Sept 25 2013

Beautiful day with profitable trades throughout the day, nicely reaching their juicy targets while stops were well controlled with no harm to the bottom line at all. GDX, GLD, CAT, JPM, this, that... all the usual suspects, with room members catching some of news-related moves like WMT, SSO, SWFT. Do also read a discussion of treading education for newer traders at the last hour while we babysat last trades.

01[11:42] {&Threei}  what time isn't
[11:42] {fish_49} good point Vad
01[11:42] {&Threei}  - As Senator Cruz continues his quixotic "filibuster," the Senate is preparing to complete its version of the CR funding bill by Sunday, Sept 29th. The Senate version will fund the federal government through November 15th (versus the House bill's December 15th target) and obviously strips out Obamacare defunding.
[11:43] {fish_49} what a nut
01[11:43] {&Threei}  This morning Treasury Sec Lew said the extraordinary measures designed to keep government finances afloat would be exhausted by October 17th, and condemned plans to "prioritize" payments as just "default by another name." The House may see an initial vote to increase the debt ceiling as soon as Friday.
[11:44] {Will49} This Cruz is an idiot
[11:44] {Will49} Sad to say he was born in Alberta
[11:44] {cipher} no he's not

[14:02] {nemo} te morituri salutamos
[14:02] {dino} gj cipher, glad to help
[14:02] {dino} htwr smackdown
[14:04] {+cc_9} This is why I scale in long on SPY drops, no matter what the news is
[14:04] {+cc_9} 9 times out of 10, we bounce just as hard
[14:08] {cipher} SHOO s.49
[14:10] {+cc_9} GMCR free fall mode
[14:13] {+cc_9} SPY another drop = another scalp
[14:13] {+cc_9} JPM volume spike
[14:14] {+cc_9} JP Morgan $JPM national settlement may reach USD 11bln
[14:16] {nemo} price action getting a tad erratic
[14:16] {nemo} Les must be mind melding with the market
[14:17] {cipher} shoo stopped .39 +.10
[14:17] {+cc_9} 14:13 cc_9 SPY another drop = another scalp
[14:17] {+cc_9} ;)
[14:19] {fish_49} I'm not sure which way to swim
[14:21] {+cc_9} i would like to see SPY tank again if possible.
[14:21] {+cc_9} before we slowly creep back to yesterday's closing PPS and get bored.
[14:23] {nemo} spy getting hung up under vwap, mmmhhh
[14:25] {nemo} we've got EOQ markups coming
[14:25] {+cc_9} market trying to rip
[14:25] {+cc_9} JPM bouncing on that great news
[14:25] {+cc_9} all that brouhaha about WMT and its back to its pps before the "news" came out.
[14:26] {+cc_9} in other words : news don't matter, buy the effing dip
[14:29] {nemo} kinda' leaning towards spy drop, it's having trouble getting back above vwap
[14:29] {nemo} IWM too
[14:30] {nemo} gdx short vad?
01[14:30] {&Threei}  not sure
01[14:30] {&Threei}  26 break long is just as valid
[14:33] {dino} rrms drop
[14:33] {RonS} odfl pressure
[14:35] {RonS} rkt 44 day low
[14:35] {+cc_9} i put a chart together that shows all entry/exits for SSO today : http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/5267/zy9i.jpg
[14:36] {dino} damn, missed rrms
[14:36] {nemo} going gray, huh CC?
[14:36] {+cc_9} I had to change background color so the arrows are visible, even with that, i had to circle them...
[14:38] {nemo} P and FB should be good for shorting next week
[14:39] {+cc_9} AAPL saw some profit taking right out the gate
01[14:42] {&Threei}  pains me to say but
01[14:43] {&Threei}  nemo was right about GDX
01[14:43] {&Threei}  really painful
[14:45] {+cc_9} JPM new session highs
01[14:55] {&Threei} Short Setup: GLD  .90 break
[14:57] {+cc_9} JPM : http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9571/u42k.jpg
[15:03] {jdetente} Alright fellas. Great day again(thanks Vad). Going to take off early. See you all tomorrow.
[15:03] {Will49} peace jd
01[15:03] {&Threei}  take care jd
01[15:03] {&Threei}  nice to keep those babies lean, eh?
[15:05] {+cc_9} why is this analyst on bloomberg saying there is a 40% change of a gov shutdown
[15:05] {+cc_9} why do they still act like we are children...
[15:05] {nemo} PT Barnum
[15:06] {+cc_9} we are all well aware and up to speed on their scams...they will raise the debt as always and nothing will change
01[15:07] {&Threei}  they lure you into complacency, cc_9... and just when you get used to nothing changing, change comes
[15:07] {nemo} When I try to get out....they pull me back in...
01[15:07] {&Threei}  right
[15:09] {nemo} We had to watch Coppola's daughter in that movie because Winona Ryder wigged out
01[15:14] {&Threei} Short Setup: GLD  .95 break
01[15:14] {&Threei}  If holds  .05
01[15:17] {&Threei}  drew, here?
[15:18] {drewj} yup
[15:18] {drewj} what's up
01[15:18] {&Threei}  just wanted to ask how you are doing
[15:18] {dino} how you doing w/trades drew? you're quiet
[15:19] {drewj} still trying to come to terms with all of this
01[15:19] {&Threei}  no troubles following trade calls?
[15:19] {dino} keep at it, it will click
[15:20] {drewj} i mess up more than i would like
01[15:20] {&Threei}  something isn't clear?
[15:20] {drewj} i am learning each day...
01[15:20] {&Threei}  should be pretty straightforward...
01[15:20] {&Threei}  enter, partial, trail, exit
[15:20] {drewj} that emotional discipline is lacking.
01[15:22] {&Threei}  don't focus on your inner world... focus on action
01[15:22] {&Threei}  trigger is here, take the trade
01[15:22] {&Threei}  stop or target is here, take it
01[15:22] {&Threei}  move on to the next
01[15:22] {&Threei}  don't think
01[15:22] {&Threei}  don't guess
01[15:22] {&Threei}  let them system work
[15:23] {Chaeron} cold, reflex - no emotion. {sorry, new here but like the help if I can}
[15:23] {drewj} go for it...
[15:23] {Chaeron} that's all I got :)
[15:23] {drewj} :)
[15:23] {drewj} short but sweet
[15:24] {nemo} yeah, in the mode of "what's old is new again."
[15:24] {drewj} right
[15:24] {dino} if its emotions, its what you believe that isn't true drew
[15:24] {drewj} you are right dino
[15:25] {drewj} i guess i am fighting myself...after years in another profession
[15:26] {drewj} i'm used to making a lot of my own decisions
[15:26] {Will49} drew..took me months to "tame the tiger" and keep my emotions under control
[15:26] {Chaeron} most large houses that have floor traders will not allow people looking to be traders to have a master's degree... and some prefer not college grad... they don't want them "thinking"
[15:26] {dino} we've all been there. you must become a machine. react, don't think
[15:26] {Will49} becoming a machine is a big challenge for some of us
01[15:27] {&Threei} Short Setup: JCP  .10 break
[15:27] {drewj} that feels like such a leap of faith guys
[15:27] {Chaeron} maybe "analyzing"  better word,.... don't analyze at all.
01[15:27] {&Threei}  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXa9tXcMhXQ
[15:27] {Chaeron} lol
[15:28] {drewj} which one are you vad?
[15:28] {Chaeron} drew... let go... trust the force... you're here... trust Threei... (Yoda?)
[15:28] {RonS} no jcp shares here...
01[15:28] {&Threei}  I am overseeing them
[15:28] {drewj} oh no...
[15:28] {drewj} Chaeron i already like you:)
[15:28] {drewj} my wife will love that one.
[15:28] {nemo} lucky him
[15:29] {Chaeron} thanks drew... but be warned.. I am not "Sharon" or female for that matter...
[15:29] {nemo} algo's looking for order flow
[15:29] {Chaeron} nemo... lol
[15:29] {nemo} Yeah, I make a Sith lord look like Santa Clause
[15:30] {dino} size down drew, when set-up is there hit it. stay smaller shares until you get it. perhaps bigger trade size is messing you up. find your edge and comfort zone.
01[15:30] {&Threei}  so, doln't call him Shirley
[15:30] {drewj} i'm really having a hard time with that one dino
[15:30] {nemo} are u jesting?
[15:30] {dino} i'll crack you up, only 1 trade for me today was bigger than 400 shares, and i've hit my target
[15:30] {drewj} i can't get comfortable with share sizes
[15:31] {dino} back in ten minutes
[15:31] {+cc_9} Ron, who's your broker ?
[15:32] {+cc_9} got shares available here
[15:32] {nemo} E. F. Hutton
[15:32] {Chaeron} lol
[15:32] {fish_49} that's old Nemo
[15:32] {nemo} yeah, I used it yesterday
[15:35] {Alexs} stop .18 JCP?
01[15:35] {&Threei}  yup
01[15:35] {&Threei}  GLD 1:1
01[15:36] {&Threei}  seriously drew... devote a few days to just following the calls and SOP instructions, with no thinking whatsoever
01[15:36] {&Threei}  it doesn't mean you will trade like that all the time
01[15:36] {&Threei}  but it'll help take edge off
01[15:37] {&Threei}  and make transition easier
01[15:37] {&Threei}  trading in some ways is unlike any other profession
01[15:37] {&Threei}  we are too conditioned to think through each separate case
01[15:37] {&Threei}  and take it as reflection of our intelligence
[15:38] {drewj} i know.  you are right
01[15:38] {&Threei}  In trading, intelligence is being used and applied at the pre-trading stage, during system design
01[15:38] {&Threei}  and during actual execution is't pure discipline
01[15:38] {&Threei}  it's
[15:38] {drewj} i can't understand that but i believe you
01[15:38] {&Threei}  why can't?
01[15:39] {&Threei}  it's not a completely foreign concept
01[15:39] {&Threei}  soldiers execute general's orders
01[15:39] {&Threei}  they don't design operation
[15:39] {drewj} how can i recognize situations and act without intelligence?
01[15:39] {&Threei}  you are at early stage
01[15:40] {&Threei}  you are using someone else's ability to recognize them
[15:40] {drewj} fair enough
01[15:40] {&Threei}  when you learn crawling you startt walking
01[15:40] {&Threei}  but soldier who nevber learned to execute has no chance to become an officer
[15:40] {dino} gcap hl s .97
01[15:40] {&Threei}  and start designing operations
[15:41] {Chaeron} and more than likely died in action
01[15:41] {&Threei}  leap of faith you say? but trades work in front of your very eyes, day by day
01[15:41] {&Threei}  not that big of a leap, is it
[15:41] {drewj} that's the part where i am fighting myself
01[15:42] {&Threei}  what is it you are fighting, put it in words
[15:42] {drewj} i seem to want to be disobediant:)
01[15:42] {&Threei}  ah
01[15:42] {&Threei}  well
01[15:42] {&Threei}  good luck qwith that :)
01[15:42] {&Threei}  one thing to keep in mind:
[15:42] {fish_49} Drew are you taking trades other than what Vad calls in the room?
01[15:42] {&Threei}  it's not personal, it's not about obeying me or someone else
01[15:42] {&Threei}  it's abpouit following the system
[15:43] {drewj} funny: i'm used to getting paid to be bossed around...now I'm paying to be bossed around!
01[15:43] {&Threei}  tried, tested, proven
01[15:43] {&Threei}  wrong
01[15:43] {&Threei}  you are paying to make money and learn to make money
[15:43] {drewj} ahhhhhhhh
01[15:44] {&Threei}  following all the calls, you would have been paid by the market itself for a month of your expense in a matter of a few days, even with small shares
01[15:44] {&Threei}  process all the calls of this weerk alone, just three days
01[15:44] {&Threei}  see what you'd have made by fiollowing them exactly
[15:45] {drewj} point taken
[15:45] {dino} discipline vtrumps conviction drew
01[15:45] {&Threei}  don't tell me it's less than $300 even with 200-300 shares
01[15:45] {&Threei}  JCP meh
[15:45] {drewj} gld 1:2 yet?
01[15:46] {&Threei}  2 cents more
01[15:48] {&Threei}  stop .91
01[15:48] {&Threei}  time becomes an issue
01[15:49] {&Threei}  weed out this angle of "boss, bossing around" drew... it's inapplicable here
01[15:50] {&Threei}  thwere is a system based on about a hundred years of observations at least,
01[15:50] {&Threei}  and on a human psychology observed and analyzed for many hundred of years
01[15:51] {&Threei}  It's honed tested here in the very room for 13 years
[15:51] {dino} gcap stopped .14-.17
[15:51] {fish_49} Damn Vad your older than I thought
01[15:51] {&Threei}  yeah
01[15:51] {&Threei}  I provide instructions according to system's signals
01[15:52] {&Threei}  I don't command you or order you around or boss you arounmore than, say, gravity does
01[15:52] {&Threei}  if you ignore gravity, physic laws will take care of teaching you a lesson
01[15:52] {&Threei}  same with market
[15:53] {fish_49} Don't Feel bad Drew  Vad used to boss me around  but  My wife yelled at him for trying to take her job
01[15:53] {&Threei}  follow the system as you would consider gravity before jumping from 100th floor
[15:53] {drewj} now i feel better:)
[15:53] {nemo} then she gave fish the strap-on
01[15:53] {&Threei}  lol fish
[15:53] {+cc_9} nice SPY finish
[15:53] {+cc_9} more juice for tomorrow
01[15:53] {&Threei}  5 min, GLD
01[15:53] {&Threei}  drrrrop
[15:53] {nemo} probably visit the 50 day tomorrow
[15:54] {drewj} how close do we get to the EOD with gld?
01[15:54] {&Threei}  2 min
01[15:54] {&Threei}  1:2 baby
01[15:54] {&Threei}  and still have 4 min to go
01[15:54] {&Threei}  see? gravity
[15:54] {drewj} good point
01[15:54] {&Threei}  you are not thinking how to fool it, right?
01[15:55] {&Threei}  same way don't think how to gert around laws of market movement
01[15:55] {&Threei}  just follow them
01[15:55] {&Threei}  you don't know them yet well enough though
[15:55] {drewj} i'm getting there:)
01[15:55] {&Threei}  and that's where I come in
[15:55] {drewj} that's for sure
01[15:55] {&Threei}  hope it helps making that leap :)
[15:56] {drewj} it's only an internal leap but it has seemed very far.
[15:56] {drewj} i do believe you though
01[15:56] {&Threei}  2 min GLD
[15:56] {drewj} out now?
[15:57] {drewj} neverming
[15:57] {drewj} nevermind
06[15:57] * &Threei is looking at GLD imitating great patience but drumming his fingers on the table
[15:57] {fish_49} I'm out in full
