Apr 15 2105

Very solid day with a lot of nice plays. Notably, CELG 1:4 was the one that put us that far over the goal line that we could try and push for more without risking much.

01[10:43] {@Threei}  not too shabby
[10:44] {dino} ty, 3 for 3, at daily goal already.
01[10:45] {@Threei}  Poland's prime minister spoke out Wednesday against plans by a Russian motorcycle club to ride through Poland on a journey to Berlin to mark the 70th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany.
01[10:45] {@Threei}  The Night Wolves, a nationalistic group loyal to Russian President Vladimir Putin, plan to retrace the westward path that Red Army soldiers took across eastern Europe as they fought Nazi troops.
[11:03] {dino} .
01[11:04] {@Threei} Long Setup:  IWM  .45 break
01[11:04] {@Threei}  If holds  .35
[11:12] {drewj} Vad I'd like to understand how you judge that a trade is invalid.
[11:13] {drewj} Do you wait until the price action is only 10 cents wide?
01[11:13] {@Threei}  if a stop level is hit before triggering
[11:13] {drewj} How does that relate
[11:13] {drewj} ?
01[11:13] {@Threei}  I don't understand, sorry
01[11:13] {@Threei}  look at IWM
[11:13] {drewj} Oh...because the price is too far away from the trigger?
01[11:13] {@Threei}  .45 is trigger
01[11:14] {@Threei}  .35 is condition
01[11:14] {@Threei}  if it loses .35 before triggering, it's invalidated
[11:14] {drewj} SO how can it become valid again?
01[11:14] {@Threei}  .35 is support level which, if lost is stopping trade or invalidating it
01[11:15] {@Threei}  if a trade is on already (.45 is broken), .35 becomes stop level
01[11:15] {@Threei}  if a trade never triggers, .35 remains invalidation level
[11:15] {drewj} So your trades all have S/R trigger and some support level as a stop?
01[11:16] {@Threei}  yes
[11:16] {jfjf64} First nice day here
[11:16] {jfjf64} Ant invasion
[11:16] {jfjf64} Can't win
01[11:16] {@Threei}  weather wise, jf?
[11:16] {drewj} Be careful jf...
[11:16] {jfjf64} Yes
[11:17] {drewj} Vad so what is the way you determine to fade a setup?
01[11:17] {@Threei}  I've no idea how to asnwer that :)
[11:17] {drewj} say something mysterious
01[11:18] {@Threei}  I work in mysterious ways
[11:18] {jfjf64} He stands on his head
[11:18] {drewj} oh my
01[11:18] {@Threei}  Invalidated  IWM
01[11:18] {@Threei}  see?
[11:18] {drewj} i have seen the light
01[11:18] {@Threei}  .35 is lost before triggering
[11:18] {drewj} but you do not want to short it?
01[11:18] {@Threei}  conditionof setup validity is not there anymore
01[11:19] {@Threei}  not really, it's too random time of the day now
[11:20] {drewj} so if the follow through were to be on the short side now it might be worth a look to short it?
[11:21] {jfjf64} Twtr s here
01[11:21] {@Threei}  often, yes
01[11:21] {@Threei}  .20 break, jf...
[11:22] {jfjf64} Yes
[11:22] {jfjf64} Tight stop
[11:23] {jfjf64} Invalid

[11:53] {jfjf64} Vol subs
[11:53] {jfjf64} Wuba
01[11:55] {@Threei}  The Greece situation keeps getting uglier. A German Finance Ministry official told the press that no one expects outstanding issues to be resolved by the April 24th Eurogroup meeting and echoed other commentators in saying that no progress being made in current negotiations.
[11:56] {jfjf64} Long 63.00
[11:56] {jfjf64} Out
[11:57] {jfjf64} Going to lunch
[11:58] {jfjf64} Will shoot mysel later for takin .30 cents
[11:58] {jfjf64} Will be up 3.00 bucks
01[12:13] {@Threei}  German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on April 15 that the United States must play an important role in helping to solve the crisis in Ukraine
01[12:14] {@Threei}  amazing... troubles in their backyard, threatening them the most
01[12:14] {@Threei}  and it's US that need to solve it
01[12:15] {@Threei}  read this and tell me you don't eant to smack this guy over the head:
01[12:15] {@Threei}  "We will not fall back into the history of a 100 years ago that you can change with military force. For this we need the United States," Schaeuble said
01[12:15] {@Threei}  "We know that we need the United States. We know that we have to care as Europeans on this matter, better than most have expected that the Europeans would do, but it is difficult to get it. A difficult job," he said.
[12:20] {dino} once again, asking usa to carry the load
01[12:27] {@Threei}  yes - and no doubt, cursing it for being agressive right after
[12:30] {drewj} They can't do much themselves because they aren't allowed a military to do it.
01[12:31] {@Threei}  Germany yes, but what about the rest of EU
[12:31] {drewj} They bicker to much to stand united against Russia.
01[12:32] {@Threei}  there you go
[12:32] {drewj} Collectively they would have a chance but as separate whiny countries they can't do much.
01[12:33] {@Threei}  and so, which three countries send military personal to Ukraine now to train their army?
01[12:33] {@Threei}  answer is quite striking
01[12:34] {@Threei}  US, UK, Canada
[12:34] {dino}  putin will take all of ukraine before eu acts. and then they will just say, you can have ukraine but no more (which is basically what they said about crimea
[12:34] {drewj} Not sure.  US. UK
01[12:35] {@Threei}  yeah, and next thing you know, he says "ty, and btw, Moldova, Belarus, and a few more are mine too"
[12:35] {drewj} I almost had it
[12:35] {drewj} A new Hitler.
[12:35] {dino} rio drop
01[12:36] {@Threei}  yup... similarities are mind-boggling
[12:36] {dino} sm l .93 rio
[12:39] {dino} wow sage
[12:42] {dino} gs cuts rio to sell, stop to .03
[12:44] {dino} to .13
[12:47] {dino} to .16
[12:48] {dino} to .23
[12:49] {dino} out rio .23, +.30
[12:54] {drewj} Nice dino
[12:57] {dino} ty
[12:58] {drewj} GDX break .70?
01[12:59] {@Threei}  chart is right but too narrow and slow
01[12:59] {@Threei}  just doubt there is enough room for profit
[12:59] {drewj} So no follow through...?
01[13:01] {@Threei}  why, it may follow through just fine, it's just a very narrow mover
01[13:01] {@Threei}  you need something with enough room for movement
01[13:02] {@Threei}  unless you intend a scal for 5-6 cents with large shares
01[13:02] {@Threei}  scalp
01[13:02] {@Threei}  then yes, it's a good one
01[13:05] {@Threei}  remember scalp type 1 from scalping videocourse?
01[13:05] {@Threei}  this is perfect stock for that
01[13:06] {@Threei}  right about now you'd start feeding your shares into buying at .76
01[13:06] {@Threei}  let's say 3K out of 5
[13:07] {drewj} ok
[13:12] {drewj} This is really interesting to me Vad.
[13:12] {drewj} So follow through has nothing to do with the width then right?
[13:13] {drewj} Then that would mean the wide movers have to have more space between trigger and next S/R?
01[13:16] {@Threei}  follow through is a measurement of how well stocks follow the pattern
01[13:16] {@Threei}  width is a room for profit
[13:16] {drewj} So then dino would be on the extreem end of this conversation trading over-reactions with huge price swings?
01[13:16] {@Threei}  pretty much
01[13:17] {@Threei}  and notice this important element:
01[13:17] {@Threei}  while on this narrow mover we talk about large shares, to utilize relatively small move,
01[13:17] {@Threei}  in dino'sa case shares must be lower, to handle increased risk
[13:28] {dino} back in 30-45
[13:33] {drewj} GDX took off
01[13:46] {@Threei}  good chart is good chart
[13:57] {drewj} Vad you said GDX didn't have a lot of room for movement...did you say that because the price range before that was narrow as well?
01[13:57] {@Threei}  yeah, general range is too small
01[13:58] {@Threei}  on daily too
01[13:58] {@Threei}  it just rarely moves large
01[14:07] {@Threei}  anyone wants to cross the stix river to the valley of shadows?
01[14:07] {@Threei}  Chaeron is here
[14:08] {Chaeron} Hi everybody! I didn't want to interrupt the major flow of conversation....
01[14:08] {@Threei}  :)
