01[09:24] {@Threei} - (US) Fed Chair Yellen: was surprised that the Dec and Jan payrolls reports came in below expectations, but cannot jump to conclusions based on two reports which may have been influenced by factors such as the extreme weather. At its March meeting the Fed will have a broad range of new data to consider - Q&A; Would take a "notable change" in the outlook to change course on tapering.

01[10:24] {Threei} let's tighten it to .01
01[10:26] {Threei} (US) Fed's Bullard: Could use monetary policy in the future to head off possible asset price bubbles - comments to reporters- employment/population ratio and hours worked are the key metrics to determine health of the US labor market - Notes a recovering economy is a fertile place for bubbles to appear - would prefer ending reference to 6.5% unemployment threshold - Highlights that the "Audit the Fed" legislation constitutes political interfence

01[11:39] {Threei} for the last 6 months?
[11:39] {RonS} you had to pay?
[11:39] {munky} preferrably yes
01[11:40] {Threei} that's a whole lot of bananas...
01[11:40] {Threei} Long Setup: GDX .20 break
01[11:40] {Threei} If holds .15
01[11:40] {Threei} scalp only most likely
[11:42] {munky} im finding this dime/scalpers mkt very annoyinmg
[11:42] {munky} if u dont take the dime, ghoes against ya
[11:42] {munky} mkts have no power
01[11:42] {Threei} that's why you partial
[11:42] {munky} my few best trades since room are all shorts
01[11:43] {Threei} and we had 1:3 and 1:2 today
[11:43] {munky} but if u partial a half lot, its 25 bux
[11:43] {munky} then rest out flat
01[11:44] {Threei} why 25?
01[11:44] {Threei} 1000 is a standard lot
[11:44] {munky} half lot 500 shares
01[11:44] {Threei} ah
01[11:45] {Threei} how many tardes are hl
01[11:45] {Threei} only the most volatile ones
[11:45] {munky} just observation, shortside has bmore momo
01[11:46] {Threei} it's just because Jan was mostly bearish
[11:46] {munky} after our first fb call, which went 1"1
01[11:46] {Threei} different in raging bull
[11:46] {munky} it tanked
01[11:46] {Threei} and generally, market drops faster than it climbs
[11:46] {munky} 1:7
[11:46] {munky} thats why i prefer short
[11:47] {munky} name should be shortmunky
[11:47] {munky} or munkyshort
[11:47] {munky} downmunky
[11:47] {munky} munkydwn
[11:48] {nemo} I know a headmunky
[11:48] {munky} now gdx call was short 1:4
[11:48] {munky} very nice one
[11:50] {dino} csod smr l .18 hooker
[11:50] {munky} out gdx
[11:51] {munky} room question
[11:51] {munky} whats a reasonable daily target here?
[11:52] {munky} come on guys, what is your daily goal??
[11:52] {dino} depends on stock
[11:52] {dino} ohh, $600
[11:52] {munky} no it does not
[11:52] {munky} ah, yes
[11:53] {munky} everyone else in here has no daily goal???
[11:53] {nemo} what the setups allow
[11:53] {munky} no nemo
[11:54] {nemo} personally you focus on a goal, I start taking marginal stuff to get there
[11:54] {munky} when u log in, u must think i want to achieve something
[11:54] {munky} set-ups allow where u end up
[11:54] {nemo} Honestly, I try to focus on the process and do that right
01[11:55] {Threei} I am with nemo on this one
[11:55] {nemo} It works for others, always gets me in trouble
[11:55] {nemo} You're having a slow day as far as setups
01[11:55] {Threei} what do you do if you are behind your goal?
[11:55] {nemo} then you start getting antsy
01[11:55] {Threei} exactly
01[11:55] {Threei} start taking setups that are not there?
[11:55] {nemo} I start getting that antsy feeling, I start drinking and shut down the software
01[11:56] {Threei} do things right, money will follow
[11:56] {goinshort} I agree with you - no set goal here
[11:56] {dino} munky, its more of an average thing, i have yearly goal, monthly goal, weekly, then ave for daily
[11:56] {nemo} Munky, I'm a bit on the weird side because of what I do outside of here...so, process for me is the thing
01[11:56] {Threei} start pushing for money, your trading becomes secondary
01[11:57] {Threei} and that's when troubles come
[11:57] {thomcbell} yes yes
01[11:57] {Threei} my favorite example:
[11:57] {nemo} Munkman, if it works for you, that's all that counts
[11:57] {dino} right nemo
01[11:57] {Threei} you are on an operation table,
[11:57] {dino} thoudands of ways to do it, find your edge
[11:58] {munky} even in vads book he talks about a daily goal i think
[11:58] {thomcbell} akam still looking for short entries here
01[11:58] {Threei} your surgeon thinks of how to perform the surgery best,
[11:58] {thomcbell} rally back up near 60.75
[11:58] {nemo} which book?
01[11:58] {Threei} another thinks of how much he is going to be paid for the procedure.
01[11:58] {Threei} Pick the one you want to perform on you
[11:58] {nemo} then what a dickhead his patient is
01[11:59] {Threei} you can think of your goals when you are firmly set in your trading procedure
01[11:59] {Threei} what setups you take, how you play them,
01[11:59] {Threei} when your discipline becomes firmly ingrained,
01[12:00] {Threei} becomes your second nature.
01[12:00] {Threei} Then you can figure out your average and think of the ways to increase it,
01[12:00] {Threei} add position size,
01[12:00] {Threei} or tweak your procedure
01[12:00] {Threei} with full realization that increase of profits means increase of risk.
[12:01] {nemo} Hey munkman, you ever do archery or target shooting?
[12:01] {munky} both
01[12:01] {Threei} But start thinking of your goals and pushing for them before you master the process... you are a road kill
[12:01] {nemo} o.k., so when you start, you want to hit that bullseye, don't you?
[12:02] {nemo} want it in the 10 ring
[12:02] {nemo} your focus is on that target
[12:02] {nemo} so, you start trying to hit it
[12:03] {nemo} there's no consistency to your form perhaps
[12:03] {nemo} but, boy I want to hit that target
[12:03] {nemo} then maybe somebody starts teaching you structure
[12:03] {dino} cyno strange, big beat, revs +75% and it just sits there
[12:03] {nemo} you find out the stability of your stance is important (archery for instance) and how to build that
[12:04] {nemo} then how you draw
01[12:04] {Threei} OK... it hurts me to admit it second time in one day... but nemo's right
[12:04] {nemo} then, if you're not using a compound bow, how to release, and consistent release using an English hold is much more complicated then one thinks
[12:05] {nemo} then of course there's the positioning of the bow at the time of release
[12:05] {nemo} sometimes you hit the bullseye, sometimes you don't
[12:06] {nemo} then one day you realize, that doing exactly the same process repeatedly makes it so you can hit the target consistently
[12:06] {nemo} What's really funny, when you get into the esoteric aspects of the art, is eventually, you actually feel the target
[12:07] {nemo} If you were to study Kyudo under a master, your first two years would be spent shooting at a blank wall
[12:07] {nemo} Why might that be?
01[12:07] {Threei} master really hates that wall?
[12:07] {nemo} no
[12:08] {nemo} Any guesses?
[12:08] {dino} lol
[12:09] {nemo} They don't want you to be tempted by the target
[12:09] {nemo} It's all about developing the process and your relationship to the bow
[12:09] {dino} two years is longer than most of my relationships
[12:09] {nemo} does your wife know that?
[12:10] {dino} prior to her of course
[12:10] {RonS} lol
01[12:10] {Threei} "of course?"
[12:11] {munky} well, thanx for xplaining, it makes sense
[12:12] {dino} anfi spike
[12:12] {nemo} it's kinda' esoteric, but the focus on the goal takes you out of the process
01[12:12] {Threei} makes total sense to me
[12:12] {nemo} yeah, well, you consider me normal
01[12:13] {Threei} which is very telling
[12:13] {nemo} damning more like it
01[12:15] {Threei} munky... look what just happened
[12:16] {nemo} oh oh
01[12:16] {Threei} JPM jumped 25 cents,
01[12:16] {Threei} in much shorter time than it took it to slide
01[12:16] {Threei} point is, things change
01[12:16] {Threei} no pattern you notice is forever
[12:16] {nemo} just like women
01[12:17] {Threei} thank god
[12:17] {nemo} yeah
[12:17] {munky} gotcha
[12:17] {munky} makes sense
01[12:17] {Threei} this btw explains one phenomenon,
01[12:18] {Threei} which anyone who traded with us long enough no doubt noticed:
01[12:18] {Threei} we trade very consistently for a certain period of time,
01[12:18] {Threei} hitting winning streaks lastign weeks or months, with many 100% days,
01[12:19] {Threei} then something happens and we are having 2-3 days, or even a week of struggle
01[12:19] {Threei} and then winning streak starts again.
01[12:19] {Threei} What happens is:
[12:19] {nemo} vxx at pivot
01[12:19] {Threei} we get certain marklet patterns right and start exploiting them,
01[12:19] {Threei} and it lasts until something changes in the market,
01[12:20] {Threei} but you rarely, if ever, can foresee the timing of the change and its exact nature,
01[12:20] {Threei} so you simply do what you do until it stops working,
[12:20] {dino} agree
[12:20] {nemo} yeah, although Vad, you tend to consistently have an issue around standard junctures in the market
01[12:20] {Threei} then you observe how exactly it works against you
01[12:21] {Threei} and adjust your procedure
01[12:21] {Threei} and winning streak starts again.
01[12:21] {Threei} nemo... isn't it what I just said?
01[12:21] {Threei} or you want to say that it can be foreseen, and adjustment can be taken in advance?
01[12:22] {Threei} maybe some geniuses can.
01[12:22] {Threei} my experience is, no
01[12:22] {Threei} you let the market lead you
01[12:22] {Threei} insteasd of trying to outsmart it
[12:23] {nemo} Well, Vad...I've been watching you for a while...you are pretty consistent at the standard junctures, around Memorial Day, Labor Day, etc. Standard market season junctures, then a coupla' more thrown in for good measure
01[12:23] {Threei} so, can you foresee the exact nature of change?
[12:23] {nemo} Put it this way...I have a pretty good idea when we should keep the bananas away from you
01[12:24] {Threei} how exactly should we change our procedure?
[12:24] {nemo} No, I wouldn't change it...I'm just saying you are consistent
01[12:24] {Threei} ok... let's try and implement this then
01[12:24] {Threei} necxt time you feel it's coming, alert us
[12:24] {thomcbell} selling another 1/4 here kog 11.70
[12:24] {nemo} o.k
[12:25] {nemo} just remember...no bananas
01[12:25] {Threei} I will continue doing what I do, but those who want to follow your idea may cut position size in half,
01[12:25] {Threei} or paper trade for a day or two
01[12:25] {Threei} and we will test whether it helps with transition
01[12:25] {Threei} If so, we will incorporate it in our approach
01[12:25] {Threei} deal?
[12:26] {nemo} not really, actually I think it would be harmful...my point is your consistency
01[12:26] {Threei} yes but my point is,
[12:26] {nemo} I don't think we can make it better
01[12:26] {Threei} if you can consistently predict when I am going to his a snag,
01[12:26] {Threei} why not cut down our activity at that point?
01[12:26] {Threei} his = hit
[12:27] {nemo} I would be concerned about trying to make the sword too sharp
[12:27] {munky} which shows here the pressure vad is under
[12:27] {munky} he puts it out there
[12:27] {nemo} He's very consistent
[12:28] {munky} only compliment im giving u this week
[12:28] {nemo} I'm just telling what I've seen...I don't mess with his system
01[12:28] {Threei} habing logs published for so many years, I doesn't feel like pressure anymore... it used to
01[12:29] {Threei} kind of git used to it I guess :)
[12:29] {nemo} Now, I'll mention if I think I'm seeing that period, just as I would say to myself or have to Dino or others it might be time to ease up for a bit...but that's it
01[12:30] {Threei} right
01[12:30] {Threei} anyway, we wull test it
[12:30] {nemo} I watched Vad have no losing days through a two month stretch in the Fall of 2008 when the market was falling apart
01[12:30] {Threei} no immediate change until and unless it proves itself two-three times
01[12:30] {Threei} oh, Iove panicking markets...
01[12:31] {Threei} munky would, too
[12:31] {nemo} Then I think you had one down day, and then another streak into the beginning of 2009
[12:31] {dino} fwiw nemo, you call turns pretty well in advance
