Sept 18 2013

Another grind day where risk control was paramount. Most of trades were either half lot or 5 cents stop, and one even both. Slightly negative - those babies do put a fight to keep their candies.

01[10:25] {&Threei}  2:15
[10:27] {nemo} this weakness a bit unusual for fed day
[10:28] {fish_49} well Crude should tell us  a lot  If inventories down then production up?
[10:28] {fish_49} means good for economy  and could mean for sure taper faster  so it really is a mixed bag of nuts
[10:29] {dino} imo it only matters for a few minutes
[10:29] {RonS} if you can inerpret that dang oil report, you are a better man than me...
[10:29] {fish_49} you wont believe this  but on my chart I wraped lines around SLW .10 and .05 and said it should sky rocket from there
01[10:29] {&Threei}  (US) DOE CRUDE: -4.4M V -1ME

[10:41] {fish_49} at least someone talks to you
[10:41] {nemo} Oh, I got plenty of voices running around in my head
[10:42] {nemo} Frankly though, I prefer talking to myself.  Only person I know with whom I can have an intelligent conversation
[10:42] {Will49} you could get a job at the Navy Yard
[10:43] {nemo} jeezus, was that a CF...guy's been a nut job for years

[10:44] {Will49} CF?
[10:44] {nemo} gs weak, thatsa' no good
[10:45] {nemo} UNH got you written all over it Vad
[10:46] {fish_49} GS getting ready to form the second sholder
01[10:50] {&Threei}  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGiItcn4-mM
01[10:50] {&Threei}  we are so screwed
[10:50] {nemo} yeah, saw that
[10:52] {fish_49} Stop smiling Alex
01[10:52] {&Threei} Short Setup: UNH  73 break hl
01[10:53] {&Threei}  If holds  .10
[10:57] {Alexs} More than 350 economists have a signed a letter to President Obama calling on him to nominate Federal Reserve Vice Chair
[10:58] {drewj} vad I put in my order for 72.99 and when i hit short i immediately got filled at 73.03.  Do you know what i'm doing wrong?
01[10:58] {&Threei}  Yellen of course?
[10:58] {nemo} Dentists recommend Crest with fluoride 2 to 1
[10:58] {Alexs} yes
01[10:58] {&Threei}  drew... you asked to give you a short at the price not lower than .99
[10:58] {nemo} did you set it to limit order?
01[10:59] {&Threei}  you got filled at the current price
01[10:59] {&Threei}  this is not the right way to do it
01[11:00] {&Threei}  what you did should be done when break occurs
[11:00] {dino} maybe bid ask spread drew
01[11:00] {&Threei}  what you tried to do should be done as a stop order
[11:00] {drewj} no nemo I had i did't have it on limit
[11:01] {drewj} i see it now.  thanks
01[11:01] {&Threei}  don't do it, execute them manually when your price arrives
[11:01] {drewj} so should it be set to market?
01[11:01] {&Threei}  limit that you sent means "give me my shares at the price I indicated or better
[11:01] {nemo} if you are shorting and you set the short price below the current best bid best offer, you're basically going to get the market
01[11:01] {&Threei}  you got beter since it was available
01[11:02] {&Threei}  no
[11:02] {Alexs} where did they find so many economists?
01[11:02] {&Threei}  market has nothing to do with it
01[11:02] {&Threei}  you sent your order befiore trigger
[11:02] {dino} thats what i was thinking nemo
01[11:02] {&Threei}  that's all
[11:02] {nemo} mon
[11:02] {drewj} ?
[11:03] {fish_49} Drew are you paper trading today?
[11:03] {drewj} no
[11:03] {drewj} i wish
01[11:03] {&Threei}  you want .99
[11:03] {nemo} basically you told the market you were willing to sell your stock lower then the current market price
01[11:03] {&Threei}  you want it after break of support
[11:03] {fish_49} how many shares did u get filled?
[11:03] {drewj} 400
01[11:03] {&Threei}  you sent it BEFORE tha break of support
01[11:03] {&Threei}  why?
01[11:03] {&Threei}  see what I mean?
[11:04] {nemo} Les syndrome-READY, FIRE!  AIM
[11:04] {dino} i think the problem is he's already in at .03. manually enter the shorts drew. as for now, get the f out of it
[11:04] {drewj} i just sold at a better than market price
01[11:04] {&Threei}  hmm?
[11:04] {nemo} keep the sharp objects away from him
[11:04] {drewj} i already got out...
01[11:04] {&Threei}  you sold it at the price available at the time
[11:04] {dino} sh*t happens drew, react to it, don't think
01[11:05] {&Threei}  drew, stop and re read what I said above
01[11:05] {&Threei}  you want to be in after the breakdown
[11:05] {drewj} no i understand now.
[11:05] {Alexs} you can blame Vad for all that shit
01[11:05] {&Threei}  why are you entering your order before the breakdown?
01[11:06] {&Threei}  of course you are getting filled before trigger actually occurs
[11:06] {fish_49} I didn't hear Alex asking you to share your loss
[11:06] {drewj} i just thought of it as putting in the price i wanted to sell at.
[11:06] {drewj} i normally enter them manually
[11:06] {jdetente} the only way that would work is with a stop order
[11:06] {jdetente} but you don't really want to do that either
[11:07] {drewj} right
[11:07] {drewj} why not.
[11:07] {drewj} ?
01[11:07] {&Threei}  leave that aside for now
[11:07] {jdetente} because you could get filled when the price doesn't make a real break
01[11:07] {&Threei}  just learn the basics
[11:07] {dino} because they slip
[11:08] {drewj} ok
[11:08] {drewj} oh
[11:08] {fish_49} Drew  I don't want to add water to the ice  but  also look at the call?  hl  means half lot
[11:08] {drewj} missed that
[11:15] {dino} rkt sm l .62 ave
[11:18] {RonS} jazz blood
[11:18] {fish_49} dino your target .29?
[11:19] {jdetente} is that a later period Miles Davis record?
[11:19] {jdetente} Jazz Blood/Jazz Fusion
01[11:20] {&Threei} Long Setup:  JPM  .90 break
01[11:20] {&Threei}  If holds  .85
01[11:23] {&Threei}  two-sided
[11:25] {jdetente} Long it is...
[11:25] {jdetente} (insert joke here)
[11:25] {drewj} i feel like i should start praying for these trades now
01[11:26] {&Threei}  - Global markets have been choppy heading into the big Fed announcement today, without racking up any big gains or losses. US equities were looking flattish heading into the session, but have taken a turn into the red as GOP stonewalling in Washington on a budget extension continues
01[11:26] {&Threei}  drew... back off a bit
01[11:26] {&Threei}  you are too tense and nervous
[11:26] {drewj} should i stop for the day?
01[11:26] {&Threei}  there is nothing to be this intense about
[11:26] {drewj} cause i am stressed
01[11:27] {&Threei}  why don't you observe and paper trade
01[11:27] {&Threei}  until stress subsides
[11:27] {drewj} so all the jokes about drinking while trading are not actually jokes
01[11:27] {&Threei}  meanwhile, ask yourself what it is you are stressing about
[11:27] {drewj} i already know
[11:28] {fish_49} Money?
[11:28] {drewj} i'm worried about blowing up my account
[11:28] {fish_49} right now if your in that trade  u should focus on it
01[11:29] {&Threei}  you can't trade successfully in sich mental state and with this ficus
01[11:29] {&Threei}  focus too
[11:30] {drewj} all the stopped trades are stressing me out
01[11:30] {&Threei}  how about all the winning trades?
01[11:30] {&Threei}  do you have expectations of trading without stops?
[11:30] {drewj} since i upped my share size to 400 there have been a lot of stopped trades.
[11:31] {dino} fish vwap 113.50s
[11:31] {fish_49} on Spy?
[11:31] {RonS} rkt
[11:32] {dino} rkt fish
[11:32] {dino} drew, with respect..., take a half hour walk. clear your head. start over
01[11:32] {&Threei}  drew... as I said, back off and restore your calm. You can't be this intense about 5 cent stops
01[11:33] {&Threei}  stops are a part of trading
[11:33] {drewj} it's fine dino.
01[11:33] {&Threei}  they are not bad, they don't indicate that something is wrong
[11:33] {drewj} it's my son's birthday and we have a party to get ready for.
[11:33] {drewj} i'll probably just finish out this trade.
01[11:33] {&Threei}  they are as inalieble part of trading as nigh a part of the day cycle
[11:34] {fish_49} have a great Party Drew  See you tomorrow Bro
[11:34] {drewj} thanks fish.
01[11:34] {&Threei}  or snow a part of life in Winnipeg
[11:34] {jdetente} keep your chin up drew
[11:34] {dino} enjoy the party
[11:34] {drewj} i recognize that vad.  just hard feeling helpless.
01[11:35] {&Threei}  you are not helpless
01[11:35] {&Threei}  you are in control of what mattters the most
01[11:35] {&Threei}  your own action
01[11:35] {&Threei}  when swimming, you are no in control of waves and currents,
01[11:35] {&Threei}  but you are not helpless since you control where and how you swim.
01[11:35] {&Threei}  samme thing here
01[11:36] {&Threei}  you can't control market but you can control what you are doing in it
[11:36] {drewj} right
01[11:36] {&Threei}  and to continue ocean analogy,
[11:36] {drewj} i feel like nemo should be singing 'just keep swimming'
01[11:36] {&Threei}  you detect the currents and swim along
[11:36] {nemo} yeah, here's a cement life preserver
01[11:36] {&Threei}  and if you made an error otr if a current changed,
01[11:37] {&Threei}  you swim out of it and look for another
[11:37] {dino} if 1000 shares stresses you, trade smaller, i do
[11:37] {drewj} i only use 400 now
01[11:37] {&Threei}  so,
[11:37] {jdetente} keep in my mind also Drew that the last couple of days have been unique
[11:37] {fish_49} and how long have you been trading?
[11:38] {jdetente} they will not last forever
[11:38] {nemo} what could be more stressful than marrying the wrong woman
[11:38] {dino} "only" that's what i mainly trade
[11:38] {nemo} and we all marry te wrong woman
01[11:38] {&Threei}  if a current indicated by JPM setup continues, it will deliver you to the point you want to get to.
[11:38] {drewj} funny nemo
01[11:38] {&Threei}  if not, you will change the current
[11:38] {drewj} i get the water analogy...
01[11:39] {&Threei}  I disagree nemo
[11:39] {fish_49} Drew how long have you been trading?
01[11:39] {&Threei}  I married the right one... if she puts up with me for this long
[11:39] {drewj} full time...
[11:39] {drewj} 8 days
[11:39] {nemo} ahhh, Vad...
[11:39] {RonS} same here 3i...
[11:39] {nemo} what number wife are you on?
01[11:39] {&Threei}  #1
[11:39] {nemo} thought it was #2
[11:40] {drewj} me too on the wife thing
01[11:40] {&Threei}  no
[11:40] {nemo} whoa
[11:40] {RonS} known mine since 16...
[11:40] {fish_49} Vad the pic you posted in which I commented Nice Cup and handle  was that your wife?
[11:40] {fish_49} if so I didn't mean anything bad about it
[11:40] {jdetente} haha
01[11:40] {&Threei}  didn't take it as anything bad :)
[11:40] {fish_49} goood
[11:41] {nemo} me, he takes as bad
01[11:41] {&Threei}  isn't it how you like it?
[11:41] {nemo} I'm sensitive
01[11:41] {&Threei}  good to know
[11:41] {nemo} think ron just fell off his chair
01[11:41] {&Threei}  I am double my effort then :)
[11:41] {RonS} yes you are...bunny spilled the beans long ago...
[11:42] {nemo} not sure where she is at the moment
[11:42] {dino} 8 days drew....you must chill out or you will not be here. remain calm. don't think, just react. don't overtrade. discipline trumps conviction. never let opinions get in way of making $. what do you believe that isn't true?
[11:42] {nemo} this seems to be unusual weakness for a Fed day
[11:42] {RonS} is your father digging in the back yard?
[11:43] {nemo} nah, couldn't do it...all he can do to carry his oxygen bottle
[11:43] {drewj} dino what do you mean about what isn't true?
[11:43] {nemo} Just gave me an idea
[11:44] {nemo} Get a clear line of site from far enough away 30-06 through the bottle
[11:44] {nemo} shrapnel and no bullet wound
[11:44] {dino} just because you think something does not make it right. can be applied to lots of things in life (stocks, religion, etc). you must see thru it
[11:45] {drewj} so doubt then..
[11:45] {RonS} out rkt .98 from .46ave +.52
[11:45] {fish_49} Drew you said 8 days  live trading  ...  How long paper trading?
[11:45] {drewj} i've been in contact with vad for almost two years.
[11:46] {RonS} look out...
[11:46] {fish_49} but how long paper trading?
[11:46] {drewj} i've paper traded longer time frames as my former job allowed.
[11:46] {nemo} drawing a blank
[11:46] {RonS} lol
[11:46] {RonS} rotflol
[11:46] {drewj} never really able to paper trade on day time frame
[11:46] {nemo} boy first fastball down the middle I've missed in a long time
[11:46] {dino} no. example: brokers raising price targets, does not always work. ex: my god better than yours junk. ex: higher rates kill economy. ex: good earnings should make stock go up (not always). just get over what you think if its not true
[11:47] {RonS} crying here....
[11:48] {drewj} so more you're saying to unlearn the common bs
[11:48] {dino} YES
[11:49] {RonS} agee...learn that "only price pays"
[11:49] {dino} exactly ron.
[11:50] {fish_49} but really you don't need to know  what the market is going to do  or what any stock is going to do  for now..  Just follow the trade Vad puts up
[11:50] {drewj} i was just having a conversation with a friend yesterday who was trying to talk me out of price being the most important thing.
[11:50] {Will49} to the letter
[11:50] {fish_49} go back to paper trading on the sim offered by your broker and practice order entry
[11:50] {Will49} follow Vad trades to the letter
[11:50] {drewj} it sounded like he had learned everything from CNBC
[11:50] {dino} price is the only thing that matters to a daytrader
01[11:50] {&Threei}  unfriend him asap, drew
[11:51] {RonS} ya, cnbc is death...
01[11:51] {&Threei}  he has zero idea about trading
01[11:51] {&Threei}  which is fine, most people do,
01[11:51] {&Threei}  but he is vocal
[11:51] {nemo} cnbc...haven't watched that in years
01[11:51] {&Threei}  thus dangerous
[11:51] {dino} cnbc is not allowed in my office. only music
[11:52] {+cc_9} dino, although I agree with you
[11:52] {drewj} actually it helped me move on...i knew he was wrong.
[11:52] {dino} just because somebody says something is true does not make it true
[11:52] {nemo} actions vs words
[11:52] {+cc_9} its good to have some type of "news" system such as "Fly" or w/e works so in case something crazy happens, u can read/hear why it did
[11:52] {drewj} like everything nemo says
[11:52] {dino} so of like, just because you're loud doesn't make you right
[11:52] {nemo} run...don't walk to the psychiatric hospital
[11:53] {drewj} i have ransquak
[11:53] {+cc_9} say you see JPM tank bc of a $2B fine, they say it live on Bloomberg, but it takes you more time to find out why bc you only watch price
[11:53] {RonS} what is it?
[11:53] {+cc_9} Fly On The Wall is a decent service
[11:53] {nemo} Renfield
[11:54] {dino} cc9 i agree. but only to limited extent.
[11:54] {+cc_9} yes, but limited extent sometimes can cost you a couple grand
[11:54] {drewj} and benzinga
[11:54] {RonS} finding that stocktwits is faster than anything...
[11:54] {+cc_9} benzinga is meh, Fly is way better
[11:54] {+cc_9} stocktwits gets info from places like Fly
[11:54] {+cc_9} its just another layer
[11:54] {dino} st smart has it on each stock, i use it when capits/euphoria hit, but ulimately it is price
[11:54] {RonS} ya true
[11:55] {RonS} cc
[11:55] {+cc_9} Any stock that makes a fart, the guy from Fly announces it live, no commercials, no bs, no nonsense, only what matters.
[11:56] {drewj} ok.  only price.
[11:56] {dino} ron, you still hanging w/me on rkt?
[11:56] {drewj} thanks all.  have a good one.
[11:56] {Will49} cheers drew
[11:56] {RonS} nah, bailed at .98
01[11:56] {&Threei}  what about JPM?
[11:56] {fish_49} have fun drew
[11:57] {fish_49} Dino I didn't get in the trade but watching it cheering you on
[11:58] {dino} thx
[11:58] {dino} tw spike
[11:59] {RonS} thing that struck me on rkt was that selloff w/ no block volume...
[11:59] {fish_49} I have 2 numbers in mind for RKT   .71 and 114.02
[11:59] {Alexs} fish did you get your 4 cents on  JPM?
01[12:00] {&Threei}  careful fish, alex is looking for his share
[12:00] {fish_49} we have not stopped out of JPM
[12:00] {fish_49} but if I stop out  I will give you your share
[12:01] {Alexs} it won't be fair share

01[12:51] {&Threei}  (US) White House press Sec: Some republicans in the House of Reps actually embrace the idea of a Govt shutdown- Republicans are moving away from a compromise in their latest proposals over the debt limit
[12:51] {nemo} this has never worked, wtf
[12:51] {nemo} I consider myself conservative, but they're out to lunch
01[12:51] {&Threei}  (US) House of Reps GOP members indicate the stop gap funding bill offered will seek to 'prioritize' treasury payments in such circumstance of a default on debt
01[12:52] {&Threei}  they are... have been for a long time
[12:52] {nemo} Where's Beria when you need him

[13:12] {nemo} Did Les move to Sweden?  http://www.thelocal.se/50214/20130912/
[13:13] {jdetente} that's his form of diplomacy
[13:13] {nemo} jeez...not bad
[13:14] {jdetente} they say he's going to the People's Republic of Massachussetts next
01[13:14] {&Threei}  (US) Preview: FOMC rate decision to be released at 14:00ET; Fed economic forecast at 14:00ET; Bernanke press conf at 14:30ETFOMC Statement The consensus expectation is that the Fed has seen enough cumulative progress in the jobs market to justify beginning QE tapering today, starting with a relatively modest amount, on the order of $10-15B reduction. This relatively small amount of tapering is expected to get the ball rolling on the QE wind down that the Fed has indicated will likely end by mid-2014 based on its central economic forecast, though given inflation readings remains uncomfortably low, the Fed will not likely get any more aggressive than this today.
[13:14] {nemo} he'd fit right in
01[13:15] {&Threei}  The small scale of the tapering expected today may be largely factored in already and could be more constructive for financial markets than another delay, since that would just maintain the focus on the inevitable start of tapering process. Most analysts also expect the Fed to ease the impact of tapering by reemphasizing its forward guidance, that it will maintain low rates "at least as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6-1/2 percent," and that this is not a trigger but a threshold, so they could wait to move rates well after unemployment falls below 6.5%.
01[13:17] {&Threei}  JPM... sigh
[13:17] {jdetente} so these days are transition wouldn't you say Vad?
[13:17] {jdetente} market change
01[13:17] {&Threei}  not clear yet
01[13:18] {&Threei}  could just be couple days around FOMC
01[13:18] {&Threei}  and back to norm after that
[13:18] {jdetente} yeah
[13:18] {nemo} wow, gdx
01[13:18] {&Threei}  why did all the crap suddenly spike?
01[13:18] {&Threei}  no news
[13:18] {Alexs} what fly says cc?
01[13:20] {&Threei}  nothing
01[13:20] {&Threei}  if it didm it would already be on twitter
01[13:21] {&Threei}  the preview I posted is the only thing of note of the last 20 min, but it's specific to my news source
01[13:21] {&Threei}  they have a trial, give them a shot
[13:22] {nemo} what about Les in Sweden?
[13:22] {nemo} that was noteworthy
01[13:22] {&Threei}  voice, alerts, analysis, all that crap
[13:27] {nemo} frickin' finnies, wow
[13:29] {fish_49} Nemo do you trade the Q's?
[13:29] {nemo} no
[13:35] {dino} blue spike
[13:35] {Alexs} you are too serious today Vad, just wanted to talk to cc
01[13:36] {&Threei}  I am always serious
[13:37] {nemo} sometimes he's seriously drunk
[13:37] {jdetente} sometimes?
01[13:37] {&Threei}  been a good while since I did that :)
[13:37] {jdetente} I thought that was secret to good trading
01[13:38] {&Threei}  remembering some of escapades of youth makes me wonder how human being can survive that al all
[13:38] {Will49} amen Vad
[13:38] {nemo} yeah, no kidding
[13:38] {fish_49} glad you did
01[13:39] {&Threei}  me too, lol
[13:39] {Will49} I knew you weren't referring to nemo
01[13:39] {&Threei}  if I tried to pour 1/3 of that in myself today, I'd be dead long before morning, lol
[13:39] {nemo} how do we know the other side isn't better?
01[13:40] {&Threei}  remember that bartender on the boat in Bahamas, nemo?
[13:40] {nemo} vaguely, pretty cute if I remember
[13:41] {nemo} walked into the frickin' wall when I got back to my room
01[13:41] {&Threei}  nodding with great respect and approval when I came to hikm for the third refresh of vodka shot in one hand and bahama-mama coctai,l in another, to whash it down with
[13:41] {nemo} there was a bar on the lower deck too
01[13:41] {&Threei}  that's what I mean
[13:41] {nemo} ahhh
[13:42] {fish_49} Now we know the real nemo
01[13:42] {&Threei}  on upper desk you were stepping on top of tabl,es to get another glass of vodka
[13:42] {fish_49} he said the Him (Bartender) was cute
01[13:42] {&Threei}  you've no idea fish
[13:42] {nemo} there was a cute one, I can't remember if she was at the upstairs or downstairs bar
[13:42] {fish_49} If it was a he and nemo found him cute  I don't wanna  know
[13:42] {fish_49} lol
01[13:42] {&Threei}  tables were placed in a way that prevented you frpm getting out of your place easily
[13:42] {nemo} yeah, too many frickin people to go around at the table
[13:42] {nemo} it was easier to climb over
01[13:43] {&Threei}  and we ran out of vodka
[13:43] {fish_49} on a boat?
01[13:43] {&Threei}  yes
[13:43] {jdetente} that's a disaster
01[13:43] {&Threei}  I have a photo somewhere...
[13:44] {nemo} oh yeah
[13:44] {nemo} that cute chinese chick was talking to me
[13:44] {nemo} her husband was not happy
[13:45] {nemo} I actually told her to talk to her husband
[13:45] {Alexs} to get a permission
01[13:46] {&Threei}  cutest thing was, I had a whole day speaking gig next day
[13:46] {nemo} no, to avoid the potential for a scene, I could smell it coming
[13:46] {Will49} I used to be able to smell it coming too
01[13:46] {&Threei}  lol
[13:46] {Will49} what?
[13:46] {fish_49} on a boat  and Nemo not a good swimmer like me

[13:48] {nemo} Now basically limited to 12 or 16 oz curls
[13:48] {Will49} I heard you were a frickin piece of work
[13:48] {nemo} yeah, and not in a good way
[13:50] {fish_49} swimming is so difficult for me
[13:50] {nemo} o.k., I'll bite...why?
[13:50] {fish_49} when I took lessons  I was running 6 miles a day was in the best shape of my life  and could not swim one lap
[13:51] {fish_49} could never get my breathing right
[13:51] {Will49} nemo...I heard that you bite
[13:51] {nemo} mmmmhhhh, just not your thing, huh
[13:51] {nemo} if need be Will
[13:51] {fish_49} I want to get into it  as I'm getting older  running is not an option  on my knees
[13:52] {nemo} Yeah, I gave up running in my early 30's exactly for that reason
01[13:52] {&Threei}  found the photo
[13:52] {fish_49} I'm at the gym every morning and want to give it a try again but the ladies sitting on those chairs  are hot  and don't want to look like a fool in front of them
[13:52] {fish_49} lol
01[13:52] {&Threei}  on it you will seeL

01[15:01] {&Threei}  still hl
01[15:05] {&Threei}  If holds  .67
[15:05] {dino} getting a bit overdone
[15:05] {dino} adding sds calls
[15:10] {fish_49} I still don't get it...  the economy is still bad so we print more money and the market goes up?  When do we pay for all the debt?
01[15:10] {&Threei}  market is QE addict
01[15:11] {&Threei}  money is poured in, market devours it
[15:11] {fish_49} is this not a bubble like the housing bubble?
01[15:11] {&Threei}  where else money can go if not in the market
01[15:11] {&Threei}  it is
01[15:11] {&Threei}  idiots think they pour money in the economy, and jobs will be created
01[15:11] {&Threei}  uhhu
[15:11] {fish_49} in my bank account if you don't have any other place  to put it
01[15:12] {&Threei}  see how they consistently repeat the mantra about connection between their purchases and unemployment
01[15:12] {&Threei}  even though it's fairly obvious there is none
[15:14] {Will49} key players doing everything to keep wheels on until they "get theirs" then they bail and we're left holding bag
[15:15] {Will49} or with a wagon with no wheels...to complete the mataphor
[15:15] {fish_49} if unemployment is the threshold  then why not give tax breaks to business so they can hire more people  use the money printed every month to spend on tax breaks for business
[15:15] {fish_49} Why does it seem so easy
[15:15] {dino} their hope is that the stock markets create a wealth effect which trickles down to real estate and risk taking businesses
[15:15] {Will49} hope!!!!!
[15:15] {dino} it should be that easy fish, but politics gets in the way
[15:15] {fish_49} it does create wealth for a small percent
[15:16] {dino} indeed, we are part of that
[15:16] {Alexs} lol
[15:17] {dino} obummer cannot give tax breaks because it would destroy his party's dogma. tax breaks work, but they don't want to admit the truth. again, what do you believe that isn't true. dems need to ask that
[15:17] {fish_49} correct but the way I understand their method to madness is that the market makes wealth by putting money in retirement plans  but  retirement plans are becoming a thing of the past
[15:18] {fish_49} so I guess we really should share with Alex
[15:18] {dino} you are overthinking it. market $ creates wealth effect. wealthy start spending. spending, in theory should create jobs
[15:19] {dino} high taxes stop the expected spending
[15:19] {Will49} in theory!!!!!
[15:19] {dino} even clinton understood lower capital gains creates wealth, jobs, etc
[15:20] {fish_49} did he say 6.5  was the magic number on unemployment rate?
[15:20] {Will49} who was it that said "problems can't be solved by the same people who created the problems"?
[15:20] {dino} basically
[15:20] {fish_49} good point Will
[15:21] {fish_49} I guess there is truth in the quote  "A government big enough to give you what you need is big enough to take everything away from you"  or something like that
[15:21] {fish_49} Die LVS  I nned  to make money  so I can spend  and then there will be jobs
[15:21] {Will49} evn a small government is a little too big
[15:22] {dino} i still believe its a democrat conspiracy. keep people on welfare and assisstance so that they keep voting you in. they destroy generation after generation just for votes
[15:22] {dino} soon they will have it locked up
01[15:22] {&Threei}  it's just a part of a consipracy dino
01[15:22] {&Threei}  here is second part:
[15:22] {Will49} not much time left now
01[15:23] {&Threei}  borrtow, borrow and borrow, with no intention to repay, ever,
01[15:23] {&Threei}  and conasider it a wealth transfer
[15:23] {fish_49} that is what scares me
01[15:23] {&Threei}  you borrow from those who have money and fund social prograns for those who don't - that's how they see it
[15:23] {fish_49} the one thing is, if the poor keep getting poorer  will they vote your party in next election?
[15:24] {dino} i agree no intention of repaying...i think they hope to inflate it away
01[15:24] {&Threei}  thus far, worked for them
01[15:24] {&Threei}  and inflation is aligned with thei ideology as well, since ot robs those who have money in favor of those who have debts only
01[15:25] {&Threei}  that's why they have no fear of growing debt
[15:25] {dino} fish, are the poor getting poorer? cell phones, apartments, food stamps at record level, free education, free busing, free cars in some cases, etc. have a few kids, we pay even more
[15:25] {Will49} the electorate is getting dumber
[15:25] {dino} yes
[15:26] {fish_49} I agree but when will the rubber band snap
[15:26] {fish_49} pisses me off
[15:26] {Will49} don't hold your feelings back fish
[15:26] {dino} dumber, yes. just ask the muslims about keeping the population uneducated. easy to control
01[15:27] {&Threei}  let's cover half here
[15:28] {dino} why do you think standardized tests are getting easier. obummer just relaxed the no kid left behind requirements. dumb them down, get them dependent, you've got the votes for life
[15:28] {Will49} amen
01[15:28] {&Threei}  "sign the petition for karl Marx as our next president"
[15:28] {jdetente} stop at .66?
01[15:28] {&Threei}  .61 now
[15:28] {fish_49} my stop moved to .50  I will hold on
01[15:29] {&Threei}  1:1

Sept 17 2013

Babies got to keep their candies today. Not that we didn't get nice wins, but stops outweighed them in low volume narrow market full of rinses. Market is really biding its time waiting for tomorrow's "taper - no taper" decision.

01[10:04] {&Threei}  is = if
[10:07] {+cc_9} 35M shares, nothing but a fade, quite absurd

01[11:00] {&Threei}  stop to .16
[11:00] {Will49} knew a girl once who was slow and narrow

01[11:01] {&Threei}  if holds .44
[11:01] {nemo} I like stories
[11:01] {drewj} stop on c to 51?
01[11:01] {&Threei}  .10
01[11:02] {&Threei}  51 was 1:1
01[11:02] {&Threei}  .10 is b/e
[11:02] {Alexs} .11?
[11:02] {drewj} ok
01[11:02] {&Threei}  right
[11:02] {drewj} 1:2 at .90?
01[11:02] {&Threei}  right
[11:02] {jdetente} yes
01[11:03] {&Threei}  I just got a delegation from babies
[11:03] {drewj} anybody thinking here?
[11:03] {fish_49} gotta run  take care all.
[11:03] {jdetente} see ya fish
[11:03] {drewj} bye fish
[11:03] {nemo} must be tough to do on fins
[11:03] {Will49} see ya Fish
01[11:03] {&Threei}  take care fish
01[11:03] {&Threei}  they send a plea to leave them some candies

01[11:03] {&Threei}  apologized for the morning attempt to rebel
[11:03] {Alexs} fair share fish
[11:10] {robbers} Nice call on C, Vad, I'm out now.
01[11:11] {&Threei}  :)
[11:11] {nemo} the brownnosers around here, sheesh
[11:13] {Will49} hope they have some preparation X at hand
[11:13] {Will49} ?what does that even mean?
[11:17] {nemo} Preparation H?
[11:17] {Will49} yeah...that's it
01[11:17] {&Threei} Long Setup:  FCX  .50 break
[11:17] {drewj} nice one will.
01[11:17] {&Threei}  If holds  .45
[11:20] {drewj} is it right to move stop down on c?
01[11:21] {&Threei}  .08, if that's crucial
[11:23] {drewj} fcx still valid?
01[11:25] {&Threei}  nah
01[11:25] {&Threei}  lost drive
[11:26] {drewj} so c stop is .10 or .11 ?
01[11:28] {&Threei}  .10 is resistance
01[11:28] {&Threei}  break of it signifies stop
01[11:28] {&Threei}  break occurs when it trades at .11
[11:28] {drewj} so a print of .11 is the stop
01[11:28] {&Threei}  right
[11:29] {drewj} out
[11:30] {drewj} but i actually added a little capital
[11:30] {drewj} question...
[11:30] {+cc_9} MSFT flat lining since 11:07AM
[11:31] {drewj} c got down to .94 and i almost took it...
[11:31] {drewj} but instead i stayed in according to SOP...
01[11:31] {&Threei}  good
[11:32] {drewj} so the question is will i be more profitable over time if
[11:32] {drewj} I follow the plan to a T
[11:32] {drewj} or
[11:32] {drewj} if I grab it when it's good
01[11:32] {&Threei}  the most [rofitable way is to follow SOP in most cases and devioate from it when market conditions dictate it
[11:32] {jdetente} the former
[11:32] {drewj} understand?
01[11:32] {&Threei}  while there are cases where deviation is recommended, let's learn following SOP first
01[11:33] {&Threei}  when you have it down cold, we can make next step
[11:33] {drewj} that has been one of my problems...I've been deviating way too early.
[11:33] {drewj} got you...and I do feel better.
01[11:33] {&Threei}  before you introduce your variation to the theme, you learn theme itself :)
[11:33] {drewj} understood.
[11:36] {drewj} thanks
[11:37] {Will49} Vad...would a market variation be to simply scalp the rest of the day?
01[11:37] {&Threei}  if this slow swamp continues, certainly
[11:37] {Will49} tks
01[11:38] {&Threei}  if some event breaks this monotonous slow trading, it may change
[11:41] {drewj} so what does that mean as far as SOP?
01[11:41] {&Threei}  taking full scalp around 1:1
[11:41] {nemo} glue your hands to the chair
[11:41] {drewj} ha...
01[11:41] {&Threei}  usually recommended during lunch time
01[11:42] {&Threei}  nd today whole day is like lunch, lol
[11:43] {+cc_9} SOHU dumping

[11:50] {jdetente} alright time for a little Jameson in my coffee
[11:50] {+cc_9} MSFT 1 hour to bounce 0.20. 3 minutes to give it all back.
[11:50] {+cc_9} SOHU looks more active
[11:50] {nemo} put a frickin' stake in it
[11:52] {+cc_9} SOHU first dead cat bounce was worth $1.00
[11:52] {+cc_9} Lets see what it gets on this one

[12:10] {+cc_9} Is it gonna be one of those "ill get to the tgt price @ the ask then ill fade back to LOD so you don't get what you want" kind of trade ?
[12:11] {nemo} given time of day it may fade back to a IH&S or C&H, but it'll depend on how weak the indexes are a little later
[12:11] {RonS} hate it when I miss an exit by 1 or 2 cents...infuriating
[12:12] {+cc_9} SPY has been unchanged since 9:50AM
[12:12] {+cc_9} Ron, yes, worst feeling
[12:12] {nemo} life is a series of proverbial pubic hairs Ron
[12:12] {+cc_9} You set your limit exit and you can almost see it print @ the offer, the bid drops and you get stuck holding

[12:28] {jdetente} bad kitty
[12:28] {jdetente} you're supposed to die
[12:28] {+cc_9} SOHU closing in on $69. $1.50 reversal thus far
[12:32] {jdetente} SoMG!
01[12:33] {&Threei}  sheeesh
[12:33] {+cc_9} And there she goes, SOHU } $69
01[12:33] {&Threei}  that's a degree of evil and treacherousness even nemo couldn't fathim
[12:33] {+cc_9} nice and clean reversal, took some time, but can't complain.
01[12:35] {&Threei}  I van't believe this
01[12:35] {&Threei}  can't
01[12:35] {&Threei} Short Setup: C  .90 break
01[12:35] {&Threei}  it's those vindictive babies, I am sure
[12:36] {+cc_9} Piers Morgan aka Tears Morgan went on TV yesterday working hard on the AR-15 ban
[12:36] {jdetente} of course he did...
[12:36] {+cc_9} Because thanks to CNN's reporting, it was stated that the shooter used an AR-15
[12:36] {+cc_9} only to know that today, he did not actually have an AR-15
[12:36] {+cc_9} rather just handgun and shotgun
01[12:37] {&Threei}  can we send him back to UK?
[12:37] {drewj} so is it all out at .80?
[12:37] {jdetente} they won't have him back
[12:37] {+cc_9} If by the UK you mean tie him up, stick his feet in a bucket of cement then dumping him 500 miles off shore, yes.
[12:37] {jdetente} payback for rebelling back in teh day
01[12:37] {&Threei}  it's a personal choice drew

[12:39] {drewj} ok
01[12:39] {&Threei}  Larry King he is not
[12:39] {+cc_9} Tears Morgan is nothing but a tabloid hack who left the UK soon as the scandal hit the wires.
[12:39] {+cc_9} Why does he have a prime time show on a news network is beyond me.

[11:04] {nemo} Can you believe that, somebody would actually break the law
01[11:04] {&Threei}  ???
01[11:05] {&Threei}  no
01[11:05] {&Threei}  say it ain't so
[11:05] {nemo} you're a LEO fish?
01[11:05] {&Threei}  my world is coming down crashing
[11:05] {fish_49} yes
[11:05] {fish_49} why Vad?  Ban on Vodka?
[11:05] {nemo} I live in the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts, home of the Masshole
01[11:05] {&Threei}  11:04] {nemo} Can you believe that, somebody would actually break the law
[11:05] {nemo} I sell politically incorrect merchandise part-time
[11:06] {nemo} was talking to a guy from the gang squad in Boston awhile back
01[11:06] {&Threei}  I say politically incorrect words full time
[11:06] {fish_49} that's a shitty job  always chasing bullets
[11:06] {nemo} They see a known gang-banger walking down the street with a gun case, not a violin case, a gun case
[11:06] {fish_49} was he wearing a hoodie?
[11:06] {nemo} So they decide they should take a look.
[11:07] {nemo} Guy had either a converted mac-10 or uzi
[11:07] {nemo} so that's a Federal Offense
[11:07] {nemo} Then he has 3 30 round clips on him
[11:07] {nemo} That's a big no-no here
[11:07] {nemo} Of course, you can guess what happened?
[11:07] {fish_49} no
[11:07] {fish_49} tell us
[11:08] {nemo} Judge throws it out
[11:08] {fish_49} no PC
[11:08] {fish_49} ?
[11:08] {nemo} tells the cops they had no reason to think there was a gun in the gun case
[11:08] {fish_49} yea  no PC
01[11:08] {&Threei}  really
[11:08] {nemo} yep
01[11:08] {&Threei}  what were they thinking
01[11:08] {&Threei}  next thing you know they assume there should be a coffee in a coffee cup
[11:08] {fish_49} It's a Progressive  nation Vad
[11:08] {fish_49} lol
[11:08] {nemo} so carrying a gun case is not reason enough
[11:09] {nemo} got another one for ya"

[11:10] {nemo} that's Massachusetts
[11:10] {nemo} you can't even leave a knife out on your own countertop when you're not home in case a guy trying to burglarize your house hurts himself
01[11:11] {&Threei}  in good ole USSR people would leave vodka bottle with rat poison on the table in their garden cottage
01[11:11] {&Threei}  for thieves who would be breaking in during the winter
[11:11] {fish_49} lol
[11:14] {Alexs} I can't get it nemo, how the knife should stand on the kitchen island that the guy fell on it
[11:14] {nemo} me neither
[11:15] {nemo} maybe it was in of those woodblock holders
01[11:15] {&Threei}  even in those knife still stands ppointed end down
[11:15] {nemo} yeah, but perhaps it broke creating some type of spring effect
01[11:15] {&Threei}  wait... maybe he hurt himself by the handle?
01[11:16] {&Threei}  falling butt first...
[11:16] {nemo} whatever, can you imagine either of those guys getting away with that in texas?
01[11:16] {&Threei}  one of those case, you know... "one in million chance, doctor"?
[11:16] {nemo} First guy judge would have thrown in prison for being an idiot and getting what he deserved
[11:21] {fish_49} people fall on things all the time
[11:22] {nemo} Yeah, it's also amazing how hard someone can hit another guys fist with his face
[11:22] {robbers} Yeah, I once fell on my girlfriend.

[11:22] {nemo} now that was a hangover
[11:22] {robbers} LOL
[11:23] {fish_49} About 30 years ago when I was on patrol I pulled over a guy and his wife  I suspected of drunk driving
[11:23] {fish_49} It's never what you suspect
[11:23] {jdetente} I can guess what was going on
[11:23] {jdetente} lol
[11:23] {fish_49} I asked the guy why he was crossing the centerline and why he was sitting strange
[11:23] {nemo} the old head bob?
[11:23] {jdetente} that would be my guess
[11:24] {fish_49} He said  Sorry Sir  I'm on my way to the hospital  I fell on my wife's Vibrator and I cant get it out
[11:24] {jdetente} Ahahahaha

01[11:47] {&Threei}  Invalidated
[12:03] {nemo} wonder if the shooter will end up being a Muslim
[12:05] {fish_49} that is what my original thought was
[12:05] {jdetente} if he is it will be classified as workplace violence
[12:05] {nemo} of course
01[12:05] {&Threei}  which it is... he worked in USA, right?
[12:05] {fish_49} there are two shooters

[13:18] {fish_49} recreation
[13:18] {fish_49} lol
01[13:18] {&Threei}  teacher by day, musician by night, robber inbetween
[13:18] {Will49} :)
[13:19] {fish_49} don't forget the weed
[13:19] {fish_49} or was that Will arrested for the weed?
01[13:19] {&Threei}  and trading room - oh, this is just where he comes to brag
[13:19] {Will49} who me?
01[13:19] {&Threei}  never mind will, that was while you were on vacation :)
[13:19] {Will49} right
[13:19] {fish_49} yea  I forgot when but I recall you missing one day Will
01[13:20] {&Threei}  you didn't think we wouldn't insult you in your absence, did you
[13:20] {Will49} nooooooo
[13:20] {Will49} just nemo
01[13:20] {&Threei}  well... it's contagious
[13:20] {Will49} I read the blog every day just to keep an eye on him
[13:21] {drewj} please tell me that's a joke will
[13:21] {Will49} that's a JOKE
01[13:21] {&Threei}  Les told me he feels he becomes strangely and inconveniently polite while lacking communication with nemo
[13:21] {Will49} :)
[13:21] {fish_49} hahahahaa
[13:22] {Will49} how ya doin' drew?
01[13:22] {&Threei}  says he misses the room for that reason alone
01[13:22] {&Threei}  trading profit is add-on
[13:22] {drewj} ok...trying to get the hang of this day trading thing
[13:23] {drewj} that's true vad.
[13:23] {Will49} hang is a good term
[13:23] {drewj} sometimes i'm more into joking around than trading!
01[13:23] {&Threei}  so drew... followed today's trades?
[13:23] {drewj} i did.
[13:23] {Will49} you and the whole room sometimes
01[13:23] {&Threei}  worked out for you?
[13:23] {drewj} I'm still making a lot of rookie mistakes.
[13:24] {drewj} But I kick myself for them.
01[13:24] {&Threei}  well, keep in mind that we sometimes take things for granted
01[13:24] {&Threei}  if some call is not too clear, ask
[13:24] {+cc_9} OMER, nonstop geez
[13:24] {drewj} The general concepts are starting to become more clear in my mind
01[13:24] {&Threei}  or instructions on how to handle it
01[13:25] {&Threei}  we have thios SOP that has been repeated so many times, we just don't comment on uit
01[13:25] {&Threei}  k hits 1:1, everyone knows what to do
01[13:25] {&Threei}  I just say "1:1" instead of whole instruction
[13:25] {drewj} i get that.  I don't need to ask about that one too much.  It makes sense and is protective the way it's designed.
01[13:26] {&Threei}  korreqt
[13:26] {drewj} My nerves are subsiding.  Nervous clicking is expensive.
01[13:26] {&Threei}  if you see more detailed instruction, like:
01[13:26] {&Threei}  trail stop to xxx,
01[13:26] {&Threei}  this is deviation from SOP caused by some factor
01[13:26] {&Threei}  no comments, SOP is in effect
[13:26] {drewj} I dropped a bunch this morning on FB trying to sell but clicking buy
01[13:27] {&Threei}  why did you play FB at all?
[13:27] {drewj} price movement is starting to make more sense altogether.
[13:27] {drewj} Is nemo here?
[13:27] {drewj} NO?
[13:27] {drewj} Well i did it because i'm a retard
01[13:27] {&Threei}  oh
[13:28] {drewj} oh? so do you agree?
[13:28] {drewj} jk
01[13:29] {&Threei}  I just take it as an information supplied by you
01[13:29] {&Threei}  {GGG}
01[13:29] {&Threei}  btw, confusing buy and sell is not an unusual at the beginning
01[13:29] {&Threei}  many did that
[13:29] {drewj} i know.
[13:30] {drewj} well...on wmt I want to trail my stop to break even.
[13:30] {drewj} is that smarter
[13:30] {drewj} ?
[13:31] {drewj} it just keeps ticking higher
01[13:31] {&Threei}  if you are in solid profit as you should be per room trades, I wouldn't
01[13:31] {&Threei}  if not, maybe a good idea
[13:31] {fish_49} are you short WMT?
[13:31] {drewj} yes
[13:31] {drewj} i've been in the red most days.
01[13:31] {&Threei}  fish..
01[13:31] {&Threei}  12:59] {&Threei} Short Setup: WMT .85 break
01[13:31] {&Threei}  [12:59] {&Threei} If holds .90
01[13:31] {&Threei}  drew...
01[13:32] {&Threei}  stop doing your own trades
[13:32] {drewj} i have rarely done my own.
[13:32] {fish_49} Yes  I see it Vad  I did not take that trade
01[13:32] {&Threei}  everything has its time and place
[13:32] {Will49} and that's an oredr
[13:32] {drewj} that was probably the second or third one since i started.
01[13:32] {&Threei}  how can you be down if you only do what I call I don't understand
[13:32] {drewj} not sure.
[13:33] {fish_49} Drew Sit on hands when your thinking of jumping in your own trades  for now
[13:33] {drewj} will do.
[13:33] {drewj} i need to get into the black each day.
01[13:33] {&Threei}  so focus on this
01[13:33] {&Threei}  and find out what causes red when room calls are solidly in black
01[13:34] {&Threei}  you are not following SOP correctly then
[13:34] {drewj} i'll go back over my trades tonight.  I'll let you know what i find.
[13:36] {drewj} many things have been mixups.
[13:37] {fish_49} I had same issues when I started Drew  What I found to help was just follow the trades
[13:37] {drewj} so before a trade triggers 1;1 the stop is the original stop then.  so right now stop on wmt is .90?
01[13:37] {&Threei}  .91
[13:38] {fish_49} don't beat yourself up  just recognize the issues and fix them b4 you blow up your account
[13:38] {drewj} .91 seems so far up at this point.  why stay in if it is just ticking higher?
01[13:39] {&Threei}  far?
01[13:39] {&Threei}  it's 5 cents
[13:39] {drewj} Thanks fish.
01[13:39] {&Threei}  stops don't get any tighter than this
[13:40] {drewj} i got in at .84 so that's 7 cents
01[13:40] {&Threei}  yes
01[13:40] {&Threei}  that changes thing greatly
01[13:40] {&Threei}  things
01[13:40] {&Threei}  come on
[13:40] {drewj} i always feel like my stop outs are larger than my gains.
01[13:40] {&Threei}  we get 1:3ers regularly
01[13:40] {&Threei}  how can that be?
01[13:41] {&Threei}  you are trading a system now has been honed and tested for over a decade
01[13:41] {&Threei}  have some faith, will you?
[13:41] {fish_49} 3 cents slippage is that because of speed or was it broker slippage?
[13:41] {drewj} i'm only using 200 shares at a time.  I can't get to 1:3.  I have to get out at 1:2
[13:41] {drewj} maybe that's the problem.
01[13:41] {&Threei}  so use 300
01[13:41] {&Threei}  or 400
[13:42] {drewj} what should i do at 1:1 with 300
01[13:42] {&Threei}  it's frikin 5 vcents stop
[13:42] {drewj} ?
01[13:42] {&Threei}  ok, 7
01[13:42] {&Threei}  WMT 1:1
[13:42] {drewj} not complaining vad
[13:42] {drewj} I'm not complaining...just not competent
01[13:43] {&Threei}  notice that you would be out right now at .86 if you did what you felt like doing
01[13:43] {&Threei}  insteasd you can start taking prodit
01[13:44] {&Threei}  13:38] {drewj} .91 seems so far up at this point. why stay in if it is just ticking higher?
01[13:44] {&Threei}  this is wrong
[13:44] {drewj} ok why?
01[13:44] {&Threei}  any tick between meaningful levels is just a noise
01[13:44] {&Threei}  support and rtesistance matter
01[13:44] {&Threei}  and what stock does between them
01[13:44] {&Threei}  why would you want to take or exit position on any accidental tick?
01[13:45] {&Threei}  sorry this should read:
01[13:45] {&Threei}  and what stock does around them
01[13:45] {&Threei}  .90 is resistance
01[13:45] {&Threei}  .85 becomes resiostance when stock reaches 1:1
01[13:46] {&Threei}  or at least touched very close to it
[13:46] {drewj} i guess I can't read S/R well yet.
[13:46] {drewj} i'm on the edge of my seat tick by tick.
01[13:46] {&Threei}  don't read them,
[13:46] {drewj} so what is resistance on wmt right now?
01[13:47] {&Threei}  follow those I ouline in my calls
01[13:47] {&Threei}  let's crawl before walk and walk before run
01[13:47] {&Threei}  nobody expects you to analyze vhart structure just yet
01[13:47] {&Threei}  chart
01[13:47] {&Threei}  now it's .85
01[13:47] {&Threei}  you covered half of your position and trailed stop to .86
01[13:48] {&Threei}  again, notice that even though stop was 5, first target is 10
[13:48] {drewj} ok
01[13:48] {&Threei}  how yourr stoped can be larger than your profits, I can't see - unless you just don't follow SOP
01[13:49] {&Threei}  stops
[13:49] {RonS} Due to an OPRA issue(s) the CBOE  C 2 NYSE AMEX ISE and Gemini Haltedg Trading as of 12:40 ct RT @nanexllc: OPRA just came back
[13:49] {RonS} There will be (or should be) alert prior to options exchanges retarting RT @nanexllc: OPRA only back for about 20 seconds - down again
01[13:50] {&Threei}  (US) White House reiterates that President Obama will make the Fed chair appointment in the fall months, no change in planned timing of nomination after Summers withdrawal
[13:51] {fish_49} he was scheduled to speak on tv  today?
01[13:52] {&Threei}  he did
[13:52] {fish_49} wow  I missed it
[13:52] {fish_49} lol
01[13:53] {&Threei}  how very unpatriotic of you
[13:53] {fish_49} Options Markets Halted
[13:53] {fish_49} Drew have you sold half of your position on WMT?
[13:54] {drewj} so if i use 400 shares it's 200 out at 1:1, other 100 at 1:2 and last 100 on 1:3?
[13:54] {fish_49} yea you got it
[13:54] {drewj} Yes fish.  but I only have 100 more to go.
01[13:54] {&Threei}  so what
01[13:54] {&Threei}  follow the procedure
01[13:54] {&Threei}  it's training wheels size,
01[13:55] {&Threei}  but you train by doing what you are going to do with larger size
[13:55] {drewj} i have to keep  that in mind
[13:56] {fish_49} so Drew where is your stop for the remaining shares?
[13:56] {drewj} .85
[13:57] {drewj} good question...that's what i need
[13:57] {drewj} am i right?
[13:57] {fish_49} Look up  and see what Vad said
[13:57] {nemo} not in this universe
[13:57] {fish_49} I think he said .86
01[13:58] {&Threei}  .85 is resistance
01[13:58] {&Threei}  break of it triggers your stop
01[13:58] {&Threei}  so .86 is a stop
[13:58] {fish_49} so the sell trigger should be .86 and your out
01[13:58] {&Threei}  korreqt
01[13:59] {&Threei}  drew, let's agree on this:
[13:59] {fish_49} Drew  .86 is the better place to put your stop  .85 is resistance  so it could come to .85 again and stop you out b4 falling
[14:00] {fish_49} so if it breaks resistance at .85 then you know the trade is going the other way
[14:00] {fish_49} does that make sense?
[14:00] {drewj} yes
01[14:00] {&Threei}  if room ends the day profitable and you are in red, this is not something you just dismiss and come back tomorrow making the same mistakes; you look into what you did wrong and correct that
[14:00] {fish_49} so if u see your chart you could draw a resistance line at .85  you will see price hit it 3 times and reversed
[14:00] {drewj} agreed
[14:00] {drewj} i see it fish
[14:02] {Will49} something that helps me is to draw s and r lines plus entry price line
[14:02] {Will49} easier for me to watch the candles go up and down between lines
[14:03] {fish_49} so if it drops from here then we have resistance at .80 and if you were nervous  you could move stop to .81  but it might be wise  to wait  and or ask vad his opinion on moving stop to .81.  Look below and see there is no real resistance until gap fill..  Will we make it to gap fill?  not sure but at this point the odds are in your favor because your in the m
[14:03] {fish_49} oney
01[14:04] {&Threei}  I'd say if it approaches .70 from here, trail to .81
01[14:04] {&Threei}  to protect from double bottom
[14:04] {drewj} i was just about to ask
01[14:05] {&Threei}  for now it's still .86
01[14:05] {&Threei}  slowly developing trade, ideal for real time discussion
[14:05] {drewj} that's actually what i really need.
01[14:05] {&Threei}  let's me offer you somewhat unusual advice drew
[14:05] {drewj} shoot
01[14:06] {&Threei}  for a nearest while, stop thinking
01[14:06] {&Threei}  just follow as close as possible
01[14:06] {&Threei}  what it's going to do fir you is:
01[14:07] {&Threei}  1. relief from incessant overthinking things for which you don't have enough knowledge yet, and tend to think (and do) wrong things as a result
01[14:07] {&Threei}  2. give you a chance to calm down and control your emotions, much like soldier who stops question orders and just follows them
01[14:07] {&Threei}  and 3, and most important
[14:08] {fish_49} make money
01[14:08] {&Threei}  give you a chance to become profitable, sensing that it's doable
01[14:08] {&Threei}  and further calming down
01[14:09] {&Threei}  when you are over that threshold, we will get back to that potentially harmful thing people call thinking
01[14:09] {&Threei}  otherwise you just overwhelm yourself by endless questions that don't help much
01[14:09] {&Threei}  I'd put it this way: at this stagr you don't know yet what questions to ask :)
[14:11] {drewj} agreed
[14:11] {drewj} thanks guys
01[14:11] {&Threei}  np
[14:12] {jdetente} I've been in your shoes Drew.
[14:12] {Will49} amen
[14:12] {jdetente} Once you stop thinking, it will work wonders
01[14:12] {&Threei}  give us a chance, we will make non-thinking profitable trader with ice in your veins out of you
[14:12] {Alexs} feeling myself in a church
01[14:13] {&Threei}  each and every one of us has been in your shoes
01[14:13] {&Threei}  even alex
[14:13] {drewj} i was thinking of cobra kai
01[14:13] {&Threei}  it is Alex,
[14:13] {nemo} oh jeez
01[14:13] {&Threei}  called Church of Opinionless Trading
[14:13] {Will49} amen
[14:13] {Alexs} lol
01[14:13] {&Threei}  lol
01[14:14] {&Threei}  one of questions I often get in e-mails:
[14:14] {Will49} what church do you attend?
01[14:14] {&Threei}  I see you going long and short on the same stock in one day; don't you have an opinion on the stock and its duirection?
01[14:14] {&Threei}  I tend to answer those with one word: No.
01[14:15] {&Threei}  if a sender is a bit more polite and shows intelligence in his questions,
01[14:16] {&Threei}  I may ask him how does following his opinion work for him
[14:16] {fish_49} sorry for my rude question Vad  I didn't know you would share it in the room
01[14:16] {&Threei}  if he is honest, answer is usually" not very well, lol
01[14:16] {&Threei}  that's fine fish, in a min we will be done with this and turn on nemo
[14:17] {drewj} get him
[14:17] {fish_49} I was going there
[14:17] {Will49} oh no!

[14:17] {nemo} O.K finished loading magazines
[14:17] {nemo} I was meditating
[14:17] {fish_49} Vad don't know the direction of the stock,  for direction he relies on Nemo  which means we are still directionless
01[14:17] {&Threei}  no, this is what this was about:
[14:17] {Will49} lol
01[14:17] {&Threei}  [12:57] {&Threei} How do you know if your best friend is a real friend? Show up at his door with dead body over your shoulder and see if he just grabs a shovel without asking a single question
01[14:18] {&Threei}  and you just decided not to open the door at all??
[14:18] {nemo} ahhh, yep
[14:18] {nemo} Doing the deed, no problem...getting rid of the body, always a problem
01[14:18] {&Threei}  not even curiosity whose body that was?
[14:19] {nemo} o.k. I'll bite, whose body?
[14:19] {Will49} wasn't it somebody's wife?

[14:24] {nemo} I knew a guy had been divorced three times says to me, "Every 6 or 7 years I should just find some bitch that hates me and buy her a house."
[14:24] {Will49} hahaha
[14:25] {Will49} btw..the religious reference was to trading, not marriage
[14:25] {fish_49} I'm on my forth marriage
[14:25] {fish_49} the first wife died of a broken neck
[14:25] {nemo} yeah, you start talking about churches I start visualizing Vad with altar boys
[14:25] {fish_49} who would have thought the second wife died of a broken neck also
[14:25] {Will49} that's the way Fish...do it till you get it right
[14:26] {nemo} worst cast of suicide I ever did see

[14:36] {nemo} yeah, we don't want to pry as to why though
01[14:37] {&Threei}  one of the molst hienous actions is to tag our stop, then proceed to our target
01[14:37] {&Threei}  which is what we reflect in SoMG designation
[14:37] {nemo} heinous is your spelling
01[14:38] {&Threei}  no, that's atrocious
[14:38] {nemo} ok....

01[14:54] {&Threei}  it touched .71
01[14:55] {&Threei}  by al;l means, trail to .81
[14:55] {fish_49} Drew you catch that?
[14:58] {drewj} trail stop? yes
[14:58] {drewj} thanks
[14:58] {nemo} fish, man you gotta' change that nick, I love James Gang music, but I can't get it out of my head
[14:58] {fish_49} Easy to change name?
[14:59] {fish_49} I was thinking of a new name  perhaps Nemo2?
[14:59] {nemo} sheesh...it's like having Bohemian Rhapsody playing on every station, and I've only got one station
[14:59] {fish_49} Vad can you change my name to NemoWannabe?
[14:59] {nemo} works for me, you'll have to ask everybody else if two of us is too much
[15:00] {nemo} which sets up...
[15:00] {Will49} don't need to even ask
[15:00] {fish_49} Nemo  what was the song?
[15:01] {nemo} Funk49
[15:02] {fish_49} Didn't the Eagles sing that song in Vancouver?
[15:02] {nemo} they sang it here when I saw them in August
[15:02] {nemo} they did 3 or 4 Joe songs
[15:03] {nemo} Funk49, In the City, and Life's been Good, might have been another
[15:03] {nemo} dude was a crazy bastard on tour...had a PhD in destroying hotel rooms
[15:04] {nemo} would bring a chain saw on tour with him
[15:04] {nemo} cut right through the walls
[15:04] {nemo} ebay vad
01[15:04] {&Threei}  .45 break?
[15:04] {nemo} looks it
01[15:05] {&Threei}  yup, tempting
[15:05] {nemo} gotta' watch the indexes here
[15:08] {fish_49} your out of WMT  right Drew?
[15:09] {nemo} droobie droobie drew, where are you?
[15:09] {nemo} ebay weak on index rise
[15:09] {fish_49} so to my calculation you made 5 cents on that trade
01[15:11] {&Threei}  hmm?
[15:12] {fish_49} he got in late
[15:12] {fish_49} .84
[15:15] {+cc_9} JPM to pay $750M in files in relation to the London Whale trade.
[15:16] {fish_49} slap on wrist for them
01[15:17] {&Threei}  I am not sure I understand what they are paying for
[15:17] {fish_49} how much did they make on the LW trade?
[15:17] {fish_49} paying to make the issue go away?
01[15:17] {&Threei}  they made an error and lost mney?
01[15:18] {&Threei}  good, what else do they need to pay?
[15:18] {fish_49} they need to buy lunch for Alex
[15:18] {fish_49} then we can forget about it
01[15:18] {&Threei}  that's a given
01[15:19] {&Threei}  but 750 mln lunch, no progressive can eat it
[15:19] {fish_49} It depends
[15:19] {fish_49} Fish in Japan is expensive
[15:19] {fish_49} Tuna sells for a premium there
[15:19] {nemo} one of the shooters identified as from Texas
[15:20] {fish_49} any news on why  or affiliation?
[15:20] {RonS} ...had a brand on his ass?
[15:21] {nemo} nah
[15:21] {nemo} is name was Alexis
[15:22] {+cc_9} fish_49 how much did they make on the LW trade?
[15:22] {+cc_9} they lost $6B on that trade.
[15:22] {nemo} http://lat.ms/16drtPj
[15:22] {fish_49} so why pay? if they had inside information would they have lost?
[15:22] {fish_49} was it an inside information case?
[15:22] {+cc_9} Because part of being a bank is being able to assess risk
[15:22] {+cc_9} that loss was made by one trader
[15:23] {fish_49} Nemo?
[15:23] {+cc_9} no 1 person can lose $6B for a bank...otherwise, something aint working right
[15:23] {+cc_9} nemo, its Dorner part 2
[15:26] {nemo} whose asking what?
[15:26] {nemo} who's
01[15:26] {&Threei}  I still fon't get it
01[15:27] {&Threei}  they didn't do their risk control rigtht
01[15:27] {&Threei}  they lost 6B
01[15:27] {&Threei}  they are punished by market
[15:27] {fish_49} forget that  lets  give nemo hard time for his English mistake
01[15:27] {&Threei}  what do regulators have to do with it?
[15:27] {+cc_9} also, don't forget the toad part
[15:27] {nemo} yeah, it was an obscure thinly traded derivative
01[15:28] {&Threei}  how long from that to a private trader paying fine for a losung trade?
01[15:28] {&Threei}  oh, you missed a stop and lost more than you should have? part of your job as a trader is proper risk control, pay fine
[15:29] {+cc_9} "part of your job as a bank is proper risk control, pay fine"
[15:29] {+cc_9} fixed that for you
[15:30] {nemo} wow, still only 83 mil. spy traded
[15:30] {nemo} tlt coughed up a furball
01[15:30] {&Threei}  well, unless there was some part of it that I am missing, it's wrong
[15:31] {fish_49} trader pay fine  get fired,  company pay fine?  The government protecting us?
[15:38] {nemo} spy going down like a good girl
[15:40] {+cc_9} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_JPMorgan_Chase_trading_loss
[15:40] {+cc_9} scroll down to Trades
[15:45] {fish_49} The Financial Times "Alphaville" analysis suggests that these positions were not volatile enough to account for the full losses reported.[23] They suggest that other positions are likely involved as well.[
[15:45] {fish_49} so they think JPM hiding other losses?
[15:45] {nemo} it was aliens
[15:48] {nemo} frickin' toe is throbbing now...sheesh
[15:48] {fish_49} what did you do to toe?
[15:48] {fish_49} should we call a tow truck?
[15:48] {nemo} broke it, it was an arthritic toe already
[15:49] {fish_49} no meds?
[15:49] {nemo} yeah 1.75 litres of JD

[15:51] {fish_49} Drew  we can blame Vad  he should only bring us 5:1 trades
[15:52] {drewj} if all else fails blame the boss
[15:52] {nemo} yeah, he's gotta' step up his game

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market Update: Syria Attack Off the Table, Taper On Deck



- Global equity markets sustained another round of solid gains this week. The march to war in Syria abruptly gave way to diplomacy as Russian President Putin offered to broker a deal to get the Syrians to hand over their chemical weapons to international control. Market participants appear to be more comfortable with the idea that the Fed taper, with the initial reduction on deck for next week, will be gradual (and inevitable). Chinese August trade data out on Monday was very strong, suggesting that there has been no big slowdown in China. US initial jobless claims dropped to 292K in the week ended September 7th, the lowest figure since 2006, however the data was clouded by some technical problems in claims processing in two states. For the week, the DJIA gained 3%, the S&P500 added 2% and the Nasdaq rose 1.7%.

- The FOMC meets next week on Wednesday, Sept 18th, and the consensus view is that the Fed will decide for "taper light" of $10-15B (to $70-75B in purchases a month), with most if not all the reduction in USTs, not mortgage-backed securities. On Friday the Nikkei published a story asserting that President Obama would nominate Larry Summers as the next Fed chairman after next week's FOMC meeting. The White House later refuted the report, and sources said that there would be no announcement about the new chairman next week.

- By Monday, there was no chance of the House passing a resolution supporting the use of force in Syria and Senate passage was looking tenuous. With options vanishing quickly, the Obama Administration rapidly embraced Russian President Putin's offer to broker a solution to the chemical weapons issue, with some hesitation. Despite the move from bombs to diplomacy, the prospects for successfully extracting the Assad regime's weapons are poor, at best. US and Russian negotiators have been haggling over the details of an eventual deal, and the US has resisted Russian demands to take use of force off the table as an option. As concerns about an imminent military strike faded, so did crude. After peaking last week above $110, WTI crude fell to around $107 later in the week.

- The response to Apple's new smartphone models has not been a vote of confidence. After holding steady around $500 in the three weeks leading up to the announcement this week, shares of Apple have dropped approximately 8% to trade below $470. Apple launched two separate models for the first time: the high-end iPhone 5S and the more moderately priced iPhone 5C. Analysts dismissed the former for only offering incremental improvements over the iPhone 5 and the latter for being too expensive to appeal to its target markets in emerging economy nations. In addition, a widely expected deal between Apple and China's largest mobile provider, China Mobile (with 700M customers), has not closed yet.

- Dow Jones is making its first change to the DJIA in a year and some long-standing members are getting dropped. Alcoa is leaving the index after 54 years, in addition Bank of America and Hewlett-Packard. In their place, Goldman Sachs, Nike and Visa are being added to the Dow 30. Analysts point out that the swap of Goldman for BoA will have an outsized impact on the price-weighted index: at $169 a share, a 1% move in GS would add approximately 12 points to the DJIA, whereas a 1% move in BAC, priced at $14.50, only adds 1 point to the index. The changes are effective Sept 23rd.

- On Thursday, the Obama Administrations circulated its latest plan to curb CO2 emissions from power plants. The EPA proposal would limit emissions to 1,100 lbs of CO2 per megawatt hour for coal plants and 1,000 lbs for large gas-fired plants. These restrictions would effectively deter any construction of new coal-fired plants and are a stepping-stone for the Administration's forthcoming emissions standards for existing power plants, which are due in June 2014.

- Verizon sold $49B in bonds this week, comprising the largest corporate bond offer in history. Initially Verizon was looking to sell $20B in paper to fund the buy-out of its Verizon Wireless JV partner, Vodafone Group. But sustained demand for the debt deal - sources suggested the book rose above $90B - saw the company more than double the offering. The huge interest in the sale suggests investors are hunting for yield ahead of the Fed's big moment next week.

- The Shanghai Composite pushed out to its best levels in three months this week following an impressive recovery in August trade data. Meanwhile, August CPI fell to three-month lows, with the 2.6% annualized figure low enough to let Beijing leave its accommodative policies in place. After the trade data, the China NDRC estimated that 2013 Chinese imports would be up 7.3% y/y and exports up 9% y/y. At the same time, there were signs the government has still not managed to bring the real estate situation to heel. There were reports in Chinese media that both big, state-owned banks and smaller banks had temporarily halted issuing mortgages in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, as well as some second- and third-tier cities.

- At the end of last week, dollar strength and Draghi's comments at the post-decision press conference had weighed on the euro. EUR/USD entered the week around 1.3170 and then rose a big figure in Monday trading. EUR/USD then bounced between 1.3250 and 1.3320 for the rest of the week. GBP/USD pushed out to seven-month highs above 1.5870 as the string of better UK economic data continued. Note that the UK August Jobless Claims fell for the 10th straight month, with the good data also reflected in the gradual climb in short-dated Gilt yields. Many analysts now believe the BoE might start tightening before the first half of 2015.

- The chart of USD/JPY this week looked much like last week's, but a little softer. The pair spent the mid-week period above 100 but then bounced lower as numerous Japanese officials said PM Abe had ordered the formulation of a new economic package by the end of September to help offset the planned sales tax hike. Tokyo won the nod to host the 2020 Olympics, which Abe has taken to calling the fourth arrow of his economic stimulus plan.
