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.

[10:15] {Threei} for the last few days pullbacks were deeper than we expected,

[10:16] {Threei} causing a lot of invalidations and rinses

[10:16] {Threei} so, I adjust, trying to place expectations at farther levels

[10:16] {nemo} and of course, market changes

[10:16] {jfjf64} thats correct

[10:16] {Threei} and we reach very few of them

[10:16] {nemo} you need to mask your thoughts

[10:17] {Threei} CIEN did drop to .50 for a nice bounce

[10:42] {Threei} "we averted economic collapse" - we will hear that for years to come

[10:43] {Threei} and will never know whether cure was worse than illness

[10:43] {Threei} - Confident Europeans want to maintain the currency union and leadership is committed to the resolution of problems

[10:44] {Threei} isn't it funny, markets are green and all our winning trades are on short side, if not count CIEN bounce

[10:44] {Threei} - Price of Gold reflects market uncertainty, signals sent are different from that of other commodities

[12:49] {Threei} BP is so dead...

[12:49] {jfjf64} guess not

[12:49] {Threei} 2 and half points drop

[12:49] {shorty} alright....ready

[12:49] {Threei} while market barely retreated from high

[12:52] {Threei} are you using market orders?

[12:52] {Les} no just slow to the chase

[12:53] {Threei} I don't get it

[12:53] {Threei} if you missed the trigger, why do you enter thatmuch higher?

[12:53] {Les} grabbed .07 and went for it. didn't wait for pullback

[12:55] {jfjf64} double bottom

[12:55] {Threei} that would be 32 recross wirth stop under .90

[12:56] {Threei} too fast to alert

[12:58] {Threei} not a long here

[12:59] {jfjf64} im thinkin short

[12:59] {Threei} about here... maybe

[12:59] {jfjf64} just thinkin

[13:00] {Les} vad lvs

[13:00] {Threei} either into bounce or let it go,

[13:00] {Threei} it drops so sharply into support, no way to platy breakdown

[13:00] {jfjf64} k

[13:01] {Threei} when I said about here it was .15

[13:01] {Threei} that was roughly an upper envelope

[13:01] {Threei} good sopt fo bounce short

[13:01] {Threei} with covering half into support .90

[13:14] {Threei} volatility can be a killer on it

[13:15] {nemo} SPY has that ramp up the 200 ma look

[13:15] {larisa} wynn, good hotel, staying there next time :)

[13:15] {nemo} longs might be coming back

[13:15] {Threei} but other than that, some consolidation followed by .50 break is tempting

[13:16] {larisa} I know, I just did not stay in Wynn

[13:16] {jfjf64} spa real nice

[13:16] {RonS} ...especially from a suite on the upper floors

[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

[13:18] {shorty} And then the white man comes Threei.

[13:18] {Threei} yeah

[13:19] {Threei} WYNN works like charm

[13:19] {jfjf64} lol

[13:19] {Threei} that's OK shorty, since my choice is at least 300 years ago, I'd manage to eat some of those too

[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

[13:20] {larisa} and break was not tempting enough

[13:21] {Threei} sigh

[13:21] {larisa} lol

[13:21] {jfjf64} structure les

[13:21] {Threei} you all find your own

[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

[13:25] {RonS} Sherman's Lagoon

[13:25] {nemo} It's like watchin walruses roll over on the sandbar

[13:38] {nemo} offfer rim .60!!!

[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

[13:39] {nemo} nevermind

[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

May 12 2010

Pulling teeth day. Started with couple missed trades that jumped over the trigger with no chance for entry; continued with couple stops; then 45 cents win on BIDU and 20 on BP turned day into slightly profitable. Then SY came where we caught perfect short entry and then proceeded to beat ourselves up for covering too soon - just couple dollars drop instead of 9-10. Oh well.

Session Time: Wed May 12 00:00:00 2010

[08:22] {strider} out BIDU+.80

[08:44] {Threei} is there probe or no?

[08:45] {strider} I'm sorry, that's all the time we have for questions.

[08:45] {Threei} I have a reason to believe it's morning

[09:57] {Threei} this is one of those things you need to observe for a while and get a gut feel for

[09:57] {Les} looks more like AIG moving, then fcx or X

[09:57] {Les} when aig moves fast

[10:16] {Threei} but retaining capital means cut down on loaning

[10:16] {Threei} and powers that be screamed on top odf their lungs demanding banks to loan

[10:26] {Threei} Senate bill that would prohibit "liar loans" and yield spread premiums now has enough votes to pass

[10:26] {Threei} why do you need specific bill forbidding liar loans?

[10:27] {Threei} do we also need a bill prohibiting murders?

[10:27] {Les} to permit other fraudulent loans to take its place

[10:28] {shorty} RonS, nice catch on AIG.
