01[08:49] {Threei} morning guys
[08:50] {nemo} I'll make the assumption that is NOT directed at me
01[08:51] {Threei} why?

01[08:57] {Threei} really? why?
[08:57] {nemo} can you delete it from Les' platform?
[08:58] {KSystems} because it lacks all the useless colorfulness of today's mainstream taste
[08:59] {KSystems} maybe some sites still use it as a backend for frontends like our mibbit
[09:04] {dino} gm

[09:52] {cc_9} Stocktwits has got to be the biggest circle jerk of all websites
[09:52] {Les} thought they were the best of the best
[09:52] {cc_9} Pre-market everyone was slamming their keyboards that AAPL would tank and they were all short
[09:52] {cc_9} Now everyone is long AAPL and is making their biggest trades ever
[09:52] {cc_9} makes me cringe
01[09:53] {Threei} those who are losing stop talking and won't ever admit it
01[09:53] {Threei} those who win scream loud

01[09:54] {Threei} sure enough FB went up
01[09:55] {Threei} sll of a sudden everyone was talking how it was too obvious, and had to be a losing trade
[09:55] {cc_9} I read enough about the RIMM shorts (pre BBRY) who were calling the death of it
01[09:55] {Threei} no single voice a;erted about it before the date
01[09:55] {Threei} we called FB long based on that alone

[11:11] {Les} I am sufficiently intrigued that I'll keep the trading platform clean for further practise
[11:12] {Les} after this week
[11:12] {Les} you see
01[11:12] {Threei} well, you found CAT
[11:12] {dino} less is more les

01[11:13] {Threei} trading gods are telling you something dino :)
[11:13] {Les} true
[11:13] {dino} telloing me to bend over
01[11:13] {Threei} or talk to cc_9, lol
01[11:14] {Threei} Les, to be sure:
[11:15] {dino} sheesh, finally
01[11:15] {Threei} the idea is not to maske you trade without any visual help
01[11:15] {Threei} rather to make you pay major attention to the substance of the chart
[11:15] {dino} i guess i'll just imagine it
01[11:16] {Threei} which is price formation
01[11:16] {Threei} and use indcitaors as they should be used - as help
[11:16] {cc_9} Dino, what platform are you on ?
01[11:17] {Threei} too many take trades going by indicators alone
01[11:17] {Threei} "MACD crossed, I am in"
[11:17] {Les} yeh, been a slave to indicators, this I can see
[11:17] {dino} schwab, street smart pro
[11:18] {cc_9} Time to switch to a trading platform then.
[11:18] {dino} cnbc said denial of use attracks on schwab this a.m.
01[11:18] {Threei} lol
[11:18] {Les} well it worked dino
[11:19] {cc_9} Dino, you have 2 options : 1) you switch to Das, Laser, Fusion etc...or you have to send Anonymous 1,000 bitcoins to stop the DDoS
01[11:19] {Threei} that reminded me an old joke about CEOs of Heinecken, Pielsen and Guiness in the bar
01[11:20] {Threei} first says to a bartender "give me a pint of the best light beer in the world, Heinecken"
01[11:20] {Threei} second orders his, with some marketing bs too
01[11:20] {Threei} Guiness CEO asks for a glass of lemonade
[11:21] {dino} for most part its a good platform. once in awhile (just like others) an issue
01[11:21] {Threei} first two surprised, ask why wouldn't he order his Guiness
01[11:21] {Threei} he says: well, out of sheer comradiere... you don't drink beer, so I won't either
[11:21] {Les} hehehe

01[12:25] {Threei} too volatile for my taste, stev
[12:25] {Will49} maybe nor old
[12:25] {Will49} not
[12:25] {Will49} how was the shower Vad?
[12:26] {Will49} I need to take some ritalin...I'm rambling on
[12:28] {stevw} Vad, is that a general comment about LULU, or it's price action today?
[12:28] {stevw} its
[12:31] {dino} your nickname makes me think of family guy
01[12:31] {Threei} both
[12:31] {stevw} i don't watch the show, but i suspect i wouldn't choose it
01[12:31] {Threei} it's generally thin stock
01[12:32] {Threei} and today it's less jumpy than udual but still
01[12:32] {Threei} usual
[12:32] {stevw} i take it the "thin" comment isn't in reference to the asses of their yoga pants
[12:33] {dino} lol
01[12:33] {Threei} no... lol
01[12:33] {Threei} thin as in thinly traded
[12:33] {stevw} sorry, my mind goes elsewhere first
[12:34] {stevw} i'll have to think about your answer in relation to how i'm looking at today's chart and seeing a trend continuation
[12:34] {stevw} i haven't been factoring in volume adequately perhaps
[12:35] {dino} mkt drop
01[12:35] {Threei} trend is fine... but look how it jumps sometimes 30 cents and more in single bar
01[12:35] {Threei} how do you control risk when it moves like this
[12:35] {stevw} but is .30 meaningful in a $75 stock?
01[12:36] {Threei} it's more of a dino/cipher territory
01[12:36] {Threei} well, how large of a stop you want to maintain, whatever the price of a stock is?
01[12:36] {Threei} I mainly try to pick stocks where 10-15 cents stop can be kept
01[12:37] {Threei} the move in a smooth manner
01[12:37] {Threei} they
01[12:37] {Threei} their spread tends to be 1-2 cents
[12:37] {stevw} that's a question i'm still resolving for myself - am i setting the stop relative to price movement or to my individual trade tolerance
01[12:37] {Threei} luckily, I resolved it for you :)
[12:38] {stevw} cool!
01[12:38] {Threei} http://blog.realitytrader.com/2007/04/stops-why-and-how.html
[12:38] {stevw} yes, i know i'll have to read it a few times to get it to settle in
01[12:39] {Threei} look through all our today's trades,
01[12:39] {Threei} or any day's actually,
01[12:39] {Threei} how often do you see a stop set more than 10 cents?
01[12:40] {Threei} next question will be, can you keep such stop when a spread is 20 cents?
[12:40] {stevw} you wouldn't do that with AAPL though, would you?
01[12:40] {Threei} or when a stpock jumps 30 cents in a single breath?
01[12:40] {Threei} hell no, lol
01[12:40] {Threei} look at it this way:
01[12:40] {Threei} you can control risk this way,
01[12:40] {Threei} or you can move into dino and cipher type of stocks
01[12:41] {Threei} and play much more volatile ones with wider stop and smaller shares size
01[12:41] {Threei} nothing worng with that, but let's learn to walk before run
[12:41] {stevw} indeed
[12:42] {Les} C dropped harder and faster than what I thought it would
[12:42] {Les} such a lovely evening, took a walk to the shops
01[12:43] {Threei} after this morning you had enough to shop woth
01[12:43] {Threei} with
[12:44] {Les} could have done better. WAlked into BBY and CAT expecting only scalps, which is what I was paid
01[12:45] {Threei} OK, so you just had a coffee and bagel...
[12:45] {Les} can see the need to keep it light and easy as the market bottoms and grinds up, but when the trade is there, not to get too focused on what it should or shouldn't do
01[12:46] {Threei} CAT, waitching for short if bounces into .40 - .50 range
01[12:46] {Threei} you are getting it Les... inch by inch, step by step
[12:46] {Les} I see how you pick the weakest links and attack them for all they're good for
01[12:46] {Threei} exactly
01[12:47] {Threei} sorry, wrong spelling... ekzaqtly
01[12:47] {Threei} you want a dinner, don't fight a young healthy lion
01[12:47] {Threei} you will make his dinner'
01[12:47] {Threei} pick a tired anthelope
01[12:48] {Threei} and hit it with 2x4 you just took from nemo while he was drunk
[12:48] {Les} while he was trying to hit me no doubt
01[12:48] {Threei} Short Setup: CAT .40 break
01[12:48] {Threei} If holds .50
[12:49] {Les} maybe .50 recross
01[12:50] {Threei} btw, notice how you start see theswe strategic things better when you get rid of all that indicator abundance on your charts
[12:50] {Les} not focusing on squiggly lines, yeh
01[12:50] {Threei} seeing proverbial forest through the no less proverbial trees
01[12:51] {Threei} change CAT to .50 break short
01[12:51] {Threei} If holds .60
01[12:54] {Threei} 1:1
[13:08] {Les} C .10 short?
[13:08] {Les} holding .20?
01[13:09] {Threei} yes
01[13:12] {Threei} good thing we grabbed all we could in the morning, action has almost stopped
[13:28] {Les} Good news spin on appointment of Italian Prime Minister.
[13:28] {Les} journalist obviously doesn't know italina politics
01[13:29] {Threei} 1:1
01[13:29] {Threei} took its sweet time
[13:29] {Les} can I go home now? :)
01[13:29] {Threei} but whatever... adds to a nice day's profit
01[13:29] {Threei} (US) Senate moves internet sales tax bill through procedural process - press**Note: On Apr 21st - US Senate expected to support internet sales tax - financial press - The Senate is expected to pass the 'Marketplace Fairness Act' this week, which would allow states to tax online purchases, closing what supporters call an unfair loophole that benefits online retailers over brick-and-mortar shops. Currently, states can only collect sales taxes from retailers that physically located within their state. - Though it is expected to pass the Senate, it may have a more difficult time in the House
01[13:30] {Threei} no Les... you need creamceese with lox on that bagel
[13:30] {Les} lox? sounds dangerous
01[13:30] {Threei} want me to google that for you? :)

[13:31] {Les} :P
01[13:31] {Threei} http://lmgtfy.com/?q=lox

[13:32] {Les} pacific silver salmon
01[13:32] {Threei} man... you Europeans don't know basic foods {G}
[13:32] {Les} oh and that stuff that comes out of yer trees
[13:32] {nemo} yes, and you not being in North America is addition by subtraction
[13:33] {jdetente} making me hungry... lunchtime just about
01[13:33] {Threei} nemo gets award of the day for the most sophisticated insult of the day
[13:33] {Les} nah that stank Nemo. C'mon, u already on the bottle?
[13:34] {Will49} good one nemo
[13:35] {cc_9} LAD slow creeper all AM after that pre-market death.
[13:41] {nemo} you can tell it's sophisticated when Les says it stinks
[13:42] {nemo} another utterance by the Luddite proletariat
[13:43] {Les} me, proletariat?
[13:43] {nemo} you missed the first adjective
[13:43] {Les} luddite I accept
[13:43] {Les} but I can't remember the last time I worked a real job
[13:43] {Les} which makes me less than proletariat
01[13:44] {Threei} so you are lazy proletariat
[13:44] {nemo} lumpen
[13:44] {nemo} phillistine
[13:44] {Les} was gonna ask you for another adjective
[13:44] {Les} but apparently there is lazy proletariat
[13:44] {Les} I can wear that badge with pride
[13:44] {nemo} Les rides the short bus
01[13:44] {Threei} I never took it off
01[13:45] {Threei} when asked if I want a shovel, I ask back whether they have one with engine
01[13:46] {Threei} and when asked whether I am, per chance, a coal miner, I say I am not one per principle, not per chance
[13:46] {Les} it's taken me a while
[13:46] {Les} but I see this now as good guidance for life
01[13:47] {Threei} which one
01[13:47] {Threei} took a while I mean
[13:50] {Les} being a lazy prolo
[13:50] {Les} intellectuals get bumped off
[13:50] {Les} or derided like the idiots in charge today
[13:51] {Les} businessmen get taxed and strung up for imaginery offences against those inpower
[13:51] {Les} better to be an anonymous bum
[13:51] {cc_9} Have another drink Les.
[13:52] {nemo} try the hemlock tea with honey
[13:52] {Will49} mean bunch
[13:54] {Les} a drink. sounds like a good idea
01[14:17] {Threei} Short Setup: GLD 138 break hl

[15:02] {Les} another commodity trying to find a bottom
01[15:03] {Threei} can't tell between double top or breakout
[15:03] {Les} yeh
01[15:11] {Threei} (SI) Slovenia Govt forecasts banking system requiring approximately �900M -
01[15:12] {Threei} next crisis creeping closer
[15:12] {Les} hmmm gnat on an elephants ass no?
01[15:12] {Threei} 900 M of course will quickly turn to be 4B
[15:12] {Les} I'm waiting for France to crap itself
01[15:13] {Threei} it's not even the size of these local failures
01[15:13] {Threei} it's indication of the whole structure being non-viable
01[15:13] {Threei} so weak points and cracks appear here and there
01[15:13] {Threei} until they create a net of bigger cracks
01[15:14] {Threei} and whole thing goes crashing down
[15:14] {nemo} yeah, try to explain that to my lefty friends...the high tax european economies are going broke, so why do you think raising taxes will work here?
[15:14] {Les} cause dummies like your neighbours will vote for it
01[15:14] {Threei} but nemo
[15:14] {Les} neighbours as in whole country
01[15:14] {Threei} they don't see it this way
[15:15] {nemo} I know
01[15:15] {Threei} they don't beluieve it's high taxation-central planning that is at fault
01[15:15] {Threei} they think it's speculators attacking the system
01[15:15] {Threei} bond vigilantes
01[15:15] {Threei} futures traders
01[15:16] {Threei} currency traders
01[15:16] {Threei} HFT
01[15:16] {Threei} day traders
01[15:16] {Threei} list is endless
[15:16] {nemo} les
[15:16] {Les} heck they don't even sell it as tax anymore. call it 'obamacare'...
[15:16] {nemo} forgot him
[15:16] {Les} :)
[15:16] {Les} 'jobs' act
01[15:17] {Threei} when did communists think their dream system was a failure
01[15:17] {Threei} it's always damn capitalists
[15:18] {nemo} there weren't any capitalists in the Soviet Union, whose fault was that?
01[15:18] {Threei} depends on period
[15:19] {nemo} always comes back to women
01[15:19] {Threei} in Stalin times it was people's enemies, foreign spies
[15:19] {Les} good one nemo
01[15:19] {Threei} always world capitalism of course, at any time
[15:20] {Les} damn WLT for being sneaky prick
[15:22] {Les} slw and GDX have short potential here. Not sure though

[15:35] {Les} http://tinyurl.com/bqyeakt
[15:35] {Les} someone dares to say it in Germany
01[15:35] {Threei} 5 years?
01[15:36] {Threei} sounds way too optinistic to me
01[15:36] {Threei} tensions rise faster that that
[15:36] {Les} you always were a pessimist
01[15:36] {Threei} actually it's optimism
01[15:36] {Threei} the faster it breaks down the better
01[15:39] {Threei} Rather than accept the break-up of the euro, the German government is demanding tighter, Europe-wide controls over national budgets.
01[15:39] {Threei} heh
01[15:42] {Threei} very boring afternoon
[15:46] {cc_9} have a good EOD fellas
