Oct 22 2012

Rough start with 3 rinses and one win, then a few winning trades took a sting out of the morning but still finished a bit negative by my count. Some did better depending on which of my trades they missed, lol.

[11:05] {Will49} I missed too
[11:05] {scottie} misread you and was waiting for .60, when I realized, was too late :(
[11:06] {Will49} I reall have to get onto MIRC
[11:06] {Will49} Was already .08 above break when it hit my screen
[11:06] {scottie} msft inverse H&S l .20 ?
01[11:07] {Threei}  for a scalp, yes
01[11:07] {Threei}  Will... you still on mibbit?
[11:07] {Will49} yeah
[11:11] {goryl} Vad, is ur first trade of the day always a hl?
01[11:11] {Threei}  most often
01[11:11] {Threei}  opening volatility
[11:12] {_1zach4} at 1:1 do you typically take 1/2 off, move your stop to b/e or both?
01[11:12] {Threei}  both
01[11:12] {Threei}  http://www.realitytrader.com/tradingroom/#instructions
[11:13] {_1zach4} thx Vad
01[11:14] {Threei}  sure
[11:18] {_1zach4} I tried MIRC, but every time I join #discussions and #floor it says I am banned 
[11:19] {Will49} Have followed the instructions perfectly half dozen times and can't get in
[11:19] {goryl} I need to regroup.. I've been scalping since the beginning of the month with with 100 shares and i'm trending in the wrong direction:)
01[11:20] {Threei}  zach, it's wrong username or password then... if you connect via mibbit, same credentials will work with mirc
01[11:20] {Threei}  goryl... meaning, taking 1:1 every time?
[11:20] {goryl} yeah
01[11:21] {Threei}  well, many trades are aimed at bigger moves...
[11:21] {_1zach4} yeah just tried again, says address is banned when I try to join #discussions
[11:21] {goryl} but i don't do hl since the limit is 100 so i might have to bump it up to 200 shares and take hl
01[11:21] {Threei}  cutting them down prematurely will influence your performance negatively
01[11:21] {Threei}  right
01[11:22] {Threei}  I removed ban manually, zachm, try again
01[11:22] {Threei}  make sure password is correct
[11:22] {_1zach4} ahh thank you
[11:23] {dino} lulu hl l .35
01[11:23] {Threei}  wrong password
[11:23] {_1zach4} yeah need to fix that, but now i'm on MIRC
01[11:24] {Threei}  will... let's try it via backdoor
[11:24] {Will49} let's wait until noon lull
[11:24] {scottie} want us to leave you alone ?
01[11:24] {Threei}  I will gather correctly configured files for mirc and send them to you
[11:25] {dino} lol
01[11:25] {Threei}  so you just put them in mirc directory
[11:25] {Will49} tks
[11:29] {goryl} Vad, on a down days where i get 3 stops in a row, i would reduce my following trades to hl.  On plus days, after i get 3 wins, i continue playing but with hl.  Good strategy?
01[11:29] {Threei}  firast part yes
01[11:29] {Threei}  second, why?
01[11:29] {Threei}  continue until your winning streak is interrupted
01[11:30] {Threei}  then slow down
[11:30] {goryl} ok, makes sense:)
[11:31] {goryl} i think too much about not losing:) and reduce my profit on winning days
[11:31] {Will49} my issue also goryl
[11:42] {dino} ot lulu .87, +.52
01[11:42] {Threei}  wtg
[11:42] {dino} ty
01[11:42] {Threei}  Indices Flatline in Listless, Low-Volume Trading
01[11:42] {Threei}  - US trading has been a bit choppy this morning as volumes remain below average and the VIX index heads higher. Caterpillar's downbeat quarterly report put some pressure on US indices this morning, although shares of CAT are back in positive territory in midmorning trade. Note that the VIX popped out to its highest level in more than six weeks.
[11:55] {dino} elli going for gap?

01[11:58] {Threei}  let's see if it works this way
01[11:58] {Threei}  we may have different ersions of mirc but that shouldn't be a problem, easy to correct

[12:31] {Will49} Sent you an email
[12:32] {Will49} I think I need one of those rent-a-nerds to do it for me:)
01[12:36] {Threei}  replied
[12:52] {scottie} cstr s .05 aggressive for 43 break ?
01[12:52] {Threei}  yikes, spread
[12:53] {scottie} I see it, ok
[13:00] {scottie} spread better, in .04
01[13:00] {Threei}  ummm
01[13:00] {Threei}  better? :)
01[13:00] {Threei}  it's very jumpy
[13:00] {scottie} was at that time, lol
01[13:07] {Threei}  will is almost there
01[13:08] {Threei}  Who Will Win? 51% Say #Obama, 39% #Romney
[13:10] {scottie} Half out
[13:12] {Will49} I'm back on Mibbit:(
01[13:13] {Threei}  you connect with incorrect password
01[13:13] {Threei}  so it kicks you out
[13:13] {Will49} same password I use for mibbit
01[13:13] {Threei}  unlikre previous attemots, this time it takes you to the right server,
[13:14] {Will49} yes
01[13:14] {Threei}  and kicks out upon attempot to connects
01[13:14] {Threei}  to connect
[13:14] {Will49} yes
01[13:14] {Threei}  that happens only with incorrect username or password
01[13:14] {Threei}  now, notive that it says "banned"
[13:14] {Will49} yes
01[13:14] {Threei}  that hapopens when you connect, get kicked out, and try to connect again right away
01[13:15] {Threei}  there is time interval for a sefrver to clear ban after first unsuccessful atempt
01[13:15] {Threei}  about 1-2 min
01[13:15] {Threei}  so even if you correct the password, it won't let you in if you do it right away
[13:16] {Will49} I waited longer than that between attempts
01[13:16] {Threei}  try this:
01[13:17] {Threei}  after it kicks you out, do NOT close mirc, wait couple min,
01[13:17] {Threei}  then type in the lower lime /login
01[13:17] {Threei}  it will offer you a prompt for username and password again
01[13:17] {Threei}  enter both
01[13:17] {Threei}  make sure no caps lock is on etc
[13:20] {Will49} Ok one more once and then into the "too hard" box it goes:)
[13:23] {cc_8} if will is using irc did he put the required command line in /perform?
01[13:24] {Threei}  he is trying to connect right channels, so I'd think yes
01[13:26] {Threei}  well?
[13:26] {cc_8} will did you put the password command in your perform area of irc?
[13:26] {Will49} When I typed in "login" said I'm not on a channel
01[13:27] {Threei}  did you type login or /login?
[13:27] {Will49} just login
01[13:27] {Threei}  :)
01[13:27] {Threei}  slash is command
01[13:27] {Threei}  without slash it's kust blabbering :)
[13:27] {Will49} thought /login was one of you fat finger slips
01[13:27] {Threei}  nope
[13:27] {Will49} :)
[13:28] {Will49} ok my bad
[13:28] {Will49} trying again
[13:30] {robbers} Will, if it makes you feel any better, I had a hard time getting it set up, too.  But it's worth it.
