01[11:27] {Threei}  most of the names are not in HFT sphere of interest

01[12:35] {Threei}  not really a call, rather one of those excchanges that for a side observer look like typical ay in asylum:

[13:07] {patel} do anyone in here trade premarket?
[13:08] {cipher} not me
[13:09] {cipher} SSYS keeps dumping
[13:10] {cipher} where do you see it going nemo?
01[13:11] {Threei}  premarket sometimes has some tradeable opportunities although risk is much higher and in most cases it's not wirth it. But when you feel that you want 24/7 market - that's when you need to call 1-800-GAMBLE-HELP
[13:12] {jdetente} pre and post are the wild wild west
[13:12] {jdetente} especially during earning
[13:12] {jdetente} s
[13:12] {cipher} make a killing or lose your shirt
[13:12] {cipher} no thanks
[13:13] {cipher} plenty of opportunities during the day
[13:13] {patel} read on CTL
01[13:17] {Threei}  none...
[13:18] {dptl} pay long?
01[13:18] {Threei}  other than C as in cedar, T as in... etc?
01[13:18] {Threei}  pay whom?
[13:19] {nemo} sorry stepped away
[13:20] {nemo} give me a few minutes cipher
[13:23] {cipher} k
[13:25] {dptl} GMCR .10 short if holds .20
[13:27] {dptl} oh..though it broke got .10
[13:27] {nemo} 71 area has support then 70.60ish and 69.65 with the caveat of the whole number natural support
[13:27] {cipher} thx
[13:28] {dptl} stopped
01[13:29] {Threei}  I would call your eagerness to tarde and trade and trade with no pause for air unstoppable... but it would be wrong wrod
[13:30] {nemo} 71.58 is s2 on the daily with VWAP above 73.10, so you could get a bottom here, but I would definitely want to see a trend break cipher
01[13:31] {Threei}  totally random moves everywhere for the last hour or two... no trend, no drive, just bobbing listlessly
01[13:31] {Threei}  why push and take one papercut after another?
[13:33] {dptl} you right Vad....i have to review my whole trading....i am not going anywhere, just getting more frustrating ...
01[13:33] {Threei}  we spoke about it not more than 2 days ago... it's like one good day erases your memory of what made previous days bad
01[13:34] {Threei}  don't review your whole trading... pinpoint those bad habits that undermine your performance and get rid of them
01[13:34] {Threei}  you have solid basic understanding
01[13:34] {Threei}  you have no solid basic self-control
[13:36] {dptl} yeah...it's like not me most of the time...and when i wake up it's usualy to late....over and over again....dont know how to get rid of it
01[13:38] {Threei}  why don't you give a Taoist Trader second run, this time really reading and thinking how it applies to you
01[13:39] {Threei}  first time you went through motion
01[13:39] {Threei}  as if it were a required reading in school... done, over, fulfilled obligation, can forget
[13:41] {dptl} i didt read it yet...dont even have it, should get it probably
01[13:42] {Threei}  ummm
01[13:42] {Threei}  you do
[13:43] {cipher} ssys s.40
01[13:43] {Threei}  check your e-mail
[13:44] {thomcbell} hi guys had to step out for a bit
[13:45] {cipher} cov .10 +.30
[13:47] {nemo} cipher...wtf
[13:47] {thomcbell} bbry unreal move
[13:48] {cipher} I know nemo... shoot me pls
01[13:48] {Threei}  careful cipher, nemo doesn't make you ask twice
[13:49] {nemo} too messy, I'll just garotte you...nice and quick
[13:50] {nemo} ese get's the Mongolian technique...that's frickin' painful
[13:50] {cipher} so ssys going to 70
[13:51] {nemo} this .60 area was a next possibility, then you'll get a whole number test at 70, one would think, but 71 didn't, and then 69.60ish
[13:51] {nemo} that's one messy daily though, sheesh
[13:52] {cipher} yep
[13:53] {nemo} some reason I think it bouttoms out in the 68-69 area
[13:54] {nemo} whaddya think cipehr, almost to the penny it bounces  ;-)
[13:54] {cipher} wow that was quick
[13:55] {cipher} no chance
[13:55] {nemo} look at that
[13:55] {cipher} had to wait with live order
[13:55] {nemo} hehehehehehehe
[13:55] {nemo} yep
[13:55] {nemo} too frickin' funny, huh?
[13:55] {cipher} you're a psychic
[13:56] {nemo} no, just read the chart
[13:56] {nemo} psycho....one could make an argument
[13:56] {nemo} ask will
[13:56] {Will49} oh yeah
[13:56] {nemo} would you like to comment Will?
[13:57] {Will49} my lips are sealed
[13:57] {Will49} our secret nemo
[13:57] {nemo} ;-)
[13:58] {cipher} SSYS L.81
[13:58] {Will49} if I could trade like you nemo, I'd gladly don a straight jacket
[13:58] {cipher} out .32 +.53
[13:58] {nemo} vwap decending from 72.70, I would expect it to finally meet up somewhere in between
[13:59] {Will49} no disrespect Vad. Gotta learn your system cold
[13:59] {cipher} damn should have listened to nemo
[14:00] {cipher} too soon again
[14:00] {nemo} well, I would have partialled where you did, but this is the test area of old support, gets through, it gets to vwap
[14:01] {nemo} btw will...don't confuse my mapping of a chart with trading two different things
[14:01] {Will49} yeah?
[14:02] {nemo} is that a question, or a confirmation of my statement
[14:02] {nemo} ?
[14:02] {Will49} question
[14:03] {Will49} you didn't take that SSYS trade?
[14:03] {nemo} trading is entering and managing an actual trade...all I did was analyze the chart, which is a valid skill, and then point out places of inflection
[14:03] {Will49} I see
[14:09] {nemo} Now cipher is right,  no way to get long on that at the bottom and it actually bottomed .05 above my target, so if you were short, you would have had to have a cover order in place, or a buy order to go long.
[14:10] {dptl} clf .45 short?
01[14:11] {Threei}  not sure
01[14:11] {Threei}  chart is right, market is not really clear
[14:12] {nemo} plus you have the open and close at the .30ish level, not much room
[14:13] {nemo} talking about clf on that last comment
01[14:13] {Threei}  right
[14:15] {cipher} XONE L .86
[14:15] {nemo} wow, fresh meat?
[14:16] {cipher} out .00 +.14

[14:26] {nemo} ssys went up and kissed vwap and then dropped to support
01[14:27] {Threei}  one powerful kiss that vwap has...
[14:28] {jdetente} kiss of death
[14:28] {Will49} a kiss is still a kiss

Feb 12 2013

Interesting day for us - first one in almost 3 weeks where we haven't finished in black. Not unhappy with it though - we started with solidly red morning, and then methodically and carefully clawed our way back in to flat or just very slightly in red. Can't win them all so gotta make sure you handle losing days right - in cold blood, minimizing damage and making sure there is no lasting scars. Tomorrow is a new day.

01[12:45] {Threei}  most of those you look at have none

01[12:45] {Threei}  or have very low volume

01[12:45] {Threei}  or very narrow range

01[12:45] {Threei}  or too wide spreads and tiny sizes

01[12:45] {Threei}  be more picky

01[12:45] {Threei}  set your scanner p[arameters tighter

01[12:49] {Threei}  he didn't even live in Winnipeg

[12:49] {Will49} close!

01[12:49] {Threei}  no survival skills for Siberia

[12:49] {dino} dp, for most part noon until 1 pm est sucks for trades

[12:52] {nemo} hah, love this:  "One of the tests is they make you dive to the bottom of a pool and tie five knots," the Shooter says. "One guy got to the fifth knot and blacked out underwater. We pulled him up and he was, like, dead. They made the class face the fence while they tried to resuscitate him. The first words as he spit out water were 'Did I pass? Did I tie the fifth knot?' The instructor 

[12:52] {nemo} told him, 'We didn't want to find out if you could tie the knots, you asshole, we wanted to know how hard you'd push yourself. You killed yourself. You passed.'"

[12:52] {dino} lol

01[12:52] {Threei}  sheesh

01[12:52] {Threei}  lol

[12:55] {nemo} love this part too: It is important to him to stress that no women or children were killed in that raid. He also insists that when it came to interrogation, repetitive questioning and leveraging fear was as aggressive as he'd go. "When we first started the war in Iraq, we were using Metallica music to soften people up before we interrogated them," the Shooter says. "Metallica got wind of 

[12:55] {nemo} this and they said, 'Hey, please don't use our music because we don't want to promote violence.' I thought, Dude, you have an album called Kill 'Em All.

01[12:55] {Threei}  heh

01[12:56] {Threei}  decide if you want to sell second half at 1:2 or 1/4

01[12:56] {Threei}  very hard to tell how big of a chance it has to proceed to 1:3

01[12:56] {Threei}  so, how about this:

01[12:57] {Threei}  if selling half makes you flat for the day, do it,

[12:57] {nemo} frickin' VXX just dying

01[12:57] {Threei}  if not yet, sell 1/4 and push for more,

01[12:57] {Threei}  after all we are playing with house money on this trade now

01[12:58] {Threei}  by the way guys, a suggestion and a question

01[12:58] {Threei}  that last week discussion about money management and blog post on it that I linked later on,

01[12:59] {Threei}  do make sure that you read the whole set of articles in the blog, they highlight various aspects of trading approach that we use regularly but rarely discuss,

01[12:59] {Threei}  simply because I take it for granted

01[12:59] {Threei}  and assume that you read the whole thing

01[12:59] {Threei}  so make sure you did.

01[13:00] {Threei}  Now, question

01[13:00] {Threei}  if there are some aspects that require detailed discussion and I failed to write anything about it, point them out

[13:02] {ese} dino.......you were right about it pausing AKAM that is at 36.42

01[13:02] {Threei}  KBH... sheesh

01[13:02] {Threei}  why did we miss this one

[13:02] {ese} still looks like it has room to go though

[13:03] {ese} nice move kbh

[13:03] {ese} 52 week high of some sort vad?

01[13:04] {Threei}  yeah

[13:06] {nemo} like this one:  Even in action, with all their high state of expertise and readiness, "we're normal people. We fall off ladders, land on the wrong roof, get bitten by dogs." In Iraq, a breacher was putting a charge on a door to blow it off its hinges when he mistakenly leaned against the doorbell. He quickly took off the charge and the target opened the door. We were like, "You rang the 

[13:06] {nemo} fucking doorbell?!" Maybe we should try that more often, the Shooter thought to himself.

[13:10] {dino} nemo, what are you reading from?

[13:11] {nemo} http://www.esquire.com/features/man-who-shot-osama-bin-laden-0313-1

01[13:22] {Threei}  look at sizes, it's not that thin

01[13:22] {Threei}  with half lot it's tradeable

[13:23] {dptl} DB sizes are looks almost the same to mee

01[13:23] {Threei}  spread is generally better, gap between levels is tighter

01[13:23] {Threei}  you don't see how much more dense level 2 is on CLH vs DB?

[13:24] {dptl} no not really

01[13:24] {Threei}  come on

The other guy says, "I heard he did it to himself. He was locked up in that house with three wives." Funny terrorists.

01[14:56] {Threei}  pasting as it is, grammar, warts and all

01[14:56] {Threei}  I spent a week in Your room and I read all trading logs so I know you place them online without editing, everything as it was. So, your not cheatin. But I don't understand why your not adding the performance track. What are you hiding?

01[14:57] {Threei}  sigh

[14:57] {dino} dw sm s .27

[14:57] {scottie} yes, what are you hiding ?

01[14:57] {Threei}  my best guess would be:

01[14:58] {Threei}  my lack of desire to indulge his laziness - he can calculate the total just as well, right?

[14:58] {scottie} lol

01[14:58] {Threei}  I am at loss of words

01[14:59] {Threei}  guy sees all the calls, compares them to the log,

01[14:59] {Threei}  he knows logs are 100% as it happened in the room, no editing

01[14:59] {Threei}  but he still searching for what I am hiding?

01[14:59] {Threei}  good luck finding that buddy

01[14:59] {Threei}  you have a lifelong quest

[15:00] {jdetente} he must have trouble adding in .10 intervals 

[15:00] {jdetente} lol

01[15:00] {Threei}  and btw, since you are likely to read this long, I am not editing this out eothert

[15:01] {patel} lol

01[15:01] {Threei}  I don't think there is any single room that does this, posting logs for years

01[15:02] {Threei}  yet someone always suspects you cheat somehow

01[14:51] {Threei}  as if nothing bad can happen anymore, we can only climb

[14:51] {nemo} yeah, but there was 2 years of complacency in 02-04

01[14:51] {Threei}  meanwhile, there are so many things that can go horribly wrong at any moment

[14:52] {nemo} Obama was re-elected, what can go worse

01[14:52] {Threei}  02-04 markret was at the bottom, you goof

01[14:52] {Threei}  now it's at the top
