Jan 08 2014

Another very strong day generously sprinkled with 1:3ers, 1:2ers and very few small stops. FB is a great performer, as well as GLD and other usual suspects. Midday gave us a boredom pause as market was waiting for the Fed minutes release, then action resumed and brought more profits.

[10:21] {thomcbell}     Micron Large DRAM Customer Is Likely Apple: Piper Jaffray  10:14
[10:21] {thomcbell}        Micron referring in conf. call to a large customer signing a l-t DRAM supply contract with a $250m pre-payment likely refers to a deal with Apple, Piper Jaffray analyst Jagadish Iyer (overweight) says.
[10:21] {thomcbell}     • Agreement is “testament to tight supply” in DRAM market, Piper says; sees robust DRAM pricing continuing as MU has no plans for DRAM capacity additions
[10:21] {thomcbell}     • Says FY1Q results were “solid” and expects MU gross margins to rise 450bps through remainder of FY14
[10:21] {thomcbell}     • Wedbush analyst Betsy Van Hees (outperform) says MU commentary was upbeat on n-t outlook, indicating DRAM supply is likely to be tight, NAND supply/demand balanced in

[11:56] {+cc_9} and back to session lows
[11:56] {nemo} yeah
[11:56] {+cc_9} that fake bounce in the 40s was to dump on
[11:56] {nemo} everything thinning though look offers at .30
[11:58] {+cc_9} nope, they are lining up the sells at 27
[11:58] {+cc_9} while yanking the bids
[11:58] {+cc_9} 1 guy sitting at .25 = it goes below if LOd tests with no bid to support it
[11:59] {nemo} can't remember the last time I saw share transactions like that this regularly
[11:59] {+cc_9} this is what leads me to believe those prints actually have a meaning, i swear im not tinfoiling...
[12:00] {+cc_9} when i see odd lots, usually they are broken up from another order block
[12:00] {+cc_9} so if you see 30 print
[12:00] {+cc_9} then u will see a 70 to match it for round 100
[12:00] {+cc_9} but 1 1 4 1 7
[12:00] {+cc_9} that shit dont make any sense
[12:00] {nemo} you're not...buddy of mine used to tell me how desks would signal each other using share size on sequential transaction
[12:00] {+cc_9} that's correct
[12:01] {Les} GT testing yesterdays high and failure to break out
[12:02] {RonS} vjet rocketing
[12:02] {+cc_9} if TXTR does not bounce to the .40s/.50s here, its about to totally crash under 27
[12:03] {nemo} were you in advertising Ron?
[12:03] {Les} thinking English teacher
[12:03] {RonS} Playgirl centerfold only...
[12:03] {nemo} braille version
[12:03] {RonS} lol
[12:04] {Les} lol
[12:04] {Les} where does he come up with those rejoinders..
[12:04] {+cc_9} nemo, here is where you watch TXTR L2 and T&S again
[12:04] {+cc_9} see if the sellers show up on this offer push
[12:04] {+cc_9} you see him at 27.40 on EDGX ?
[12:05] {nemo} just dropped
[12:05] {nemo} unless hidden orders
[12:05] {nemo} back
[12:05] {+cc_9} not he is still there
[12:05] {+cc_9} 11
[12:05] {nemo} yeah, he dropped for a second
[12:05] {+cc_9} you see how the bid side for 27.40 does not match
[12:05] {+cc_9} with only 1 guy at 33
[12:05] {nemo} yes
[12:06] {+cc_9} fishiest L2/T&S in a while...
[12:06] {+cc_9} lets see what he does at 27.40
[12:06] {nemo} vjet apogee
[12:08] {RonS} too esoteric...
[12:08] {nemo} true
[12:08] {RonS} headline writer = 5th grade level...
[12:08] {nemo} of course, I write in philosophy so my vocabulary tends that way
[12:09] {nemo} Qcor looks weak, but did it make it on the uptick rule?
[12:10] {Les} apogwhat?
[12:10] {nemo} fishy orders again txtr
[12:10] {+cc_9} nemo, look now
[12:10] {+cc_9} order for 2
[12:10] {+cc_9} went through
[12:11] {+cc_9} and bid dropped
[12:11] {nemo} and 5 below that
[12:11] {+cc_9} yes
[12:11] {Les} so can't buy 5 shares?
[12:11] {nemo} wtf
[12:11] {+cc_9} that basically means there is a lot of orders that need to get sold
[12:11] {+cc_9} but there is not enough offers to sustain
[12:11] {+cc_9} if you see on the chart today
[12:12] {+cc_9} each time it tried to bounce, the sellers stepped in full force
[12:12] {Les} so they're taking anything they can find u mean?
[12:12] {+cc_9} not allowing it to even get a tiny bounce = they want out ASAP
[12:12] {+cc_9} Les yes
[12:12] {+cc_9} any $0.10 or $0.20 move up on the offer gets sold on
[12:12] {+cc_9} u can tell because soon as offers come in, the spread tightens, then small bounce and bid goes down big
[12:12] {+cc_9} right now .28/.29
[12:12] {nemo} and spread spreads
[12:12] {+cc_9} if offers get taken and new sellers show up, they will drop the bid lower
[12:13] {+cc_9} correct nemo
[12:13] {+cc_9} let me try something
[12:13] {+cc_9} watch the T&S
[12:13] {Les} Nemo what do you think GT .50 recross short?
[12:13] {Les} holding .55
[12:13] {nemo} not this time of day
[12:13] {+cc_9} actually, lets see if gets .30s again, im gona try something to see if it works
[12:14] {+cc_9} look now 1x4, even if all taken @ offer
[12:14] {+cc_9} keep an eye on the T&S on TXTR
[12:14] {+cc_9} im gona seee if they take funny orders, or lump them up
[12:15] {nemo} Inet has supply at .29 here
[12:16] {nemo} oh yeah, they changed the rules a couple of weeks ago on combining orders
01[12:17] {&Threei}  in what way?
[12:17] {nemo} I forgot actually the specifics, but combining and executing odd share size orders was changed
[12:17] {ese} outta here cya tomorrow....good job today cc......your always on fire buddy
[12:17] {+cc_9} nemo, watch TXTR here again
[12:17] {nemo} yep
[12:17] {+cc_9} look @ the side of the seller at .30
[12:17] {+cc_9} large 4k on NASD/Q
[12:17] {+cc_9} take care ese!
[12:18] {+cc_9} and then look @ the bid against it
[12:18] {+cc_9} moved it from NASD to ARCA
[12:18] {nemo} yep
[12:18] {+cc_9} you see some prints below for 2 shares ?
[12:18] {+cc_9} a couple of them actually
[12:19] {nemo} yeah
[12:19] {nemo} this is not the stock to be playing with right now
[12:19] {nemo} somebody is gaming it
[12:19] {nemo} and they have friends
[12:19] {+cc_9} im telling you, after watching the action on the L2 yesterday very closely, i can tell you this one is being manipulated between a bunch of desks selling to each other to get out
[12:20] {+cc_9} i have no doubt the bid is gona crash under .20 any moment now
[12:20] {+cc_9} just not enough orders to sustain this price
[12:20] {nemo} and if they let it lose .20 it goes to 27, so they're trying to get out before that happens
01[12:20] {&Threei}  selling to each other to get out?
01[12:20] {&Threei}  how's that work?
[12:21] {+cc_9} some desks have much better liquidity than others
[12:21] {+cc_9} some can use their own routes
01[12:21] {&Threei}  yes but if one bought from another, it's long
[12:21] {nemo} 4 share transaction
01[12:21] {&Threei}  it has to sell to someone else than the other desk
[12:21] {nemo} one desk could buy and sell to it's own traders to maintain bid levels and try to get transactios inside the range that gradually reduce or increase their positions
01[12:22] {&Threei}  or you mean one uses another with higher liquidity as a conduit?
[12:22] {+cc_9} what nemo just said
[12:22] {nemo} bingo
[12:22] {nemo} FADF
[12:22] {+cc_9} 12:21 cc_9 i have no doubt the bid is gona crash under .20 any moment now
[12:22] {nemo} dark pool volume
[12:22] {+cc_9} told you
[12:22] {+cc_9} yup
[12:22] {nemo} Yeah, buddy of mine was talking about that technique yesterday
01[12:23] {&Threei}  that is poassible only if desk acts as principal
01[12:23] {&Threei}  not all of them are allowed to do that
01[12:24] {&Threei}  so if one that can function as agency only sells per agreement to the one that can be a principal, I can see this working
[12:24] {+cc_9} if loses 27, they are just gona go all out gangster and pile up on the sell side with no mercy
[12:24] {Les} define those terms Vad
[12:24] {Les} agency and principal
01[12:25] {&Threei}  agency provides you with link to the market place
01[12:25] {&Threei}  think direct access,
[12:25] {nemo} Vad, I think as long as there's short shares available and you have long inventory, and a way to signal between desks, you can do it
[12:25] {dino} i think they do whatever they want and deal w/it later
[12:25] {nemo} and this isn't huge volume
01[12:25] {&Threei}  and any broker that simply sends your order to the market.
[12:25] {+cc_9} the 27 bids were like 40
01[12:25] {&Threei}  Principal can fill your order from their own inventory
01[12:26] {&Threei}  which on surface seems beneficial
01[12:26] {&Threei}  but in reality works against you in the long run
[12:26] {Les} but if they're trying to dump on you...
[12:26] {Les} yeh
[12:26] {nemo} Yes, you game a range where you want to buy or sell, somebody can show up and screw up your game
01[12:26] {&Threei}  as your broker essdentially trades against you
[12:26] {nemo} but, that's part of the risk
[12:26] {Les} you are the mark, as in a game of poker
01[12:26] {&Threei}  yup
[12:27] {nemo} hehehehe , wonder if that bid is real at .00
[12:28] {Les} DJIA the weaker dog again
[12:29] {nemo} gnite Irene
[12:30] {Les} thank u for the lesson fellas
[12:30] {nemo} wow
[12:30] {nemo} bottom falling out
[12:31] {nemo} this important level
[12:31] {+cc_9} they are taking any bids they can
[12:31] {nemo} next is 24.50 level
[12:32] {Les} GT is working stop to .50
[12:33] {+cc_9} im gona buy TXTR here now
[12:34] {Les} lol f&%รง u GT
[12:35] {Les} cheeky prick
[12:35] {nemo} nah, hou had to leave your stop above the high, look at time of day, takes nothing to move it comparatively
[12:36] {nemo} Got a question:  How do you short a stock that has broken the highs on the daily recently?
[12:37] {Les} aggressive short DT and definitely keep it light
01[12:37] {&Threei}  answer: you don't
[12:37] {Les} oh frig off Vad
[12:38] {nemo} privyet
01[12:38] {&Threei}  you short a stock that forms short setup
[12:38] {nemo} yep
[12:38] {nemo} you shorted a new high
[12:38] {nemo} whoa
[12:38] {nemo}  no weakness
[12:38] {Les} yeh right who was talking easy money all gone for the morning
[12:38] {nemo} indexes flat,
[12:38] {nemo} and this was showing relative strength
[12:38] {nemo} and, though you were right in the very short term, it bounced right at support
[12:39] {Les} nice game turning .01 from 1:1 and that's it. stopped out above trigger. can'^t play it any tighter
[12:39] {nemo} oh jeez CC SFSG
01[12:41] {&Threei}  ok, i read it three times and still don't see the connection
01[12:41] {&Threei}  12:38] {Les} yeh right who was talking easy money all gone for the morning
01[12:41] {&Threei}  what does it have to do with shorting GT?
[12:42] {+cc_9} nemo, SFSG ?
[12:42] {nemo} So Far So Good
[12:42] {nemo} sorry
[12:42] {+cc_9} yes
[12:42] {+cc_9} not holding my breath, but i think big dumpers are out
[12:48] {nemo} btw...now a drop below .50 is a setup in GT, but that stock has been so ring, I wouldn't
[12:48] {nemo} ring=strong
[12:50] {nemo} Hey CC:  http://bit.ly/1dwpMzv
[12:52] {+cc_9} i see the skid marks by the rock

[13:34] {RonS} take care dino...you will come back...
[13:35] {dino} thx, appreciate it. back at it tomorrow. ironically the few swings i had on in stsmart pro covered my daytrading losses, so, net/net even. but have to figure out my day trade issues
[13:35] {nemo} dcc dino
[13:53] {dino} guys, goes w/o saying, do not blindly trade off of me tomorrow, or for the next several days
01[13:54] {&Threei}  dino... my bet is, will take you till next week max
01[13:54] {&Threei}  not a first time
01[13:55] {&Threei}  poor white house mouthpiece defends against Gates accusations
01[13:55] {&Threei}  guy has the worst job in the world
[13:56] {nemo} yeah, and Gates is known universally as an honorable guy
01[13:56] {&Threei}  very much so
01[13:56] {&Threei}  politically agnostic, highly professional
[13:58] {+cc_9} VXX trade, get ready for it
[14:00] {Les} ty Nemo
01[14:02] {&Threei}  US) MINUTES OF THE DEC 17-18 FOMC MEETING: JOB MARKET EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE; PARTICIPANTS HAD CONCERN ABOUT LOW INFLATION- Some officials did discuss changing unemployment thresholds'
01[14:02] {&Threei}  some felt a larger reduction in bond buying in December and a faster end to the program was warranted
[14:02] {nemo} what I do now?
01[14:02] {&Threei}  lol, each next line sends market in opposite direction
[14:02] {nemo} was I drunk?
01[14:03] {&Threei}  were you ever not?
[14:03] {+cc_9} no direction in market yet
[14:03] {+cc_9} 183.85 we roof
[14:03] {+cc_9} 183.25 we dogtank
[14:04] {Les} shorted GLD initially at .25 and stopped flat.
[14:04] {Les} shorted GLD at .14 stop above .25 and watched it like a hawk
[14:05] {Les} same L2 shit as TXTR
[14:05] {Les} trying to drive it higher on 3, 15, 8 shares etc
[14:05] {Les} very interesting to watch this happen
[14:05] {Les} thought the bastards were gonna get me
[14:05] {Les} then the trapdoor opened
[14:06] {Les} cc and your conversation was very enlightening
[14:06] {Les} all out .85
[14:06] {+cc_9} right now les, too much order flow bc of Fed, you see SPY wick up/down , no direction yet
[14:06] {+cc_9} there is always one fake move before it reverses to the actual EOD direction
[14:06] {+cc_9} at this level, its 50/50 since no side has yet been taken
[14:06] {Les} that might have been my luck
[14:06] {+cc_9} VXX and SPY are literally at the same price they were before fed
[14:06] {+cc_9} no change
[14:07] {Les} shorted at 13:44
[14:07] {nemo} or as Cooper says the market does the "cha cha cha"  take the third "cha"
01[14:07] {&Threei}  lol
01[14:07] {&Threei}  Les, aside of being a bit too close to the minutes release time, that was valid setup
[14:07] {Les} but watching L2 closely for first time... telling its own story
[14:08] {nemo} spaghetti trade
01[14:08] {&Threei}  I wouldn't take it for that reason, minutes release could have sent it either w'ay screaming
[14:08] {+cc_9} there you go, SPY now giving in
[14:08] {Les} thought I'd fucked up again, but GDX refused to budge off of .70
01[14:08] {&Threei}  but pure chart wise, it was a good trade
[14:08] {+cc_9} 14:04 cc_9 183.25 we dogtank
[14:08] {+cc_9} look @ the bottom of the wick
[14:08] {+cc_9} .25 on the nose, hence anything below = dog move
01[14:09] {&Threei}  bottom line in minutes as far as I can tell is:
[14:09] {nemo} cha=down  cha cha=up  cha cha cha=down
01[14:09] {&Threei}  they rejected the idea of adjusting threshold for QE ending
[14:12] {thomcbell} lvs very very firm here
01[14:12] {&Threei}  with Fed comprised mostly of doves, the fact that most thought reduction in buying was necessary is very telling
01[14:13] {&Threei} Short Setup: GLD  .80 break hl
01[14:14] {&Threei}  If holds  .90
01[14:16] {&Threei}  stop to .86
