Sept 25 2013

Beautiful day with profitable trades throughout the day, nicely reaching their juicy targets while stops were well controlled with no harm to the bottom line at all. GDX, GLD, CAT, JPM, this, that... all the usual suspects, with room members catching some of news-related moves like WMT, SSO, SWFT. Do also read a discussion of treading education for newer traders at the last hour while we babysat last trades.

01[11:42] {&Threei}  what time isn't
[11:42] {fish_49} good point Vad
01[11:42] {&Threei}  - As Senator Cruz continues his quixotic "filibuster," the Senate is preparing to complete its version of the CR funding bill by Sunday, Sept 29th. The Senate version will fund the federal government through November 15th (versus the House bill's December 15th target) and obviously strips out Obamacare defunding.
[11:43] {fish_49} what a nut
01[11:43] {&Threei}  This morning Treasury Sec Lew said the extraordinary measures designed to keep government finances afloat would be exhausted by October 17th, and condemned plans to "prioritize" payments as just "default by another name." The House may see an initial vote to increase the debt ceiling as soon as Friday.
[11:44] {Will49} This Cruz is an idiot
[11:44] {Will49} Sad to say he was born in Alberta
[11:44] {cipher} no he's not

[14:02] {dino} gj cipher, glad to help
[14:02] {dino} htwr smackdown
[14:04] {+cc_9} This is why I scale in long on SPY drops, no matter what the news is
[14:04] {+cc_9} 9 times out of 10, we bounce just as hard
[14:08] {cipher} SHOO s.49
[14:10] {+cc_9} GMCR free fall mode
[14:13] {+cc_9} SPY another drop = another scalp
[14:13] {+cc_9} JPM volume spike
[14:14] {+cc_9} JP Morgan $JPM national settlement may reach USD 11bln
[14:16] {nemo} price action getting a tad erratic
[14:16] {nemo} Les must be mind melding with the market

[14:17] {+cc_9} 14:13 cc_9 SPY another drop = another scalp
[14:17] {+cc_9} ;)
[14:19] {fish_49} I'm not sure which way to swim
[14:21] {+cc_9} i would like to see SPY tank again if possible.
[14:21] {+cc_9} before we slowly creep back to yesterday's closing PPS and get bored.
[14:23] {nemo} spy getting hung up under vwap, mmmhhh
[14:25] {nemo} we've got EOQ markups coming
[14:25] {+cc_9} market trying to rip
[14:25] {+cc_9} JPM bouncing on that great news
[14:25] {+cc_9} all that brouhaha about WMT and its back to its pps before the "news" came out.
[14:26] {+cc_9} in other words : news don't matter, buy the effing dip
[14:29] {nemo} kinda' leaning towards spy drop, it's having trouble getting back above vwap
[14:29] {nemo} IWM too
[14:30] {nemo} gdx short vad?
01[14:30] {&Threei}  not sure
01[14:30] {&Threei}  26 break long is just as valid
[14:33] {dino} rrms drop
[14:33] {RonS} odfl pressure

[14:35] {+cc_9} i put a chart together that shows all entry/exits for SSO today : http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/5267/zy9i.jpg
[14:36] {dino} damn, missed rrms
[14:36] {nemo} going gray, huh CC?
[14:36] {+cc_9} I had to change background color so the arrows are visible, even with that, i had to circle them...
[14:38] {nemo} P and FB should be good for shorting next week
[14:39] {+cc_9} AAPL saw some profit taking right out the gate
01[14:42] {&Threei}  pains me to say but
01[14:43] {&Threei}  nemo was right about GDX
01[14:43] {&Threei}  really painful

[15:03] {jdetente} Alright fellas. Great day again(thanks Vad). Going to take off early. See you all tomorrow.
[15:03] {Will49} peace jd
01[15:03] {&Threei}  take care jd
01[15:03] {&Threei}  nice to keep those babies lean, eh?
[15:05] {+cc_9} why is this analyst on bloomberg saying there is a 40% change of a gov shutdown
[15:05] {+cc_9} why do they still act like we are children...
[15:05] {nemo} PT Barnum
[15:06] {+cc_9} we are all well aware and up to speed on their scams...they will raise the debt as always and nothing will change
01[15:07] {&Threei}  they lure you into complacency, cc_9... and just when you get used to nothing changing, change comes
[15:07] {nemo} When I try to get out....they pull me back in...
01[15:07] {&Threei}  right
[15:09] {nemo} We had to watch Coppola's daughter in that movie because Winona Ryder wigged out
01[15:14] {&Threei} Short Setup: GLD  .95 break
01[15:14] {&Threei}  If holds  .05
01[15:17] {&Threei}  drew, here?
[15:18] {drewj} yup
[15:18] {drewj} what's up
01[15:18] {&Threei}  just wanted to ask how you are doing
[15:18] {dino} how you doing w/trades drew? you're quiet
[15:19] {drewj} still trying to come to terms with all of this
01[15:19] {&Threei}  no troubles following trade calls?
[15:19] {dino} keep at it, it will click
[15:20] {drewj} i mess up more than i would like
01[15:20] {&Threei}  something isn't clear?
[15:20] {drewj} i am learning each day...
01[15:20] {&Threei}  should be pretty straightforward...
01[15:20] {&Threei}  enter, partial, trail, exit
[15:20] {drewj} that emotional discipline is lacking.
01[15:22] {&Threei}  don't focus on your inner world... focus on action
01[15:22] {&Threei}  trigger is here, take the trade
01[15:22] {&Threei}  stop or target is here, take it
01[15:22] {&Threei}  move on to the next
01[15:22] {&Threei}  don't think
01[15:22] {&Threei}  don't guess
01[15:22] {&Threei}  let them system work
[15:23] {Chaeron} cold, reflex - no emotion. {sorry, new here but like the help if I can}
[15:23] {drewj} go for it...
[15:23] {Chaeron} that's all I got :)
[15:23] {drewj} :)
[15:23] {drewj} short but sweet
[15:24] {nemo} yeah, in the mode of "what's old is new again."
[15:24] {drewj} right
[15:24] {dino} if its emotions, its what you believe that isn't true drew
[15:24] {drewj} you are right dino
[15:25] {drewj} i guess i am fighting myself...after years in another profession
[15:26] {drewj} i'm used to making a lot of my own decisions
[15:26] {Will49} drew..took me months to "tame the tiger" and keep my emotions under control
[15:26] {Chaeron} most large houses that have floor traders will not allow people looking to be traders to have a master's degree... and some prefer not college grad... they don't want them "thinking"
[15:26] {dino} we've all been there. you must become a machine. react, don't think
[15:26] {Will49} becoming a machine is a big challenge for some of us
01[15:27] {&Threei} Short Setup: JCP  .10 break
[15:27] {drewj} that feels like such a leap of faith guys
[15:27] {Chaeron} maybe "analyzing"  better word,.... don't analyze at all.
01[15:27] {&Threei}  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXa9tXcMhXQ
[15:27] {Chaeron} lol
[15:28] {drewj} which one are you vad?
[15:28] {Chaeron} drew... let go... trust the force... you're here... trust Threei... (Yoda?)
[15:28] {RonS} no jcp shares here...
01[15:28] {&Threei}  I am overseeing them
[15:28] {drewj} oh no...
[15:28] {drewj} Chaeron i already like you:)
[15:28] {drewj} my wife will love that one.
[15:28] {nemo} lucky him
[15:29] {Chaeron} thanks drew... but be warned.. I am not "Sharon" or female for that matter...
[15:29] {nemo} algo's looking for order flow
[15:29] {Chaeron} nemo... lol
[15:29] {nemo} Yeah, I make a Sith lord look like Santa Clause
[15:30] {dino} size down drew, when set-up is there hit it. stay smaller shares until you get it. perhaps bigger trade size is messing you up. find your edge and comfort zone.
01[15:30] {&Threei}  so, doln't call him Shirley
[15:30] {drewj} i'm really having a hard time with that one dino
[15:30] {nemo} are u jesting?
[15:30] {dino} i'll crack you up, only 1 trade for me today was bigger than 400 shares, and i've hit my target
[15:30] {drewj} i can't get comfortable with share sizes
[15:31] {dino} back in ten minutes
[15:31] {+cc_9} Ron, who's your broker ?
[15:32] {+cc_9} got shares available here
[15:32] {nemo} E. F. Hutton
[15:32] {Chaeron} lol
[15:32] {fish_49} that's old Nemo
[15:32] {nemo} yeah, I used it yesterday
[15:35] {Alexs} stop .18 JCP?
01[15:35] {&Threei}  yup
01[15:35] {&Threei}  GLD 1:1
01[15:36] {&Threei}  seriously drew... devote a few days to just following the calls and SOP instructions, with no thinking whatsoever
01[15:36] {&Threei}  it doesn't mean you will trade like that all the time
01[15:36] {&Threei}  but it'll help take edge off
01[15:37] {&Threei}  and make transition easier
01[15:37] {&Threei}  trading in some ways is unlike any other profession
01[15:37] {&Threei}  we are too conditioned to think through each separate case
01[15:37] {&Threei}  and take it as reflection of our intelligence
[15:38] {drewj} i know.  you are right
01[15:38] {&Threei}  In trading, intelligence is being used and applied at the pre-trading stage, during system design
01[15:38] {&Threei}  and during actual execution is't pure discipline
01[15:38] {&Threei}  it's
[15:38] {drewj} i can't understand that but i believe you
01[15:38] {&Threei}  why can't?
01[15:39] {&Threei}  it's not a completely foreign concept
01[15:39] {&Threei}  soldiers execute general's orders
01[15:39] {&Threei}  they don't design operation
[15:39] {drewj} how can i recognize situations and act without intelligence?
01[15:39] {&Threei}  you are at early stage
01[15:40] {&Threei}  you are using someone else's ability to recognize them
[15:40] {drewj} fair enough
01[15:40] {&Threei}  when you learn crawling you startt walking
01[15:40] {&Threei}  but soldier who nevber learned to execute has no chance to become an officer
[15:40] {dino} gcap hl s .97
01[15:40] {&Threei}  and start designing operations
[15:41] {Chaeron} and more than likely died in action
01[15:41] {&Threei}  leap of faith you say? but trades work in front of your very eyes, day by day
01[15:41] {&Threei}  not that big of a leap, is it
[15:41] {drewj} that's the part where i am fighting myself
01[15:42] {&Threei}  what is it you are fighting, put it in words
[15:42] {drewj} i seem to want to be disobediant:)
01[15:42] {&Threei}  ah
01[15:42] {&Threei}  well
01[15:42] {&Threei}  good luck qwith that :)
01[15:42] {&Threei}  one thing to keep in mind:
[15:42] {fish_49} Drew are you taking trades other than what Vad calls in the room?
01[15:42] {&Threei}  it's not personal, it's not about obeying me or someone else
01[15:42] {&Threei}  it's abpouit following the system
[15:43] {drewj} funny: i'm used to getting paid to be bossed around...now I'm paying to be bossed around!
01[15:43] {&Threei}  tried, tested, proven
01[15:43] {&Threei}  wrong
01[15:43] {&Threei}  you are paying to make money and learn to make money
[15:43] {drewj} ahhhhhhhh
01[15:44] {&Threei}  following all the calls, you would have been paid by the market itself for a month of your expense in a matter of a few days, even with small shares
01[15:44] {&Threei}  process all the calls of this weerk alone, just three days
01[15:44] {&Threei}  see what you'd have made by fiollowing them exactly
[15:45] {drewj} point taken
[15:45] {dino} discipline vtrumps conviction drew
01[15:45] {&Threei}  don't tell me it's less than $300 even with 200-300 shares
01[15:45] {&Threei}  JCP meh
[15:45] {drewj} gld 1:2 yet?
01[15:46] {&Threei}  2 cents more
01[15:48] {&Threei}  stop .91
01[15:48] {&Threei}  time becomes an issue
01[15:49] {&Threei}  weed out this angle of "boss, bossing around" drew... it's inapplicable here
01[15:50] {&Threei}  thwere is a system based on about a hundred years of observations at least,
01[15:50] {&Threei}  and on a human psychology observed and analyzed for many hundred of years
01[15:51] {&Threei}  It's honed tested here in the very room for 13 years
[15:51] {dino} gcap stopped .14-.17
[15:51] {fish_49} Damn Vad your older than I thought
01[15:51] {&Threei}  yeah
01[15:51] {&Threei}  I provide instructions according to system's signals
01[15:52] {&Threei}  I don't command you or order you around or boss you arounmore than, say, gravity does
01[15:52] {&Threei}  if you ignore gravity, physic laws will take care of teaching you a lesson
01[15:52] {&Threei}  same with market
[15:53] {fish_49} Don't Feel bad Drew  Vad used to boss me around  but  My wife yelled at him for trying to take her job
01[15:53] {&Threei}  follow the system as you would consider gravity before jumping from 100th floor
[15:53] {drewj} now i feel better:)
[15:53] {nemo} then she gave fish the strap-on
01[15:53] {&Threei}  lol fish
[15:53] {+cc_9} nice SPY finish
[15:53] {+cc_9} more juice for tomorrow
01[15:53] {&Threei}  5 min, GLD
01[15:53] {&Threei}  drrrrop
[15:53] {nemo} probably visit the 50 day tomorrow
[15:54] {drewj} how close do we get to the EOD with gld?
01[15:54] {&Threei}  2 min
01[15:54] {&Threei}  1:2 baby
01[15:54] {&Threei}  and still have 4 min to go
01[15:54] {&Threei}  see? gravity
[15:54] {drewj} good point
01[15:54] {&Threei}  you are not thinking how to fool it, right?
01[15:55] {&Threei}  same way don't think how to gert around laws of market movement
01[15:55] {&Threei}  just follow them
01[15:55] {&Threei}  you don't know them yet well enough though
[15:55] {drewj} i'm getting there:)
01[15:55] {&Threei}  and that's where I come in
[15:55] {drewj} that's for sure
01[15:55] {&Threei}  hope it helps making that leap :)
[15:56] {drewj} it's only an internal leap but it has seemed very far.
[15:56] {drewj} i do believe you though
01[15:56] {&Threei}  2 min GLD
[15:56] {drewj} out now?
[15:57] {drewj} neverming
[15:57] {drewj} nevermind
06[15:57] * &Threei is looking at GLD imitating great patience but drumming his fingers on the table
[15:57] {fish_49} I'm out in full
[15:57] {fish_49} thanks Vad

Sept 24 2013

Beautiful trading day, with 3 1:3 trades (GLD and two MCD, which gave us new joke about taking hamburgers from babies thus saving them from obesity), and a few smaller ones, plus three small stops that couldn't even make a dent.


Session Time: Tue Sep 24 00:00:00 2013

01[11:08] <&Threei>  that's disturbing image
[11:08] No doubt.
[11:09] what a disappointment :)
01[11:09] <&Threei>  President Obama directs Secretary of State Kerry to pursue nuclear weapons deal with Iran, says 'diplomatic path must be tested'
[11:09] of course
01[11:09] <&Threei>  why not, after all he handles Syria brilliantly
[11:09] what a joke
[11:09] next they will propose sitting around campfire singing kumbaya
[11:10] idiots. iran buys time again

01[11:11] <&Threei>  now, I want what this guys is smoking, obviously fantastic stuff:
01[11:11] <&Threei>  McConnell: If five Senate Democrats vote against the Majority Leader, Obamacare will be defunded.

[11:13] "diplomatic path" is really just the path of least resistence.
[11:19] they're going to go nuclear and there's nothing anybody is going to do about it.  It's just pomp and circumstance
[11:19] amen

01[14:33] <&Threei>  I strongly disagree
01[14:33] <&Threei>  we have no senate in your sense of the word in Canada, and look - we have no legitimate entity to bitch about
01[14:34] <&Threei>  Parliament is the closest substitute but since it doesn't decide much in majority government...

[14:36] you buy votes by giving things
01[14:36] <&Threei>  what other system would work better?
[14:36] and that's good nemo
[14:36] me, as a dictator, would suit me fine
[14:36] it eventually becomes tax and spend, because you eventually get a rich and poor class...middle classes are periodic historical anomalies
01[14:37] <&Threei>  well, yes
[14:37] good, bad, it is what is
01[14:37] <&Threei>  benevolent dictator is a great thing, with one revervation

[15:46] madonna doesn't look that stupid

Market Week Wrap-up

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market Update: Fed Confounds Expectations on QE Taper; Summers Steps Aside



- Two Fed-related surprises drove the market action this week. First, on Sunday, Larry Summers withdrew from the Fed Chairman selection process, setting off a risk-on rally based on expectations that the more dovish and collegial Janet Yellen was again the frontrunner to replace Chairman Bernanke. Then on Wednesday, the FOMC surprised markets by deciding not to reduce monthly asset purchases under its QE3 program. Coming into the week, the consensus view was that the Fed would announce a reduction of $10-15B in asset purchases (to $70-75B a month) at the Wednesday FOMC meeting. After the decision, Bernanke said unemployment remains at unacceptable levels and economic data does not yet warrant a reduction in asset purchases. Global equity markets moved sharply higher after the decision and sovereign bond yields dropped, with the yield on the 10-year UST falling as low as 2.67% after just about touching 3.00% in the prior week. Gold has gained more than 6% in the aftermath of the Fed announcement, with spot gold trading as high as $1,370. The US data out this week was mixed, with relatively strong Empire and Philadelphia Fed manufacturing surveys, while initial weekly jobless claims are poised to drop below 300K. August existing home sales hit another six-year high, although the August housing starts and building permits did not quite rise to high expectations. Some of the market gains after the Fed surprise on Wednesday were erased by Friday, in part due to the Fed denting its credibility with the markets. For the week, the DJIA gained 0.6%, the S&P500 rose 1.3% and the Nasdaq added 1.4%.

- For sharp observers, the Fed's decision to hold pat on QE should not have been terribly surprising. Chairman Bernanke and the full spectrum of Fed officials have reiterated for three months that any decision to taper would be primarily data-driven, and there was a minority view among analysts that recent data softness might stay the Fed's hand. In retrospect, the decision to hold was even less surprising given the growing likelihood of a fiscal crackup in Washington later this month. Many observers commented that Bernanke appeared to downplay the 7% unemployment threshold after he neglected to mention the level until asked about it in the press conference by a journalist. Bernanke responded by saying there is "no magic number" the Fed is looking at for tapering and ending QE. The sole dissenter in the decision, Ester George, did say that the taper should have begun this month as waiting for more good data unnecessarily discounts very real economic progress, and warned that Fed credibility is now at risk. Now the focus is on whether the taper will begin at the next FOMC conclave in October or the December meeting, or later.

- Larry Summers removed himself from consideration to succeed Chairman Bernanke, citing high likelihood of an "acrimonious" confirmation process. Congressional opposition to Summers had been gradually building over the summer, and late last week a brace of key US senators said they would vote against his confirmation if he were selected. The move left Janet Yellen as the de-facto front-runner, although there was talk that former Fed vice chairman, Don Kohn, was also in the running.

- With Congress racing toward the end of the federal government's fiscal year on September 30, the deadline to avert a government shutdown, the House GOP continued to place roadblocks in the way of short-term budget extension. Democratic and Republican Congressional leaders traded rhetorical barbs all week long but there was no substantial progress in resolving the budget standoff. On Friday, the House passed a bill with a short-term extension of government funding that would also defund Obamacare. Senate Majority Leader Reid said the House bill was dead on arrival in the Senate, and Speaker Boehner indicated he fully expected the political wrangling over the stopgap spending bill would stretch at least into next weekend.

- Over the weekend, the US and Russia agreed to a plan to corral Syria's chemical weapons that gave the Assad regime one week to disclose a comprehensive listing of stockpiles and requires it to allow inspectors to complete weapons liquidation by mid-2014. By Friday Damascus had submitted an "initial disclosure" of its chemical weapons program to the UN. WTI crude futures dropped to their lowest levels since before the August 21st chemical weapons attack, closing out trade on Friday below $105/barrel.

- The German parliamentary elections are set for this weekend, pitting Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative CDU/CSU and FDP coalition against a leftist coalition led by the SPD. Last Sunday, Merkel allies won a strong victory in the Bavarian state election, which also saw increasing support for the anti-euro AfD party. The latest polls suggest the CDU/CSU block should take about 40% of the vote, although the FDP is polling right around 5%, the threshold for getting any seats in the Bundestag. If FDP misses the threshold for representation, Merkel will face the difficult choices of forming a new coalition with the troublesome anti-euro AfD party or a grand coalition with her old rival, the SPD.

- With the fall earnings season now on the horizon, firms have begun offering Q3 profit warnings. Manufacturer Rockwell Collins offered a terrible FY14 view on the assumption that the sequester is here to stay. Shares of Outerwall (formerly known as Coinstar) dropped sharply on Monday after the firm trimmed its financial targets for the current quarter and the full year. Trucker Werner Enterprises offered a Q3 outlook that fell well short of the consensus view, citing a wide range of issues. Steel names Nucor, Steel Dynamics and AK Steel all offered Q3 guidance, although only the latter offered a divergent view, which was way below consensus. Friday afternoon, Blackberry confirmed it would slash over 30% of its workforce and reported preliminary Q2 results far below expectations, blaming it on weak demand for the new Z10, its entrant into the high end touchscreen smartphone market.

- Currency markets moved primarily off of the Fed announcement this week. EUR/USD held very steady around 1.3350 into the decision and then rose more than two big figures to trade just shy of 1.3570 on Thursday morning, before settling down to 1.3540 at the end of the week. The yen came into the decision pivoting around 99, then dipped as low as 97.80 on Wednesday and finally rising right back up to around 99.50 on Thursday and into the end of the week.

- The other big central bank news this week was from India, where the RBI surprised markets by hiking its Repurchase Rate by 25 bps to 7.50%.
