01[11:35] {@Threei} are you generating commissions for your broker?
[11:36] {stillstanding} demo commissions only:)
01[11:36] {@Threei} doesn't matter really... paper trading should be done the same ad you would do real one, otherwise what's the point
[11:38] {stillstanding} That's the way I would have traded with a live account (paper cuts)
01[11:38] {@Threei} that's the way to make your broker immensely happy while not adding anything to your own profits
[11:39] {stillstanding} i know. that is why i need to learn.

01[12:39] {@Threei} Ann: lose what?
[12:39] {RonS} at least spelled correctly...ese: loose....
01[12:39] {@Threei} that's canadian spelling
[12:41] {stillstanding} out C 52.17 - .02
[12:42] {dino} lol
[12:43] {dino} stillstand, no praying here, that was an order, that was unfortunately disobeyed
01[12:48] {@Threei} Long Setup: VXX .75 break
01[12:48] {@Threei} If holds .65
01[12:52] {@Threei} following dino's example... SPY, lose .40!
01[12:54] {@Threei} with about the same success, eh?
[12:56] {dino} lol
[12:58] {stillstanding} it's only 1 trade of many :)
[12:59] {stillstanding} ez to say on demo
01[13:10] {@Threei} hmmm... I get from SPY what I wanted (unlike dino from Ann), byt VXX is not in a rush to follow
01[13:11] {@Threei} sorry dino, I am afraid Ann is just not into you
[13:13] {dino} just broke
01[13:14] {@Threei} Secret US - Russia talks on Ukraine held in Finland

[13:28] {dino} cov ann, .95, +.60
[13:39] {nemo} boy are they holding up the IWM today]
01[13:41] {@Threei} look at the range
01[13:42] {@Threei} volume too leaves to desire
01[13:54] {@Threei} (UR) Bilateral talks previously scheduled for today between Ukraine and Russia said to have been cancelled - unsubstantiated tweets citing Ukraine TV
[13:57] {Raven} an "unsubstantiated tweet" - what a world - sheesh
01[13:57] {@Threei} lol
[14:02] {oka} hello
01[14:02] {@Threei} hi oka
[14:02] {oka} how do i get to reality trader chat?
[14:02] {nemo} LSD
[14:02] {oka} hi threei
01[14:03] {@Threei} see private message please
01[14:09] {@Threei} let's see if nemo's IWM gives us entry on pullback
01[14:10] {@Threei} btw... notice that small caps outperform SPY
01[14:10] {@Threei} when does this usually happen?
[14:11] {nemo} bull market and beginning of euphoria
[14:11] {stillstanding} when i am short them?
[14:11] {nemo} risk on dude
01[14:11] {@Threei} final stages of the bull market
01[14:11] {@Threei} and lol stillstanding
[14:12] {nemo} they can go for awhile still
[14:12] {nemo} a long while
01[14:12] {@Threei} oh, of course
01[14:12] {@Threei} nobody says final stage is hours or days
01[14:13] {@Threei} and nobody says it's fully here already, it's just one day observation
[14:13] {nemo} probably next spring once in sixth year of Obama's term
01[14:13] {@Threei} but picture consists of many pieces, so just observing one of them
01[14:16] {@Threei} forms breakout instead of pullback
01[14:16] {@Threei} not inclined to trade breakouts right now
[14:16] {nemo} 117 awful tempting
01[14:21] {@Threei} (UR) Belarus President Lukashenko: Talks on Ukraine agree on a need for de-escalation; Some fundamental differences exist, but having the meeting itself was a success - Putin and Poroshenko agree to have bilateral meeting and said to now be under way
01[14:21] {@Threei} fundamental differences, eh? like: to shoot at each other or not
[14:24] {nemo} can make an argument for IWM short here
01[14:24] {@Threei} hmmm
01[14:24] {@Threei} you are a brave one
01[14:24] {@Threei} I'd rather leave it to you and wait for a drop to seek long entry
[14:25] {nemo} it hit R2 on daily, iwm short setup, finnies staying under vwap, vxx actually staying above
01[14:25] {@Threei} but is you want it, then .80 break is your trigger
[14:25] {nemo} spy short setup having trouble with vwap rather
01[14:25] {@Threei} with .90 stop
01[14:25] {@Threei} it's a valid trade, just not my cap of tea
[14:26] {nemo} you put tea in your hat?
01[14:26] {@Threei} spelling nazi
01[14:27] {@Threei} someone hand me grenade launcher
[14:27] {nemo} better than being a keyboard rabbi
01[14:27] {@Threei} no... flamethrower
06[14:27] * nemo wonders: "Where did that come from?"
01[14:28] {@Threei} from that dark space with cobwebs you call your attic?
[14:28] {nemo} oh, I thought it was too much pressure on my brain from sitting so much
01[14:28] {@Threei} actually your IWM short idea starts looking better
01[14:29] {@Threei} so maybe you stood up for a min? {G}
[14:29] {nemo} that .81 is key to .10 cents
[14:30] {nemo} Evel Knievel trade
[14:32] {nemo} On May 1, 1984, ABC bought remaining 85% of ESPN it didn't already own from Texaco for $202m; it's now worth $50.8B
[14:37] {nemo} look at that, spy will let go a bit, not IWM
01[14:37] {@Threei} same thing happened earlier with VXX, remember?
[14:42] {dino} kang stuck, out flat
[14:44] {stillstanding} sold IWM 116.86
[14:49] {stillstanding} out at .91 - .05
[14:50] {nemo} nice tight stop 117 siren call
[14:50] {stillstanding} sold low bought high. i'm good at that
[14:51] {nemo} when it didn't bite on that last setup I saw, I figured they'll look for 117
[14:52] {stillstanding} .89 .90 previous resistance areas.why i went short.
[14:53] {nemo} yeah, but when you're that close to a major level .91 is daily R2 with the whole just above it, need to either set your stop above .91 or the whole...to many magnets for price action here
[14:55] {nemo} some other stuff: Never short a dull market... Having said that, remember Before I said spy was looking short, well it's recovered, so it's not helping an IWM short
[14:55] {stillstanding} dont look at the R2 stuff but the whole number I do.
[14:55] {nemo} VXX is just bobbing along, and there's no direction to the finnies
[14:56] {nemo} so nothing else in the environment is supporting an IWM short
[14:57] {nemo} SPY volume
[15:01] {stillstanding} IWM l .85
[15:02] {dino} stillstand, use those freestockcharts.com for levels
[15:05] {stillstanding} where would i see that?
[15:06] {dino} freestockcharts.com, you add the levels
[15:08] {nemo} spy slipping
[15:11] {nemo} short .86
[15:11] {nemo} IWM
01[15:11] {@Threei} Long Setup: FB .80 break
01[15:11] {@Threei} If holds .70
[15:22] {stillstanding} when can we start calling FB names?
[15:22] {nemo} stop to .89
01[15:23] {@Threei} if and when it stops us out
[15:26] {nemo} stop .82
01[15:28] {@Threei} oh boy... take a look at this:
01[15:28] {@Threei} http://www.kyivpost.com/media/images/2014/08/26/p1909bcfmompi130t10mansafk4/big.jpg
[15:28] {nemo} partial .72
[15:29] {RonS} looks like Putin is trying to stop his heart with a stare...
01[15:29] {@Threei} lol
01[15:31] {@Threei} good one nemo
[15:31] {nemo} spy and finnies wre looking weak, and if you're gonna get some selling on such an up day, usually after 3
[15:32] {stillstanding} nemo; trying to scare us?
[15:32] {nemo} I don't have to try
[15:32] {stillstanding} 3I not worried
[15:33] {nemo} why would he be
01[15:33] {@Threei} bear market is my favorite... why would selling scare me
01[15:33] {@Threei} I can't wait for the bull to be over
[15:33] {stillstanding} wee are long FB
[15:34] {nemo} ahhh
[15:34] {nemo} BOHICA
[15:34] {nemo} stop .80
01[15:35] {@Threei} thing holds a few cents under day high, not drops with SPY
01[15:35] {@Threei} why wouldn't we be long
01[15:35] {@Threei} any market bounce should take it to breakout point and above
01[15:35] {@Threei} typical salmon
[15:36] {nemo} fb looking iffy
01[15:36] {@Threei} if market breaks down and stops it, well, this is something built in in any trade
[15:36] {stillstanding} see?
01[15:36] {@Threei} see what? that a trade might be stopped?
01[15:36] {@Threei} wow
01[15:37] {@Threei} never happened before
[15:37] {nemo} yeah I'm Mr. 100%
[15:38] {nemo} yep...100% unadulterated taurine excrement
[15:38] {stillstanding} see nemo saying it looks iffy..
[15:38] {nemo} yeah, after he was in the trade...shit turns
[15:39] {nemo} when he called it you had just had a range, that lifted and formed a higher range, made sense
[15:39] {nemo} and frankly, it's likely to be either a rinse or a range into the close
01[15:43] {@Threei} brrrreak
01[15:43] {@Threei} good girl
[15:43] {nemo} see
01[15:43] {@Threei} half out
01[15:43] {@Threei} stop .79
01[15:43] {@Threei} time's pressing
[15:44] {nemo} IWM held on by the proverbial hair
[15:44] {stillstanding} i had a .89 target
01[15:44] {@Threei} eod, adjust your expectations
01[15:44] {@Threei} 15 min left
01[15:45] {@Threei} salmons are fragile
[15:45] {stillstanding} all out at .87

01[15:48] {@Threei} ok
