[11:42] {nemo} iwm might be long at trend here, hard to tell
[11:46] {+cc_9} massive sell block on SPY 1min
[11:46] {nemo} somebody throwing a brick trying to liven things up
[11:47] {nemo} things get any better we'll have to call the undertaker
[11:52] {+cc_9} Going long this drop SPY
[11:56] {Alexs} what's your target on SPY cc?
[11:58] {+cc_9} i expect another drop, im scaling for now
[11:58] {+cc_9} my tgt 167.40
[11:58] {+cc_9} a few cents below yesterday's closing price
[11:59] {Alexs} thanks
[12:00] {+cc_9} if u draw a line @ 167.21
[12:00] {+cc_9} you will see previous intraday support now resistance
[12:00] {+cc_9} so thats the # we need to crack for a bit of a reversal, for now, still wall.
[12:11] {nemo} indexes looking short
[12:12] {+cc_9} IWM looks relatively strong
[12:12] {+cc_9} hit 102.50s support and bounced
01[12:12] {&Threei}  stop at .11 btw
[12:15] {nemo} could...late
[12:15] {nemo} nevermind
[12:16] {+cc_9} IWM holding up much better than SPY
[12:17] {nemo} finnies having a rough time too
[12:17] {nemo} o.k. could make an argument for trip here if it stays under .35
[12:17] {nemo} short
[12:21] {nemo} watch for celg short 133.70-80 area
[12:21] {+cc_9} i dont see finnies having rough time
[12:21] {+cc_9} FAS is over its previous close
[12:21] {nemo} this area to .80 important
[12:22] {+cc_9} finnies actually doing the best out of all sectors today : http://finviz.com/map.ashx
[12:22] {nemo} well, celg got to .70
[12:23] {nemo} this is daily pivot on spy might hold it
[12:24] {nemo} range day, they're testing the bottom and holding so unless it drops it, likely to move to check the other side
[12:28] {nemo} trip bounce between 61 and 61.05
[12:30] {+cc_9} SPY stuck on that 161.20 level, regardless of volume, stuck.
[12:31] {nemo} what level?
[12:31] {+cc_9} the number before the word level
[12:32] {nemo} you mean 167?
[12:32] {+cc_9} 161.20
[12:32] {+cc_9} yes 167.20
[12:32] {+cc_9} going blind
[12:32] {nemo} start early today 9?
[12:32] {+cc_9} cc_9 if u draw a line @ 167.21 12:00 cc_9 you will see previous intraday support now resistance
[12:32] {+cc_9} redemption post
[12:32] {nemo} and .20 is the daily pivot
[12:33] {nemo} or .19 actually
[12:33] {nemo} ups bounce point
[12:35] {+cc_9} if gonna flush, just flush already, taking 1 hour to see the inevitable is a waste of time
[12:35] {nemo} summer trading
[12:35] {+cc_9} flush, get what you need, stack bids, wash rinse repeat. Seesaw for that algo spread commission is getting lame
[12:35] {nemo} good time to rearrange the sock drawer
[12:35] {nemo} clean the bellybutton lint
[12:35] {nemo} scrape the toe jam
[12:40] {+cc_9} come back nemo, we're moving now
[12:40] {+cc_9} put that toe down
[12:43] {+cc_9} closing in on that 167.40 target

[13:22] {Alexs} wtg
01[13:32] {&Threei}  you guys know why nemo is so quiet today?
01[13:33] {&Threei}  he remembered the rule "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"
[13:36] {nemo} not the way I learned it
[13:36] {+cc_9} hehe
01[13:36] {&Threei}  oh and... the rule number one around nemo:
[13:36] {nemo} man bites dog
01[13:37] {&Threei}  never tell him to "get a grip" - to him it means "around your neck"
[13:40] {nemo} wow, spy volume 54 mil
01[13:41] {&Threei}  next to nothing
[13:47] {nemo} fas just keeps climbing
[13:49] {+cc_9} 164.40 crushed and then some
[13:49] {Alexs} it seems hft traders will soon rent a space behind Ben's desk
[13:51] {ese} frustrating day this......out wfc .79 +.19
[13:52] {ese} i'm outta here for the weekend......have a good one ya'll am gonna go and drink my profits away cya
[13:54] {Alexs} are you still in FCX trade Vad?
01[13:58] {&Threei}  yes, 1/4
01[13:58] {&Threei}  can you believe it?
[13:59] {Alexs} Yeah I'm holding last piece too
01[14:01] {&Threei}  be back in 15-20
[14:05] {nemo} fas at trend support
[14:09] {nemo} alxn
[14:33] {nemo} ffiv above .40 might be worth a long, stop below .30
[14:34] {nemo} BA at support
01[14:37] {&Threei}  oh come on FCX
01[14:37] {&Threei}  die already
[14:37] {Alexs} covered at .92
01[14:38] {&Threei}  I decided not to cover at 1:3
01[14:39] {&Threei}  will try for more if it proceeds lower
[14:39] {nemo} well, it's still full red on my algo
[14:41] {nemo} fcx just shut off, so downward pressure is off
[14:41] {Alexs} great patience Vad
01[14:42] {&Threei}  slim pickings, so better squeeze all you can out of what works
01[14:43] {&Threei}  notice that as soon as we switched to fading setups and babysitting them into oblivion, profitable day came
01[14:43] {&Threei}  lesson in adjusting...
[14:47] {Alexs} more I watch the trading more I see that this is a matter of chance
[14:48] {nemo} probability
[14:48] {Alexs} yes you right
[14:49] {nemo} jeez, thanks Alex
[14:49] {Alexs} yw
[14:50] {nemo}  what size neck?
[14:52] {Alexs} you miss Les
[14:53] {nemo} like syphilis
[14:53] {RonS} lol...too much...
[14:54] {nemo} Les is kinda' like a chancre
[15:06] {nemo} gld
[15:08] {Alexs} how much is gasoline in BC?
01[15:09] {&Threei}  1.35 a litre
[15:10] {nemo} 5.20 a gallon
[15:11] {nemo} of course, that's canadian currency
[15:11] {nemo} what
[15:11] {nemo} what exchange rate?
01[15:11] {&Threei}  96 cents fort USD at the moment
[15:12] {nemo} so yeah, about 5.20 because 4 litres is slightly more than a gallon I believe
01[15:12] {&Threei}  yup, a gallon is 3.8 litres
[15:13] {nemo} BA forming a pennant
[15:15] {Alexs} a couple new coups in Egypt we will have same price
01[15:16] {&Threei}  no need for such drastic measures. All you need is a few more idiots
01[15:16] {&Threei}  the kind that says:
01[15:16] {&Threei}  this is too low price, we need it higher to encougare green energy and discourage use of cars
01[15:16] {&Threei}  and point to Europe which has much higher price and survives it
01[15:17] {&Threei}  never mind very different city structure in Europe that lends itself to carless life much easier
01[15:17] {&Threei}  and general lunacy of most things Europe
01[15:18] {&Threei}  Our idiots think along the lines "if Europe does it, it's great"
[15:21] {+cc_9} ok folks
[15:21] {+cc_9} ya'll have a great weekend
[15:21] {+cc_9} see you all Monday! :)
01[15:22] {&Threei}  take care #9
[15:26] {Alexs} what are BB parameters for 5min chart Vad?
01[15:26] {&Threei}  never tested them for 5 min
01[15:26] {&Threei}  (US) Fed's Bullard: Bond yield spike could have been attributed to increasing optimism on the US economy; market could be too optimistic about the outlook- Notes that some elements that created economic lag have been removed
[15:29] {Alexs} you never use 5min?
[15:29] {nemo} what bullshit
01[15:29] {&Threei}  I might take a look sometimes at 5, 15, 60
[15:29] {nemo} Bullardshit
01[15:29] {&Threei}  but it's just a cursory look
01[15:30] {&Threei}  not digging deep into details os TA
01[15:31] {&Threei}  you ARE bored, nemo...
01[15:42] {&Threei}  OK guys... let's call it a day
01[15:42] {&Threei}  good one, although the week as a whole is negative
