Slow creep up day with low volume, not our trading environment. Not many setups worked as follow-through is minimal on such days, so finished in the red.

01[10:55] {Threei} may work second time arond, may fail again
01[10:56] {Threei} this is what patternless days are
[10:57] {Les} tight stop on LVS bounce at 55 might offer decent r/r
[11:02] {jdetente} sure is patternless. same failure on CAT again.

[11:09] {nemo} Bunny was apoplectic..she's never been around another rabbit
[11:09] {nemo} The baby was trying to nurse off her...she was spastic

[13:45] {Les} maybe a handle to add to that cup
01[13:45] {Threei} today most are "shrugging shoulders in irritated resignation" chart pattern
[13:46] {jdetente} or full moon patterns...that's what the stocks are showing us at least
[13:46] {Les} oughta make that one official
01[13:48] {Threei} hey, C is no moon
[13:48] {jdetente} I didn't say all stocks

01[13:49] {Threei} now wait for me while I stop laughing uncontrollably
[13:49] {Les} pathological is the term used in public recently I think
01[13:49] {Threei} that's wrong word
01[13:49] {Threei} "pathological nature of Wall Street" is oxymoron
[13:50] {Les} heh you're right
01[13:50] {Threei} if it's a nature it can't be pathologica
[13:52] {Les} no, but pathologization can be used to define behaviour and is synonymous with disease... quoting wiki
[13:55] {dino} rit
01[13:55] {Threei} well, either wall street's nature is patholofical from the point of view of an outsider, or its nature is normal and it deviated from its nature... which one is it?
[13:55] {stevw} TNA seems to want to have another go at it
01[13:56] {Threei} yeah, SPY prepares breakout, so TNA follows
[13:57] {jdetente} C stuck in the mud
