June 10 2013

A few nice plays, particularly IWM 1:4 catch, but overall, a lot of rinses, shakeouts and invalidations that left us in the red. See-saw Monday.


Session Time: Mon Jun 10 00:00:00 2013

[08:37] {nemo} Always look on the bright side of life...dada...dada...dadadadadada
[08:49] {nemo} UPRO split so will likely be more liquid to trade
[08:50] {dino} gm
01[08:50] {&Threei}  morning dino
[08:55] {nemo} dino, plug the market back in, will you
[08:56] {+cc_9} Morning gents
[08:56] {nemo} see they split UPRO 9?
[08:58] {stevw} nemo, i thought your line from that song would be "life's a piece of s**t, when you look at it"
[08:59] {nemo} I step out of character on occasion
[09:00] {stevw} no problem, we still have some crosses left
01[09:00] {&Threei}  cc9, stev :)
[09:00] {jdetente} Good morning...
01[09:00] {&Threei}  jd :)
[09:02] {nemo} Yes the Crack Suicide Cross of The People's Front of Judea, or was that the Judean People's Front?
[09:02] {stevw} serious question - what the heck is that premarket spread in GIL?
[09:02] {stevw} absolutely love the political and religious satire!!
[09:02] {nemo} why look?
[09:03] {stevw} i'm just curious how you get a $4.31 bid against a $44 offer
[09:03] {stevw} i accidentally typed the ticker symbol, actually
[09:04] {cipher} gm
01[09:04] {&Threei}  cipher :)
[09:08] {stevw} btw, i have a public service announcement for all canadians on the board
01[09:08] {&Threei}  loonie is no more?
[09:09] {stevw} no such luck - it's about my banking woes from last week
[09:09] {stevw} TD bank accidentally attached my ex-wife's account to my ATM card, 10 years after we had separated
01[09:09] {&Threei}  wow
[09:09] {stevw} my ATM deposits and withdrawals were going through her chequing account not mine
[09:10] {nemo} Can you sit down without pain?
[09:10] {stevw} and they say they're only responsible for things I catch within 30 days
[09:10] {nemo} talk to a lawyer
[09:10] {stevw} they're not responsible for what they did if it's older than 30 days
01[09:10] {&Threei}  that's pure unadeltered bs
[09:10] {_epach} morning
01[09:11] {&Threei}  morning epach
[09:11] {nemo} tardes
01[09:11] {&Threei}  they charged me for an account that turned out to be under their condition to be free, for about 7 years
[09:11] {stevw} i'll get it sorted somehow, but it's an alert to be vigilant with your banking records even or especially in this electronic age
01[09:11] {&Threei}  I phoned, asked to rfeturn the money
01[09:11] {&Threei}  they gave me this 30 days bs,
01[09:11] {&Threei}  I politely asked:
[09:12] {Alexs} gm
01[09:13] {&Threei}  do you mean to tell me that by your rules if I don't catch your error in time, my money somehow become yours, and you can dance "slipped one by him" dance? Us that what I quote on social medias, paper etc?
01[09:13] {&Threei}  alex :)
01[09:13] {&Threei}  she said "I'll be back with you in 2 min"
[09:13] {stevw} don't you love how they assume all the power and authority, but bugger all responsibility
01[09:14] {&Threei}  and returned advicing me in exctited tone that they reimburse whole 15 years of 14.99 monthly fee
[09:14] {_richa} If it would have been the other way around they would go back and correct it
[09:14] {stevw} rest assured i'll be having that type of discussion with the branch manager as a next step
01[09:14] {&Threei}  they did so within 1 hour
[09:15] {Will49} gm
01[09:15] {&Threei}  will :)
[09:15] {dino} gl stevw
[09:16] {jdetente} that's quite a quick change of tone on their part Vad. Scared the hell out of them I bet
[09:17] {backman} gm
01[09:17] {&Threei}  I geared up for a long battle with all levels of reps and supervisors
01[09:17] {&Threei}  bman :)
[09:17] {stevw} i need to adopt a russian accent and a beard maybe
01[09:17] {&Threei}  lol
[09:17] {jdetente} don't forget the pipe
01[09:17] {&Threei}  it was during that royal bank fiasco btw...
[09:17] {stevw} mmm, maybe not the pipe for the effect needed
[09:17] {Les} ...speaking of fiascos
01[09:17] {&Threei}  maybe they all were under strict "don't irritate clients" order
[09:17] {Les} good morning
01[09:18] {&Threei}  les :)
[09:18] {stevw} interesting entrance, les
[09:18] {robbers} I had the same situation, Vad, with SunTrust Bank and they reimbursed me.  But I had to get tough with them, LOL.
[09:18] {stevw} did you use your nickname?
01[09:18] {&Threei}  rofl!
[09:19] {robbers} LOL.  No, they wouldn't have done it in that case.  Very funny.
[09:19] {Will49} good one stev
[09:20] {stevw} i have my moments - but that's probably used up my wit for the rest of the day
01[09:20] {&Threei}  happens to me rgularly, and I switch to using nemo's
01[09:20] {&Threei}  that's why he looks so witless sometimes

01[10:03] {&Threei}  yes but he said nothing resolute
01[10:03] {&Threei}  repetition of all "one side, on another side"
01[10:04] {&Threei}  (US) Fed's Bullard (moderate, FOMC voter): Weak inflation data could possibly argue for prolonging QE asset purchases; monetary policy is being buffeted by better growth and weaker inflation- Labor market has been improving since summer 2012. - Inflation is low due to soft commodity prices, weaker European and China economic growth. - US economic growth has not been spectacular. - There are few signs that Fed monetary policy moves are unsettling financial markets.

[12:08] {jdetente} so Vad...why do they not rest the steaks?
[12:08] {jdetente} I've been programmed to rest after cooking...
[12:08] {robbers} I've been programmed to eat after cooking.
01[12:08] {&Threei}  rest is needed for big cuts of meat, for the juices to come back from center to the outer layers
[12:09] {Les} I do the opposite. sear it for colour and finish in oven
01[12:09] {&Threei}  in steak, there is not enough thickness for that
[12:09] {jdetente} ahh
[12:10] {Les} inverted cupa nd handle JPM

[15:33] {jdetente} well that about sums it up
01[15:33] {&Threei}  probably the most annoying day in last month or two
[15:33] {Les} everyone got their favourite time frame cc turnign green in 15 min and broke downtrend line and 3 min bullish divergence in MACD
[15:33] {patel} not a good day for me to return back.
[15:33] {+cc_9} CTSH .20s on deck, should be good for tomorrow.
[15:33] {jdetente} yeah, meh. Hit my threshold for the day. Going to call it. See you guys manana...
01[15:34] {&Threei}  you missed morning when we had couple big winners
01[15:34] {&Threei}  take care jd
[15:34] {nemo} caught IWM off the bottom
[15:34] {Les} taking a little more off CTSH here
[15:35] {Les} yeh you and bottoms are quite a pair Nemo
[15:36] {Les} I just gotta remember to ignore you vad on days like this
[15:37] {Les} it's funny how consistent the play is on these odd days out. probably means trend change in the works
[15:37] {nemo} Vad caught the bottom on IWM
[15:38] {Les} ah ok
[15:38] {nemo} trendless day after Memorial Day, summer trading has begun
[15:39] {Les} me 2 was short IWM before he chose tza everything else was under vwap
[15:39] {Les} iwm was the lynchpin holding it togethor today
[15:40] {~KSystems} nemo I've heard about that several times, that there are seasonal characteristics in the market, like summer trading or the second half of the year being different from the first
[15:40] {~KSystems} is there really such a thing that can be measured somehow?
[15:40] {Les} all out CTSH flat outta here a+ be in late if at all tomorrow
[15:40] {nemo} no doubt.  As you head into the Summer Mondays and Fridays tend to be quieter
[15:41] {nemo} look at volumes and the ATRs of the indices
[15:42] {nemo} What's interesting about these days, is you can see that it's mostly machines at work.  Long and short setups appear, they sense the order flow, and go the other way to bust the stops, at least in the indexes
[15:42] {Will49} they surely did that today
[15:43] {nemo} SPY volume is about 80 mil, 20 day average is 148 mil, 65 day average 129.5 mil
[15:44] {nemo} Vad, how many times during the Summer have you had to bandage your chin?
01[15:44] {&Threei}  dunno... summers are not created the same
01[15:44] {&Threei}  I had no complaints about last one
01[15:44] {&Threei}  was quite tradeablre
[15:45] {nemo} yeah, but we tend to have more untradeable days during the Summer
01[15:45] {&Threei}  gotta adjust of course
01[15:45] {&Threei}  sure
01[15:45] {&Threei}  and those that were nicely readable were still a bit differrnt from the rest of the year
01[15:46] {&Threei}  I guess I don't pay much attention to these things anynore because change is constant... it's an essence of the trading process
01[15:48] {&Threei}  after all this back and forth we are finishing about flat?
01[15:48] {&Threei}  SPY mocks us today
01[15:49] {&Threei} Short Setup: GDX  29 break
01[15:49] {&Threei}  If holds  .05 
[15:49] {nemo} this doesn't happen very often: it traded between the pivot and R1, touching neither
01[15:53] {&Threei}  Invalidated  
01[15:53] {&Threei}  that does it
01[15:53] {&Threei}  thank you all, have a good evening
01[15:53] {&Threei}  see you tomorrow
[15:53] {Will49} bye
[15:53] {nemo} oh, was talking about SPY
01[15:53] {&Threei}  me too
