[07:53] {nemo} Die Jedi Scum!
[08:44] {goryl} gm all
[08:46] {Threei} morning nemo, goryl
[08:47] {nemo} not funny
[08:47] {Threei} what's your beef with Jedi this morning?
[08:49] {Threei} (GR) EU/IMF/ECB troika suggests Greece expanding work week to 6 days from 5 - financial press
[08:49] {Threei} - Also suggests reducing the minimum rest between shifts to 11 hours
[08:50] {goryl} first day of school for me:) unfortunately my demo laser expired this morning
[08:52] {nemo} so, the why are you here?
[08:53] {Threei} lol... nemo is polite and considerate as always
[08:53] {Threei} maybe he wanted to meet you?
[08:54] {nemo} I'm just asking the question, actually not implying anything...you're are just inferring
[08:54] {nemo} He could follow Freestockcharts.com real time, It's not perfect, but would give him an approximation of your calls
[08:55] {Threei} pretty much, as temporary measure
[08:55] {goryl} thanks, i'll do that. Meanwhile, i'm waiting for the login info
[08:55] {Threei} demo has an advantage of having an imitator of execution, so it allows also practicing
[08:56] {nemo} Yes, why should he waste your trial...it would be more like watching a teletype of a baseball game...well, in our case, the inanity of an insane asylum...but you get my drift
[08:56] {nemo} Unfortunately, I don't think LASER uses real time data, I think it uses looped data
[08:56] {Threei} huh?
[08:56] {Threei} it's real time
[08:56] {nemo} it wasn't a few years ago
[08:57] {Threei} always was, as long as I use it
[08:57] {nemo} Put the bottle down Vad!
[08:57] {Threei} cohntless people demoed it, it was a real time always
[08:57] {nemo} o.k. gotta' get my yogurt

[10:06] {Threei} recovery based on artificial support by money printing or debt is an illusion of recovery
[10:06] {Threei} it digs deeper hole and it crowds out private money

[11:27] {Threei} we have more activity already
[11:28] {nemo} 3 min chart spy iwm look weak bonds weak financials picking up though
[11:35] {Threei} Long Setup: JPM 37 break
[11:35] {nemo} i'd say spxu worth a shot here
[11:37] {thomcbell} darn etn
[11:37] {thomcbell} thought 43.80 had a chance
[11:40] {thomcbell} not doing it but etn short setup 43.72 break if holding 43.82
[11:41] {goryl} Vad, is JPM a bmr or jbe setup? or both?
[11:41] {dolores} FB trying to hold .60
[11:42] {dolores} this a bottom for now?
[11:42] {Threei} kind of mini-JBE
[11:42] {RonS} bnny hop
[11:43] {nemo} she's so cuuuuute!
[11:43] {Threei} lol
[11:43] {nemo} sharp frickin' teeth though
[11:43] {Threei} FB... not much chance it'll hold that .60
[11:43] {dolores} ok thxs
[11:48] {goryl} ok, thanks. It is ok if I ask these q's? I want to know the logic behind each setup and document it in my trading log.
[11:48] {Threei} sure
[11:49] {nemo} don't tell him about the chicken sacrifices
[11:49] {Threei} as long as they are not in first 30 minutes, there is usually enough time to asnwer
[11:50] {goryl} I know it's only my first day of classes here but the morning setups seem more complicated and difficult for me to identify.
[11:50] {Threei} that's usually the case
[11:50] {nemo} yeah
[11:50] {goryl} Are they based more on Level II rather than DBI, JBE, etc...?
[11:50] {Threei} they happen faster, and since charts are not fully developed yet, they have less pronounced formations
[11:50] {nemo} Vad reads the open really well
[11:51] {Threei} also, sometimes a few tests of resistance of support that forn the setup happen within one minute,
[11:51] {Threei} which while still the same setup, doesn't allow you to see them on 1 min chart
[11:52] {Threei} it comes with practice
[11:52] {goryl} A lot to digest but hopefully with practice it'll become more transparent. School of Vad:)
[11:52] {Threei} ask folks who are trading with us relatively recently, how progress in seeing this kind of things is real nd happens wuthin months
[11:53] {nemo} also, some setups will align better with your nature than others, so you'll more easily recognize them
[11:53] {Threei} right
[11:53] {nemo} case in point: my iwm/spy trades
[11:53] {Threei} then you;ll see some I don't
[11:53] {nemo} I can feel Vad looking at me through the chat like I have two heads
[11:53] {Threei} you cut one??
[11:53] {nemo} some of Vad's setups, I just look at and go.....wtf???
[11:54] {nemo} they work fine, they just don't register
[11:54] {nemo} Then....
[11:54] {nemo} there's Dino...
[11:54] {nemo} some of the charts he trades, frickin' Rorschach tests
[11:55] {Threei} and cipher and ron who trade things requiring fresh box of diapers
[11:56] {nemo} yeah
[11:56] {nemo} What's worse, you ask Cipher what he saw, he can't explain it
[11:56] {nemo} That's years of feel
[11:56] {nemo} Looked for can't be seen, listened for, can't be heard
[11:57] {Will49} years of feel....my teenage years
[11:57] {nemo} oh oh
[11:57] {nemo} mmmhhhh...usually I lead us into the gutter
[11:58] {Will49} oops...forget D was watching
[11:59] {Threei} I think she learned to tune you guys out pretty much by now :)
[11:59] {RonS} berman on a jay feely missed kick: hear me, see me, feely....sucky...sung to the who's Tommy...
[11:59] {nemo} wow
[11:59] {goryl} thanks guys. Coming from an engineering background I need to build my intuition skills.
[11:59] {nemo} this has to be an alternative universe
[11:59] {Will49} what are you smkin' on?
[11:59] {Will49} smokin'
[11:59] {Will49} Ron
[12:00] {nemo} well, you need the discipline of engineering, but intuition comes from screen time and more screen time
[12:00] {goryl} yep, i know...
[12:00] {Will49} nemo says 10,000 hours of screen time
[12:00] {Will49} I'll be dead after 1,000
[12:01] {nemo} and interrelationships
[12:01] {dino} shld sm l .51
[12:01] {nemo} keep it up you'll be dead by 500

[12:01] {Threei} lol
[12:01] {cipher} I see you taalking about me...
[12:01] {cipher} sorry stepped out to lunch
[12:01] {nemo} positively cipher
[12:01] {Will49} gor..in addition to learning to trade, you have to learn to parry with nemo
[12:01] {cipher} I hope so nemo!
[12:02] {nemo} don't stick your chin out like that dude
[12:06] {goryl} Unfortunately I'll be able to trade only till noon. So, it'll take me twice as long. Thanks for all ur wisdom. See you tomorrow. Gotta go to work for now:)

[13:17] {Threei} allow me to introduce you to a lunatic running an asykum:
[13:17] {Threei} Fed's Williams backs open-ended QE3, eyes $600 billion
[13:19] {dino} all they need to do is get out of the way and let capitalism work. stop saving the weak
[13:20] {nemo} I go and grab a bite to eat and of course tna sets up and triggers
[13:20] {Threei} and stop saving the thugs
[13:20] {nemo} but that's cruel Dino
[13:20] {nemo} http://www.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view.bg?articleid=1061157848&pos=breaking
[13:46] {dino} still having these dead afternoons
[13:47] {Threei} computers, to borrow a line from nemo, have kids too... take to school, get them after...
[14:09] {RonS} how can this guy have any credibility?...Obama to propose action on deficit at #DNC2012, paint Romney plan as an end lacking means
[14:10] {dino} he doesn't
[14:11] {Threei} depends on who you ask...
[14:17] {dolores} any CLF trade vad?
[14:18] {dolores} earlier was trying to hold against the market
[14:18] {dolores} çand now no t following it
[14:19] {Threei} hard to tell... nothing conclusove
[14:19] {Threei} can go either way
[14:21] {dolores} not following others either
[14:29] {nemo} wow, remind me not to go to lunch
[14:30] {nemo} look at iwm vs spy
[14:35] {dino} nemo, you generally find the iwm to lead the s/p?
[14:36] {nemo} no, but you can tell where the risk on/off temperature is by who leads who
[14:36] {Threei} think when SPY turns back, CLF will be a short
[14:37] {nemo} That morning stuff was hard to read...and it was a big setup for this rip, I was eating and iwm had a perfect setup at 12:20 or so
[14:38] {nemo} I have no weakness anyway on any time frame
[14:38] {nemo} this is r2 dcaily on IWM
[14:38] {dino} nor i. the 07 scanner just flashing green
[14:38] {nemo} and almost WR1 on financials
[14:38] {nemo} Having said that, TLT is at 50SMA and WPP confluence
[14:39] {nemo} if it's gonna' bounce it will be here, if it doesn't....Natucket sleigh ride
[14:40] {nemo} theri is voulme overhang around 82.75 on spy which is also WR2
[14:51] {nemo} Financials may be the leader today, topped at WR1
[15:06] {nemo} LVS
[15:18] {Threei} Short Setup: CLF .70 break
[15:18] {Threei} If holds .80
[15:29] {dptl} valid still?
[15:29] {Threei} yes
[15:30] {dptl} xm...i am in .69
[15:32] {Threei} so why are you unhappy?
[15:33] {Threei} 1:1
[15:33] {Threei} cure reltive strength (or rather weakness in this case) play
[15:33] {Threei} cute
[15:35] {dptl} i am out thanx
[15:36] {Threei} :)
[15:39] {Threei} 1:2
