Aug 15 2013

Second 1:3er in first 30 min, first being C short. Variation of a Kangaroo tail reversal.

And one more, third in one morning:

Christmas come early?

Needless to say, with 4 1:3ers this day had no chance to be anything less than spectacular.

[10:29] {+cc_9} .70s first little wall on SPY
[10:30] {dino} ugaz spike
[10:33] {+cc_9} anyone here goes on LiveLeak for actual reality that media won't show ?
[10:33] {+cc_9} some stuff out of Egypt yesterday on LiveLeak looks very similar to Syria
[10:33] {+cc_9} Gov using snipers and police in civilian gear and saying they are the opposition, nuts
[10:34] {nemo} SOP  Hitler did it to start the invasion of Poland
[10:34] {nemo} Israel did it to start the 7 day war
[10:34] {nemo} We did it to start the Vietnam war
[10:35] {+cc_9} I wonder how long before the MB gets its first shipment of arms from Libya, the light weapons walmart of north Africa.
[10:39] {RonS} ...does this guy have a clue?...President Obama calls on protesters to act peacefully, says authorities should respect right of peaceful protest
[10:39] {+cc_9} send them tanks, tell them to be peaceful
[10:40] {nemo} of course he does  the sheep need to hold still so they can be shot
01[10:40] {&Threei}  he does now: "hey, this gives me a clue, maybe ousting Mubarak wasn't such a good idea..."
[10:41] {+cc_9} Mubarak is still in power
[10:42] {+cc_9} calling the shots from his club med joint
[10:42] {nemo} frickin' tsla
[10:42] {+cc_9} What most people don't realize is that Egypt's military controls all subsidies : food, heating gas, petrol etc...
01[10:42] {&Threei}  out of a few tin dictators of the region he pushed out the one who kept relative order and peace, and left well alone those who instill chaos and provoke war

01[10:47] {&Threei}  President Obama announces cancellation of upcoming 'Bright Star' joint US-Egyptian military exercise
01[10:47] {&Threei}  up to this point it was a go, eh?
[10:47] {nemo} optics
[10:48] {+cc_9} They need more Killdozer joint exercise
[10:49] {+cc_9} I know this is far fetched, but at one point, Egypt might contemplate leasing the pyramids...Suez can't pay for it all
[10:49] {+cc_9} Saudi can pressure Qatar to cut its loans to Egypt
[10:50] {nemo} pyramids were a Jewish plot
[10:51] {RonS} lol
01[10:51] {&Threei}  no go... too bad, looked very tempting and started out nicely
[10:57] {+cc_9} SPY going for another test
[10:57] {nemo} huge frickin' volume spike XLF
[10:58] {+cc_9} see it
[10:59] {+cc_9} SPY dodged the LOD bullet for now

[11:13] {+cc_9} giddy up
[11:14] {+cc_9} 166.75 wall test as expected.
[11:14] {nemo} vwap and price resistance
01[11:14] {&Threei}  giddy down?
[11:14] {+cc_9} No, it was a wall test, it gets through it, volume is there
01[11:17] {&Threei}  yeah, giddy up
[11:17] {+cc_9} SPY levels that I have for today : http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/9199/wjmf.jpg
01[11:17] {&Threei}  thern there probably is giddy sideways...
[11:18] {+cc_9} id like to first get the giddy up to 167 then the giddy sideways
[11:19] {+cc_9} @ wall, needs to crack. Vol still behind it...for 11:20AM, its half decent

[13:13] {+cc_9} This loks like some serious liquidation
[13:13] {nemo} get ready to throw the women and children overboard
[13:13] {nemo} sharks gotta' eat too
[13:14] {+cc_9} .30 so far holding SPY
[13:14] {nemo} some serious volume coming in
[13:15] {+cc_9} .20 last intraday support, below that its a toilet flush
[13:17] {+cc_9} SPY ~ triple intraday bottom for now, confirmation is above 166.70
[13:18] {+cc_9} not a full day for 1:20PM
[13:19] {+cc_9} I have a feeling we're about to see a wild print, either a stop eater sub 166.20 or a fast push to reverse the trend
[13:19] {+cc_9} volume picking up still
[13:20] {nemo} oh the melodrama
[13:22] {+cc_9} DIA already hitting fresh lows
[13:22] {+cc_9} IWM few cents shy, SPY fighting for that 166.20
[13:25] {dino} spy gap 165.20
[13:25] {nemo} yeah, but I would expect a bounce off the whole today
[13:27] {+cc_9} thats what I thought yesterday too, before we had a that nose dive and crash after hours
[13:27] {nemo} what time it crash?
[13:27] {+cc_9} but yes today looks like slight "capitulation" from yesterday, bounce is over due. Nothing crazy, at best 167.50
[13:28] {+cc_9} SPY went down another $0.30 after hours yesterday
[13:29] {+cc_9} IWM @ LOD, spy still hanging
[13:29] {dino} need another % imo, dji only down 2.5%, s/p 2.3%. usually 3.5% then bounce
[13:29] {nemo} monthly pivot iwm 102.04
[13:34] {RonS} nemo re retweet by northman:  because they have re-defined it into oblivion...
[13:34] {nemo} yep
[13:35] {nemo} I guess food and fuel don't count  not to mention if you can't afford steak, you'll buy hamburg.  If you can't afford hamburg, you'll buy dog food
[13:35] {dino} hmmm, was thinking hotdogs
[13:35] {nemo} so, that type of substitution is not considered in inflation
[13:35] {nemo} I wouldn't feed my dog hotdogs
[13:36] {nemo} .65-.74 key area for spy
[13:36] {dino} funny thing, my dog will not eat bologna
[13:36] {nemo} I can confirm rabbits LOVE raisins
[13:42] {+cc_9} SPY the suspense is getting lame
[13:43] {nemo} gdx at amptjer ga[
[13:43] {nemo} another gap
[13:45] {+cc_9} SPY trying, IWm slight lag, should get a delayed push
[13:47] {nemo} oh bummmer...the keyboardist from the Blue Oyster Cult died
[13:48] {+cc_9} GDX up 5 days out of the past 6...impressive.
[13:48] {nemo} 35% off the bottom
[13:51] {dino} aegr stop

[13:55] {nemo} that's a ballsy call
01[13:57] {&Threei}  1:1
[13:59] {+cc_9} IWM poking its head out ahead of SPY, first time today
[14:08] {nemo} oh boy
[14:15] {nemo} gap hell...release the hounds of war!!!!
[14:30] {+cc_9} SPY stop eater triggered, back to near 166.70
[14:39] {nemo} pretty good spy volume today
01[14:40] {&Threei}  yup, picks up
01[14:40] {&Threei}  9% above 3-months ave
01[14:40] {&Threei}  no wonfer we get 4 1:3ers
01[14:40] {&Threei}  wonder either
01[14:40] {&Threei}  and one of them actually went to 1:12
[14:41] {+cc_9} anyone dare to call the SPY close ?
[14:42] {+cc_9} we're about to test that 166.70 once again
[14:42] {nemo} red
[14:42] {+cc_9} I was thinking more along the lines of spy closes @ xxx.xx
[14:42] {nemo} one would think they would want to try and close it above 167 at a minimum
[14:44] {+cc_9} IWM trying
[14:47] {+cc_9} 166.70 denied again on SPY
[14:48] {nemo} rejection at vwap not good from an institutional point of view
[14:49] {+cc_9} PHM wowza
[14:58] {+cc_9} TOL nonstop since 10:00AM data
[14:59] {nemo} interesting, algo only has stocks on green side yet indexes not moving
[15:00] {nemo} spy volume
[15:00] {nemo} oops guess it was a mistake
[15:07] {+cc_9} another I-H&S on 5min SPY starting from 12:30PM
[15:10] {+cc_9} on triple digit down days, we tend to bounce around this time, especially coming from a sell-off yesterday. Mixed signals on various timeframes, can't read it other than watch the trendlines set on the SPY chart.
[15:11] {nemo} one would expect short covering, but this this range since 10:00 may have covered it
[15:12] {nemo} look at finnies iwm and spy, last assault on vwap unsuccessful
[15:12] {+cc_9} Back to the 166.20 test on SPY, IWM failing faster
[15:13] {nemo} H&S on spy if you look from 10:00 am on
[15:13] {nemo} this spy low here monthly pivot to the penny
[15:14] {nemo} xlf volume spikes
[15:15] {nemo} Here's a clean chart: https://twitter.com/newsagg/status/368088547330244608/photo/1
[15:15] {nemo} wtf
[15:15] {+cc_9} bunch of nonsense
[15:16] {nemo} my eyes can't take it
[15:16] {nemo} Vad's an Ichimoku groupie
[15:16] {nemo} kinda' good thing he can't reach me
[15:18] {+cc_9} LODs starting to flash
[15:18] {nemo} lo ticker's moving
[15:19] {+cc_9} SPY big candle about to form on the 5min
[15:19] {+cc_9} wick to wick should be about $0.25
01[15:20] {&Threei}  chart where you can't at once see what line is the price should be destriyed and its author culled
[15:20] {+cc_9} LOD stop eater algo on standby
[15:20] {+cc_9} VXX @ highs
[15:20] {nemo} think they save that spy gap for another day
[15:21] {+cc_9} SPY testing 166.20 for the 5th time today
[15:21] {nemo} like a Thai hooker with ghonnorhea
[15:21] {nemo} mmmhhh, where'd that come from?
[15:21] {+cc_9} highest volume bar on 5min SPY since 2:10PM
[15:22] {nemo} look xlf
[15:22] {dino} speaking of hookers, look at the spread on regn, .40
[15:22] {nemo} well, if the proverbial short covering is going to commence
[15:22] {nemo} clap...
[15:22] {nemo} I can't....
[15:22] {nemo} tight, huh?
[15:23] {nemo} pretty good battle here on spy
[15:23] {+cc_9} massive volume SPY = 0 action
[15:23] {+cc_9} cant even clear .40
[15:24] {+cc_9} get that order flow, get the suckers, buy the dip, etc....
[15:24] {nemo} oh oh
[15:24] {+cc_9} aaaaaaand headfake
[15:24] {nemo} slammed that right back down
[15:25] {nemo} might be trying to shake the longs before it goes
[15:25] {+cc_9} already shook them 4 times
[15:26] {nemo} yeah, was thinking the short covering meme
[15:26] {+cc_9} and those who bot the close yesterday for a reversal, well, still in
[15:26] {+cc_9} unless they hit the bids on that 10AM capitulation
[15:26] {nemo} an inverted hammmer, then a doji, what now
[15:27] {+cc_9} we should be ripping 50 points fast either direction, not this bs wash trading
01[15:28] {&Threei} Short Setup: GDX  .10 break

[15:30] {+cc_9} Paulson told investors last month to hold gold, this month he dumped 50% his position
[15:30] {RonS} ...shocked there is gambling in this establishment
[15:30] {+cc_9} IWM major lag
[15:30] {+cc_9} it actually just downticked while the SPY just pushed near .50
[15:31] {+cc_9} what a dog
[15:31] {nemo} Of all the gin joints
[15:31] {+cc_9} IWM volume spike on 5min
[15:32] {+cc_9} unreal...SPY prints near 166.50, IWM downticks
[15:32] {nemo} spy dropped the .45 this isn't looking good...cut up the women and children for chum
[15:32] {+cc_9} Even the DIA and the Qs upticked along, more pressure on the small caps
[15:33] {nemo} use your shift key
[15:33] {nemo} I can hear Vad now, "Oh Nemo, wtf..."
[15:34] {+cc_9} IWM @ LOD
[15:37] {nemo} is today op ex Thursday?
[15:37] {RonS} could call it that...
[15:38] {nemo} great TweetOfGod
[15:38] {dino} yes
[15:38] {nemo} the tweet?
[15:39] {+cc_9} Once again, all the move will be during the last 2 minutes, another EOD trap
[15:39] {+cc_9} lame...really lame
[15:40] {+cc_9} IWM fresh lows SPY $0.20 off
[15:41] {Alexs} Are you in GDX trade Vad?
01[15:41] {&Threei}  yes
01[15:41] {&Threei}  should have partialed near 30 but missed it
01[15:43] {&Threei}  half out
01[15:43] {&Threei}  stop .11
[15:44] {+cc_9} bottom to top of candle SPY in last 30 minutes ? $0.10
[15:44] {+cc_9} if this was all the bounce, its pathetic
[15:45] {+cc_9} anything sub 167.40 is a pathetic close
01[15:45] {&Threei}  the best day in the whole summer I think
[15:46] {Alexs} No best day was 7/31
[15:46] {nemo} 167  cc?
01[15:46] {&Threei}  ok... second best
[15:46] {Alexs} lol
[15:47] {+cc_9} 167.40 was pre-market range nemo
[15:47] {+cc_9} for a reversal, needs at least a close @ or above 167.40
[15:48] {+cc_9} we were unable to get/stay above 166.70 since 1PM. All we had was a $0.50 range with both top and bottom testing twice
01[15:50] {&Threei}  ok guys, thank you all
01[15:50] {&Threei}  have a great evening, see you tomorrow
[15:50] {+cc_9} Here is the same SPY chart from earlier, but updated : http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/1865/eyxe.jpg
[15:50] {nemo} morituri te salutamos
[15:51] {nemo} didn't work cc
[15:51] {+cc_9} http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/1865/eyxe.jpg
[15:51] {+cc_9} click the square, even if shows broken it will open
[15:52] {+cc_9} just hosted
[15:52] {+cc_9} http://miburl.com/YyLqWI
[15:53] {+cc_9} works now ?
[15:53] {nemo} yep
[15:54] {+cc_9} last lap, now we get direction
[15:56] {+cc_9} Small caps ticking ahead
[15:56] {+cc_9} IWM small pop ahead of S&P

Aug 14 2013

Another day in the office - solidly profitable and boring. What else is new. While CREE, DE etc delivered some entertainment, our usual breadmakers delivered profits.

Session Time: Wed Aug 14 00:00:00 2013
[08:55] {dino} gm
01[08:55] {&Threei}  morning dino

01[09:00] {&Threei}  rofl
[09:01] {RonS} tepid reaction to DE beat
[09:02] {RonS} classic...$M feeling good about back to school…. Adding inventory…. Annnnd we’re going to miss 2nd half” - Macy’s release
01[09:03] {&Threei}  never ppst negative press-release withiout adding some fluff that would allow bagholders to find something to feel good about
[09:07] {+cc_9} Good morning
01[09:08] {&Threei}  cc9 :)
[09:08] {+cc_9} Airlines on the menu today ?
[09:10] {RonS} airlines trading like market expects rule of 3 w/ UPS crash being number 1...on the other hand w/ their stocks crashing yest maybe that's no. 2...
[09:16] {+cc_9} Complete chaos in Egypt today

[09:16] {RonS} Egypt's stock exchange, banks to close on Thursday following violence, official says
[09:17] {+cc_9} public transportation closed also

[09:18] {RonS} next up...O sends Egypt mo' money...
01[09:19] {&Threei}  miss mubarak yet?
[09:20] {+cc_9} Its not really "aid" when the money sent comes with strings attached that forces Egypt's military to use it only to buy American weapons. That money basically comes back in the pockets of defense contractors...
[09:20] {+cc_9} (in other words, US tax payers are indirectly paying the weapons manufacturers)

[09:33] {+cc_9} DE beat on report, tanking

01[09:38] {&Threei}  If holds  .32
[09:40] {+cc_9} } $83 DE

01[09:43] {&Threei}  ty
[09:45] {+cc_9} FB nice comeback from yesterday EOD sell-off

[09:47] {Alexs} k
[09:47] {robbers} Out C in full, thanks.
01[09:47] {&Threei}  :)
[09:47] {dino} cree lod
[09:50] {nemo} DE probably gonna drop .50
[09:51] {+cc_9} DE unreal
[09:53] {+cc_9} DE will be trading its entire avg daily volume by 10:30AM
[09:53] {+cc_9} some dip buyers stepping in again @ 82 area
01[09:53] {&Threei} Short Setup: GDX  .90 break
01[09:53] {&Threei}  If holds  .95
01[09:54] {&Threei}  Invalidated
01[09:56] {&Threei} Short Setup: GDX  28 break
01[09:56] {&Threei}  If holds  .06
[09:57] {+cc_9} DE just cant seem to hold any level
01[09:58] {&Threei}  looks like stabilized here, DE
[09:58] {+cc_9} Needs to get through 82.50 and hold that bid
[09:59] {+cc_9} #s were good, guidance was good, pre-market high pushed near $87
[09:59] {nemo} wow look how tight the indexes are
[09:59] {dino} whining about corn crop, fwiw
[09:59] {dino} de sm l .30
01[09:59] {&Threei}  no go GDX
[10:00] {dino} cree .60 wall, trigger imo
[10:00] {+cc_9} DE repeating same pattern as earlier $83 wall, now 82.50 wall
[10:02] {+cc_9} IF DE was near daily highs, I would understand the drop...but its not
01[10:05] {&Threei} Long Setup:  BBRY  .20 break
01[10:05] {&Threei}  If holds  .15
01[10:05] {&Threei}  (can't believe I am calling this POS long, lol)
[10:06] {+cc_9} out DE, what a piece of crap
[10:06] {+cc_9} will reload if another bounce over $82
[10:06] {nemo} not if you were short
01[10:07] {&Threei}  and it's immediately proving that it is POS
[10:07] {Alexs} lol
[10:07] {+cc_9} i wonder how DE would have traded had they reported an earnings loss and lower guidance...
[10:07] {nemo} they would have been up
[10:09] {+cc_9} stop loss triggers, stock double bottoms
[10:09] {+cc_9} blah...
[10:11] {RonS} only 1 block trade in de thus far...
[10:13] {+cc_9} in 45 minutes, DE traded its entire avg daily volume
[10:14] {+cc_9} cant even get through 82, what a damn shame
[10:14] {+cc_9} id like to revisit the long side, but all this volume and no confidence....
01[10:14] {&Threei} Long Setup:  TZA  .05 break
01[10:15] {&Threei}  If holds  25
[10:17] {+cc_9} DE bids falling, too close to LOD
01[10:17] {&Threei}  looks very breakdownish
[10:18] {+cc_9} the pop early near 83 was its biggest chance for a reversal as it brought it more bounce players
[10:18] {+cc_9} its gonna take some time now
[10:19] {+cc_9} will get back in 82
[10:19] {+cc_9} back in DE
01[10:20] {&Threei}  need SPY to lose .20
01[10:21] {&Threei}  oh boy... what a beautiful e-mail I've got
01[10:21] {&Threei}  exceeds all I quoted before
01[10:21] {&Threei}  wait till we are clear of trades and market activity dies down, you'll love this one
01[10:21] {&Threei}  meh TZA
[10:23] {+cc_9} ok DE....lets get this bounce going
[10:24] {nemo} 82.60 ish might be the limit
[10:24] {dino} cc9 target de?
[10:24] {dino} thinking 83
[10:24] {nemo} yep possible, would take some off at .60
[10:25] {+cc_9} I'm still aiming for $84
[10:25] {+cc_9} i know...crazy
[10:25] {+cc_9} but in all reality, the #s were solid and so was the guidance, i cannot find anything about this drop
[10:25] {dino} i can see that too
[10:25] {nemo} I hear that solvent rational quote going through my head
[10:25] {+cc_9} As I said, this drop would have made sense if the stock was trading near daily highs and today we see profit taking, but that was not the case.
[10:26] {nemo} nice grammar there 9
[10:27] {+cc_9} were*
[10:27] {+cc_9} w/e
[10:27] {+cc_9} DE 82.80s
01[10:27] {&Threei}  we're
[10:27] {nemo} no..."As I said"
[10:27] {+cc_9} pushing $83 at last
[10:28] {+cc_9} Moment of truth, $83 was a major wall
01[10:30] {&Threei} Long Setup:  MCD  .10 break
01[10:30] {&Threei}  If holds  96
01[10:30] {&Threei}  aggressive for .20
[10:30] {+cc_9} DE can't see a slowdown here, need 83.20
[10:31] {+cc_9} come on....
[10:32] {+cc_9} damn it , how many times does it need to test 83
[10:32] {nemo} that's it, back down
[10:32] {nemo} double top short setup
[10:32] {nemo} has to hold here vwap and support
[10:33] {+cc_9} that drop from 83 was on tiny volume...go figure.
[10:33] {nemo} interesting...price resistance but technical at 34 ema on 3 min
[10:34] {+cc_9} one desk is buying, another is dumping
[10:34] {nemo} spy holding under vwap,  needs to hold above daily pivot or we likely test 169
[10:36] {nemo} wow gdx running
[10:36] {+cc_9} meanwhile IWM has a nice range
[10:37] {+cc_9} 104.22 - 104.52 so far
[10:37] {nemo} a whole .38 cents
[10:38] {+cc_9} which translates to a nice $0.50 on TNA
[10:38] {RonS} DE:  "Analysts believe past quarter marked peak of current farm cycle"
[10:39] {+cc_9} Not in Brazil.
01[10:40] {&Threei}  come on MCD
01[10:40] {&Threei}  break and run
01[10:40] {&Threei}  so we could flip you
01[10:40] {&Threei}  (yeah, I borrowed cc9's horrible joke)
01[10:40] {&Threei}  (because mine are even worse)
[10:41] {nemo} here comes the 169 test, which means we'll bounce, because you gotta' turn around at 69
01[10:41] {&Threei}  what is it, contest of bad jokes?
[10:42] {RonS} ...there is worse and there is worser...
01[10:42] {&Threei}  because if it is, I'll be a judge
[10:42] {nemo} no...I would never think of challenging you Vad
01[10:42] {&Threei}  right
[10:42] {+cc_9} DE catching some bids, slowly, volume drying up for now (avg daily already traded)
[10:42] {nemo} Ron, I don't think there is "worser"
01[10:42] {&Threei}  no one's joke can be worser than mine, mine are the wortstest
01[10:43] {&Threei}  come on nemo... without worser how do you get to worstest?
[10:43] {+cc_9} IWM held its intraday support
[10:43] {nemo} 104.19 yesterday's pivot
[10:44] {+cc_9} big volume IWM
[10:44] {RonS} stupid q of the day:  how is it that worsted wool is the best wool there is?
[10:44] {+cc_9} biggest volume bar since open actually
[10:44] {nemo} actually, it's some stuff made from a South American animal
01[10:45] {&Threei}  you'd think it was destined to be a winner ron... but wait for the e-mail I'll post
[10:45] {nemo} O.K, How do you catch a unique bird?
[10:45] {nemo}   U   nique up on him...
01[10:46] {&Threei}  we might have a winner...
[10:46] {nemo} any coffee spitters?
[10:46] {nemo} that was courtesy  of my long dead grandmother
[10:46] {RonS} trying to figure if that is a 2nd or 5th grade joke...
01[10:46] {&Threei}  pre-school
[10:46] {nemo} depends on whether you're in the innercity
[10:47] {RonS} lol
[10:47] {+cc_9} DE back under $82...jeez
[10:48] {+cc_9} trading as if downgrades are pouring in
01[10:48] {&Threei}  Invalidated  MCD
[10:48] {nemo} market 9
01[10:48] {&Threei}  too bad, this looked ery promising
[10:48] {+cc_9} nemo, yes, but most of the time earning plays tend to have their own moves regardless of market direction (key word : most)
[10:49] {nemo} well, if you notice, DE moved up with the spy, and then the SPY doubletopped at the same time DE did
01[10:51] {&Threei}  lol:
01[10:51] {&Threei}  ‏@TheTweetOfGod
01[10:51] {&Threei}  I'm so sick of "damning it" for you people. Damn it yourselves, damn it.
01[10:52] {&Threei}  MCD is still on a radar
[10:52] {dino} qiwi drop
01[10:52] {&Threei}  held too well during SPY drop, and that .20 break is real prize
[10:53] {+cc_9} SPY reversing, DE nada
[10:53] {nemo} nichts nyet null zed zip
[10:56] {+cc_9} CREE death grind in full effect
01[10:56] {&Threei}  Attention:  MCD  is valid again
[10:57] {+cc_9} DE turning into an investment
[10:57] {ese} ok ...that was an interesting morning......vad i've been by your house via the highway twice.....5:30 am and just now7:00am....first to take the family to the airport and then go out again because they forgot there i'ds.....they wouldn't let them on the 7:00am flight to Calgary
01[10:58] {&Threei}  wow
[10:58] {ese} got rebooked on the 9 though....should have stopped in for coffee
01[10:58] {&Threei}  can't believe you made it in time
01[10:58] {&Threei}  oh, I see
01[10:59] {&Threei}  not sure about coffee at that time though {G}
01[10:59] {&Threei}  vodka is more likely as it doesn't require preparation time
[10:59] {+cc_9} The TSLA bubble slowly bursting if anyone still tracking this .com
[11:00] {nemo} DE can't get above VWAP
[11:00] {ese} you make strong coffee....i coulda used it
01[11:00] {&Threei}  come on SPY
[11:00] {ese} ok well trading day feels shot.....have no sense of whats going on at this time
[11:11] {+cc_9} DE flat lining
[11:15] {+cc_9} DUST 60min is one scary chart
01[11:16] {&Threei}  1:1q
01[11:16] {&Threei}  now break and run
[11:20] {+cc_9} SPY going, DE stuck
01[11:23] {&Threei}  junk food wprks for us, slowly but surely
01[11:24] {&Threei}  I actually regret not going aggressive on aggressive - buying 96
[11:27] {robbers} Out MCD in full, thank you.
01[11:27] {&Threei}  yw
01[11:27] {&Threei}  not fooling around, are you :)
[11:28] {robbers} As usual.
01[11:29] {&Threei}  ok, while MCD is chewing through levels back and forth...
[11:29] {+cc_9} DE .40s ? no way...
[11:29] {+cc_9} DE .50s ? no way...
01[11:29] {&Threei}  beginning of the e-mail is pretty much a cookie-cutter, nothing oustanding:
01[11:30] {&Threei}  Vad,
01[11:30] {&Threei}  I am 23. I have watched your free videos, read your logs and posts with trades. I really want to learn from u. So here are my questions.
01[11:30] {&Threei}  right?
01[11:30] {&Threei}  hold on to your seats as you read second paragraph
01[11:30] {&Threei}  How do I become room moderator? Where do I need to start to open my trading room? How do I know what stock to call? At what prices? Long or short?
[11:31] {+cc_9} DE .60s, this cant be...
[11:31] {RonS} lol 3i
[11:31] {dino} guess he's taking over
[11:31] {RonS} guy must really be 13...
01[11:32] {&Threei}  I wrote an asnwer but decided not to send it
01[11:32] {&Threei}  so I'll just post it here
01[11:32] {&Threei}  I understand your frustration. I too was shocked when found out that I can’t teach brain surgery without becoming a surgeon myself first. Such an unexpected obstacle. Bummers.
[11:33] {robbers} I think it was Ken Wolf in disguise.
01[11:33] {&Threei}  gosh... that's blast from the past, lol
[11:33] {+cc_9} Refer him to Timothy Sykes so he can learn all he needs to learn first
[11:34] {+cc_9} DE .70s, slow climb
01[11:35] {&Threei}  I am not sure if this is just an individual with serious lack of grey matter, or indicative of a certain culture
01[11:36] {&Threei}  after all, I see "life coaches" created in drives by courses about life coaching
[11:36] {robbers} Yeah, the culture of stupidity.
01[11:36] {&Threei}  never mind that you know zilch about life, you can take a course and become life coach
[11:36] {+cc_9} DE closing in on the wall
01[11:37] {&Threei}  I knew a gal who was going tp teach weight loss... guess whether she was overweight
01[11:37] {&Threei}  but hey, she read 15 books about weight loss
01[11:37] {&Threei}  so why not teach others
[11:38] {robbers} My brother was a marriage councelor without having been married.  And it cured him of any thoughts to do so.
[11:38] {dino} if you can't do it, teach (or write about) it
[11:38] {RonS} lol
01[11:38] {&Threei}  another plan by another gal was to teach people how to get anything they want by applying some spiritual tricks
[11:40] {+cc_9} Did she co-write the book "The Secret" ?
01[11:40] {&Threei}  when I asked her what she was going to answer those who ask why she meets them in 3rd floor apartment of half-wrecked building with 13 yearsd old honda civic in the parking lot, she said:
01[11:40] {&Threei}  well, I am happy with what I have and need nothing more
01[11:40] {&Threei}  no, she read it (or watched movie)
[11:40] {RonS} Henry Ford:  "Those that can, do;  those that can't, teach." (ese can, does, and teaches...what a prince!)
01[11:41] {&Threei}  well, I actually disagree with that saying

[11:45] {bbobr} most of trading coaches, teachers, book writers  have no idea how to trade profitable , including Marc Douglas and other famous
[11:46] {+cc_9} The one strategy that those books are missing is "buy low sell high"
01[11:46] {&Threei}  my experience and multiple encounters with them show this to be true
01[11:46] {&Threei}  what bbobr said I mean
01[11:46] {&Threei}  very few are actually traders
[11:46] {RonS} Kerry has “very frank” talk with Netanyahu about settlements in occupied territories
[11:47] {dino} out cree .00, +.40 took forever
01[11:47] {&Threei}  but when it comes to marketing ability, I am 9 years old among them, so... {G}
01[11:47] {&Threei}  they promise more or less easy money, I promise hard work
[11:47] {RonS} ...which begs the question:  how many centuries ago were the French very frank?...
01[11:47] {&Threei}  who do you think is more popular :)
[11:49] {+cc_9} dino, CCCR half the float already traded
[11:50] {bbobr} their promises match people's dreams better then your's
[11:51] {+cc_9} anyone tracking/trading MNKD today, some very nice swings
[11:52] {+cc_9} decent intraday double bottom
[11:54] {+cc_9} "Egypt's death toll increases to 149, health ministry says - Egyptian president declares state of emergency across Egypt for 1 month starting at 4pm local time

[12:08] {+cc_9} meanwhile, DE trying to uptick, wall still .75 then 83 round

01[14:26] {&Threei}  a lot
01[14:28] {&Threei}  (US) Fed's Bullard: Fed is doing what it can to aid the US recovery; inflation has not appeared so far- There is a lot of risk in the future of higher inflation, Fed must maintain its credibility and hit the 2% inflation target it set for itself. - Actual GDP growth has not been that great in the last 3 quarters. Not seeing much impact from the sequester. - Too big to fail issue remains a large problem, US needs to think about making banks smaller so a failure does not require taxpayer intervention. - Unemployment, inflation, GDP and the size of the balance sheet are the key factors for taper decision. - Size of Fed balance sheet is not too big compared to those of other central banks. - QE program has not had a large impact on the USD thus far, on a trade weighted basis. - Japan is taking risks with its new economic policies. Japan is conducting a huge experiment with monetary policy.

[14:41] {+cc_9} cant read it, volume pours in, we snap back $0.20, next minute we flip and tank $0.30
[14:41] {+cc_9} Add to it the volume @ around 1:30PM
[14:42] {nemo} they're forcing you to take a position in middle distance, which is always a recipe for failure
[14:43] {+cc_9} I don't see we see much buying unless we can get over 169.30, anything below is chart noise
[14:43] {+cc_9} Not long ago, AAPL used to dictate market direction
[14:44] {nemo} algos will move it according to order flow
[14:44] {+cc_9} stocktwits indicator is bearish on SPY, so it would make sense that we head higher
[14:45] {nemo} if they're leaning short in this low volume, algos should push against it
01[14:45] {&Threei} Long Setup:  C  .80 break
01[14:45] {&Threei}  If holds  .75

[14:57] {nemo} I have a low of .69
[14:57] {dino} \.10 goes it may pop
[14:57] {nemo} wow, a higher low
[14:58] {dino} issue is that gap 58.40s
01[14:59] {&Threei}  Egypt is now back in the state of emergency that started during the reign of Ramses II
[15:00] {+cc_9} Most boring 1.5 hours on SPY for days
[15:02] {+cc_9} IWM looks spookie at this level. Lower highs and Lower lows. SPY higher lows. Tough read.

[15:05] {nemo} double top on spy at price resistance
01[15:09] {&Threei}  IMO, spu is about to break 169
[15:10] {+cc_9} it needs to break 169.10 and stay above it
[15:10] {+cc_9} otherwise, more chop and waste of time
01[15:10] {&Threei}  no go CREE
[15:11] {nemo} next stop 58.88, probably 59 if it doesn't bounce here
[15:11] {+cc_9} 169 knock knock

[15:12] {dino} adding cree call for swing

[15:38] {dino} close enough imo
[15:38] {+cc_9} bargain prices became basement prices and now turning into sink hole prices

01[15:43] {&Threei}  if not, leave it be
[15:43] {+cc_9} i got another SPY long trade going here
[15:43] {+cc_9} need 169 thats all

01[15:49] {&Threei}  1:1
01[15:49] {&Threei}  hakf out
01[15:49] {&Threei}  scalpers be happy
[15:51] {nemo} Haven't seen a day like this since....mmmmhhhhh....last August
[15:51] {+cc_9} most are expecting an LOD close, so the algos need to turn on and start buying right here
[15:52] {nemo} they'll go against order flow, might not be any right now
[15:52] {nemo} basically pinned to a deviation around 169
[15:53] {+cc_9} Its been selling since 3:10PM
[15:53] {nemo} or just lack of bidding, don't see any momentum at all
01[15:53] {&Threei}  OK guys, thank you all
01[15:53] {&Threei}  have a good evening
[15:53] {+cc_9} IWM dropping @ a much faster rate

[10:36] {dino} builders getting nailed
[10:38] {+cc_9} SPY stuck @ range, needs to break that 168.75

01[10:47] {&Threei}  moves up haltingly
[10:51] {+cc_9} still think it gets back to yesterday's close
[10:51] {+cc_9} 169.10
[10:55] {+cc_9} any news?
[10:55] {+cc_9} lots of volume/chatter, other than the fed rates, not finding much
01[10:56] {&Threei}  nothing concrete
01[10:56] {&Threei}  more and mopre about taper happening, and soon
01[10:56] {&Threei}  volume is 13% under 3-months average
[10:57] {+cc_9} VXX has not moved much on this SPY drop either
[10:58] {RonS} curious as to why you pay any attention to the vxx?
[10:59] {+cc_9} To gauge volatility
[11:00] {RonS} then why not the vix since it is current
[11:00] {+cc_9} if VXX spiked up on this latest market drop, then people were hedging/betting against the market.
[11:01] {RonS} since the vxx is an average of all futures contracts how can it be a gauge of anything? is it not more important what is happening to specific contracts?
[11:01] {+cc_9} Over the long run there is a clear discrepancy, for intraday, the liquidity/prints on it are slightly clearer than VIX$
[11:02] {+cc_9} IWM back to 10:40s highs, SPY lagging now
[11:02] {RonS} just saying that a derivative of a derivative is really sketchy...imo
[11:05] {RonS} imo if you want a relatively real time reading on the vix futures for all months you should start wacthing the "Sonar Report" daily presentation from the floor of the CBOE via the Optionmonster website

[11:09] {+cc_9} Ron, that is correct and I agree. From a liquidity point of view, it is still an indicator, maybe not as accurate as the underlying $VIX

[11:26] {+cc_9} UAL tanking

[11:41] {dino} used to average 15+ trades/day, trying to keep it under 9
01[11:42] {&Threei}  best line from the article about weight loss I've ever seen: You aren’t going to get the butt you want by sitting on the one you have
[11:43] {+cc_9} initial target on market reversal was 169.10 on SPY, it hit 169.09 on the nose before fading again
[11:43] {+cc_9} UAL fighting hard to put a bottom
[11:43] {dino} reminds me of the wife who asked hubby for boob job, he said rub tp on them, it worked for your ass
01[11:43] {&Threei}  lol
01[11:44] {&Threei}  I am not convinced on UAL...
01[11:44] {&Threei}  low volume bounce
01[11:44] {&Threei}  can easily break down again
[11:44] {dino} slightly higher low, but missing the higher hi
[11:45] {+cc_9} agreed, needs about 31.15 for convincing turn around (UAL)
[11:46] {dino} the progresso and chuncky soups are under-rated. they make a great lunch
[11:47] {+cc_9} UAL some volume
[11:47] {nemo} I like Progresso

[12:31] {+cc_9} funny how when market was melting, stocktwits was full of "told you it would crash!"
[12:31] {+cc_9} now they are magically long
[12:31] {+cc_9} lol cant get enough of that
01[12:31] {&Threei}  1:1
01[12:32] {&Threei}  I enjoy this "we all are winners" chorus for years
01[12:32] {&Threei}  a lot of people guess, then losers remain silent and winners scream on top of their lungs
01[12:32] {&Threei}  market reverses, thwe other side yells, while first one suts up
[12:33] {+cc_9} lol
01[12:33] {&Threei}  so it's like they win all the time
01[12:33] {&Threei}  on one forum there is a guy who makes the same call every year, around the same time:
01[12:34] {&Threei}  earnign season starts, it all tha matters for the nmarket, and it's not going to be pretty, I am short
01[12:34] {&Threei}  every year market goes up, he is nowhere to be seen, then he pops up a year later with the same call
01[12:34] {&Threei}  5 years in a row
[12:36] {+cc_9} when was making bullish calls on the market earlier @ the drop, everyone and their second cousin was screaming "this is the top, we go down from here"
01[12:37] {&Threei}  then there are those "bull market geniuses"
[12:37] {+cc_9} now that market is back where we left off yesterday "was a good time to buy SPY calls on that drop!"
01[12:37] {&Threei}  that make a name by repeating bullish calls during bull market, and continue doing that after market reverses...
01[12:37] {&Threei}  anyone remember the name Chhetah?
01[12:37] {&Threei}  1998 - 2000 hero
[12:37] {+cc_9} theoptiondon Aug. 13 at 10:10 AM $SPY 168 puts @ .61
[12:38] {+cc_9} theoptiondon Aug. 13 at 12:31 PM this market is totally irrational. cant get proper footing in either direction $SPY
[12:38] {+cc_9} this is just an example
01[12:38] {&Threei}  repeated gis "buy any pillback" all the way down after market reversed its tech boom
01[12:39] {&Threei}  one trick ponies...

01[12:44] {&Threei}  (US) Fed's Lockhart (moderate, FOMC non-voter): Any change in QE should be a cautious first step
[12:47] {+cc_9} i.e no change
01[12:48] {&Threei}  - There will not likely be enough data on hand by September to be able to map a full phase-out of QE purchases. - Recent data does not paint a clear picture of the economy. Uneven economic data keeps the Fed from offering specific guidance. - US economy should pick up in the second half of 2013, with stronger consumer spending and housing
01[12:48] {&Threei}  (US) PIMCO's El-Erian: Risk markets are treading water and getting tired; major uncertainties ahead include debt ceiling, taper, new Fed chairman, European elections
[12:49] {+cc_9} UAL .70s support so far working
01[12:49] {&Threei}  speaking of next fed chairman, summers' name sounds more and more often

01[10:32] {&Threei}  they were

01[10:32] {&Threei}  but we are still sympathetic to that pain you experienced during first trades...

01[10:32] {&Threei}  you started two posts with "oww..."

[10:33] {dino} lol, i couldn't figure that out...

01[10:33] {&Threei}  {GGG}

01[10:34] {&Threei}  I really want to see a stock with symbol OUCH

01[10:34] {&Threei}  that would be a riot

01[10:34] {&Threei}  there was one named DURA... made all russian-speaking laugh

[10:36] {dino} silent but deadly i guess

[10:36] {RonS} omg the co name is funnier...stealth gas...

01[10:36] {&Threei}  it's getting better by minute

[10:36] {dino} builders getting nailed

[10:38] {+cc_9} SPY stuck @ range, needs to break that 168.75

01[10:38] {&Threei}  it should

01[10:41] {&Threei}  there you go

01[10:46] {&Threei}  goingshort, look pm pls

[10:46] {+cc_9} IWM major lag behind

[10:46] {+cc_9} stuck @ 104.2/3, needs 104.10

01[10:46] {&Threei}  SPY doesn't show much determination

01[10:47] {&Threei}  moves up haltingly

[10:51] {+cc_9} still think it gets back to yesterday's close

[10:51] {+cc_9} 169.10

[10:55] {+cc_9} any news?

[10:55] {+cc_9} lots of volume/chatter, other than the fed rates, not finding much

01[10:56] {&Threei}  nothing concrete

01[10:56] {&Threei}  more and mopre about taper happening, and soon

01[10:56] {&Threei}  volume is 13% under 3-months average

[10:57] {+cc_9} VXX has not moved much on this SPY drop either

[10:58] {RonS} curious as to why you pay any attention to the vxx?

[10:59] {+cc_9} To gauge volatility

[11:00] {RonS} then why not the vix since it is current

[11:00] {+cc_9} if VXX spiked up on this latest market drop, then people were hedging/betting against the market.

[11:01] {RonS} since the vxx is an average of all futures contracts how can it be a gauge of anything? is it not more important what is happening to specific contracts?

[11:01] {+cc_9} Over the long run there is a clear discrepancy, for intraday, the liquidity/prints on it are slightly clearer than VIX$

[11:02] {+cc_9} IWM back to 10:40s highs, SPY lagging now

[11:02] {RonS} just saying that a derivative of a derivative is really sketchy...imo

[11:05] {RonS} imo if you want a relatively real time reading on the vix futures for all months you should start wacthing the "Sonar Report" daily presentation from the floor of the CBOE via the Optionmonster website

[11:05] {dino} dal drop again

01[11:06] {&Threei} Long Setup:  CAT  .80 breal

01[11:08] {&Threei}  say, 3/4?

[11:09] {Alexs} k

[11:09] {+cc_9} Ron, that is correct and I agree. From a liquidity point of view, it is still an indicator, maybe not as accurate as the underlying $VIX

01[11:13] {&Threei}  ok kitty, let's do it this time, don't be a scalp

01[11:13] {&Threei}  be a good cat and move like real feline

[11:41] {dino} used to average 15+ trades/day, trying to keep it under 9

01[11:42] {&Threei}  best line from the article about weight loss I've ever seen: You aren’t going to get the butt you want by sitting on the one you have

[11:43] {+cc_9} initial target on market reversal was 169.10 on SPY, it hit 169.09 on the nose before fading again

[11:43] {+cc_9} UAL fighting hard to put a bottom

[11:43] {dino} reminds me of the wife who asked hubby for boob job, he said rub tp on them, it worked for your ass

01[11:43] {&Threei}  lol

01[11:44] {&Threei}  I am not convinced on UAL...

01[11:44] {&Threei}  low volume bounce

01[11:44] {&Threei}  can easily break down again

[11:44] {dino} slightly higher low, but missing the higher hi

[11:45] {+cc_9} agreed, needs about 31.15 for convincing turn around (UAL)

[11:46] {dino} the progresso and chuncky soups are under-rated. they make a great lunch

[11:47] {+cc_9} UAL some volume

[12:31] {+cc_9} funny how when market was melting, stocktwits was full of "told you it would crash!"

[12:31] {+cc_9} now they are magically long

[12:31] {+cc_9} lol cant get enough of that

01[12:31] {&Threei}  1:1

01[12:32] {&Threei}  I enjoy this "we all are winners" chorus for years

01[12:32] {&Threei}  a lot of people guess, then losers remain silent and winners scream on top of their lungs

01[12:32] {&Threei}  market reverses, thwe other side yells, while first one suts up

[12:33] {+cc_9} lol

01[12:33] {&Threei}  so it's like they win all the time

01[12:33] {&Threei}  on one forum there is a guy who makes the same call every year, around the same time:

01[12:34] {&Threei}  earnign season starts, it all tha matters for the nmarket, and it's not going to be pretty, I am short

01[12:34] {&Threei}  every year market goes up, he is nowhere to be seen, then he pops up a year later with the same call

01[12:34] {&Threei}  5 years in a row

[12:36] {+cc_9} when was making bullish calls on the market earlier @ the drop, everyone and their second cousin was screaming "this is the top, we go down from here"

01[12:37] {&Threei}  then there are those "bull market geniuses"

[12:37] {+cc_9} now that market is back where we left off yesterday "was a good time to buy SPY calls on that drop!"

01[12:37] {&Threei}  that make a name by repeating bullish calls during bull market, and continue doing that after market reverses...

01[12:37] {&Threei}  anyone remember the name Chhetah?

01[12:37] {&Threei}  1998 - 2000 hero

[12:37] {+cc_9} theoptiondon Aug. 13 at 10:10 AM $SPY 168 puts @ .61 

[12:38] {+cc_9} theoptiondon Aug. 13 at 12:31 PM this market is totally irrational. cant get proper footing in either direction $SPY

[12:38] {+cc_9} this is just an example

01[12:38] {&Threei}  repeated gis "buy any pillback" all the way down after market reversed its tech boom

01[12:39] {&Threei}  one trick ponies...

01[12:44] {&Threei}  (US) Fed's Lockhart (moderate, FOMC non-voter): Any change in QE should be a cautious first step

[12:47] {+cc_9} i.e no change

01[12:48] {&Threei}  - There will not likely be enough data on hand by September to be able to map a full phase-out of QE purchases. - Recent data does not paint a clear picture of the economy. Uneven economic data keeps the Fed from offering specific guidance. - US economy should pick up in the second half of 2013, with stronger consumer spending and housing

01[12:48] {&Threei}  (US) PIMCO's El-Erian: Risk markets are treading water and getting tired; major uncertainties ahead include debt ceiling, taper, new Fed chairman, European elections

[12:49] {+cc_9} UAL .70s support so far working 

01[12:49] {&Threei}  speaking of next fed chairman, summers' name sounds more and more often
