ever heard
[11:19] {Threei} PIMCO Gross: The Fed is where bad bonds go to die. Today it was 10-years. Tomorrow 30-years. Stay short my friends.
[11:20] {RonS} ...sounds like the dos equis dude...
[11:20] {Threei} FCX switched in water torture mode
[11:21] {RonS} "my friends"
[11:21] {Threei} yeah
[11:21] {ese} lol
[11:21] {Threei} as Russian saying goes, Tambov's wolf is your friend
[11:22] {Threei} kind of standard (and hostile) reaction to someone's unsolicited claim that he is your friwend
[11:22] {dino} lol ron
[11:23] {Will49} :)
[11:23] {nemo} August is the wrong trading month to ruin out of alcohol
[11:24] {Will49} it's also a poor month to learn how to trade
[11:24] {Will49} isn't it?
[11:24] {Threei} why
[11:24] {Will49} please tell me it is
[11:25] {Threei} you want to learn to trade in great market?
[11:25] {Threei} many did in 1998 - 2000
[11:25] {Threei} few of them are still trading
[11:25] {Threei} so very few
[11:25] {nemo} frickin deck is water torture too
[11:25] {Will49} so, this is baptism by fire?
[11:25] {nemo} no
[11:25] {nemo} this is death by boredom
[11:25] {Threei} which carries lesson in patience
[11:25] {Will49} easy for you big rollers to say
[11:26] {nemo} shit
[11:26] {nemo} dt's setting in
[11:26] {nemo} damn, got stopped out of tna and looks like spy aoub to pop

[11:27] {Will49} more, more...make me feel good :)
[11:27] {nemo} if this makes you feel good...
[11:27] {nemo} run
[11:27] {Threei} while we have time in a slow trade, let's me reminisce on that a little
[11:27] {nemo} don't walk
[11:27] {nemo} to a psychiatrist
[11:28] {nemo} oh no
[11:28] {Threei} my initial period of learning curve and heavy losses fell on 1996-1998
[11:28] {Will49} i need a physiotherapist after so much BOHICA
[11:28] {nemo} nah, just diapers
[11:28] {Threei} so, when a great bull came about, I was already through the "total ignorance" period,
[11:28] {Threei} nicely humbled and properly humiliated
[11:29] {nemo} Vad was the market's bitch
[11:29] {Threei} Whe much easier times came about, I was able to benefit from them,
[11:29] {Threei} but here is one strong impression from those times:
[11:29] {nemo} spy C&H
[11:29] {Threei} there were a lot of newly minted traders,
[11:30] {Threei} folks who got into markets when that untoppable run started
[11:30] {Threei} unstoppable
[11:30] {Threei} whose undestanding of what was happening was for the lack of better word, leaving to desire
[11:31] {Threei} some of them were losing money by trying either to short the market
[11:31] {Will49} greed?
[11:31] {Threei} or by buying breakouts after stroing spijeds instead of qwaiting for pullbacks or consolidations
[11:32] {Threei} Others were making money but there was a catch:
[11:32] {Threei} they did so by violating the rules of good trading
[11:32] {Threei} for instance, staying long depsite strong move against them,
[11:33] {Threei} which was still profitable thanks to a very forgiving market
[11:33] {Threei} Mind you, there were folks who actually preached this kind of trading,
[11:33] {Threei} 1:1 FCX, half out
[11:34] {nemo} ncr
[11:34] {Threei} saying that secret of success is go long and stay l,ong because "they will be back anyway"
[11:34] {Threei} and actually attacking and berating folks like me for saying "keep your stops, waith for good entries etc"
[11:35] {nemo} l ncr .28
[11:35] {nemo} stop under .20
[11:35] {cipher} NCR L .29
[11:35] {nemo} offering .45
[11:36] {Threei} Spring of 2000 rolled in and separated chaff from whatever it's supposed to separate chaff from
[11:36] {cipher} out 1/2 .40
[11:36] {Threei} in couple years all those chasers refusing to take their stops were eliminated
[11:37] {Threei} Ever since I
[11:37] {Threei} a) am thankful that I started in tougher environment than the great bull of 1998-2000
[11:37] {nemo} o.k. stop to .30 ish
[11:37] {Threei} b) see new arrivals that think everything happens for the first time and try to explain life to nme
[11:38] {Threei} not in the least suspecting that it all already happened, many times before
[11:38] {Threei} "ahh, markets are not reflecting reality anymore"
[11:38] {nemo} offering .58
[11:38] {Threei} what a horse manuree
[11:38] {Threei} they never did
[11:39] {nemo} let the rest run
[11:39] {cipher} out ncr in full .60
[11:39] {cipher} thx nemo
[11:39] {nemo} sure dude
[11:39] {Threei} they reflected our collective opinion of what reality is
[11:39] {nemo} oh shit
[11:39] {nemo} seeing Jeff Bridges
[11:39] {Threei} "ahh, computers distort the market"
[11:39] {dino} gj
[11:39] {Threei} another dose of horse manure
[11:39] {Threei} people program computers
[11:40] {Threei} so computers act in accordnace of strategies those people deploy
[11:40] {Threei} etc
[11:40] {Threei} OK, done blabbing
[11:40] {Will49} tks Vad....very helpful (seriously)
[11:40] {Threei} FCX stop is .,39 of course
[11:41] {nemo} for now
[11:41] {_robbers} And one more moral of story is: "Nothing more dangerous than having your ignorance validated."
[11:41] {Threei} hey... I am so stealing that!
[11:41] {Threei} :)
[11:41] {nemo} you talking about marriage?
[11:41] {Threei} I call that "random reinforcement"
[11:41] {Will49} OMG...they're onto me
[11:41] {Threei} you break rules, market rewards you

[11:43] {Threei} NCR Corp Discloses receipt of anonymous allegations from whistleblower concerning practices in China - filing- Received anonymous allegations from a purported whistleblower regarding certain aspects of the Company's business practices in China, the Middle East and Africa, including allegations which, if true, might constitute violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. NCR has certain concerns about the motivation of the purported whistleblower and the accuracy of the allegations it received, some of which appear to be untrue. - NCR takes all allegations of this sort seriously and promptly retained experienced outside counsel and began an internal investigation that is ongoing. NCR does not comment on ongoing internal investigations.
[11:44] {nemo} politicians will just hit them up for donations and it will all go away
