Nov 20 2014

Classic breakout setup, serving as aggressive entry for day high break. That in turn led to an explosive move 

(chart courtesy of broker)

The day continued in the most pleasant way, offering trade after trade adding to the early profits. TWTR served as our ATM of the day, although some other added too.

01[11:57] {@Threei}  there is plenty of unneeded crap being taught by various people
01[11:57] {@Threei}  do they demonstrate their stuff working profitably, day in day out, as we do here?
[11:58] {dino} k.i.s.s. method here
[11:58] {_chasj} He is profitable but does not get as many right as you
01[11:59] {@Threei}  hey... if he is profitable, that's already an achievement... most of them are just fraud, plain and simple :)
[12:00] {dino} smr s dds .17
[12:01] {dino} stop .28 -.11. it tasks me
[12:01] {_chasj} gets about 1/2 right but by putting good stops in and getting out as you do 1:2 1

[12:02] {RonS} Marcato: Dillard's 'Could Unlock Tremendous Value' With REIT Spinoff
01[12:22] {@Threei}  The Philly Fed's manufacturing outlook crushed expectations and delivered the highest headline figure since December 1993. Expectations of 18.5 were down slightly from last month's 20.7 reading. The new orders index rose 18 points to 35.7. Analysts note that the striking numbers runs counter to other surveys this month, with both the Empire State manufacturing report and flash PMI reports coming in mixed. Others note the series has had spikes followed by big revisions in the past.
[12:22] {nemo} oh jeez, Pats signed LeGarrette Blount
01[12:23] {@Threei}  The October existing home sales pushed out to a one-year high of 5.26 million units, while the supply of homes on the market fell to a seven-month low of 5.1 months equivalent.
01[12:23] {@Threei}  this last one was btw one of the reasons behind our GLD short trade
01[12:24] {@Threei}  by all other numbers in this venue I expected this one to be good, and GLD works as a fade to SPY these days
01[12:24] {@Threei}  so shorting it near its low right in front of the housing numbers made perfect sense to me
01[12:24] {@Threei}  both technical setup and fundamentals came together for a nice juicy trade
