Feb 26 2014

That was very interesting day. How often  do you start with 4 stops in a row, and end up nicely profitable? This was exactly what happened. In the first 30-40 min we got stopped and rinsed 4 times; then made 7 winning trades most of which were 1:3ers, and ended up nicely up. Things sometimes go in clusters - stay calm and make good trades.

Session Time: Wed Feb 26 00:00:00 2014

[11:20] {goinshort} out FB thanks !!
01[11:20] {Threei}  yw sir
01[11:21] {Threei}  look at intraday...
01[11:21] {Threei}  .90 was clear long trigger,
01[11:21] {Threei}  ascending triangle
01[11:21] {Threei}  but before that, FB tested .97 twice
01[11:22] {Threei}  retreated, then formed this triangle we took now.
01[11:22] {Threei}  What ahppens next is:
01[11:22] {Threei}  triangle break gives it enough power to take that .97, which is nolt really actual resistance,
01[11:22] {Threei}  that would be even nimber right above, 71.
[11:23] {goinshort} I get it !  thanks
01[11:23] {Threei}  Taking round number, which is new high for the day, with momentum created by this triangle break - all the comnponenets in place for a verticla spike
01[11:23] {Threei}  which is exzctly what happened
01[11:24] {Threei}  sheesh... my typing IS atrocious

01[11:51] {Threei}  I like this:
01[11:51] {Threei}  Crimean police ordered to prevent clashes at any cost
[11:52] {fish_49} won't that create a clash?
01[11:52] {Threei}  what if cost is the clash?
01[11:52] {Threei}  exactly
[11:53] {fish_49} I pity the police in this situation....
[11:54] {fish_49} They have to follow orders and I'm certain there will be some  that agree with the oposition

01[12:16] {Threei}  1:1 if went with fish idea
[12:16] {dino} esi drop
[12:17] {fish_49} curious why .50  on wmt  not .52?  round number?   looks like range is .52 and .62?
01[12:18] {Threei}  when it's that close to round number, I prefer to use it as more batural support level
01[12:18] {Threei}  natural too
[12:18] {fish_49} ok
[12:19] {nemo} iwm might have to push through to get the 118 stops
01[12:19] {Threei}  most likely such numbers as .52 hold simply because there is huge support right under it, and buyers step up in front of that
01[12:20] {Threei}  but to trigger the trade break of that support is needed
01[12:20] {Threei}  (Yodaspeak)
[12:20] {fish_49} thanks for the explanation Vad.  It makes sense  and gives lil more confirmation
[12:23] {dino} esi gap fill

[12:58] {nemo} instead of you'll
[12:58] {nemo} tza working
[12:58] {fish_49} is it then or should that be than?
[12:59] {nemo} entweder oder
[13:00] {nemo} whoa, pretty low spy volume
[13:02] {dino} asps getting serious
[13:02] {nemo} .80ish first bounce point for iwm take some tza there
[13:02] {nemo} then see if it holds under entry
01[13:03] {Threei}  wow FB
[13:03] {fish_49} yea
[13:03] {fish_49} watchoing that Vad
[13:03] {nemo}  if it comes back down through .80 vwap likely target...market has been selling off in the afternoons
01[13:03] {Threei}  WMT baby
[13:04] {fish_49} come on wmt  2 more pennies
01[13:04] {Threei}  believe it or not, with this trade actually positive for the day
01[13:05] {Threei}  finally out of that morning hole
01[13:05] {Threei}  4 stops in a row, sheesh
[13:05] {fish_49} if I were to get out here  I would be positive for day
[13:05] {dino} gj, way to stick to it
[13:05] {fish_49} my limit order in at .33 and didnt get taken out
01[13:05] {Threei}  take half of what you have still fish
[13:06] {fish_49} k
01[13:06] {Threei}  secure some profit
01[13:06] {Threei}  get as close as you can to breakeven or slighly positive,
01[13:06] {Threei}  so even if last portion doresn't work, it's not painful anymore
[13:07] {goinshort} I know what ya mean - I'm $64 from green
01[13:07] {Threei}  there is math of odds theory that dictates the best way to manage the trade,
01[13:07] {Threei}  and there is a human side of all this,
01[13:07] {Threei}  we are not robots,
01[13:07] {Threei}  maintaining emotional balance is important
01[13:08] {Threei}  sometimes suboptimal way from pure math point of vieew is much better,
01[13:08] {Threei}  as it allows us to finction with less stress
01[13:08] {Threei}  function too
[13:08] {fish_49} good point  I have the remaining shares at a limit of .33  lets see if i can get hit
[13:09] {nemo} just stick ur chin out
[13:09] {dino} esi drops again
[13:09] {dino} anfi stopped b/e
01[13:09] {Threei}  there
[13:09] {fish_49} out
[13:09] {fish_49} and  positive territory
01[13:09] {Threei}  out you are as Yoda say would
[13:09] {fish_49} great day after all
[13:10] {dino} couple brutal drops going on, asps, esi
[13:10] {dino} edu
01[13:10] {Threei}  who would have thought in the morning, eh fish?
01[13:10] {Threei}  and you missed 1:3er on FB
[13:10] {fish_49} yea  but  It was a good test of an issue I have resolved  so  It was worth it to me
01[13:11] {Threei}  yup
[13:11] {fish_49} Even with the morning trades  I felt no pain and accepted it
[13:11] {fish_49} that in itself is victory to me
01[13:11] {Threei}  perfect
01[13:11] {Threei}  this is the state you need to cultivate
01[13:12] {Threei}  it's an odds game,
01[13:12] {Threei}  and sometimes odds go in clusters
01[13:12] {Threei}  a few stops here and there, we all accept that
[13:12] {fish_49} yes  and  I had bad feelings towards DAS folks  but that was resloved.  Honestly within 2 rings they answered the call and had me out of the trade within seconds
01[13:12] {Threei}  a few stops grouped together, it causes pain and doubts
[13:13] {fish_49} I have a new outlook towards those folks
01[13:13] {Threei}  I never underatood that bad feeling, honestly
01[13:14] {Threei}  they cater to day traders
01[13:14] {Threei}  as such, they are top league
01[13:14] {Threei}  server co-location, latency is negligible
01[13:14] {Threei}  software is top notch
[13:14] {fish_49} I believe that now
[13:14] {dino} kof and fmx getting crushed last few days
01[13:15] {Threei}  downtime is next to non-existent
01[13:15] {Threei}  and you know what a real test of how robust software is?
01[13:16] {Threei}  it's how it handles extremely high colume rapid trading days during market crash
01[13:16] {Threei}  when usual systems slow down to a crawl
01[13:16] {Threei}  and your orders travel in cyberspace like tortoises in mollasses
[13:16] {fish_49} my bad opinion came from their lack of support or understanding of their own software
[13:17] {fish_49} I figured out the details on my own
[13:17] {fish_49} but  now that I have confidence in their response at the trade desk  I am fine
01[13:17] {Threei}  you always run into someone in front line of support who knows a b and c, and haven't even heard of d...
[13:17] {nemo} yeah, tech support desks tend to have multiple levels
[13:18] {nemo} you get the grunts at first
[13:18] {dino} damn, missed asps and esi bottoms
01[13:18] {Threei}  I mean this is still good ole USA, the country in which salesman in central NY store when asked if they ship to Canada told me "sorry, we don't ship ioverseas"
01[13:18] {Threei}  1:2  WMT
[13:18] {fish_49} yea  level 1 was CC9  his response to my questions were  "Well why do you need that"
01[13:20] {Threei}  gs, you are breakeven now?
[13:20] {fish_49} hahahah  Overseas?  well the Great Lakes  are large Vad might as well be a sea  lol
[13:20] {goinshort} no  not yet
[13:20] {nemo} they have tides
01[13:21] {Threei}  yeah... when I suggested him to look up Canada on the map and find the sea between us, he wasn't amused
[13:21] {fish_49} I grew up on Lake Erie at a time when it caught fire in some places  lol
[13:21] {dino} gas?
[13:21] {fish_49} He didn't hang up on you?
01[13:22] {Threei}  no... we spoke of $1,700 camera, mind you
[13:22] {fish_49} no  not gas  pollution  debris, just general junk
[13:22] {fish_49} the lake really wasn't cleaned up until Nuc power came into play
[13:23] {dino} asps, ocn lods
[13:23] {fish_49} Lake Erie  is a clean lake now  compared to late 70's  and early 80's

01[13:25] {Threei}  nemo is so upset about not having a buddy for his satanic cult, he has suffocated the serpent with his bare hands
[13:25] {nemo} maybe he was drunk
[13:25] {nemo} Xcuse me
[13:26] {fish_49} Nathan  I'm happy your not Satan.  we can only have one satan in the room and we  all know who that is  right Nemo?

01[13:31] {Threei}  nemo's right on this one, however painful it is to admit... "shaitan" is a word in middle asia languages, from republics of xUSSR
01[13:31] {Threei}  haven't heard it in ages, just remembered when he typed that
[13:32] {nemo} Yeah, that side of the spirtual fauna is my bailiwick
[13:32] {fish_49} [13:31] {Threei}  nemo's right on this one,  even Vad admits Nemo is wrong most of the time
[13:33] {nemo} o.k. if the market gonna' drop the shorts should be forming now
[13:33] {fish_49} still range bound
[13:33] {nemo} That's a helluva' assumption for being such a noob here fishface
[13:34] {fish_49} assumption?
[13:34] {nemo} assertion
[13:34] {nemo} you're making an assumption which led to a written assertion
[13:34] {fish_49} you know what they say about assumptions and assertions
[13:35] {dino} asps vsm l .60

[13:39] {nemo} not to be confused with trout
[13:39] {nemo} doesn't matter
[13:40] {nemo} you're looking for rationality in an irrational process
[13:40] {nemo} the market is a woman

01[14:04] {Threei}  no
[14:04] {fish_49} could bounce here
01[14:04] {Threei}  just no clear setup
01[14:11] {Threei}  grrrr
01[14:11] {Threei}  one that got away
01[14:11] {Threei}  right idea, haven't found the setup
01[14:13] {Threei}  Federal court orders Google to take down YouTube anti-Muslim video 'Innocence of Muslims'
01[14:13] {Threei}  really?
01[14:13] {Threei}  we are takign down offensive things now?
[14:13] {fish_49} huh?
[14:13] {fish_49} OMG
[14:14] {fish_49} are they going to say it will be the cause of another benghazi?
01[14:14] {Threei}  I demand taking down Inconvenient Truth, it offends me deeply as it does away with reality and insults any sane person intelligence
[14:15] {RonS} dems mountin full frontal war on free speech...someone needs to find a new Lenny Bruce...
01[14:15] {Threei}  that's OK, we can all convert to turkish lira and immigrate to Ukraine
01[14:15] {Threei}  oh wait...

01[14:16] {Threei}  no news
[14:17] {nathan} are the going to buy Microsoft paint?
01[14:17] {Threei}  lol
01[14:17] {Threei}  (US) Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Camp (R-MI) releases details of his tax simplification plan- As previously reported the plan cuts US income tax brackets to only two (10% and 25%), phased in over five years. This would be offset by eliminating numerous and varied tax breaks that have been added into the tax code over decades. - The Camp tax plan is not expected to get much traction in Washington, but could serve as a starting point for future efforts on tax reform and simplification.
[14:18] {nemo} senate already told him to pound sand
01[14:18] {Threei}  almost bounce time, FB
[14:18] {nathan} will break the 69? :-)
01[14:19] {Threei}  I think so
[14:19] {dino} pega sm l .00
[14:19] {nemo} frickin' twtr, dropped .80 like a double diamond slope
01[14:19] {Threei} Long Setup:  FB  69 break
01[14:19] {Threei}  If holds  .90
01[14:19] {Threei}  risky one
01[14:19] {Threei}  but all bottom fishing is
01[14:19] {Threei}  1:1
01[14:20] {Threei}  1:2
01[14:21] {Threei}  man... positive for the day
[14:21] {fish_49} I missed it  but have a question
01[14:21] {Threei}  two huge clusters, losing one in the morning, winning one after that
01[14:21] {Threei}  rare occurence
01[14:21] {Threei}  normally they are mixed more evenly
01[14:22] {Threei}  why missed? it wasn't particularly fast on a break
01[14:22] {Threei}  1:3
01[14:22] {Threei}  and returned to .01
[14:25] {fish_49} Vad  so the pop up was on decreased volume  would that be an indication of a continuation down ?
01[14:26] {Threei}  why decreased? 14:20 candle is quite nice volume
[14:26] {fish_49} yes
[14:26] {fish_49} then after that on a 3 min  i see very lil vol
01[14:26] {Threei}  even karger than 14:15, largest red one up tio that point
[14:27] {fish_49} Obviously I'm wrong  it continues up
01[14:27] {Threei}  trade in progress already by that time, just manage it
01[14:27] {Threei}  standard operating procedure kicks in
[14:28] {fish_49} yea  I was  not asking about that  just tring  to learn about volume
01[14:28] {Threei}  volume is still larger on green candles than on red ones after bottoming
01[14:28] {Threei}  compare them between themselves to see how forces are distributed now
01[14:30] {Threei}  you can also view it this way:
01[14:30] {Threei}  decline after 14:15 was on decreasing volume,
01[14:30] {Threei}  which indicated sellers running out of gas
01[14:30] {Threei}  let see if this is double bottom
01[14:31] {Threei}  crap, late
01[14:31] {Threei}  too fast
01[14:31] {Threei} Long Setup:  WMT  .40 break
01[14:32] {Threei}  If holds  .34
01[14:33] {Threei}  ugh... such nice db setup

01[15:17] {Threei}  you think
01[15:17] {Threei}  I don't
01[15:17] {Threei}  or at least, I think twice before thinking
[15:17] {fish_49} being up $180 dollars on a day like today I don't think was a mistake
[15:18] {fish_49} ok  I will try not to think
01[15:18] {Threei}  and if you got thosde 2 1:3ers on FB...
01[15:18] {Threei}  you will find it very liberating
[15:19] {fish_49} ohhh  if I caught that  i would be on top of the world
01[15:19] {Threei}  I have to think only when I have to explain the decision-making
[15:19] {fish_49} I'm actually proud of myself  taking TWTR shjort at .80 and getting .30 cents on the short and calling the bounce
01[15:19] {Threei}  good job
[15:20] {fish_49} your paid  to think I get paid  to follow your advice  lol
01[15:20] {Threei}  I don't believe I will be very far from truth when say" process of learning to trade in larger part isd a process of un-learning to think
[15:20] {fish_49} only 10 shares  on TWTR  just trying it as a confidence booster
[15:21] {fish_49} ok  let me show you the volume issue I was asking about  with FB  b4
[15:21] {_philipswich} thanks a lot Vad, got to go now. Bye all
01[15:21] {Threei}  yw phulup, see you tomorrow
01[15:21] {Threei}  philip
01[15:21] {Threei}  my typing, sheesh
[15:21] {fish_49} laters Philipo
[15:21] {fish_49} Philip
[15:21] {fish_49} me too
[15:24] {fish_49} http://s1332.photobucket.com/user/bkhmd/media/FBvol_zpsc13163a6.jpg.html
[15:24] {fish_49} this is what I was talking about  earlier
01[15:25] {Threei}  well, on a big scheme of things, look at FB
01[15:25] {Threei}  it was a lousy bounce
[15:25] {fish_49} On a 3 min chart  I watched price rise .40 cents  but  volume was decreased  significantly and my instinct was to get short which would have paid off on a scalp
01[15:26] {Threei}  and it retreated under 69 twice since then and it reatreats now again
[15:26] {fish_49} yep
01[15:26] {Threei}  another matter is, for our purposes the scale of themove was such that even that lousy bounce provided us with quite enough room to profit
01[15:27] {Threei}  (UR) US Sec State Kerry: US is considering plan to offer Ukraine $1.0B in loan guarantees plus further direct financial aid- Russian military moves against Ukraine would be a very grave, costly mistake
01[15:28] {Threei}  Kerry... Putin plays chess, you barely learned how to put checkers on the board
01[15:28] {Threei}  let alone actuaklly play them
[15:28] {fish_49} I don't trust Kerry
[15:28] {fish_49} Does he come from Mass?
[15:28] {RonS} ketchup
[15:29] {fish_49} who else do we know that is in Mass?
[15:29] {nemo} yeah, and basically works in the middle of Maryland
[15:29] {fish_49} and who else do we know that came from Maryland  but lives in Mass now?
[15:29] {fish_49} lol
[15:29] {fish_49} Checkmate I win Toad
[15:30] {nemo} he doesn't live in MA, just a mailing address
[15:36] {nemo} Are you insinuating I came from Maryland?
[15:37] {fish_49} not at all
[15:37] {nemo} good
[15:40] {thomcbell} jcp very impressive squeezing
[15:44] {fish_49} Thom  do you trade JCP?
[15:45] {thomcbell} no
[15:46] {thomcbell} i prefer 20 and above price
[15:47] {thomcbell} probably a good scalp short here
[15:47] {thomcbell} but not doing it
[15:47] {dino} do it tbell, we all did
01[15:51] {Threei}  OK guys, thank you all
01[15:51] {Threei}  have a good evening, see you tomorrow
[15:53] {darekj} good night all
[15:53] {fish_49} gn DJ

Feb 25 2014

Quite decent day again with many trades working nicely. One of the trades invoked serious scalpers regret though - we took 1:2 on it, and it continued to 1:Icantcountthatfar. Look at intraday chart P, you'll see what I mean.

01[12:30] {@Threei}  you saw what kind of fills it gave you
[12:30] {fish_49} the hot key can be used  to load your limit at the current bid  then pause for you to change price  and then you hit enter to send
[12:30] {nemo} sorry busy with issues guys
01[12:31] {@Threei}  that's fine nemo, we can insult you without fear of retribution meanwhile
[12:31] {fish_49} or you can just use it to load the limit order at the current bid and accept fill + or _ 01 or 0.02 cents above or below the ask

[13:49] {fish_49} maybe it was .37 whan I asked  but  .38 and climbing when you answered  lol
01[13:50] {@Threei}  "lunch" is stretchable concept. It covers the time between end of breakfast and start of dinner

01[14:00] {@Threei}  don't tell anyone... but you can find some bits and pieces of info there
01[14:00] {@Threei}  I suspect he did dino... it's too good to be invented without him
[14:02] {fish_49} I did visit Fred recently and was able to ride in his car
[14:02] {fish_49} actually took a pic  wait  I will find it

[14:16] {natan} yep
01[14:16] {@Threei}  don't hesitate to ask if you have questions
[14:16] {natan} and wondering about the personal sessions
[14:17] {natan} how do you focus
[14:17] {nemo} natan, if you see a guy named "Les" in the room, don't ask HIM any questions
[14:17] {natan} lol
[14:17] {dino} natan, welcome and gl
01[14:17] {@Threei}  focus?
01[14:17] {@Threei}  I don't...
[14:17] {dino} music
01[14:17] {@Threei}  I throw darts...
[14:17] {nemo} how many monitors u got natan?
01[14:17] {@Threei}  luckily, more of them hit the center
[14:17] {natan} 4
01[14:18] {@Threei}  you mean focusing on a mentoring session during trading day?
[14:18] {natan} that's right
[14:18] {mojo1} natan, u like bananas?
01[14:18] {@Threei}  it's 30-60 min, which usually falls on a quiet oeriod
[14:19] {nemo} mojo, back to the corner
[14:19] {munky} i do
01[14:19] {@Threei}  lunch time
[14:19] {natan} ok
01[14:19] {@Threei}  and even if some trade comes along during that time, I am good at multitasking
[14:19] {fish_49} what platform are you using natan?
[14:19] {natan} das
[14:19] {fish_49} ok
01[14:20] {@Threei}  I once managed to eat ribs and steak at the same time
[14:20] {nemo} o.k.  watch this....
[14:20] {natan} you can solve any kind of issue: techanical, psicological...
[14:20] {nemo} Vad.....?
[14:20] {nemo} BACON!!!!
[14:20] {fish_49} Vodkaaa!!!!
[14:21] {nemo} natan....you have to solve the issue, other's can only provide guidance
[14:21] {natan} i know that, but its taking me a while to get out of this hole
[14:23] {natan} i'm tired of crashing into the same wall
[14:23] {fish_49} Are you a ground Hog by chance?
[14:23] {natan} lol
[14:23] {nemo} Fish....go listen to a James Gang album will ya
[14:23] {fish_49} teasing
01[14:23] {@Threei}  please read the description of mentoring at http://www.realitytrader.com/mentoring.html
[14:23] {natan} i'll do it
[14:26] {dino} galt spike
[14:26] {natan} i'll send you an email with some personal questions
[14:26] {dino} rcpt too
01[14:26] {@Threei}  normally it's done this way: you send an e-mail describing the problem, if it's something requiring mentoring, we do it; sometimes it's a minor issue that can be helped by the brief e-mail exchnage, which we do
[14:26] {nemo} Hey, natan, how long u been at it?
01[14:27] {@Threei}  so yes, send them, we will look them over and decide how to proceeed
[14:27] {natan} ok
[14:27] {nemo} what's this "we" shit?
[14:27] {natan} I've been in this for about 2 years
[14:27] {nemo} O.K.  how long you been stuck?
01[14:27] {@Threei}  just the right time to break through
[14:28] {natan} I'm a part time trader so...
[14:28] {nemo} ahhhh, so you've had somewhat limited screen time
[14:28] {natan} that's right
[14:28] {natan} i just can come post lunch
[14:29] {nemo} o.k. so really, in many way's you've really been only trading a year
[14:29] {natan} yep
[14:29] {nemo} OK...expectations 
[14:29] {natan} good questions
[14:29] {nemo} Between u me and the fencepost...you're still EARLY in the journey
[14:30] {natan} what's standard learning curve?
01[14:30] {@Threei}  nemo... I have to ask you once again to stop referring to me as a fencepost
[14:30] {nemo} there is no standard
[14:30] {fish_49} Natan  do you enjoy reading?
[14:30] {nemo} oh sorry tree good, fire bad
[14:30] {natan} sure
[14:30] {nemo} Having said that, oftentimes there is a 10,000 hour rule for expertise
01[14:31] {@Threei}  unlike fencepost that stand passively waiting for someone's forehead to hit it, I actively seek out those foreheads
01[14:31] {@Threei}  that's serious difference
[14:31] {nemo} It's not hard and fast, but this is a discipline that requires a level of mastery that goes beyond showing up for work every day
[14:32] {fish_49} I'm new here also  but  as far as the methods in this room,  this book was a great help.  I'm slow and had to read it a few times  to grasp the concepts.
[14:32] {fish_49} http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0071414908?ie=UTF8&tag=daytradingeducat&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0071414908
[14:32] {natan} i got it and read it! pretty good book
01[14:32] {@Threei}  I need to read that one...
[14:32] {fish_49} ok
[14:32] {fish_49} love it
01[14:32] {@Threei}  people keep referring to it
[14:33] {natan} i'm currently reading the master profit plan
01[14:33] {@Threei}  btw, got amazing e-mail from someone recently... one of those that make my day
[14:33] {fish_49} well you're name is on it and Christopher mentions you're name in the book Vad
[14:33] {munky} whats the name of the book
[14:33] {dino} lol
[14:33] {natan} lol
[14:33] {fish_49} Techniques of TAPE READING
01[14:34] {@Threei}  Hello Vadym,
01[14:34] {@Threei}  I have been reading your book 5x now and the question I am asking my self every time is why was I not able to fully grasp everything the 1st time.
[14:34] {nemo} Natan...you have internalize enough information to find out what works for you.  For instance, Dino trades completely different from almost anybody in the room.
[14:34] {dino} ttr my fav too
01[14:34] {@Threei}  etc... but this is quite common theme
[14:34] {nemo} His ONE cellmate is RonS
[14:34] {RonS} lol
01[14:34] {@Threei}  people find new things in it reading it many times
[14:34] {nemo} Sometimes I look at Vad's trades and go, huh?
[14:34] {fish_49} sometimes?
[14:34] {fish_49} ttr?
[14:35] {nemo} Given that you have only been trading a year it's likely you haven't been exposed to enough info to find out what speaks to you
01[14:35] {@Threei}  sometimes I look in the mirror and go, huh?
[14:35] {nemo} You never look in the mirror, they always shatter 
[14:35] {fish_49} as long as you dont see Nemo in that mirror, you will be fine  Vad
06[14:35] * nemo see's fish in the mil-dot cross-hairs
[14:36] {fish_49} who was supposed to be watching P
01[14:36] {@Threei}  well, ever since that girl bit me on the neck, I see no reflection in the mirror... dunno why
[14:36] {natan} thanks for the info nemo
[14:36] {dino} fish ttr=tech of tape reading
[14:37] {fish_49} yea  I got it  after a minute... I'm a slow fish in the cold
01[14:37] {@Threei}  natan... actually, if you can suffer through nemo's thick layer of sarcasm and insults, he can be quite helpful
[14:37] {dino} better slow than dead
[14:37] {nemo} what do you have on your charts natan for "indicators"
[14:37] {natan} lol
01[14:37] {@Threei}  but we wouldn't have him any other way
[14:37] {nemo} I haven't insulted him 
01[14:37] {@Threei}  give it time
[14:37] {fish_49} yet
[14:38] {natan} Not very complex, just bollinger bands and volume
[14:38] {natan} daily/15-min/ and 1min graph
[14:39] {natan} same for SPY and QQQ
[14:39] {nemo} cool, the only thing I would recommend, because many here have found it useful, is to keep freestockcharts.com up, and plot pivot levels...They create a grid that defines the chart geography for you
[14:40] {RonS} jesus P...
[14:40] {natan} can't be plotted in DAS?
[14:40] {nemo} damn, missed the frickin gmr short
[14:40] {nemo} gmcr
[14:40] {nemo} yes, but DAS charts don't handle them well.  It distorts the candle image
[14:41] {natan} ok
[14:41] {nemo} even Vad likes Freestockcharts.com
[14:41] {nemo} don't tell anybody though
[14:41] {natan} i have to read John L pearson book regarding Pivot point cause i'm quite new about that
[14:42] {natan} lol
[14:42] {nemo} yes very good book
[14:42] {nemo} I can share a .pdf of it with you if you have gmail drive
[14:42] {natan} I read somebody of you recommend it
[14:42] {nemo} the rest of you can go to hell
[14:42] {fish_49} or you can just ask nemo every day for the numbers
[14:42] {dino} lol
[14:42] {nemo} Yeah, I'll give you my paypal address
[14:42] {natan} lol
[14:42] {munky} nemo, can freestock plot r1,r2,r3
[14:43] {nemo} absolutely munky
[14:43] {munky} thanks
[14:43] {thomcbell} wow vad u guys talking about the P?
[14:43] {natan} I got it nemo, many thanks anyway
[14:43] {nemo} wow P
[14:43] {fish_49} yea
[14:43] {nemo} Ochoa's book is good also
01[14:43] {@Threei}  nice find, eh?
[14:44] {nemo} might be short here
01[14:44] {@Threei}  never expected it to go as much though
[14:44] {munky} munky sees P, cuts wrist with a banana
[14:44] {nemo} oh jeez...frickin' Vadgroupy
01[14:45] {@Threei}  [13:42] {@Threei} .50 break can catapult P
[14:45] {fish_49} lol
01[14:45] {@Threei}  boy, did it...

[15:03] {dino} gn
01[15:03] {@Threei}  see you tomorrow natan
[15:03] {natan} g luck
[15:04] {RonS} natan just needs a little chi...or in his case ci...
[15:04] {nemo} ?
[15:04] {RonS} nathan - h...
[15:04] {nemo} ahhh
[15:04] {RonS} :)
[15:04] {nemo} or an s instead of the first n
[15:05] {RonS} oof
[15:05] {nemo} he got a bad wrap...that whole Garden of Eden thing was to keep us from just being a herd of cows
[15:05] {nemo} Having said that, most of the people still are
[15:07] {nemo} for those of you that can handle a .15 stop, if GMCR drops .70 and stays under .85ish, it could drop
[15:08] {nemo} big seller at .80
[15:09] {nemo} look at that daily
[15:10] {nemo} eh, it shut off on the algo
[15:11] {nemo} sbux .85 short break
[15:11] {nemo} above .90
01[15:12] {@Threei} Short Setup: C  .50 break
01[15:12] {@Threei}  If holds  .60 
[15:13] {nemo} finnies coming into the 50 day and their lows
[15:15] {nemo} sbux gave you 1:1
[15:15] {fish_49} called late
[15:15] {nemo} no, it allowed you to get back in
[15:16] {nemo} gmcr triggered, but hasn't hit 1:1
01[15:19] {@Threei}  stop to .56
01[15:19] {@Threei}  to protect against double bottom
[15:20] {nemo} gmcr did a 1:1 and I think it's gonna' be a sleigh ride down
[15:24] {mojo1} vad call c .50 break are getting in at .5 0r .49
01[15:24] {@Threei}  http://www.realitytrader.com/tradingroom/#instructions
[15:24] {fish_49} .5 would be great but only after you have a print of .49
[15:25] {mojo1} i can't read
01[15:26] {@Threei}  finally
01[15:26] {@Threei}  I am not alone in this world
01[15:27] {@Threei}  everyone wonders why I haven't read Techniques of Tape Reading
01[15:27] {@Threei}  and I am too shy to say I can't read
[15:27] {fish_49} 1:1
[15:27] {fish_49} almost
[15:27] {fish_49} lol
01[15:28] {@Threei}  1:1  
[15:32] {nemo} oh well, no last minute collapses
01[15:32] {@Threei}  28 min still
01[15:32] {@Threei}  28 opportunities
01[15:32] {@Threei}  to get crashisher
[15:40] {fish_49} trailing C  to .50?
[15:40] {nemo} guess spy doesn't want to close far from 185
[15:40] {fish_49} no crazy volume in the close
[15:40] {fish_49} markets don't know which way to go
01[15:43] {@Threei}  let's lose .40 and die, C
[15:43] {nemo} probably not, finnies not likely to give up the 50 day
01[15:44] {@Threei}  to me, perfect place to break the support and kill those who buy here counting on it to hold
[15:44] {nemo} true
01[15:44] {@Threei}  shakes them out hard, then bouncwe
01[15:44] {@Threei}  max pain
[15:45] {fish_49} yeaaa
[15:45] {fish_49} worth the wait
[15:45] {fish_49} close enough

Feb 24 2014

Fine morning with 3 wins out of 3 calls at 50 min from the open. One of them deserves a screenshot as a fine example of catching the reversal (although the rest are just as juicy):


Finishing at 100%, with just one trade being a scalp, and the rest 1:2 and 1:3ers, LVS long 1:3 for the grand finale. FB, MCD, LVS, GM... everything lined up and asked how high to jump. Or drop as the case might be with short trades.

Reports suggested QNX would be less expensive than Microsoft licenses and improve the flexibility and speed of the next Sync system.
01[10:36] {@Threei}  QNX might be the last BBRY's hope to survive
[10:36] {fish_49} Manufacturing for safety stock..  Production is up,  efficiency is up  but sales orders are down

01[13:37] {@Threei}  OK... I'll settle fir that, especially considering I have no choice
01[13:38] {@Threei}  so, let me entertain you with little story from recent Ukraine business developments, particularly the reason people got so fed up with regime
01[13:39] {@Threei}  you folks might be happy or unhappy with tax regime and numbers,
01[13:39] {@Threei}  and they might be fizzy somewhat
01[13:39] {@Threei}  but imagine this:
01[13:39] {@Threei}  instead of the law that serts your taxation, a guy comes to you from the tax body
01[13:40] {@Threei}  and tells you: you "tax load" for the period we discuss is $xxx,
01[13:40] {@Threei}  out of which you give me a check for 50% andf the rest - cash, no documentsa
01[13:40] {@Threei}  You pay, he nods and leaves.
01[13:41] {@Threei}  You don't, during next week your business is yanked from under you
01[13:41] {@Threei}  literally
[13:41] {fish_49} failed to pay taxes?
01[13:41] {@Threei}  you come to office, other people are in it, you are told to go away
01[13:41] {@Threei}  well, if you can call it taxes
01[13:42] {@Threei}  it's a number they call at their discretion
[13:42] {fish_49} he gave you the number  and you paid what he gave you
[13:42] {fish_49} so whats the problem?
01[13:42] {@Threei}  ummm
01[13:42] {@Threei}  lol
01[13:43] {@Threei}  you are member of Yanukovich "family" or what? {G}
01[13:43] {@Threei}  they are the opnly ones who didn't see a problem with it
[13:43] {fish_49} I thought you were going to tell me  you paid X amount 3000  (1500 Cash and 1500 check)  and the office told you that you still owed 1500
01[13:44] {@Threei}  if they needed more money, they would do that
[13:44] {fish_49} It's not like this  in Korea anymore  but  I used to get forced to drive everywhere because the police would not stop me and ask for bribe  because they couldn't speak english
01[13:44] {@Threei}  if they were temporary satisfied, you were free for a while
[13:44] {fish_49} I did get stopped and they looked at my face and wave me on.
01[13:45] {@Threei}  when I run business over there, bandits wanted me to succeed, and demanded their share making sure that I could continue
01[13:45] {@Threei}  these folks were different - they aimed tio get your business from you
[13:45] {fish_49} several times  My father in law driving  and the police (No Gun  just whistle and finger) standing on the side of the road  tells him to pull over.  B4  the cop gets there he already has 40  bucks pulled out
[13:45] {fish_49}   gives him the 40 bucks and drives away
01[13:46] {@Threei}  Yanukovich "watchers" were installed throughout whole vertical of the government, and made sure no decision was made against their will
[13:46] {fish_49} yes  the thugs  shake you down Vad and you pay the thugs forprotection  so you can continue
01[13:46] {@Threei}  and his raiders were yanking businesses from under their owners
[13:47] {fish_49} then the GOV  comes  and takes your lunch money also
[13:47] {fish_49} it's a no win situation
[13:47] {fish_49} some days your banana  and some days your the munky
01[13:47] {@Threei}  now whole thing unravels
01[13:48] {@Threei}  chaos everywhere as all kinds of division lines get activated
[13:48] {fish_49} I asked before  which side is better
01[13:48] {@Threei}  east against west, russian-speaking vs ukrainian, pro-Russia vs pro-West
[13:49] {munky} lol fish
01[13:49] {@Threei}  you would have to define "side" first...
01[13:49] {@Threei}  there is no two sides
01[13:49] {@Threei}  there is former government most of which now quickly morphs,
01[13:50] {@Threei}  and there is opposition whivh in turn consists of dozens forces
[13:50] {fish_49} ok let me ask another way
01[13:50] {@Threei}  temorary united to get rid of the regime
01[13:50] {@Threei}  and now srated warring
[13:50] {fish_49} What would good honest working folks want to see as the outcome?

01[13:50] {@Threei}  they don't know
01[13:51] {@Threei}  they want good economy and honest govt

[13:51] {fish_49} If the Ukraine fails  wouldnt that be a win for Putin?
