[09:14] {goryl} ok
[09:14] {ese} is that something specific to the EU
[09:14] {Threei} bonds issued by EU countries
[09:14] {ese} ah
[09:15] {Threei} in other words, they will directly finance governments, while saying they don't
[09:15] {Threei} and they practically promised to make bonds buying unlimited
[09:15] {Threei} which means the end of financial system in EU
[09:16] {Threei} but it allows them to postpone the collapse
[09:16] {Threei} so they don't care

[09:22] {dino} vad, how do i get a sound from mirc?
[09:22] {Threei} or, this indicates that real economy is not going to benefit much from what props the market
[09:22] {Threei} hot money sloshing around and finding its way to the market - how weill that benefit semis or FDX

[09:55] {dolores} dont know why could not login
[09:55] {dolores} yesterday the same
[09:55] {dolores} it kocks me off
[09:55] {Threei} wrong password...
[09:55] {Threei} missed a few good ones
[09:55] {goryl} awesome trading vad, but i have not idea why you took that trade:)
[09:56] {Threei} makes two of us
[09:56] {Threei} stop to .81
[09:56] {nemo} Dolores, sorry missed you're request regarding the meaning of "slog" It's basically means things will become slow, labored and difficult
[09:56] {dolores} no
[09:56] {dolores} password was fine
[09:56] {dino} cacc getting a bit of pulp, thin
[09:56] {dino} maxy odd
[09:57] {_catfish} so slw was a trade right? did well on lvs
[09:57] {Threei} SLW was stopped
[09:58] {_catfish} ok
[09:58] {goryl} lvs looked like a jbe setting up but that was a few min after u took the trade
[09:58] {Threei} FCX and EMR worked, for 1:2 and 1:1 respectively
[09:58] {dino} pvg sm l .39
[09:58] {robbers} catfish, I think "no worky" means stopped, is that right Three?
[09:59] {Threei} yes
[09:59] {cipher} IBM L 29
[09:59] {_catfish} got it
[09:59] {cipher} AAPL l.40
[09:59] {_catfish} lvs made up for it and then some
[09:59] {cipher} out aapl .14 +.74
[09:59] {Threei} it get a bit ahead of itself on a spike from .30 to .90, goryl,
[10:00] {Threei} paused, formed very nice tight setup, merely 5 cents risk
[10:00] {nemo} rig
[10:00] {Threei} SPY started hesitating too
[10:01] {Threei} some setups are not very pronounced but the risk is so small, they are worth playing on that alone
[10:01] {Threei} Alan Farley even came up with scientifically-sounding name for them
[10:01] {thomcbell} fcx at risk here in my opinion - setup not there
[10:02] {thomcbell} a ton of volume -
[10:02] {Threei} "risk-based setup" - or during beer conversation you'd call it "for 5 cents stop, just roll the frikin dice" :)
[10:02] {thomcbell} exhaustive volume i think
[10:02] {goryl} ty, it just happens so fast:)
[10:02] {Threei} that's opening for you
[10:02] {Threei} they are fast
[10:03] {Threei} thinking ,.20 break, tbell?
[10:03] {ese} fast would be an understatement in some cases
[10:03] {Threei} but LVS gave ample time for entry
[10:03] {nemo} rig break of .50 stop under .40
[10:03] {cipher} out ibm .60 +.31
[10:04] {goryl} i got all of them in demo mode of course but i want to learn the logic behind each setup
[10:04] {nemo} two way actually
[10:05] {goryl} Laser if freaky fast:)
[10:05] {dino} he must be assimulated
[10:06] {nemo} with 7 of 9, no problem
[10:06] {dino} indeed
[10:06] {Threei} lol
[10:06] {dino} maxy sm l .67
[10:08] {nemo} hal
[10:09] {nemo} offering .64 rig
[10:10] {nemo} iwm grinding up probably .40 area
[10:11] {Threei} oh wow
[10:11] {Threei} read this
[10:11] {Threei} White House: August unemployment data shows there is more work to be done but is further evidence economy continuing to recover
[10:11] {Threei} how do they not gag on their own words??
[10:12] {goryl} they're smokin' hopium:)
[10:12] {nemo} it's their profession to lie
[10:12] {Will49} keep the suckers in the dark
[10:12] {Threei} let me try that
[10:13] {robbers} Three career choices: 1) use your body...2) use your brain...3) become a politician.
[10:13] {RonS} Joseph Goebbels: If you tell a lie often enough people believe it
[10:13] {Will49} smokin or lyin'?
[10:13] {Threei} remember that SLW stop? It was a win actually, we just need some more work on it
[10:13] {nemo} big enough and long enough
[10:14] {Threei} hmmm... I kinda like it
[10:14] {Threei} Short Setup: FCX .65 break
[10:14] {Threei} hl
[10:15] {Threei} If holds .75
[10:15] {Threei} target 1:2
[10:15] {dino} pvg to .79
[10:16] {Threei} need more work on this FCX winning trade
[10:17] {dolores} still valid?
[10:17] {nemo} algo I follow showing persistent bids under the market
[10:17] {Threei} no
[10:17] {nemo} and expanding
[10:17] {dolores} ok
[10:18] {thomcbell} fcx crazy must be the xstrata
[10:18] {dolores} they have been hammered so much
[10:18] {dolores} that today picking up
[10:19] {Threei} Long Setup: CAT .75 break hl
[10:19] {dino} yeah, look clf
[10:19] {Threei} If holds .65
[10:19] {Threei} target 1:2
[10:21] {Threei} .80 break should catapult it
[10:21] {dino} blox to .93 thing stalled
[10:22] {dino} pvg to .89
[10:22] {Threei} 1:1
[10:22] {Threei} play by the book
[10:22] {Threei} half and trail
[10:23] {nemo} should really fly if it beeaks .90
[10:23] {Threei} unless you are a scalper in which case my guidance is to be defenstrated
[10:23] {Threei} this might become new favorite word
[10:24] {nemo} stop on rig is under .60
[10:24] {dino} pvg to .09
[10:25] {dino} out ovg .09, +.70
[10:25] {RonS} gj
[10:25] {Threei} wtg
[10:25] {dino} ty
[10:26] {cipher} nice dino
[10:28] {dino} thx
[10:30] {nemo} I would think about adding to cat if it breaks .90
[10:30] {nemo} this could be the flush
[10:31] {Threei} - Germany Chancellor Merkel: Continuing to work on the financial transaction tax (tobin) proposal
[10:31] {Threei} and here I thought she was a sane one
[10:31] {nemo} both she and sarkozy came out for it last year
[10:31] {_catfish} mini flush and run
[10:32] {nemo} yep, likely a long
[10:32] {Threei} (US) Goldman economist Hatzius: Aug jobs data today virtually guarantees some kind of easing action next week at Fed meeting (vs prior estimate of a high chance) - CNBC interview- Cyclical sectors are not telling a very positive story, and that justifies more Fed action.
[10:32] {dino} out blox .96, +23
[10:32] {dolores} covered
[10:33] {Threei} yes... we do it for 4 years straight, and it doesn't work - let's do more of it
[10:33] {nemo} I'm adding to cat
[10:33] {nemo} playing for the break
[10:33] {_catfish} what's your target nemo?
[10:34] {_catfish} just 10c?
[10:34] {nemo} vad...shove a hot poker up cat's ass
[10:34] {Will49} ouch
[10:34] {Threei} his target is always the same - to get drunk before the day is over
[10:34] {RonS} lol
[10:34] {nemo} like in the movie, loved that scene
[10:34] {nemo} alright bought more cat here
[10:35] {nemo} mhhhh....starting to pucker
[10:35] {Threei} catfish... nemo often goes for bigger moves
[10:35] {Threei} he is more patient one
[10:35] {nemo} 1sth hour highs break
[10:35] {nemo} this is a classic setup
[10:35] {Threei} I would say 88.20 - .30 is very likely
[10:35] {nemo} I didn't take Vad's entry, I saw the high at 9:45
[10:36] {nemo} yeah baby
[10:36] {_catfish} i'm playin it for 88.20 ish
[10:36] {nemo} when I saw that flush and rebid, new it was going
[10:36] {_catfish} and he can screw a donkey all day for all i care if he can trade;)
[10:36] {dino} couple fish talking
[10:36] {nemo} whoa...dino throws out an insult

[10:50] {goryl} belvedere please..
[10:51] {jackharry} Vad... Russia vs Northern Ireland World Cup qualifier starting in 10 minutes....... another CLF type trade would help make up for the hammering we are likely to receive
[10:51] {dino} have to get a bottle
[10:51] {nemo} frickin' cat
[10:51] {Threei} got it... looking
[10:52] {nemo} offering .68 for last
[10:54] {_catfish} ty lulu
[10:54] {nemo} o.k. having said that I think it makes it to 39
[10:55] {nemo} mos
[10:57] {nemo} yeah, clf still looking bullish
[10:57] {goryl} vad, today I took all ur trades in the demo mode. On the 5 winners, I made 8 cents on each trade because of 2 cent slippage on the fill. However, on the 2 stops, I took a 12 cent loss on each. Am I doing something wrong? I'm still making $ but i'm not taking 1:1 on each of the winners...
[10:57] {nemo} IWM just hit Weekly R4 that's amazing
[10:57] {ese} cya monday have a great weekend
[10:57] {Threei} take care ese
[10:58] {Threei} goryl, you are not doing anything wrong, it's just worst case scenario
[10:58] {Threei} not every fill is going to be 2 cents away
[10:58] {goryl} ok, just wanted to confirm, ty
[10:58] {Threei} they swipe available shares UP to 2 cents away
[10:59] {Threei} then, those where you are partialing and riding them will more than make up for those slippages
[10:59] {goryl} i'm not sure, maybe the demo mode is causing that much slippage
[11:00] {nemo} you using market orders goryl?
[11:01] {goryl} for the past three days i've been able to catch 99% of ur calls but i take my money at 1:1. So scalping. Should i be scaling out vs. scalping?
[11:01] {goryl} i'm using limit orders nemo
[11:01] {Threei} I can't answer this question...
[11:01] {cipher} mos l.27
[11:02] {Threei} pick of trading style is a matter of personal preferences
[11:02] {goryl} i understand..
[11:02] {cipher} out mos .33 +.06
[11:02] {Threei} I like brunettes... can I tell you to like them too?
[11:04] {dino} everybody must find their own edge goryl
[11:05] {nemo} why is lulu up 6 bucks
[11:05] {dino} beat
[11:05] {Threei} mine is Glenlivet and Hennessy...
[11:05] {dino} no, thats for takig edge off
[11:05] {Threei} dp is fine with Stolychanya
[11:05] {goryl} I know:) it'll take time
[11:05] {nemo} yechhh
[11:05] {Threei} but I disagree with him
[11:05] {nemo} Tito's
[11:06] {dino} ddd drop
[11:07] {dino} sm l .73
[11:07] {goryl} vad, how did you pick the target for clf to 1:3?
[11:08] {dptl} qlik? 24 long?
[11:09] {Threei} no, too narrow
[11:09] {Threei} you'll hate my answer goryl
[11:09] {Threei} gut feel
[11:09] {Threei} nothing scientific
[11:10] {Threei} when a stock breaks day high and has nothing on the chart from nearest day's, it's uncharted teritory
[11:10] {Threei} there is nothing to indicate exat target, all you can do is rely on evaluation of its volatility and strength,
[11:10] {Threei} and those are not exact measurable things
[11:10] {goryl} that's my problem, i over analyze.... damn engineering mind...I'm looking for black and white answers:)
[11:11] {Threei} you just feel it
[11:11] {Threei} I know what you mean
[11:11] {nemo} drinking may be the answer
[11:11] {Threei} engineering background here too
[11:11] {Threei} but trading is a mix of science and art
[11:11] {Will49} and vermouth
[11:11] {Threei} that too
[11:12] {Threei} and art part is not quantifiable
[11:12] {Threei} some will tell you it ism, and will refer to things like golden ratio, rule of thirds etc
[11:12] {Threei} but that's science part in art,
[11:12] {Threei} just like any chart analysis
[11:13] {nemo} tell him about the dead chickens
[11:13] {Threei} you can put some science in,
[11:13] {Threei} and it does help
[11:13] {dino} "gut"
[11:13] {Threei} and then, on top of all that, you look at the T&S,

[11:42] {Threei} - Equity markets are responding calmly to today's August payrolls disappointment, thanks mostly to yesterday's ECB bond news, the Chinese stimulus news and the realization that the news practically guarantees QE3. The payroll numbers were brutal, with the headline nonfarm, private and manufacturing numbers all widely missing expectations.
[11:42] {Will49} Obammy won't like that
[11:42] {Threei} The overall unemployment rate fell to 8.1% but the decline was for all the wrong reasons, mostly due to unemployed individuals dropping out of the workforce.

[11:44] {Threei} - Intel slashed its Q3 revenue guidance and withdrew its FY12 forecast this morning. The company warned that revenue was weak due to flagging demand in a challenging macroeconomic environment, with customers reducing inventory in the supply chain at a time when they usually increase inventory. Intel also said emerging market demand, an area of strength cited by numerous other IT firms, is slowing.

[11:48] {Threei} it's amazing... by constant refrain "Romney's policies are Bush policies" they hope to win second election running against Bush
[11:48] {Will49} It's a sad commentary on the state of the nation when the politicians believe that the majority will swallow the bull
[11:48] {RonS} funny thing that left and right commentators panned O's...
