[09:40] {nemo} should get to 33ish
01[09:40] {Threei}  got it right, got rinsed by couple cents
[09:40] {patel} i know
01[09:41] {Threei}  aside of profit/loss considerations, this kind makes you question your discipline
01[09:41] {Threei}  next time you get tempted to blow your stop
01[09:41] {Threei}  and it works
01[09:41] {Threei}  and you start blowing them every time
[09:41] {patel} i agree
01[09:41] {Threei}  and then that one comes and destroys your account
[09:42] {cipher} out scss -.12

01[09:53] {Threei}  SLW 1:3, out
01[09:53] {Threei}  say, your l,imit of tolerance is 10 cvents of chasing,

[09:54] {patel} thanks vad :)
01[09:54] {Threei}  you hit it with limit buy order .35
01[09:54] {Threei}  yw
01[09:54] {Threei}  it will swipe best available prices all the way from .25 to .35
01[09:54] {Threei}  but it won't chase higher
[09:54] {patel} I been away from trading for little over 3 years now. I visited your website once a week for the past 3 years. 
01[09:55] {Threei}  with market order at the open you are asking for a fill at the top of the spike
[09:55] {patel} Finally, I wanted to try trading and work a full time job.

01[11:24] {Threei}  (US) President Obama: Housing is coming back and US consumer confidence is high - address to business roundtable- Economy worldwide remains soft; Europe likely to be weak for some time - "Rooting" for US businesses to succeed - White House Budget proposal reflected a balanced and responsible approach; prepared to make difficult spending decisions, but we "can't cut our way to prosperity." - "we can probably resolve this in about a week, its not that complicated." The hold up right now is that Speaker Boehner has taken a stance against tax rate increases for the wealthy. Closing loopholes is just not enough. - It is bad strategy to put off addressing the debt ceiling until next year; I will 'not play that game' if Congress wants to push the country closer to default by negotiating with the debt ceiling. }- There is time to deal with tax reform next year.
01[11:25] {Threei}  we "can't cut our way to prosperity." {--- but we can spend our way to prosperity?

[12:51] {nemo} oh, just checked, 50 was at .05, that, may be the top
01[13:01] {Threei}  so, in theory GLD should give us 1:2 before finding support?
[13:02] {dino} it should search out that vwap
[13:02] {dino} they are like magnets
01[13:02] {Threei}  trying to compare it to my chart read
01[13:02] {Threei}  I'd go for 1:3
