Not really our day, what with low volume and slow creep-up, while everyone was jockeying for no position into long weekend. Uneven week with uneven end.

01[09:55] {&Threei}  originally no, but it behaved weirdly
01[09:55] {&Threei}  and FCX triggered, so I prefered to focus on a normal one

[10:52] {nemo} 49
[10:53] {dptl} heh was thinking .28 short CRM
[10:54] {nemo} If it were Les, I'd cancel my thought
[10:54] {Les} sure
[10:54] {Les} mushin baby
[10:55] {nemo} yes, but in your case it's literal
[10:55] {cipher} UL:TA stopped -.06
[10:55] {Alexs} trail stop on FCX?
[10:55] {Les} let's all be children and say "MIRROR!"
[10:56] {nemo} nah, you fill the quota just fine
[10:56] {nemo} ACN here might be short
[10:57] {nemo} size flashed at .35
[10:58] {nemo} acn holds .40 and drops .35 should be good to go
[10:59] {cipher} ULTA L.72
[11:00] {nemo} 1:1
[11:01] {nemo} so choppy today
[11:01] {nemo} drinking day
[11:01] {nemo} then again, what makes today different
[11:01] {jdetente} hear hear
[11:01] {Will49} second that
[11:01] {Les} l tza .42
[11:01] {nemo} on my third actually
[11:01] {Les} holding .30
[11:02] {nemo} 1:2
[11:02] {nemo} well coming
[11:02] {nemo} Les, this is a chopfest, I'd be real careful
[11:04] {cipher} LQDT L.87
[11:05] {nemo} ANF, not much for break outs today though
[11:05] {nemo} but, definitive buyer
[11:06] {nemo} worked
[11:07] {dptl} fcx trail to .51?
01[11:08] {&Threei}  .52 rather
[11:08] {dptl} k
[11:08] {nemo} Les, my opinion (and we know what that's worth ;-)) no marginal setups, be careful of breakouts and breakdown's today, short from resistance and buy at support unless a trend develops
01[11:08] {&Threei}  have you guys see this out of bounds print at .54?
[11:09] {nemo} must have been Les
[11:09] {dptl} yeah
[11:09] {Les} yeh
[11:09] {Alexs} no
01[11:09] {&Threei}  that's your answer why I don't like automated stops
01[11:09] {&Threei}  you don't have a tail reaching .54 at 11:08 candle alex?
[11:10] {Les} TZA stopped
[11:10] {Alexs} no
01[11:10] {&Threei}  weird
[11:10] {Alexs} its just in your system
01[11:10] {&Threei}  dp has it too
01[11:10] {&Threei}  and les
[11:11] {Will49} and me
[11:11] {cipher} out LQDT .07 +.20
[11:11] {jdetente} I don't see that either Vad
[11:12] {dptl} some systems has filters on those trades
[11:12] {nemo} pull in time
[11:13] {dptl} stoppes fcx
[11:13] {Alexs} I have TD  Ameritrade as well they don't have either
[11:14] {nemo} now anf might be long back to resistance at .85ish
[11:14] {nemo} iwm pivot at .45
[11:18] {Alexs} in lightspeed when u use customized stop u can use a filter to exclude wrong prints
[11:23] {Les} realised got my ass rinsed on TZA took it again .36 half out
01[11:23] {&Threei} Short Setup: SLW  .05 break
[11:27] {jdetente} alright SLW let's get something out of you
01[11:28] {&Threei}  seriously
[11:28] {Alexs} what stop slw?
[11:28] {jdetente} a 1:3 would be nice
[11:28] {dptl} what was the call?
[11:28] {jdetente} short breaking .05
01[11:28] {&Threei}  11:23] {&Threei} Short Setup: SLW .05 break
01[11:29] {&Threei}  well, .11 and .15 are equally valid by chart
01[11:29] {&Threei}  .11 has more chance of a rinse
01[11:29] {&Threei}  I prefer .15
[11:29] {dptl} you in?
[11:29] {jdetente} it triggered dp
[11:30] {Alexs} k
[11:30] {dptl} ok in .04
[11:30] {dptl} got disconected
[11:31] {Alexs} this is advantage of mibbit u can see previous chat
[11:32] {Alexs} after connection
[11:32] {nemo} WSM arguably a long here, but no momentum
01[11:32] {&Threei}  yeah, we tried to reproduce it in mirc, no luck
01[11:33] {&Threei}  it's a server software feature, it doesn't exist on the hosting server we use
[11:33] {Alexs} I like mibbit but the sound alerts
01[11:33] {&Threei}  mibbit introduces another server inbetween
01[11:33] {&Threei}  which means slower and another link to be broken in the chain
[11:33] {nemo} volume wsm
[11:34] {nemo} now that's a weird candle...perfectly neutral
[11:35] {dino} jive
[11:35] {nemo} was just gonna say that dino
[11:35] {Will49} jive?
[11:36] {dino} drop/pop
[11:36] {Les} 2h tza stopped
[11:36] {Les} chop chop
[11:36] {Will49} tks dino
[11:38] {dino} np
[11:38] {dino} sm .70 s
[11:39] {Alexs} it's time to intimidate SLW Vad
[11:39] {dptl} so .15 stop?
[11:40] {Les} c&h spy
01[11:41] {&Threei}  they don't seem to be afraid of me today, alex
01[11:41] {&Threei}  I might be losing my "scare'em edge"
[11:41] {Les} close enough to 1:2 ty Nemo WSM
[11:42] {Les} you see there is a kind caring heart in that rotten pit of a ribcage
01[11:42] {&Threei}  nemo faints
01[11:43] {&Threei}  suggeastion that he has kind caring heart beating in his chest makes him want to rip that chest open
[11:43] {cipher} +.25 WSM thx nemo
[11:45] {dino} cov jive .30, +.40
[11:46] {cipher} qcor l.22
01[11:48] {&Threei}  FB is getting heavy
[11:50] {Les} see it's losing its charm in daily
01[11:50] {&Threei}  yup
[11:52] {jdetente} yeah nice weekly chart hehe
[11:53] {jdetente} now if SLW would only cooperate and make this day a little brighter
[11:56] {dino} fl to .36
[11:56] {dino} out +.35
[12:01] {dino} global warming b.s. 50 degrees here and all thru weekend. should be averaging 75-80

01[12:04] {&Threei}  sorry Ron
01[12:04] {&Threei}  I'll try to call GOOG next time

In the interim, activities deemed necessary for environmental protection will continue as authorized. On April 18th there were rumors that the Chile interior ministry may be making overtures about a compromise on Pascua Lama Project.

[12:18] {nemo} les look at the channel
[12:18] {nemo} SPY probably has to get to pivot
[12:18] {nemo} that means IWM goes with it
[12:20] {jdetente} taking a drink break
[12:20] {Les} ok that'll be my last stand at the Alamo
[12:20] {RonS} SLW on Bloomberg, it's regarding Pascua-Lama
[12:21] {RonS} on stocktwits...SLW they have a provision in place to acquire stream ounces from other $ABX mines though, should be non-issue
01[12:21] {&Threei}  they are ABX's partner in that
01[12:21] {&Threei}  &*(%^#
01[12:22] {&Threei}  - Note: SLW is a partner with Barrick on the Pascua Lama project
[12:22] {RonS} According to a filing w Chile’s regulator, $ABX must spend $29M to meet environmental standards at Pascua Lama. http://stks.co/tE8t
[12:22] {Les} lol first time caught out on halt trading with Vad
[12:22] {Les} if you're lucky it sells off
[12:22] {Les} just thank the regulators for protecting you
[12:23] {RonS} ABX $16M fine on top of $29M it must spend to meet environmental standards. Ouch!
[12:23] {Alexs} is that a big money for them?
[12:25] {Les} spy just broke bottom of channel
[12:25] {nemo} not quite
[12:26] {nemo} imo

[14:32] {Les} hehe it's all in the mind
01[14:33] {&Threei}  it's not like you never had one, right?
[14:33] {Will49} aren't Russians supposed to be gloomy? :)

[14:37] {dptl} want to cover around .50
01[14:37] {&Threei}  OK, tell me when you are done with it, I want to offer you one mental experiment
[14:37] {dptl} k
[14:37] {Les} I'm trfing to find this setup, P...
01[14:38] {&Threei}  ?
01[14:39] {&Threei}  break of .80, nice cute DBI
[14:39] {Les} looking thru floor for your call
[14:39] {Les} must have missed it
[14:39] {Les} someones call
01[14:39] {&Threei}  it was dp's question
01[14:39] {&Threei}  [14:06] {dptl} P .80 short?
01[14:39] {&Threei}  [14:06] {&Threei} looks right
[14:48] {dptl} out p
[14:48] {dptl} ok Vad
01[14:48] {&Threei}  ok
01[14:49] {&Threei}  imagione a board, 2 ft wide, 30 ft long, lying flat on the ground
01[14:49] {&Threei}  can you walk it safely and confidently?
[14:49] {dptl} yes
01[14:50] {&Threei}  now, same board
01[14:50] {&Threei}  same width, same lenght,
01[14:50] {&Threei}  only now it's suspended in the air at the heigh of, say 500 ft
01[14:50] {&Threei}  can you walk it still?
[14:51] {dptl} well that would be much harder yes
01[14:51] {&Threei}  why?
01[14:51] {&Threei}  it's same board that you could walk with no troubles
01[14:51] {&Threei}  so we do know that its widt is enough for a person to be able to keep balance on
01[14:51] {&Threei}  and its length is not beyond this same person's capabilities
01[14:52] {&Threei}  so, why this simple tast suddenly becomes next too impossibleZ?
01[14:52] {&Threei}  task
[14:52] {dptl} the coast of mistake is much bigger
01[14:52] {&Threei}  right
01[14:52] {&Threei}  so?
01[14:52] {&Threei}  what's happening?
01[14:53] {&Threei}  I ask this because it's counter-intuitive:
01[14:53] {&Threei}  since cost of an error is so high, you should be expecially focused, attentive, careful, right?
01[14:53] {&Threei}  and if you could navigate it when it was nothing to worry about,
01[14:53] {&Threei}  then you should be able to do it even more confidently now that you know you need to focus?
01[14:54] {&Threei}  yet opposite happens
01[14:55] {&Threei}  any guess?
[14:55] {thomcbell} have a good weekend guys
[14:55] {Les} ciao tbell
01[14:55] {&Threei}  take care tbell, see you Tuesday
[14:55] {dptl} yes i see....i see what you mean....
01[14:56] {&Threei}  try to put it in words
01[14:56] {&Threei}  this is obviously self-sabotage in works,
01[14:56] {&Threei}  but I want you to see how exactly it works
[14:56] {nemo} now things look short
01[14:57] {&Threei}  so, try to explain it?
01[14:59] {&Threei}  want me to?
[15:00] {dptl} i am just so frastrated of being wrong so many times, its like i cant find my edge....as Dino would say.....sometimes i see set up and it looks good, but actually its not, and then someting i dont understand works....feels like i am stuck
01[15:00] {&Threei}  GLD 1:1
[15:00] {Les} wooohoooo
01[15:01] {&Threei}  you are back to techniques...
01[15:01] {&Threei}  I am talking about mindset and self-sabotage
01[15:01] {&Threei}  it's about what you are focused on
[15:01] {dptl} it seems like one comes from another
[15:01] {nemo} Do you have your setups written up, and it what markets they work and don't work?
[15:01] {Les} out gld ty
[15:01] {Les} omg gld
01[15:01] {&Threei}  woohooo
01[15:01] {&Threei}  out
[15:02] {Les} u scored
01[15:02] {&Threei}  1:4
01[15:02] {&Threei}  takes some bite off
[15:02] {nemo} crm looks short
01[15:02] {&Threei}  while that board was lying on the ground, you focused on what?
[15:02] {Alexs} day saver
01[15:02] {&Threei}  blue sky?
01[15:02] {&Threei}  green grass?
01[15:02] {&Threei}  butterflies?
01[15:02] {&Threei}  cute girl?
[15:02] {jdetente} hmmm I must've missed something
[15:02] {jdetente} didn't see that call
[15:03] {Les} lot of that goin round jd
01[15:03] {&Threei}  14:19] {Alexs} where is entry on GLD Vad?
01[15:03] {&Threei}  [14:20] {&Threei} I'd say .10
01[15:03] {&Threei}  as soon as danger became so prominent, you focused on that
[15:04] {nemo} wasn't an official call
01[15:04] {&Threei}  and your mind started cutting off everything else,
01[15:04] {&Threei}  leaving only the most dangerous developments in your field of attention
01[15:04] {&Threei}  your choices narrowed tho those only,
01[15:04] {&Threei}  and your actions followed.
01[15:05] {&Threei}  You focus on your losing days and trades so much, this is the only thing you see
01[15:05] {&Threei}  You take great day as nopthing, you never even acknowledge it
01[15:05] {&Threei}  but you can't srop talking and thinking about losing one
01[15:05] {&Threei}  This indicates where you focus
01[15:06] {&Threei}  and this narrows your chpices and actions to the field of losing actions
01[15:06] {&Threei}  you focus on them exclusively, you are drawn to them like magnet
01[15:06] {&Threei}  see what I am talking about?
[15:06] {dptl} hmm.. it feels like that yes
[15:07] {RonS} how can they open abx and not slw...
[15:07] {nemo} they did, so obviously they could
01[15:07] {&Threei}  have you ever seen a successful person in any field, being grim, moody, talkling doom-and-gloom?
01[15:07] {&Threei}  lol nemo
[15:09] {Alexs} economist Mark Faber
01[15:09] {&Threei}  is he grim about his success as economist?
[15:09] {nemo} all three indexes have the weekly pivots in range
01[15:09] {&Threei}  he is just a seller of doom and gloom

[15:29] {Les} but this is just too slow now

May 23 2013

Finishing the day in profit but bored to death - been a good while since market has been this slow. After yesterday's activity one would expect some follow-through... one would be wrong.

May 22 2013

Very good day for us despite sudden reversals triggered by Fed-speak, taper on/taper off musings and general nervousness. Got a few nice 1:3ers and other trades. Sharp drops in GLD, GDX etc are usually good to us as we are more inclined to short those.

01[10:29] {&Threei}  (US) Fed's Bernanke: Reiterates the Fed could or could not sell assets, will provide more information on exit strategy going forward over time - Q&A- Reiterates could normalize policy simply by letting assets 'roll off'
[10:30] {Will49} good guess Vad
[10:30] {nemo} well, that's not entirely true
[10:30] {nemo} if you continue purchase as they roll off, you don't shrink the balance sheet
01[10:30] {&Threei}  lettting them roll-off? questionable idea considering rates going up at some point
[10:31] {dino} stc swi calls 2.25, +.55/32%
[10:31] {Les} half out
01[10:31] {&Threei}  no nemo, he means letting them roll-off instead of selling them
01[10:31] {&Threei}  as alternative exit strategy

[14:37] {nemo} Weekly pivot 165.60 spy and 67.70 FAS
[14:37] {nemo} SPY gap a65.30ish to 165.70ish
[14:37] {+cc_9} every single green bar on SPY was a pause before more death
[14:37] {+cc_9} volume has not slowed either
[14:38] {nemo} frickin' melodramatic aren't we...
06[14:38] * Les slaps Nemo for cutting into the running commentary
[14:39] {Les} the tape image of everyone trying to get out the door at the same time. fascinating stuff
[14:40] {nemo} it's kinda like opening fire with an automatic weapon in a movie theatre
[14:40] {Les} sigh
[14:40] {dino} we really aren't down much, not even 1%
[14:40] {Les} the image works though
[14:40] {nemo} Yeah, this is a riot
[14:40] {nemo} Don't worry, in this bull market, it'll be back to new highs by Friday
[14:41] {_babyheart} from todays high... thats a huge sell off
[14:41] {Les} wouldn't surprise me if this market floats back to the top like a submerged corpse, but fun to watch the panic button hit
[14:41] {+cc_9} dino, you are right, but people are looking at the selloff from the session highs
[14:41] {_babyheart} a reversal candle stick on daily chart
[14:41] {+cc_9} which on the DOW comes up to over 200 points
[14:41] {dino} swi holds well thru this, going to add calls before close for swing
[14:42] {_babyheart} maybe all the retailers bought already...
[14:42] {Les} they're level of ownership is pretty low
[14:42] {Les} their
[14:43] {+cc_9} once stop losses get eaten, they will send it back up for another frenzy
[14:43] {dino} typical on bernie speech days
[14:44] {+cc_9} if they want more volume and to get stuckies back, they need 1 more bounce, near 167 then flush it back
01[14:45] {&Threei}  no go
[14:45] {Les} what was the setup?
01[14:46] {&Threei}  ?
[14:46] {Les} no go
[14:46] {Les} meaning?
01[14:46] {&Threei}  [14:31] {&Threei} Short Setup: GDX .30 break
[14:46] {Les} k
01[14:47] {&Threei}  do you have this scroll up utton?? :)
[14:47] {Les} yeh I did
[14:47] {Les} looked back ten minutes and then shrugged
[14:47] {Les} you know I've got memory of a goldfish
01[14:47] {&Threei}  use #floor
[14:47] {+cc_9} I am a goldfish and i find that comment raciss
01[14:47] {&Threei}  less scrolling
[14:47] {Les} oh, there it is
[14:48] {Les} A carp then
01[14:48] {&Threei}  and what kind of attitude is it... I am tired of scrolling, so I'll make someone else work {G}
[14:48] {+cc_9} sole*
[14:48] {+cc_9} IWM needs to play catch up here
[14:48] {Les} learnt from the best
[14:53] {+cc_9} "WizdomSeeker May. 22 at 2:52 PM $SPY Short all your money now, no joke look at that spikey line! couldn't be more obvious we already reached top...."
[14:53] {+cc_9} some late afternoon humor
[14:53] {+cc_9} Vad, can you help us setup the spikey line indicator when you have time
01[14:55] {&Threei}  spikey line?
01[14:56] {&Threei}  that's real wisdom he is seeking
[14:56] {Les} what is that cc? A tweet?
[14:56] {+cc_9} StockTwit daily cancer dose
01[14:57] {&Threei}  suicidal guys
[14:57] {+cc_9} IWM trying to catch up a bid ahead of the SPY finally
01[14:57] {&Threei}  I am watching them committing suicide for years already
[14:57] {dino} infi sm l .90
[14:57] {Les} silver futures red gold green definitely not risk on for metals
[14:59] {dino} miners up tho, gdx, slw, fcx, clf
[14:59] {Les} yeh big guns betting on the miners apparently
[15:00] {+cc_9} dino, add ABX to that list.
01[15:06] {&Threei}  I don't know if they can be too happy about being barely in green, after being up that much earlier
01[15:07] {&Threei}  GLD is teetering on the verge of losing major support and collapsing
01[15:07] {&Threei}  which will send miners down too
01[15:07] {&Threei}  and the very fact that their earlier gains could be swatted away that easy is not encouraging at all
[15:09] {dino} just saying miners holding. copper is up, its a metal
[15:10] {dino} copper is more of an economic tell imo
01[15:11] {&Threei}  much more than gold or silver, that's for sure :)
[15:11] {Les} yeh watching that one as it tried to break .40 in futures. will see if it was bull trap
01[15:12] {&Threei}  one chart I derive pure pleasure from is canadian buck
01[15:12] {&Threei}  down full cent today
[15:13] {dino} lol, and i hate to see the dollar rise
[15:13] {Les} tna inverted cup and handle
01[15:14] {&Threei} Short Setup: GLD  .50 break hl
01[15:14] {&Threei}  If holds  .60
[15:16] {Les} forgot that tza exists. cup and handle pays 1:1
[15:17] {jdetente} no joy GLD
01[15:18] {&Threei}  S&P 500 PLUNGES TO LEVELS NOT SEEN SINCE FRIDAY
01[15:18] {&Threei}  lol
[15:19] {Les} good one
[15:19] {dino} infi to b/e

01[15:28] {&Threei}  [13:55] {&Threei} unless FOMC minutes change the mood, more selling is in cards
[15:28] {thomcbell} yy
01[15:30] {&Threei}  Chatter circulating that recent weakness in equities is as a result of a 'sell program' initiated when S&P index yield reached 10 year note yield
01[15:30] {&Threei}  heh
01[15:30] {&Threei}  everyone needs a back story
[15:30] {Les} those damn pesky algo traders
[15:30] {nemo} I thought it was the chickens
01[15:33] {&Threei}  volume is up sharply today
[15:44] {+cc_9} baby bounce, no thanks

[15:46] {+cc_9} cc_9 guess : 166.66 for more devil signs
