Jun 10 2010

For a while it seemed we wouldn't even get an example for today - so boring and uneventful the market has been. Then close to an end of the day a nice tradeable pattern finally came along - Cup and Handle break. Chart is self-explanatory.








Still, the day was barely worth waking up for.

Wed Jun 09 2010

Per one member's request, we will do two charts today (I guess he likes them). First is beautiful LVS breakdown - we were hunting for a setup on it but its first moves after opening were too vicious with no clear setups. Finally it formed a decent range for a short - 10 cents risk, the reward is easy to see on this cascading chart.

Second one is CAT breakout. Chart break was 58.15 but there was also a huge offer at .16, so we made the break of that price our long trigger.
Overall, very nice day with a lot of good trades on both sides.

[08:46] {Threei} (GR) China is looking to invest heavily in Greece - Washington Post (update)
[08:47] {Threei} my translation: {China} let's talk this thing up, maybe we can dump at beter prices
[08:47] {Threei} - The Chinese are planning to spend hundreds or even billions of euros into Greece. The cornerstone of the plans is the transformation of the Greek port of Piraeus into "the Rotterdam of the south," creating a modern gateway linking Chinese factories with consumers across Europe and North Africa.
[08:47] {Threei} - This week, the Chinese shipping giant Cosco assumed full control of the major container dock in Piraeus, just southwest of Athens. In return, the Chinese have pledged to spend $700 million to construct a new pier and upgrade existing docks.
[08:47] {Threei} - The Greek government is also courting China for a bevy of other projects, including a sprawling new distribution center in the industrial wastelands west of Athens, a monorail line, five-star hotels and a new maritime theme park
[08:48] {Threei} or:
[08:49] {Threei} let's at least spend those Euros as fast as we can and get an ownership of something real, while we still can buy something for this dying currency
[08:50] {nemo} How much you want to bet they eventually put a Naval fleet there? They have no bases to speak of outside of China.

[13:16] {larisa} lol
[13:17] {Threei} think about it... you have all the bananas and coconuts you want, plenty of fish others catch for you, and when some poor bloke violates one of multiple taboos you install, you get to eat him too
[13:17] {Threei} plus natural beauty around
[13:18] {jfjf64} what ya drinkin vad
[13:18] {Threei} [13:14] {Threei} if I have a choice, I pick a shaman on Big Island of Hawaii 300 years ago

[13:19] {jfjf64} what was entry
[13:19] {RonS} ...don't believe that liberal tripe shorty. Mankind has always killed each other regardless...
[13:19] {shorty} lol
[13:19] {Threei} 13:15] {Threei} but other than that, some consolidation followed by .50 break is tempting
[13:20] {jfjf64} hmmmm
[13:20] {RonS} did not consolidate enough for me...
[13:20] {Threei} no
[13:20] {Threei} thin , thus volatile

[13:24] {shorty} He would be shark bait.
[13:24] {Threei} how the hell did I become the butt of your (questionable) jokes today??
[13:25] {RonS} ...you brought up the time machine thinking...
[13:25] {nemo} Not quite the same thing, Vad's actually a solid fellow, but I've been at the beach watching rather large people swim, and thought, "They make good shark bait, do I really want to be anywhere near them?"
[13:25] {RonS} lol

[13:38] {Threei} oh god
[13:38] {Threei} Simmons also thinks that perhaps the only way to seal the gush of oil is by doing what the Soviet Union did decades ago -- setting off a bomb deep underground so that the fiery blast will melt the surrounding rock and shut off the spill.
[13:38] {nemo} now .59
[13:39] {nemo} RIMMM
[13:39] {nemo} it's gone

[13:43] {Threei} stop for hardcore scalpers is .65, for normal people abpve .70
[13:43] {Threei} and for those who want big drop, .80
[13:43] {Threei} in any case, it's much better way to enter short than wait for .50 break
[13:43] {Les} yeh lvs took me for a ride this morning. payback time
[13:44] {Threei} if market established downtrend here, then this little bounce is perfect for entry
[13:44] {Threei} and if it changes, can keep much better stop

Jun 07 2010

Chart wise, this is double bottom play (area market in yellow). However, finding an entry was a challenge, as confirmation level would give us too wide stop. For entry we found a little "setup within a setup" - look at out entry point and stop level closer and you will see that it's a little setup by itself - now zoom out again and look at it from the point of view of a bigger chart formation, that same double bottom.
Overall, that was a day of invalidation - one setup after another would invalidate before triggering. We got a few nice trades but the day left a feeling if "could have been much more."
