Beautiful start to the day with 7 wins out of 8 calls. One great trade got away as it never gave us a pullback for entry. Chart is educational anyway, look at this classic C&H followed by explosion

[09:39] {dino} cat sm s .47

01[09:54] {Threei} SLW 1:3, out
[09:55] {Les} interesting to be trading the inverse of someone else in the room, yet not feel threatened by it
[09:55] {Les} 15:53] {dino} c sm l .90
01[09:56] {Threei} why not, this is at the 1:1 of our entry
[09:56] {thomcbell} covering half hig 26.44
[09:56] {thomcbell} stop to break even
01[09:56] {Threei} our risk is covered,
01[09:56] {Threei} our stop is at 45 break,
[09:56] {dino} lots of ways to trae les
[09:56] {Les} yer right of course
01[09:56] {Threei} which kills the balance of our trades and adds fuekl to dino's trade
[09:56] {thomcbell} hig 1:1
[09:57] {dino} you gys need to cover and push it up for me
[09:57] {Les} but Dino doing that would have me jumping ship or changing sides, today I just shrugged
01[09:57] {Threei} and if you ask what fuekl is, you need the Treeiihs-English dictionary
[09:57] {Les} I smell another book sale coming
01[09:57] {Threei} we will at 45 break dino
[09:58] {dino} "shrugged" i like that, as in atlas

01[10:13] {Threei} just a snapback
01[10:14] {Threei} I wouldn't pklay it long, but snapback potential is enough to keep me from shorting it here
01[10:14] {Threei} watch CAT for possibler db

01[10:19] {Threei} always
01[10:20] {Threei} strange divergence between GLD and SLW
[10:20] {Les} slv?
01[10:21] {Threei} ok... between SLV and SLW too
01[10:21] {Threei} I just don't like trading SLV

[10:26] {Les} that I guess. sudden drop into support
[10:27] {Les} C's a dirty prick
[10:27] {nemo} gave ya' the strap-on huh?
[10:28] {Les} nah had the direciton but squeezed bugger all out ofit
[10:28] {cc_9} Russell (IWM) taking the lead now, SPY lagging.
[10:28] {cc_9} Finally!
[10:28] {Les} IWM 15 mins way out of bb's bounce back only natural
[10:29] {Les} banksters overextended too
01[10:30] {Threei} Short Setup: COH .40 break hl
01[10:30] {Threei} If holds .50
01[10:31] {Threei} Invalidated
[10:31] {Les} CAT death
01[10:34] {Threei} Short Setup: LVS 53 break
01[10:34] {Threei} If holds .10
[10:36] {dino} c sm l .57
01[10:36] {Threei} 1:1

[10:44] {ese} L fig sm .05
[10:45] {ese} what the fig eh?
01[10:45] {Threei} 1:1
01[10:45] {Threei} and has at least 1:3 potential
01[10:45] {Threei} really ese... lol
[10:45] {ese} lol
01[10:46] {Threei} 1:2
01[10:46] {Threei} that was really good strcture for the play Les
01[10:46] {Threei} 1:3, my a$$ is out
[10:47] {Will49} good call Les
[10:47] {Les} half rationalised half intuition, given SLW is on screen at same time and looking like a dog
[10:48] {Les} difficult to ignore the attempt to break .50 at 10:38
01[10:49] {Threei} you can view it as a min-C&H, with aggressive entry
01[10:49] {Threei} mini
[10:49] {Les} was gonna call it but thought no too small
[10:49] {Les} gonna ask about it
01[10:49] {Threei} a bit, yeah, that's why mini
[10:50] {Les} had to ignore my indicators for that one ;)
01[10:50] {Threei} anyway, we are what, 6 for 6?
[10:50] {Will49} :)
01[10:50] {Threei} Les, let me offer you an experiment
01[10:51] {Threei} just do it for a week, andf it will do wonders for your trading
01[10:51] {Threei} starting tomorrow
01[10:51] {Threei} eliminate everything from your charts
01[10:51] {Threei} leave price and volume, period
01[10:51] {Threei} not even those few I use
[10:51] {Les} uh can I keep my bb's?
01[10:52] {Threei} in a week
[10:52] {Les} hmmmm
01[10:52] {Threei} 4 days with nothing
[10:52] {cc_9} TNA, all out here, sweet trade.
[10:52] {nemo} vodka?
[10:52] {Les} done
[10:52] {Les} feel naked
01[10:52] {Threei} 1 min candlestick chart, daily chart, volume
01[10:52] {Threei} right, you will
01[10:53] {Threei} and it will force you in using minimalist setup,
01[10:53] {Threei} and minmalist setup gives you incredible clarity
01[10:53] {Threei} Your brain searches for patterns,
01[10:53] {Threei} it will have to finsd them in merely price and volume
01[10:53] {Threei} you will be amazed what it sees
01[10:54] {Threei} and how liberating it is
01[10:54] {Threei} Next Monday, add BBs back
[10:54] {thomcbell} i got a lot of setups out of the reversal section in the course so far today
01[10:54] {Threei} maybe MA
[10:54] {nemo} vodka?
01[10:54] {Threei} 111 Trades you mean, tbell?
[10:55] {cc_9} Vad speaks the truth, simplicity is key when you are trading based on charts.
01[10:55] {Threei} nemo, stop asking... it goes without saying
[10:55] {thomcbell} yes - been doing continual reviewing
[10:55] {thomcbell} VERY HELPFUL esp. on day like today
01[10:55] {Threei} :)
01[10:56] {Threei} http://goo.gl/AzzOn
[10:58] {dino} asr smr l .05
[10:59] {backman} Les, I will be trading over your shoulder....:=)
[10:59] {Les} one thing is clear, I know need to identify candlesticks
[11:00] {Les} now
01[11:00] {Threei} as in japanese formations?
[11:00] {backman} your wife will thank u for them
[11:00] {Les} yeh
01[11:00] {Threei} nah, don't overcomplicate it, keep it to the simplest level
01[11:01] {Threei} doji, star
[11:01] {Les} no, just individual
[11:01] {Les} yeh
01[11:01] {Threei} grab an MPP
[11:01] {jfjf64} has
01[11:01] {Threei} they are all in there'
[11:01] {Les} heaven forbid I couldn't identifly formations
[11:01] {jfjf64} short ??
01[11:01] {Threei} not sure jf...
[11:02] {Les} damn MSFT has stopped squeezing
[11:02] {Les} forgot 31
[11:03] {thomcbell} short setup hig 26.43 break if holding 26.50
[11:04] {Les} slw .75 short?
[11:05] {Les} GDX seems better defined as seutp but this could be just jellyfish action. can't tell...
[11:05] {Les} feel naked
01[11:05] {Threei} trim your activity dow why your brain adjusts
01[11:06] {Threei} swicth to paper, see how it works
01[11:06] {Threei} why = while
[11:06] {Les} aaagh this is a conspiracy to get me to shut up
[11:06] {Les} now I see it
[11:07] {Les} p&v limits me to your setups
[11:07] {Les} or perhaps restrains me...
01[11:07] {Threei} well, yes but it doeas one more thing, most important
[11:07] {Les} pattern visual recognistion?
01[11:07] {Threei} it makes you start seeing only clearest of the setups
[11:08] {Les} hmmm
[11:08] {Les} k
01[11:08] {Threei} filter out marginal ones
01[11:08] {Threei} see, the trade should scream at you
01[11:08] {Threei} when it says, :hey, I might be there" - shrug and walk by
01[11:08] {Threei} when it screams "Oh Les, take me, take me..."
[11:09] {Les} not a frikin word nemo
01[11:09] {Threei} lol
01[11:09] {Threei} recall again that GLD setup
01[11:09] {Threei} not even setup itself, but how you felt when saw it
01[11:10] {Threei} intuitive feel that it's a really good one
[11:10] {nemo} ?
01[11:10] {Threei} now look at both SLW and GDX
01[11:11] {Threei} do they have this drive, this feel of imminent resolution coming?
[11:11] {Les} nooooope
01[11:11] {Threei} they are like a jellyfish hanging from a flagpole in windless afternoon
[11:11] {dino} actg
01[11:12] {Threei} and here is a kicker:
01[11:12] {Threei} no indicator will show you that
[11:12] {stevw} BBRY looking interesting at 13.85?
01[11:12] {Threei} you get to feel these things when you listen the original market language
[11:12] {jfjf64} price/vol
[11:12] {nemo} {&Threei} they are like a jellyfish hanging from a flagpole in windless afternoon
01[11:12] {Threei} BBRY, looked at it a few times today
01[11:13] {Threei} formally, setup is here
[11:13] {nemo} mmmm...something tells me Les can identify with that analogy
01[11:13] {Threei} but activity is very low on it
[11:13] {Will49} LOL
01[11:13] {Threei} narrow, no pace, no volume
01[11:13] {Threei} I am afraid this one will hold us hostage for two hours
[11:13] {dino} actg sm s .80 break
01[11:14] {Threei} stay with these naked charts Les
[11:14] {stevw} being held hostage for hours is certainly consistent with my last week's trading!
01[11:14] {Threei} hehe
[11:14] {nemo} it's also consistent with Les' marriage
[11:14] {Les} oh that is just so naughty nemo
[11:14] {Les} no shame
01[11:14] {Threei} week later, you won't believe how much difference it makes
[11:14] {Will49} hit a nerve there nemo
[11:16] {stevw} i've been trading tsx stocks only so far, and the days have started active, then gone dead
01[11:16] {Threei} that usually happens on market positive days
[11:16] {Les} RIG .40 short if holding .50?
01[11:16] {Threei} selling days are more active
[11:16] {stevw} aaah
[11:17] {Les} ACTG 23 short?
01[11:17] {Threei} man... I haven';t had time to look at one stock, and I already have no time to look at another
01[11:17] {Threei} RIG, no
[11:17] {Les} ACTG has gone
[11:18] {dino} yes les
[11:21] {Les} MSFT .80 interesting
[11:22] {dino} out tol .40, +.30
[11:25] {Les} cover ACTG +.30 ty dino
[11:26] {Les} MSFT .80 short?
01[11:28] {Threei} charts right, just don't expect it to be fast
[11:28] {Les} dam wall to be broken at .80

[11:43] {stevw} volume backed off quickly
01[11:44] {Threei} if not for this headline, this thing would have sat in the range for hours
01[11:44] {Threei} even with it, it's anemic

01[13:28] {Threei} sorry
01[13:29] {Threei} if I am wrong, trading gods will punish me with stop
[13:32] {Will49} not available
01[13:34] {Threei} gods say it's wrong
06[13:34] * Threei pours ashes on his head and swears off shorting gold
[13:34] {Will49} even god couldn't borrow shares
[13:39] {nemo} will, you can always trade inverse gold etf
[13:39] {jfjf64} 3i
01[13:40] {Threei} jf
[13:41] {nemo} anybody else get a 2.3 million bar on spy just after 1:30?
[13:42] {nemo} hings looking like they might pull in here
[13:42] {nemo} things
[13:42] {Will49} yes, here
01[13:43] {Threei} yes
[13:43] {nemo} interesting
[13:43] {Will49} but aren't we all looking at the same 1 minute chart?
[13:43] {nemo} ?
[13:43] {nemo} Les Jr.
01[13:43] {Threei} some charts are more equal than others willl
[13:43] {nemo} or senior as the case may be
[13:44] {Will49} hmmm
[13:44] {thomcbell} long setup for a scalp only - kors 52.02 break if holding 51.92
[13:45] {thomcbell} target 1:2
[13:47] {Will49} so, is it not true that the only way you wouldn't "see" a volume spike like that is if you don't have volume as one of your indicators?
[13:48] {nemo} or you aren't looking at the screen, don't have spy up, are blind...etc
[13:48] {Will49} of course
01[13:48] {Threei} it is... nemo asked because that was very unusual spike, and sometimes it's simply a software fluke, so he wanted to make sure it appears across other platforms
[13:48] {Will49} ok i get it
[13:49] {Will49} apologies nemo for thinking you asked a stupid question:)
[13:49] {Will49} live and learn
01[13:49] {Threei} also, considering that nemo himself is pretty much a fluke...
[13:49] {nemo} ow
[13:49] {nemo} sniff
06[13:49] * nemo racks slide
06[13:50] * Threei hides underneath nearest rock
06[13:50] * nemo calls in drone attack
[13:50] {Will49} are you going to show slides of your vacation nemo?
[13:51] {nemo} don't make me pee my pants laughing
[13:51] {Will49} you Americans even know all the technical terms for your gun parts I see
[13:52] {nemo} I sell 'em, I better
[13:52] {Will49} admirable
[13:52] {thomcbell} kors invalid
01[13:52] {Threei} no kidding
[13:52] {nemo} oh, that spike looks like the prelude to the pullback...bastids
01[13:53] {Threei} I still remember a salesperson from a NY store that, asked whether they ship to Canada, said sorry, no overseas shimpping
[13:53] {Will49} lol
01[13:53] {Threei} I mean I knew that some in US are not very well versed in geography, but...
[13:54] {nemo} Usually Americans are getting dinged for their Phillistine skills in geography, so in the early 80's I'm in Germany and the conversation goes like this, "So you're from Boston, is that on the east coast or the west coast?"
01[13:54] {Threei} the number of people all over the net that last week confused Chechnya with Chechoslovakia...
[13:55] {Will49} we Canucks (with our inferiority complex)love to collect anecdotes like that
01[13:55] {Threei} but the best ones are the stories of Eiropenas booking vacations in Sidney... Nova Scotia, instead of Australia
01[13:56] {Threei} happened more than once
[13:56] {nemo} now canucks, you're somewhere between homo habilus and australopithicus, right?
01[13:56] {Threei} small town, total backwater
01[13:56] {Threei} cold
01[13:56] {Threei} guys walk off a plane in shorts and t-shirts
01[13:56] {Threei} looking around, bewildered
[13:57] {nemo} tuning in to the eagles nests
[13:57] {Will49} is that part of Vad's joke?
01[13:58] {Threei} not a joke
01[13:58] {Threei} http://www.capebretonpost.com/Travel/2009-08-10/article-772237/Flying-Dutchmen-land-in-wrong-Sydney/1
01[13:58] {Threei} just one of exanples
[13:58] {Will49} thought there was a punch-line coming
[13:58] {Will49} you know...two guys walk into a bar...
01[13:59] {Threei} as far as travellers were concerned, punch happened right at the airport
[14:00] {dino} both guys say "ouch"
01[14:00] {Threei} The grandfather and grandson aren't the first travellers who came to Sydney, N.S. thinking they were headed to Australia.
01[14:00] {Threei} In August 2002, Raeoul Sebastian and Emma Nunn, both of London, England, spent their vacation in Cape Breton and became local celebrities after a flight mix-up brought them to another Sydney.
01[14:00] {Threei} And in December, an Argentinian woman, Monique Rozanes Torres Aguero of Buenos Aires, had been daydreaming about her vacation in Sydney, Australia, when her Air Canada Jazz flight landed in Sydney, N.S.
[14:01] {Will49} changing planes in Montreal should have tipped her off
01[14:05] {Threei} White House: Boston Marathon suspect will not be tried as an enemy combatant
01[14:06] {Threei} Canadian police to announce arrests in planned terrorist attack; suspects detained in Ontario, Quebec
01[14:13] {Threei} total stall everywhere
01[14:14] {Threei} if SPY breaks 156, I'd look for TNA long
01[14:14] {Threei} there
01[14:14] {Threei} half lot .35 break
[14:15] {nemo} they're going for the overhead gaps
01[14:15] {Threei} just take profit or partial as you see fit, I can't assign a target here
01[14:15] {Threei} 1:1
01[14:18] {Threei} White House expresses support for the internet sales tax bill due to be taken up in the Senate today; feels bill will level playing field for businesses
01[14:20] {Threei} (EU) ECB's Noyer: Cyprus crisis is not a sign of fragility for the EMU
01[14:20] {Threei} no, it's a sign of strenght
01[14:20] {Threei} imbecile
[14:21] {dino} mx spike
01[14:21] {Threei} 1:2
[14:21] {nemo} spy and iwm into the gap

01[14:22] {Threei} yw
01[14:22] {Threei} cc9 shamed me into playing TNA
[14:22] {nemo} what's the russian word for "wimp"?
06[14:23] * Threei slaps nemo around a bit with a 2x4 decorated with peaceful pink tie at the working end
[14:23] {nemo} fine....I have other sources
01[14:24] {Threei} like, umm, google?
[14:24] {nemo} like, um....Al
01[14:25] {Threei} http://lmgtfy.com/?q=russian+for+wimp
01[14:27] {Threei} fair warning for all who speaks russian here... don't waste your time teaching nemo, he remembers only swear words
01[14:27] {Threei} and uses them non-sparingly
[14:28] {nemo} the algo has nothing but green on it and getting stronger, bend over bears
[14:28] {dino} bohica
01[14:28] {Threei} yeah ursine sodomy is back on agenda
