01[10:13] {@Threei}  something's happening behind the scenes
[10:13] {mib_stillstanding} trend is your friend?
01[10:13] {@Threei}  first time in a good while I see fear in the market
01[10:14] {@Threei}  1:1
01[10:14] {@Threei}  mib... think generic sayings known to anyone who can read will be enough to guide you in the markets? :)
[10:15] {mib_stillstanding} move stop in fb?
01[10:15] {@Threei}  partial and move stop, of course
01[10:15] {@Threei}  that's the standard procedure
01[10:16] {@Threei}  you've read it, right?
[10:17] {mib_stillstanding} read what?
01[10:18] {@Threei}  instructions how to follow the calls?
[10:19] {mib_stillstanding} was that in the previous link you sent me?
01[10:19] {@Threei}  http://www.realitytrader.com/tradingroom/#instructions
[10:20] {mib_stillstanding} thought you posted stops as you moved them
01[10:20] {@Threei}  ok... have you read this?
01[10:20] {@Threei}  that's standard procedure that you can follow without any reminders from me
[10:21] {mib_stillstanding} reading now.
01[10:21] {@Threei}  why would I waste time typing the same thing over and over?
01[10:21] {@Threei}  now,
01[10:21] {@Threei}  there are deviations from SOP,
01[10:21] {@Threei}  in those cases I do post trails or partials
01[10:21] {@Threei}  that are not understood by default.
01[10:22] {@Threei}  tell me, d you take this seriously or just spednign time here out of boredom?
[10:23] {mib_stillstanding} serious but slow...
[10:23] {mib_stillstanding} IQ and waistsize similiar
[10:27] {mib_stillstanding} if filled on entry with 2 cents slippage still keep original target or adjust? I assume no adjustment.
[10:27] {nemo} no adjustment
[10:27] {ese} whats tweaking your thought process vad re some underlying fear.......what are you sensing.....i've been too absent this summer so am not feeling it

[10:55] {mib_stillstanding} re your remark on 10:30 --- is anything out of character in the market? anything can happen at any time.
01[10:56] {@Threei}  market acts in a certain way for months; then makes a move against this way with no news. I'd call it "out of character"
01[10:57] {@Threei} Long Setup:  TWTR  .05 break
01[10:57] {@Threei}  If holds  .95

01[11:06] {@Threei}  let's try aggressive entry
01[11:09] {@Threei}  .05 break will make or, ummm, break this trade
01[11:10] {@Threei}  Poroshenko says will urge rebel withdrawal at Minsk meeting with Putin
01[11:10] {@Threei}  Putin: I in turn will urge Porosheko withdrawal from Ukraine
[11:11] {mib_stillstanding} scary because inices at high
[11:11] {mib_stillstanding} indices
01[11:11] {@Threei}  I also wanted to urge Obama withdrawal from USA but then thought ISA should not be that lucky
01[11:11] {@Threei}  why is it scary?
[11:12] {mib_stillstanding} may not go higher than previous hihg. sideways day. would be nice if index a little lower.
01[11:13] {@Threei}  how do you know it's going to be sideways day?
01[11:13] {@Threei}  and not break of the high and move higher?
01[11:13] {@Threei}  half out TWTR
01[11:14] {@Threei}  stop .94 for now

[11:48] {dino} another slow august day
01[11:48] {@Threei}  yes
01[11:48] {@Threei}  either events start developing, or we get traditional sept activity pickup and then perfect tradingoctober
01[11:52] {@Threei}  FB reestablished
[12:03] {mib_stillstanding} fb short now. correct?
01[12:03] {@Threei}  yes
01[12:07] {@Threei}  stop to .56
01[12:09] {@Threei}  should have covered at .42... expectations are diminished
[12:09] {dino} lci stop .00, -.30
01[12:09] {@Threei}  slept through it
01[12:14] {@Threei}  meh
[12:14] {mib_stillstanding} FB formed a minor bull flag on 1 min. why not take b/o of it?
01[12:15] {@Threei}  where?
[12:16] {mib_stillstanding} between 12:07 and 12:11 74.42 74.52

[12:36] {mib_stillstanding} TWTR inv
[12:37] {nemo} a momentary violation may leave it in tact, arguably it drops .94, forget it
[12:38] {mib_stillstanding} discretion...

[12:38] {nemo} EBAY loos short under 56

[12:43] {mib_stillstanding} TWTR invalidated?
01[12:44] {@Threei}  on watch still
01[12:44] {@Threei}  not sure
01[12:44] {@Threei}  will call valididty if it reestablishes
[12:45] {nemo} EU rules against powerful vacuum cleaners, bans models that use above 1600 watts. Saving the planet from climate change.
01[12:49] {@Threei}  valid again
[12:49] {mib_stillstanding} what do you call someone who can suck a golf ball through 10 feet of garden hose?
[12:53] {nemo} not here mib
[12:59] {nemo} might be boredom, but the indexes look like maybe a pull in coming
[13:02] {nemo} need the finnies to break, but IWM weakest
[13:02] {mib_stillstanding} what does 'pull in' mean?
[13:03] {nemo} pull back
[13:03] {nemo} drop
[13:03] {nemo} fall
[13:03] {nemo} sorry, English a second language
[13:03] {mib_stillstanding} could have meant 'mean reversion'
[13:04] {nemo} we all know I'm mean and revert often
[13:06] {mib_stillstanding} in twtr at 45.03
[13:06] {mib_stillstanding} long
01[13:07] {@Threei}  a bit high entry
01[13:08] {@Threei}  .01 was available
[13:09] {mib_stillstanding} i have to enter manually and not on stop. i'm on demo lightspeed.
[13:10] {mib_stillstanding} do you keep your tartegt and stop orders open and cancel as appropriate? or some type of OCO?
01[13:10] {@Threei}  manual is the best way
[13:13] {mib_stillstanding} where stop on twtr?
01[13:13] {@Threei}  .94
[13:15] {mib_stillstanding} out twtr
[13:15] {mib_stillstanding} 3 cents profit
[13:16] {mib_stillstanding} at 12:50 big red volume spike. yet long still taken. ???
01[13:17] {@Threei}  ??
01[13:18] {@Threei}  how is it relevant to anything?
[13:18] {nemo} twtr right up against vwap
[13:19] {mib_stillstanding} twtr. i assumed a down bar with large volume would be a sign of weakness. yet we went long shortly afterwards.
01[13:19] {@Threei}  no
[13:19] {nemo} one downbar does not a trend make
01[13:19] {@Threei}  this is horrible oversimplification
01[13:19] {@Threei}  that one bar could have been a low block for instance, which is bullish sign
01[13:20] {@Threei}  or it could have been selling exhaustion, kind of mini-capitulation
[13:22] {mib_stillstanding} exhausion usually found at end of trend . this was in middle of a small uptrend.
01[13:23] {@Threei}  I gove up. You know everything
01[13:23] {@Threei}  give
[13:24] {mib_stillstanding} dont "know" anything. just expressing my thoughts.
01[13:26] {@Threei}  stop to .99
[13:57] {mib_stillstanding} any comments about 60 second binary options?
01[13:58] {@Threei}  yes: what the duece is that?
[14:00] {mib_stillstanding} probably a ripoff.you bet any amount that the price will be above current price in x seconds or minutes. If you win you get back about 1.7 or 1.8. if you lose you get back either 0 or .1
01[14:01] {@Threei}  lol
01[14:01] {@Threei}  here is comment:
01[14:01] {@Threei}  forget this fraudulent crap. learn to make money old-fashioned way
[14:02] {nemo}  what? go into politics and steal it?
[14:02] {mib_stillstanding} reason i got out of TWTR was market seems to be going nowhere. maybe does not even pay to trade in low volume sideways day.
[14:03] {mib_stillstanding} or fade breakouts. I'm sure i'll catch hell for this last comment.
01[14:03] {@Threei}  you are wrong, this is one correct comment
[14:05] {mib_stillstanding} what is min target you would trade for . 5 cents?
[14:06] {mib_stillstanding} $50 profit and $10 commision?
01[14:07] {@Threei}  10
01[14:07] {@Threei}  if 5 cents, I will tarde larger shares
[14:15] {mib_stillstanding} makes sense
[14:17] {nemo} are we ready for the spy run to 200?
[14:19] {mib_stillstanding} depends on 3I
[14:20] {mib_stillstanding} only goldman sachs and morgan stanley know!!
[14:20] {mib_stillstanding} nobody knows anything..
[14:20] {mib_stillstanding} if signal comes we take..
