[11:41] {RonS} miners putting on an impressive reversal today
[11:41] {nemo} just about kissed the gap
[11:42] {nemo} I think Alex should be the first recipient of the Les Award
01[11:42] {&Threei}  why not Les?
01[11:42] {&Threei}  logic says, Les should be first recipient of Les Award
[11:42] {nemo} he's not here, and it's the most insulting thing I could think of to say to Alex on short notice
01[11:43] {&Threei}  ummm
01[11:43] {&Threei}  OK, 2 comments
01[11:43] {&Threei}  1. he will be here soon enough
[11:43] {nemo} my logic and economy are impeccable
[11:43] {Alexs} ty nemo
01[11:43] {&Threei}  and 2. you really need to work on those short notice insults
[11:43] {nemo} Without Les here, I don't get nearly enough practice.
01[11:43] {&Threei}  I mean this is really meek
[11:44] {nemo} Ron doesn't say much
[11:44] {nemo} no Will
01[11:44] {&Threei}  do what all martial arts guys do, practice with mirror
[11:45] {nemo} not this one

[11:55] {RonS} NBG kind of ripping...any news 3i?

01[11:55] {&Threei}  National Bank of Greece SA Reports 1H profit €344M v €125Me- 1H loan loss provisions €853M v €1.2B y/y - 1H results improved thanks to improvement at Turkish subsidiary Finansbank, and lower loan loss provisions.

[11:57] {RonS} thanks
01[11:58] {&Threei}  lol
01[11:58] {&Threei}  line on the bottom on TV
01[11:58] {&Threei}  prime minister speaks, line says
01[11:58] {&Threei}  Harper Makes Crime Announcement
01[12:00] {&Threei}  alex... nemo knows a few russian words thanks to some folks in his surroundings... unfortunately, most of them sre swear words that he uses non-discriminately and non-sparingly
[12:01] {nemo} and rude drinking toasts
[12:08] {bbobr} rude toasts  ? like what ?
01[12:08] {&Threei}  you are waking up a monster, bbobr...

[12:21] {Alexs} no stop please I need my fair share
01[12:22] {&Threei}  because you deserve it
[12:22] {Alexs} exactly!
01[12:22] {&Threei}  :)
[12:23] {Alexs} and I was promised...
01[12:23] {&Threei}  by O
01[12:23] {&Threei}  that I will deliver
01[12:23] {&Threei}  kind of: Belarus and Argentina signed peace agreement between Ukraine and Mongolia
[12:24] {Alexs} lol
01[12:34] {&Threei}  dino... we are kings of abbreviation. We took 700-pages long Atlas Shrugged and successfuly shortened it for Alex in 5 lines.
01[12:34] {&Threei}  ultimate cliff notes
[12:37] {Alexs} yeah this book became a turning point in my perception of the world because of you guys
01[12:43] {&Threei}  you mean each and every of our 5 lines?? wow... we did good!
01[12:44] {&Threei}  now... who is john galt... {G}
[12:44] {nemo} what five lines?
01[12:44] {&Threei}  well, we relid whole content of the book in about that many, lol
01[12:45] {&Threei}  relied
[12:45] {dino} so alexs is on board w/atlas shrugged?
[12:46] {dino} the man who stopped the world
[12:52] {Alexs} looks like those freemarketeers don't want to give me my fair share in FCX
01[12:52] {&Threei}  lol
[12:53] {Alexs}  "even as corporate profits soar, even as the pay of a fortunate few explodes."
01[12:57] {&Threei}  I guess making correction for quiet time and taking profit in full at .72 - .73 was an option
01[12:57] {&Threei}  on the other hand... what's our hurry
01[12:57] {&Threei}  they often climb slowly during this time
01[13:24] {&Threei} Short Setup: GDX  .65 break
01[13:24] {&Threei}  If holds  .70
01[13:25] {&Threei}  nah
[13:26] {Alexs} and who is to blame?
01[13:26] {&Threei}  ummm
01[13:27] {&Threei}  guys, here is a suggestion for you to keep in mind
[13:27] {Alexs} the guy who's not delivered
01[13:28] {&Threei}  starting Sept, let's do a Q/A session each Wed around lunch time on best practices of trading software use,
01[13:28] {&Threei}  specific to cc9's offering
01[13:28] {&Threei}  and him being the one to answer.
01[13:29] {&Threei}  if you use their software, it's your opportunity to ask your questions and benefit from other's,
01[13:29] {&Threei}  if you don't it's your chance to find out more about it and contemplate possibler switch
01[13:29] {&Threei}  particularly, such missed entries as this morning's are less likely with fast direct access platform
01[13:30] {&Threei}  Sounds good?
01[13:30] {&Threei}  oh and GDX, you are a SoMG
01[13:30] {&Threei}  1:2...
01[13:31] {&Threei}  anyone's interested or am I wasting my breath?
[13:31] {Alexs} same money why not
[13:33] {bbobr} what software, missed something ?
01[13:34] {&Threei}  trading platform
01[13:35] {&Threei}  wickedly fast
[13:35] {+cc_9} DMA system
[13:35] {+cc_9} with co-location
[13:35] {+cc_9} direct market ECN routing
[13:36] {+cc_9} basically, instead of the usual MM retail brokers have, you direct flow through the ECN directly, so you pay less
[13:36] {bbobr} is there a website ?
[13:36] {+cc_9} You also pay per/share as opposed to per/trade in the case you were to scale in/out of trades instead of 1 hit
[13:36] {+cc_9} http://www.(gently edited out)
[13:36] {Alexs} actually a have the same thing
[13:37] {bbobr}  I have that on  IB
[13:38] {Alexs} what are the comissions?
[13:39] {+cc_9} They range, depends on volume/activity, generally .005/share
01[13:41] {&Threei}  you don't have the same executions on IB
[13:41] {+cc_9} if you need a demo to try the software, just email me support@(gently edited out)
[13:41] {nemo} nope, not even close
01[13:41] {&Threei}  and you have to have 25K
[13:42] {nemo} 9's system runs very lean on the computer also
[13:42] {+cc_9} its a light system
[13:43] {nemo} yeah, and considering the functionality of the charts, which are quite extensive, it's even more impressive
[13:43] {nemo} I wish it made better cappucino though
01[13:44] {&Threei}  cappucino?? don't tell me you drink that crap
[13:44] {bbobr} Will look into it, thanks
[13:45] {nemo} well, espresso
[13:48] {Alexs} what's wrong with execution on IB?
01[13:49] {&Threei}  try real broker, you'll see :)
[13:49] {nemo} doesn't compare Alex
[13:49] {Alexs} i'm using lightspeed
[13:49] {Alexs} works very good
[13:49] {nemo} Lightspeed good functionality but their execution is not great
[13:50] {nemo} it's a heavy system with latency problems
[13:51] {+cc_9} LSP is good, but they are retail
[13:51] {bbobr} Can you trade right on the chart on that platform ?
[13:51] {Alexs} if I see a price on level II i get it never had a problem
01[13:51] {&Threei}  why do you think you didn't get this morning's opening call?
[13:52] {nemo} alex, if you have market order you'll always get it
[13:52] {nemo} but that can be dangerous
[13:52] {Alexs} just didn't want it with 2 cents, call was late
01[13:52] {&Threei}  no
01[13:53] {&Threei}  price was there
01[13:53] {&Threei}  briefly but was
01[13:53] {&Threei}  you couldn't catch it in time because of latency
[13:53] {Alexs} never use market order
[13:53] {Alexs} to eneter a trade
01[13:53] {&Threei}  with DMA the chance to get it was much higher
[14:00] {Alexs} as I know lightspeed is a DMA
01[14:01] {&Threei}  alex... just try it
01[14:01] {&Threei}  many went this road, and the difference is not something they imagined
[14:01] {nemo} Alex I've used Lightspeed, DAS, Laser, Takion...Lightspeed is not as good from an execution standpoint.  It's that simple
[14:01] {Alexs} can I try it with no money?
01[14:02] {&Threei}  demo, yes
[14:02] {nemo} you can get a demo I believe but the fills won't be real
[14:02] {Alexs} that's what I mean
[14:03] {Alexs} demo works well all the time
01[14:03] {&Threei}  OK
01[14:03] {&Threei}  don't :)
[14:03] {nemo} yeah, fine...don't believe us, fuck it.
01[14:03] {&Threei}  this is a suggestion, not a matter of arguing
[14:03] {Alexs} how much deposit to try
[14:06] {+cc_9} Min account start is $2,500
[14:06] {+cc_9} You get about $50k to daytrade with
[14:06] {+cc_9} But if you want to be super duper cheap and just to "test", I can allow for $1k for a test account you can either keep after that or close.
[14:07] {Alexs} sounds nice :)
01[14:07] {&Threei}  LOL, you can open whole account with your August winnings
01[14:08] {&Threei}  and 1:20 margin? can you get this with your IB?
[14:10] {bbobr} no
[14:10] {Alexs} lets make little bit more today so I can try it with todays winnings
01[14:11] {&Threei}  man... those progressives... never enough {GGG}
[14:11] {Alexs} lol
[14:17] {nemo} ok everything doing the vwap shuffle right now
01[14:24] {&Threei} Long Setup:  CAT  .70 break
01[14:24] {&Threei}  If holds  .60
[14:24] {Alexs} hl?
01[14:25] {&Threei}  looks slow eniugh for 2/3
01[14:25] {&Threei}  or 3/4
[14:25] {Alexs} thanks
[14:31] {dino} cc9, you can daytrade on your platform with as little as $2k? what platform is it?
[14:32] {nemo} DAS trader
[14:32] {+cc_9} Yes can
[14:32] {+cc_9} Let me get you link
[14:33] {+cc_9} http://www.(gently edited out)
[14:33] {+cc_9} Some screen shots you can view
[14:33] {fish_49} cat still a trade?
01[14:33] {&Threei}  if course
[14:33] {nemo} Yeah, but it's very flexible as far as layouts and charts
01[14:33] {&Threei}  of
[14:33] {fish_49} was away then reading
01[14:34] {&Threei}  slowly clawing its way through to 1:1
[14:34] {fish_49} oh already triggered
01[14:34] {&Threei}  yes
01[14:34] {&Threei}  havn't hit 1:1 yet so if pulls back, get it
01[14:34] {&Threei}  ok... 1:1
01[14:34] {&Threei}  that's it alex, no excuses
06[14:34] * &Threei slaps Alexs around a bit with a large roll of cash
[14:34] {fish_49} what platform were we talking about 1:20 leverage
[14:35] {Alexs} love it
[14:35] {Alexs} that's what O promised
01[14:35] {&Threei}  one offered by cc9, fish...
[14:35] {fish_49} ahhh the replacement to laser?
01[14:36] {&Threei}  yes, or I would say, it's successor
01[14:36] {&Threei}  its
[14:36] {fish_49} cc u still there?
[14:37] {nemo} electronically speaking
[14:37] {fish_49} since it's offshore do they report earning to IRS?
[14:37] {fish_49} lol
[14:38] {+cc_9} I am here.
[14:38] {+cc_9} Who is "they" ?
[14:38] {+cc_9} Traders or firm ?
[14:38] {fish_49} firm
[14:38] {+cc_9} Firm is offshore, does not need to report anything
01[14:41] {&Threei}  (SY) US State department: Political solution is the only option in Syria; military options being discussed are limited and not aimed at regime change- Does not see this as being similar to Iraq
[14:42] {nemo} just keep a jar of KY jelly on your desk and work on your lower back flexibility
[14:44] {dino} confused, if offshore, does firm issue k9's or do you get 1099's?
[14:44] {+cc_9} We don't issue anything.
[14:44] {+cc_9} At the end of fiscal year, traders export their reports
