Dec 31 2013

Last Catch of the Day of 2013. Juicy one, too.


Very nice end to the year, with surprisingly strong trading results despite extremely low volume - about 40% lower than 3-month average. Just one stop, the rest were wins of various sizes, including nice fat long of TWTR.

Happy New Year, see you on Thursday!

Session Time: Tue Dec 31 00:00:00 2013

[10:42] {nemo} Tarantino's approach to the movie was interesting.  It was satire, I was laughing my ass off through about half of it
[10:42] {+cc_9} 2015 in America : white people must apologize for everything. Men must bow to feminists and LGBT and apologize for being male

[11:01] {nemo} that's a tad nippy
[11:01] {dino} emes sm s .63 gappy/thin
[11:02] {thomcbell} is today an early close?
01[11:02] {@Threei}  no
[11:03] {thomcbell} tu
[11:03] {RonS} trla into a gap
[11:04] {RonS} really it's a volumje pocket to $42
[11:05] {+cc_9} UNXL, god damn it...
[11:06] {thomcbell} fb 54.55 break if holding 0.45 vad?
[11:07] {dino} thinking the same cc9
01[11:07] {@Threei}  nice looking setup
01[11:12] {@Threei}  1:1
01[11:12] {@Threei}  good find tbell
01[11:13] {@Threei}  100% day so far... who would have thought
[11:13] {thomcbell} tu
[11:15] {thomcbell} i didnt get any - did a 54.55 trigger with 0.56 top
[11:16] {thomcbell} this could be a nice run up thru day high
01[11:16] {@Threei}  are you using a hover trick?
[11:16] {thomcbell} what is that vad?
01[11:16] {@Threei}  hold on, I'll see if I can find log where I taight Will how to do it
[11:17] {nemo} the buy or sell button does not fire until you release the mouse button after pressing it down
01[11:17] {@Threei}  here it is
[11:17] {nemo} Therefore, you press it down and hold it until the trade triggers
01[11:18] {@Threei}  01[11:03] {&Threei} you want to buy break of .10,
01[11:18] {@Threei}  01[11:03] {&Threei} you put it limit at , say, .12,
01[11:18] {@Threei}  01[11:03] {&Threei} hover your cursor over Buy button,
[11:18] {nemo} If it doesn't trigger, you slide the mouse cursor off the buy or sell button before you release the mouse button
01[11:18] {@Threei}  01[11:04] {&Threei} as stock approaches triger, you depress the mouse button but do not release it until .10 is crossed.
01[11:18] {@Threei}  01[11:04] {&Threei} If trigger is there, you just release a button - faster than full click,
01[11:18] {@Threei}  01[11:04] {&Threei} Now,
01[11:19] {@Threei}  01[11:04] {&Threei} if a stock retreats from .10
01[11:19] {@Threei}  01[11:05] {&Threei} you move your cursor away from Buy and then release it
01[11:19] {@Threei}  01[11:05] {&Threei} somewhat dangerous trick as you may release it accidentally before moving away from hover position
01[11:19] {@Threei}  01[11:06] {&Threei} but with little practice and paying attention, it becomes pretty much automatic
01[11:19] {@Threei}  end
[11:20] {RonS} and if that doesn't work rub your belly while patting your head three times while boiling an eye of newt...
[11:21] {nemo} Ron, go play with your wife
01[11:21] {@Threei}  but Ron... you need to do it all on the intersection where you buried bat's bones in full moon night
[11:21] {RonS} oh ya, forgot...
[11:22] {pragmatic} I'd recommend pracicing it in the paper mode though. Certain applications may handle mouse clicks differently. I've seen some handling just 'click down' event, without even been a full click
[11:22] {nemo} do it with 100 shares
01[11:22] {@Threei}  this is tested and proven
06[11:22] * pragmatic cool
[11:22] {dino} out kmx .08, +.23
[11:24] {thomcbell} tu Vad et al
01[11:24] {@Threei}  you guys... why, why had you had to invent this weird language:

[12:10] {+cc_9} the statement "we care deeply about our custmers' privacy and security" is laughable
[12:10] {nemo} yes
[12:10] {nemo} ahhh
[12:10] {+cc_9} do you need me to draw it ?
[12:11] {nemo} no, but it wasn't immediately apparent, because of the disjointedness of viewing this window, clicking on the gif, viewing it in another window, with the additional burden of maintaining an understanding of your convoluted sense of humor
01[12:11] {@Threei}  double facepalm: http://goo.gl/BJ7Ymg
[12:12] {nemo} Do you have any plans on reproducing CC?

[12:15] {nemo} DiBlasio?
01[12:15] {@Threei}  what's the frikin rationale behind that?
[12:15] {dino} nanny-state ny. shame, it was a cool state for while
01[12:16] {@Threei}  ok, sugary drinks, fast food... at least I can see the idea
01[12:16] {@Threei}  but e-cigarettes?

01[12:26] {@Threei}  took me a good while to get it
[12:28] {nemo} yeah, I haven't figured it out
01[12:28] {@Threei}  whole start trek mythology thing,
01[12:29] {@Threei}  per fan observations, red shirts were a surefire sign of a characters being destined for a cull
[12:29] {nemo} well, they were the security officers
01[12:29] {@Threei}  probably started as accident, but when fans started buzzing about it, writers went along
[12:30] {dino} qdel hod
[12:30] {RonS} lol...buzzing...during the '60's
01[12:31] {@Threei}  it's not like people didn't communicate before internet {G}
[12:31] {nemo} well, you'd have to go to conventions or get the trekkie magazines I guess
[12:33] {+cc_9} Lets call it now
[12:33] {+cc_9} EOD crash profit taking
[12:33] {+cc_9} or EOD upward bid paint
01[12:33] {@Threei}  my vote is bid
[12:33] {dino} crash
01[12:33] {@Threei}  up up and away
[12:33] {nemo} coin flip, or do you have reason
[12:34] {dino} of course where i stand is a function of where i sit
[12:34] {nemo} Doug Kass had an interesting tweet a coupla minutes ago:  With bonds down big in Dec and year and stocks up big - interesting to see if there is  allocation trade at end of day of stocks into bonds
[12:34] {RonS} pffft
[12:34] {nemo} although, you have Thursday and Friday to do that
01[12:35] {@Threei}  sorry... not to rain on any idols but sopunds like total fluff to me
[12:35] {dino} doesn't interest me
[12:35] {nemo} just an opinion and they're like, you know
01[12:35] {@Threei}  it's not even opinion
[12:35] {nemo} or, in the spirit of the day their like
01[12:35] {@Threei}  "interesting to see"?
[12:35] {nemo} there like
01[12:36] {@Threei}  I need to try that:
[12:36] {dino} my q? what does it matter to daytraders?
[12:36] {nemo} I guess it positions onesel for plausible deniability
01[12:36] {@Threei}  "Onteresting to see if there is a long setip in ABCD on 20 break"
[12:36] {dino} thinking doug is talking his book
01[12:36] {@Threei}  if it works, I say "Victory is mine"
01[12:37] {@Threei}  if doesn't, I say "I never called it long, I was just interested to see"
[12:37] {dino} opinions are like assholes, everybody has one
01[12:37] {@Threei}  "Expression of interest"
[12:37] {nemo} [12:36] {nemo} just an opinion and they're like, you know
[12:38] {dino} ahh
[12:38] {nemo} dino, finished by "and they all stink"
01[12:39] {@Threei}  as far as trading concerned, I don't give a flying sneeze about what one's opinion is. What I care about is how one handles the situation when his opinion is wrong
[12:39] {nemo} a flying sneeze?  mmmmhh...never heard that one before
01[12:39] {@Threei}  be mistaken all you want, I will still consider you a good trader if you take your stop and move on
[12:40] {+cc_9} NQ catching bids
01[12:40] {@Threei}  get stubborn and insist that you are right till bitter end... well
[12:40] {+cc_9} SPY helluva headfake
01[12:41] {@Threei}  even if you think gold is protection against zombie apocalypse... do not hold it from 1950 down to 1200
[12:41] {+cc_9} like when i get in a stock, it crashes and i pound the table buying 10x more
[12:42] {+cc_9} SPY fast drop now
[12:42] {+cc_9} surprisingly, AAPL not tanking
01[12:42] {@Threei} Long Setup:  GLD  .50 break
01[12:42] {@Threei}  crap, late
01[12:42] {@Threei}  in on pullback
01[12:42] {@Threei}  If holds  .40
01[12:45] {@Threei}  nah
01[12:45] {@Threei}  first stop today
[12:45] {nemo} spy coming into price support and vwap
[12:48] {nemo} spy iwm finnies and gld at vwap
01[12:48] {@Threei}  The price of gold has fallen 28% this year. That means it had its worst year in OVER 30 years
[12:49] {nemo} yeah 2nd worst performing asset, I think silver was a bit worse
01[12:49] {@Threei}  and corn
[12:49] {nemo} ahhh, yeah that was another one
[12:52] {dino} omed spike
[12:53] {+cc_9} wonder what AAPl wants to do here, sitting flat
[12:53] {+cc_9} as SPY bounces a bit
[12:56] {+cc_9} AAPL catching some bids
[12:57] {+cc_9} SPY money flow in 2013 : $170B
[12:57] {+cc_9} GLD lost $25 in outflows
01[12:59] {@Threei}  25?
01[13:00] {@Threei}  B?
[13:00] {nemo} Schumi has improved a bit
01[13:04] {@Threei}  so, I am still lost... what's bloomberg's beef with e-cigarettes?
[13:04] {nemo} nicotine
01[13:04] {@Threei}  he didn't ban actual ones, did he?
01[13:05] {@Threei}  and they are way more harmful
[13:05] {thomcbell} right
[13:05] {nemo} well, you can't really smoke cigarettes anywhere in the city anymore
01[13:05] {@Threei}  e-version eliminates ,ajority of harmful substances
[13:05] {thomcbell} true -
[13:05] {nemo} so, he's basically applying the same conditions
01[13:05] {@Threei}  and as a replacement helps diminish the harm greatly
[13:05] {nemo} yeah, it's basically nicotine delivery system
[13:06] {RonS} just payoff for his mob supporters...now they can smuggle them...
01[13:06] {@Threei}  so he leaves actual cigarettes untouched but bans less harmful version?
[13:06] {thomcbell} it is a good way to wean off
01[13:06] {@Threei}  it is, that's how I quit smoking
[13:06] {nemo} no, they are basically banned too, you can't smoke them indoors anywhere except in your home
[13:06] {+cc_9} Its because the state of NY runs on "feels"
[13:06] {+cc_9} its bc e-cigs "LOOK" real
[13:06] {+cc_9} that is why they were banned
[13:06] {+cc_9} this is not a joke, its the actual reason.
01[13:06] {@Threei}  imbeciles...
01[13:07] {@Threei}  seriously cc9?
01[13:07] {@Threei}  they cite that?
01[13:07] {@Threei}  I take "imbeciles" back... it's insulting to imbeciles
[13:07] {+cc_9} yes, i am serious
[13:08] {+cc_9} Council President Christine Quinn said banning e-cigarettes would make it easier to enforce the city's ban on real smoking. Because they're designed to look like real cigarettes, it can be tough for law enforcement officers, business owners and club bouncers to tell who's really smoking and who's only "vaping."
[13:09] {dino} hclp spike
01[13:09] {@Threei}  sigh
01[13:10] {@Threei}  after about 30 years of smoking I quit in a matter of 3 months, with no cravings, nice and easy
01[13:10] {@Threei}  thanks to e-cigarette
[13:12] {+cc_9} http://www.meh.ro/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/meh.ro11218.jpg
[13:13] {nemo} that's such a joke, there is barely any smell from them
[13:13] {+cc_9} VXX through the roof
01[13:13] {@Threei}  as far as I and people around me could tell, there was none
[13:14] {nemo} yeah, I remember when you had them in the Bahamas, that was the first I had seen of them
[13:14] {nemo} couldn't smell anything
01[13:14] {@Threei}  yup, I just started with it back then, had it for a bout a week
01[13:15] {@Threei}  haven't had real one since second day after getting it,
01[13:15] {@Threei}  3 months later I didn't need even that
01[13:15] {@Threei}  happened by itself
[13:15] {nemo} yeah, then it was just getting used to feeling healthier
01[13:17] {@Threei}  so... with that experience, mirrored by a few people I recommended it to, I can't think of people banning it anything but "frikin idiots"
[13:17] {+cc_9} VXX is telling a little story here
[13:17] {nemo} insurance into the close or an adumbrade
[13:18] {nemo} adumbrate
[13:20] {+cc_9} IWM trying to catch some bids, SPY not yet
[13:21] {+cc_9} P crashing hard
01[13:25] {@Threei}  TWTR drags them down I guess
