[07:52] {Threei} well, we are so dangerously close to breakdown level, lows of Oct 10 and 16, it starts acting like a magnet
[07:52] {Threei} and iof broken...
[07:52] {Threei} let me look, I posted it yesterday
[07:53] {Nemo} IMO: P/Es have to get down to the 70s lows, and how much of these CDSs have to be wrung out, meaning more liquidations
[07:54] {Threei} [14:20] {Threei} $72B OF CREDIT SWAPS HAVE REPORTEDLY SETTLED WITHOUT INCIDENT THROUGH SELLERS PAYING $5.2B
[07:56] {Nemo} POT trumped earnings but outlook cloudy, trading up 5%. Won't last long.
[07:57] {magoo} morning
[07:57] {Threei} magoo :)
[07:57] {Threei} POT is glorified manure company

[08:05] {Threei} I can feel a lot of unintended consequences coming
[08:06] {Nemo} Must be that 3rd eye talking :)
[08:06] {Threei} lol
[08:07] {Threei} just imagine how wide the gates are being open to lending influenced by greed or corruption, when risk is being completely erased

[08:12] {Threei} SAUDI ARABIAN OIL MIN: OIL PRICES WILL BE DETERMINED BY MARKET
[08:13] {Nemo} Hahah...I thought they'd play ball
[08:14] {Nemo} This will keep Chavez and Iran at bay, and help keep the price of gold down
[08:14] {Threei} as long as their cuts are reasonably within theior current surplus, they just don't matter
[08:14] {Nemo} Saudi needs $30 oil to pay their bills...more is gravy

[08:58] {Threei} Onix :)
[08:59] {Threei} markets are upticking

[09:05] {Threei} SPOT GOLD BREAKS BELOW $700/OZ FOR FRESH 13 MONTH LOWS

[09:09] {Threei} dino :)
[09:11] {Threei} JBLU
[09:11] {Threei} CEO: WE ARE COMMITTED TO NO CAPACITY GROWTH IN 2009 - CONF CALL
[09:13] {Threei} OK guys, first, welcome to all gusts,
[09:13] {dino} lol. we are committed to not growing
[09:13] {Threei} move your chairs closer,
[09:13] {Nemo} I'm sensitive about trout
[09:14] {Threei} just don't touch that palm tree in the corner please, last time around too many cigarette butts in the pot damaged it
[09:14] {Threei} we have a rule about not trouting the guests
[09:14] {Threei} although we do break our rules frequently
[09:15] {Threei} second, let's form our working assumptions for the day
[09:15] {Threei} pattern lately was:
[09:15] {Threei} some selling at the opne, steady climb for a few hours, then sharp selloff closer to end of day
[09:16] {Threei} let's go with that for now, with one necessary comment:
[09:16] {Threei} we are very close to a dangerous breakdown level
[09:16] {Threei} so markets are likely tio be even more nervous
[09:17] {Threei} let's for now keep our bets to half lot unless stock is very thick and stop is fairly tight
[09:17] {Threei} alert format includes trigger for a trade, condition and stop level
[09:17] {Threei} like this:
[09:18] {Threei} Long Setup: ABCD 30.01 if stays above 29.90
[09:18] {Threei} 30.01 is a trigger,
[09:18] {Threei} breakdown of 29.90 is invalidating level if broken before triggering
[09:18] {Threei} and stop level if broken after
[09:18] {ese} good morning
[09:18] {Threei} ese :)
[09:19] {Threei} sometimes plays are more discretionary than that,
[09:19] {Threei} then alerts are somewhat fuzzy,
[09:19] {Threei} like:
[09:19] {ese} morning vad...and welcome the members to the board bomer buce nemo et al
[09:19] {ese} new members
[09:19] {Threei} ABCD is a bounce candidate, likely off 19.50 level, watch for nasdaq strength to guide entry
[09:20] {_Bruce} morning all
[09:20] {Threei} bruce :)
[09:20] {Threei} any questions so far?
[09:20] {_Case} Good morning Vad. and team.. thanks for the open house :-)... Question: How do you size "lot" in terms of your total capital per trade?
[09:20] {Threei} don't hesitate to ask if you get any
[09:20] {Threei} good morning case
[09:21] {Threei} we go with risk tolerance
[09:21] {Threei} idea isd:
[09:21] {Threei} you define how much you are willing to lose on any given trade
[09:21] {Threei} industry standard is 1-2% of your trading account
[09:21] {Threei} from here, having your stop loss on particular setup
[09:21] {Threei} you figure out lot size
[09:22] {Threei} example:
[09:22] {Threei} you are willing to lose no more than 200 on a trade,
[09:22] {Threei} stop size is 20 cents,
[09:22] {Threei} you can go with about 1000 share IF stock is thick enough so slippage is not an issue
[09:22] {Threei} when you deal with thin volatile traders, like RIMM,
[09:23] {Threei} no way you can count on no slippage
[09:23] {Threei} so you cut down your size
[09:23] {Threei} I usually iclude this evaliuation in alert
[09:23] {_Bruce} morn vadster
[09:23] {Threei} saying "half lot" or small shares"
[09:24] {ese} bruce...
[09:24] {_Bruce} howdy ese
[09:24] {Threei} for the open, considering volatility, let's keep them all to half lot
[09:24] {ese} vads a typing monster this morning......
[09:25] {Nemo} amazing with that accent
[09:25] {dptl} good morning all
[09:25] {Threei} youmean MIStyping monster?
[09:25] {Threei} dp :)
[09:25] {ese} dp!!!!!!
[09:25] {dptl} :)
[09:26] {_Case} Thanks Vad.. perfectly clear. Followup question: Are you / the regulars here sticking to 1% risk per trade, 0.5% or something higher?
[09:26] {Threei} I am generally keeping it within 1-2%
[09:27] {Threei} as for regulars... they all found and destroyed spy cameras I had installed in their offices... can't tell aymore
[09:27] {_Case} :-)
[09:27] {Nemo} once a kgb guy
[09:27] {Threei} lol
[09:28] {Threei} watching UAUA
[09:28] {ese} 1-2% for me as well
[09:29] {Threei} usually fast one at the open
[09:29] {Threei} sharp dive under 14 if happoens, will be buying opportunity
[09:29] {Threei} it often does that
[09:29] {Threei} consequent run is usually fairly impressive
[09:30] {Threei} open we are
[09:30] {Threei} market upticking
[09:30] {Threei} Long Setup: UAUA 14.20 if stays above 14
[09:30] {Threei} half lot
[09:30] {Threei} that was too fats, don't chase
[09:31] {ese} bstop CTXS 23.01
[09:31] {ese} filled
[09:31] {Threei} 40 cents in one gasp
[09:31] {ese} .5
[09:31] {Threei} 50 even
[09:31] {ese} sory .05
[09:32] {ese} out CTXS .34
[09:32] {Threei} UAUA pulling back
[09:32] {ese} +.29 ....that was a 1/2 ;ot
[09:32] {Threei} lol, that kind of redefines fast
[09:32] {ese} damn does it ever
[09:32] {Threei} if you still had your order at .20, that was the only way to get filled
[09:33] {Threei} if UAUA revisits that level again, it's not an entry anymore
[09:34] {Threei} watch JNPR for entry on pullback closer to 19
[09:34] {dino} ice sm l .25, stop .79
[09:34] {Threei} JNPR here
[09:34] {Threei} stop about 18.95
[09:37] {Threei} UAUA sharp down
[09:37] {Threei} sewe how thrid revisit of 14.20 was not an entery anymore?
[09:38] {_Case} Yes... Oil is up, does it trade in reverse?
[09:38] {Nemo} 3rd revisit breakdown
[09:38] {Threei} latelt UAUA mostly trades with market
[09:38] {Threei} JNPR no worky

[11:47] {Threei} Oct. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Hundreds of hedge funds will fail and policy makers may need to shut financial markets for a week or more as the crisis forces investors to dump assets, New York University Professor Nouriel Roubini said.
[11:47] {Threei} ``We've reached a situation of sheer panic,'' Roubini, who predicted the financial crisis in 2006, said at a conference in London today. ``There will be massive dumping of assets,'' and ``hundreds of hedge funds are going to go bust,'' he said.
[11:47] {_Dean} 1:3 last half. ty .
[11:47] {Threei} good job Dean
[11:47] {Threei} explain to me please, what those funds are going to do if markets are closed
[11:47] {_Dean} All Hail Vad!
[11:47] {Threei} how do they liquidate?
[11:48] {Threei} or he means they won't?
[11:48] {Geo} they panic and dump when markets open
[11:48] {Geo} thus even worse
[11:48] {Chaeron} hmmm "sheer panic"... we're close to a bottom
[11:48] {Nemo} Vad the scalper...like Vad the impaler?

[11:50] {dino} ice stopped again,
[11:50] {peterg} nemo, thats this group for ya
[11:50] {peterg} also, can commit trout suicide
[11:51] {Threei} ``Systemic risk has become bigger and bigger,'' Roubini said at the Hedge 2008 conference. ``We're seeing the beginning of a run on a big chunk of the hedge funds,'' and ``don't be surprised if policy makers need to close down markets for a week or two in coming days,'' he said.
[11:51] {Threei} I feel like I am in some parallel universe

[12:01] {_Muddleheaded} Vad, how to you manage $US/CDN exchange? Do you convert $US to $CDN every night?
[12:01] {_Bruce} mos looks weak - possible short - can be very volatile trader
[12:01] {Threei} no muddleheaded (what a nick, lol)
[12:01] {Geo} :)
[12:01] {Threei} money is in USD tading account
[12:02] {Threei} when I withdraw profits, I convert to CAD
[12:02] {Threei} sometimes waiting for a few days if I see chart as an opportunity to get a better rate
[12:02] {_Muddleheaded} Do you think the $CDN is oversold?
[12:03] {Threei} really no idea... was it oversold when exhcnage rate was around .60?
[12:03] {lisa_jay} uaua stil valid Vad?
[12:03] {Threei} yes lisa
[12:03] {Threei} see, CDN is pretty much petro currency,
[12:03] {Threei} commodity currency,
[12:04] {Threei} with commodities going into basement, it's no wonder CAD drops,
[12:04] {_Muddleheaded} That's for sure, thanks Vad.
[12:04] {Threei} then cycle starts:
[12:04] {Geo} booohoohoo
[12:04] {Threei} economy weaknes,
[12:04] {Geo} UAUA not available
[12:04] {Threei} BoC has to cut rates
[12:04] {Threei} which weakens CAD even more
[12:05] {Threei} and US economy is the basement which means sharp drop in non-oil related sectors in Canada
[12:05] {Threei} we see it in Ontario as we speak
[12:05] {Threei} so it's kind of triple whammy on CAD
[12:05] {Threei} UAUA 1:1

[12:06] {Threei} so I provide commentary for all, not limiting them to you only Geo... sorry
[12:07] {Chaeron} Geo thinks he's the center of the universe :)
[12:07] {peterg} he's not?
[12:07] {Geo} thats what you told me over beer chaeron !!!
[12:07] {Threei} well, I can't blame him, I think pretty much the same of myself
[12:07] {Chaeron} just wanted to make you feel good buddy :)
[12:07] {Threei} and it comes as a great surprise to me when I see people thinking otherwise
[12:07] {Geo} lol chaer
[12:08] {Geo} just wistfull about 20 cents thats all
[12:08] {Threei} amazingly enough, there are 7 billions of those
[12:08] {Threei} can you believe it?
[12:08] {_Bruce} rimm headiong to daily lows
[12:08] {Chaeron} I can't believe with as stupid as the human race is, we've reached 7B
[12:08] {Geo} hey magoo you there?
[12:08] {Threei} yeah, looking at RIMM for short at .50 break
[12:08] {Threei} would prefer some bounce first though
[12:09] {Threei} why chaeron... this I actually find easy to believe, considering how little smarts the process requiress {Grin}
[12:09] {Geo} really?
06[12:10] * Geo will go back in PG mode
[12:10] {lisa_jay} 22c on UAUA thanks Vad.
[12:10] {Threei} skipping RIMM short here
[12:10] {Threei} welcome lisa
[12:10] {Geo} damn
[12:10] {Geo} nice lisa
[12:10] {Threei} muddle... one more comment on CAD
[12:10] {lisa_jay} Thanks Geo.
[12:11] {Chaeron} thanks Vad... nice cancel notice... saved me big... -.08 only on RIMM
[12:11] {Threei} consider this market manner to overshoot reasonable targets
[12:11] {_Dean} out in full uaua 1st half 1:1 second half 1:2.5, second realitytrader trade both winnners
[12:11] {Geo} wierd spike
[12:11] {Threei} I was hesitant on it from get go chaeron
[12:11] {Threei} eread my first comment
[12:11] {Chaeron} I know... but you know I'm aggressive
[12:11] {_Muddleheaded} I guess everything is unreasonable now, thanks Vad.
[12:11] {Threei} beautiful Dean
[12:12] {Threei} right, that's what I mean
[12:12] {_Dean} thank you sir!
[12:12] {Threei} if fundamen tals say CAD should be where it is now (I don';t know if they are)
[12:12] {Threei} then market is very likely to overshoot it by moving much further in trend direction
[12:13] {Threei} just take a look at daily chart UAUA
[12:13] {Threei} the most fresh example
[12:13] {Geo} 15 res
[12:13] {Threei} frikin thing drops from about 14 to under 5
[12:14] {Threei} from 09/16
[12:14] {Threei} rallies from there to over 16
[12:14] {Threei} was there such drastic change of fundamentals over such short period of time?
[12:14] {Threei} this is state of utter confusion
[12:15] {Threei} and emotions-driven trading
[12:15] {peterg} you mean.....market is not unlike gambling?????
[12:15] {Threei} ummm
[12:15] {peterg} never mind
[12:15] {Threei} there are some analogies
[12:15] {peterg} kdg
[12:15] {Threei} but look at it this way
[12:15] {Nemo} yeah...gambling's one of 'em
[12:15] {Threei} no, it's a valid angle
[12:16] {Threei} there are gamblers that simply gamble
[12:16] {Threei} and there are those that watch faces
[12:16] {peterg} agree & like the emphasis on multiple perspectives
[12:16] {Threei} count cards
[12:16] {lisa_jay} I am one of them...
[12:16] {Threei} remember movie Rounders?
[12:16] {lisa_jay} Gambler that is
[12:16] {Nemo} and then there's the 3rd eye
[12:16] {Threei} amazing analogy between a good professional card player and trader
[12:16] {Nemo} Rounders...great movie
[12:17] {peterg} third ear from psychoanalyst Reik, i think
[12:17] {Threei} so, in a sense that a trader as a good gambler needs to know patterns,probabilities and read emotions, yes
[12:17] {peterg} Third eye--Hindu concept?
[12:17] {Nemo} shamanistic concept
[12:17] {peterg} I like tt
[12:17] {Threei} in a sense that trading is just like throwing aa dice and hoping... only if it's a bad trader :)
[12:18] {Nemo} goes back to Tungusia...yes, beard?
[12:18] {Threei} lol
[12:18] {Threei} never been there
[12:18] {Nemo} Nothin but mosquitos and kumis, and people w/no teeth
[12:18] {peterg} where?
[12:18] {peterg} Tungusia?
[12:19] {peterg} near Louisiana?
[12:19] {peterg} or Urals?
06[12:19] * Geo totally lost
[12:19] {Nemo} russian hinterlands north of china/mongolia
[12:19] {peterg} wos
[12:19] {Geo} ok
[12:19] {peterg} wow
[12:19] {dino} ugh ice, stopped my short by .20, then drops 2.30
[12:20] {Threei} market is back to a pattern of selling second half of the day
[12:20] {Threei} let's watch for bounces to short into
[12:20] {Threei} RIMM bounce into .60 - .70 resistance area
[12:21] {Threei} wow ADBE... did we cover early
[12:21] {Threei} or rather... why didn't we reshort bounce back into 25
[12:21] {Threei} anyway, nearest resistance is .65 - .70 area
[12:21] {Nemo} too busy chatting
[12:22] {Geo} i guess vads a good host
[12:22] {Threei} lame excuse but I'll take it
[12:22] {Geo} making polite conversatiopn
[12:22] {Geo} lol
[12:22] {peterg} some champagne with your shrimp, sir?
[12:22] {Threei} well, it's either that or vodka Geo...
[12:22] {Nemo} I missed skf turn...caviar please...
[12:23] {Nemo} vodka...ran out last night
[12:23] {Threei} ADBE topped out at .59
[12:23] {Threei} a bit too fast to catch it there
[12:23] {Threei} or someone managed?
[12:23] {Chaeron} was waiting in the 60s
[12:23] {Chaeron} beuty call tho
[12:24] {Threei} RIMM nowhere even closer to resistancer
[12:24] {Chaeron} beauty too
[12:24] {Threei} market edges toward that dreadful support to break again
[12:24] {Threei} see how pace picks up as we move toward it?
[12:25] {Threei} nervous players start liquidating
[12:25] {Threei} this starts feeling like self-fulfiling fear
[12:26] {peterg} wonder how this will end today
[12:26] {Threei} not pretty, my bet
[12:26] {peterg} feels like it
[12:27] {Nemo} what are the support levels?
[12:27] {Threei} for today, NQ 1220 to break to launch next wave of panic
[12:27] {Threei} and on daily, 1200
[12:28] {Nemo} is that CAD?
[12:28] {Threei} loss of that is likely to be a terrifying event
[12:28] {Threei} CAD?
[12:28] {Threei} no
[12:28] {Threei} NASDAQ e-minis
[12:28] {Geo} waiting at 19
[12:28] {Threei} QID
[12:29] {Threei} for those who don't trade NQ
[12:29] {Nemo} Ive got Nasdq at 1600 support...oops
[12:29] {Geo} wo
[12:29] {Threei} by NASDAQ you mean COMP?
[12:30] {Nemo} I'm only in the US and we speak the same language. I have NASDAQ, DJ, and S&P as basics
[12:30] {Geo} one lot coever at 15
[12:30] {Threei} NASDAQ is measured by diff indicators
[12:31] {Geo} other breakeven
[12:31] {Geo} a bit skittish
[12:31] {Threei} COMP is whole NASDAQ
[12:31] {Threei} NDX is NASADAQ 100
[12:31] {Threei} and what I use is NASDAQ 1-- e-minis,
[12:31] {Threei} which is NQ
[12:32] {Geo} all out 4 + 1 points
[12:32] {Nemo} don't know minis here
[12:32] {Geo} minis usually lead IMO nemo
[12:32] {Threei} right, that's why we prefer them as leading indicator
[12:32] {Geo} COMPX NDX is an aggregate taken after the fact
06[12:33] * Geo agrees
[12:33] {Threei} in terms on COMP, corresponding level to short was 1600,
[12:34] {Threei} and dreadful support on daily is 1545 roughly
[12:34] {Threei} 1540 - 1545
[12:36] {Threei} some have amazing knuck for stating the obvious, going even furter than mine:
[12:36] {Threei} (BR) PRESIDENT LULA: THE IMPACT OF THE GLOBAL CRISIS MAY BE "PARTICULARLY SEVERE"
[12:36] {Threei} no really?
[12:36] {Geo} TY vad
[12:36] {Geo} crawled back and hit daily
[12:36] {Threei} cool beans
[12:37] {Geo} rimm
[12:38] {Threei} market is torn between "oanic" and "don't panic"
[12:41] {dino} this market feels bad, imo
[12:41] {Threei} OK, panic
[12:41] {dino} feels like 7900 coming again
[12:42] {Threei} NASDA is about to revisit yesterday's low
[12:44] {Threei} if NASDAQ reverses back down, look to short ADBE wih stop above .50
[12:45] {Threei} if NQ goes above 1223, panic is canceled for now
[12:46] {Threei} postponed to be exact
[12:46] {Geo} :)
[12:49] {Threei} Short Setup: ADBE .39 if stays below .50
[12:51] {Threei} come on market give up... time to panic
[12:51] {Threei} ugh
[12:51] {dptl} stopped
[12:52] {Threei} yup
[12:52] {Geo} out .52
[12:52] {Threei} most likely just a shakeout but not going to take any chances
[12:52] {Threei} anything is possible in this environment
[12:53] {Threei} keep stops tight and keep them religiously
[12:54] {_Dean} Still in ADBE from .39
[12:54] {dptl} valid again?
[12:54] {Threei} don't know dp
[12:54] {Threei} no rhyme or rythm here
[12:55] {Threei} I like easy money
[12:55] {Threei} this is not
[12:58] {Threei} Dean wins
[12:59] {_Dean} Not yet risked 15 cents.
[13:00] {_Dean} out in full
[13:00] {Threei} just in time
[13:00] {_Dean} thank you sir!
[13:01] {Threei} welcome
[13:01] {Threei} really feels no matter how much market is trying. panic selloff is inevitable
[13:01] {_Dean} 3 realitytrader trades 3 wins! can't beat that!
[13:02] {magoo} feels like 500 down today
[13:02] {Threei} and on one of them you did better than we did, lol
[13:02] {Threei} mags, then look for QID entry
[13:02] {_Dean} lol
[13:03] {Threei} here we go... inching toward yesterday's low
[13:03] {Threei} broke
[13:03] {Threei} 1200 is within spitting distance
[13:05] {dino} gj dean
[13:05] {Threei} next wave of selling should take us into 1200,
[13:05] {Threei} little bounce
[13:06] {Threei} then breakdown and wave of red all over
[13:06] {_Dean} thank you dino

[13:08] {Threei} bounce just like yesterday

[13:09] {Threei} CALIFORNIA MORTGAGE DEFAULTS DOWN 22.5% SEQUENTIALLY, BUT UP 30% Y/Y - DATAQUICK
[13:13] {Nemo} adbe getting off the mat??
[13:13] {Threei} just follows the market
[13:15] {Threei} still can't tell if we are off the hook for today or it's just a small bounce before swan dive
[13:16] {Threei} if we consoidate a little between 1215 and 1220 and break 1220, relief rally is likely
[13:16] {Nemo} Nahhh...it's a big, barbed, hook...and we ain't talkin' trout hook
[13:16] {Threei} broke 1220
[13:16] {Threei} not much of consolidation though
[13:19] {Threei} watching LVS
[13:20] {Threei} pullback buy with .50 support
[13:20] {Threei} if market sighs with reliefe, likely to go over 9
[13:21] {dino} wow lvs 150 to 8
[13:21] {Threei} took .58-.61
[13:21] {Threei} uhhu
[13:22] {Threei} there is a lot of bathwater around but I am sure there are some soapy slippery babies too
[13:22] {dino} pretty amazing, dropping stocks 20-30%/day
[13:23] {Threei} most incredible thing is,
[13:23] {Threei} it continues over and over again
[13:24] {dino} thats the amazing part.
[13:25] {dino} ironically all of the buybacks by companies are losers too. they should have gotten rid of debt, not bought back stock 2x-5x higher
[13:25] {dino} what a waste
[13:25] {Nemo} buy backs were signals to get out
[13:25] {dino} yes
[13:25] {Nemo} signals for insiders...that is
[13:26] {Threei} low volume pullback
[13:26] {dino} bunch of idiots. retire debt not buy stock....or give it to shareholders
[13:26] {dino} wasted trillions
[13:26] {Threei} now, if we are holding above 1210 and go back over 1220, we are out of the woods for the day
[13:26] {Threei} lose 1210, all bets are off
[13:26] {dino} 8800 on dji recent resistance
[13:27] {Nemo} they did give it to shareholders who turned in their stock
[13:27] {dino} 8335 recent support

[13:28] {dino} plus jack put them in the mess
[13:28] {Threei} IMF OFFICIALS DENY RUMORS OF A TOTAL AMOUNT OF $1.0T FACILITY
[13:28] {Nemo} If you were a financial insider, you knew the feces were about to hit the ventilator
[13:29] {Nemo} You offer a buyback at the top of the market, contact wealth managers at the largest firms, and your largest shareholders, and tell them to sell
[13:30] {dino} it sure looks that way
[13:30] {dino} and then of course, blame the shorts
[13:30] {Nemo} nope
[13:31] {Nemo} naked shorting is another story...it's fractional reserve selling
[13:31] {lisa_jay} Vad, long LVS stop still under .5
[13:31] {Threei} yup
[13:31] {dino} my point, the shorts were right
[13:31] {Threei} NQ lost 1210
[13:31] {Threei} not good
[13:32] {Threei} stopped LVS'

[13:38] {dino} jumping 70 pt in minute
[13:38] {Threei} amazing
[13:38] {dino} that used to be a day
[13:40] {Threei} usually this kind of abnormal volatility signalled trend reversal
[13:41] {Threei} yet who will risk to say ultimate bottom is in
[13:41] {dino} bruce will
[13:42] {_Bruce} tough call dino - still thinking down though
[13:42] {dino} you don't want to know what i'm thinking

[13:44] {Threei} .15
[13:44] {Threei} half lot

[13:45] {Threei} not a scalp for me
[13:45] {Threei} looking to sell closer to .50
[13:46] {Threei} stop is tight enough dino...
[13:46] {Threei} this kind of trades with this riskm we are taking every day many times

[14:27] {_Bruce} exited balance of aapl +.38
[14:27] {Threei} wtg
[14:28] {Geo} we miss ya bruce !!
[14:28] {Threei} chart wise, this bounce is asking to be shorted
[14:28] {_Bruce} thanx vadster
[14:28] {_Bruce} lucky
[14:28] {Threei} but honestly speaking
[14:28] {Threei} I'll stay away for now
[14:29] {_Bruce} I trade like dino now - if the thing isn't going to move a buck whey even look at it?
[14:29] {Nemo} When is the crash scheduled for today?
[14:29] {Threei} dino is intervening into my teritory now Bruce...
[14:30] {Threei} trades a lot of 15-30 cents play
[14:30] {Geo} thats just wrong
[14:30] {Threei} si as a countermeasure I play more of $1 moves
[14:30] {_Bruce} lol
06[14:30] * _Bruce slaps dino around a bit with a large trout
[14:30] {Threei} it's already here Nemo... it's just a mini-crash
[14:31] {Threei} for now at least
[14:31] {Nemo} Nahhhh...we're still in the range for today
[14:31] {Threei} sensitivity has changed greatly
[14:31] {Threei} -250 is nothing these days
[14:31] {dino} lol bruce
[14:32] {Threei} we bat eye at -500
[14:32] {Threei} -700, OK, that's crash
[14:32] {dino} yes, but 552 range
[14:32] {dino} unfortunately, normal too
[14:33] {_Bruce} taking break here
[14:34] {Threei} day was pretty much around flat for me before this last drop... some stops, some winds, mostly balancing each other
[14:34] {Threei} then this QID play took in black sharply
[14:36] {Threei} 1200 break NQ is scary long signal
[14:36] {Threei} for strong hearts only
[14:37] {Threei} 29.50 QQQQ corresponding level
[14:37] {Threei} 83 short QID corresponding level
[14:38] {Geo} stop for NQ pls vad ?
[14:38] {Threei} under 95
[14:38] {Geo} yeah was afraid of that :(
[14:38] {Threei} target about 1215
[14:40] {Geo} 1:1 one lot out
[14:41] {Threei} what can you do Geo, this is price of volastility
[14:41] {Geo} i banked with heavy heart
[14:41] {Geo} TY
[14:41] {Threei} QID reached almost dollar profit, then bounced all the way back into trigger
[14:41] {Threei} it happens so fast on these moves, you just need to react on it rather than wait for a call
[14:42] {Geo} yeah
[14:42] {Threei} QQQQ hit .65
[14:42] {Geo} in 1200:50 out 1206
[14:42] {Threei} least effective of all of them leverage wise
[14:43] {Threei} bounce from here again
[14:44] {Threei} got 94 or so?
[14:44] {Threei} they tage levels and jump of them faster than I can type
[14:48] {Nemo} figures...quick 10 minutes away...sheesh
[14:49] {Geo} hmm Goldman leaying off 10%
[14:49] {Geo} about 3500
[14:52] {Threei} unclear here...
[14:53] {magoo} seems to easy to sell off into last hour again...but thats what been doing
[14:54] {Threei} feels more like down but not enough confidence for play
[14:56] {Threei} ok, working assumption is, one more little bounce and down again
[14:57] {Threei} QID around 84.50 is probably long
[14:57] {Geo} that was fast
[14:58] {Threei} got .56, looking to exit for about $1
[14:59] {Threei} sheesh
[15:00] {Geo} wow
[15:00] {Threei} stopped for -.15
[15:00] {Threei} too greedy
[15:00] {Nemo} Ti To
[15:00] {Threei} as if 70 cents was not enough, lol
[15:00] {lisa_jay} Vad, what kind of stop do you give for a volatile stock like QID? Thanks.
[15:01] {Threei} originally about 30 cents
[15:01] {Threei} but tightenting it as it nmoves
[15:03] {Threei} looks like line in sand is drawn for todsay
[15:03] {Threei} higher low
[15:04] {Threei} look for entry on pullback
[15:04] {Threei} NQ around 1195
[15:04] {magoo} too bad this mkt wouldn't go green 300
[15:05] {Threei} QQQQ around .37
[15:05] {magoo} mess up the shotrts
[15:05] {Threei} like clockwork
[15:05] {Threei} got NQ anyone?
[15:05] {Threei} or Qs?
[15:05] {Geo} no
[15:06] {Threei} come on... gave you exxact number this time
[15:06] {Threei} and it was hit perfectly
[15:06] {Threei} 11 points NQ
[15:06] {Threei} in one gasp
[15:06] {Geo} :(
[15:06] {Threei} 30 cents Qs
[15:06] {Threei} anyone??
06[15:07] * Threei removes himself to a very remote monastery
06[15:07] * Threei removes himself to a very remote monastery in Tibet without wi-fi
[15:07] {Geo} tivo?
06[15:07] * Threei removes himself to a very remote monastery in Tibet without wi-fi, Tivo but preferrably with strictly female personal
[15:08] {Chaeron} strick female personnel?
06[15:08] * Geo sending logs to the lady with the frying pan
06[15:08] * Threei cuts off Internet and burns down mailbox
[15:09] {Chaeron} drys
[15:09] {Geo} sniff NQ..... why did you leave without me?
[15:09] {Geo} 20 points
[15:09] {Threei} relief rally mode
[15:09] {Threei} pullbacks are for entry
[15:10] {Threei} pullbacks are likely to be severe
[15:10] {Threei} don't jump in on slight correction, wait for sharp down
[15:10] {Threei} Qs over 60 cents jump
[15:10] {Threei} and no takers
[15:10] {Threei} you guys...
[15:11] {Chaeron} a bit nervous... hesitant
[15:11] {Chaeron} and then, bam... too late
[15:11] {Geo} same here
[15:11] {Chaeron} more of psychological part of your training... not mechanical... important
[15:15] {Threei} oullback is likely here
[15:16] {Threei} Qs to about .60-.70
[15:16] {Threei} NQ to about 1210-1212
[15:17] {magoo} needs to reverse quick
[15:19] {Threei} one more leg down probably
[15:19] {Threei} very quick
[15:20] {Threei} entry time
[15:20] {Threei} in Q
[15:20] {Threei} .60
[15:20] {Threei} stop under .50
[15:21] {Threei} 1:2 in a hurry
[15:21] {Threei} out .78
[15:22] {Threei} anyone this time?
[15:22] {lisa_jay} .20 thanks Vad.
[15:22] {Threei} whew... no, thank you
[15:22] {Threei} a bit too soon out
[15:22] {Threei} but heck
[15:23] {lisa_jay} :-)
[15:23] {lisa_jay} I got .61 as entry, what would be the exit.
[15:23] {lisa_jay} Sorry - stop?
[15:23] {Threei} [15:20] {Threei} stop under .50
[15:23] {lisa_jay} Most are probably in the trade still.
[15:23] {lisa_jay} Thank you.
[15:24] {Threei} hmmm... thought of it of just a bounce scalp
[15:24] {Threei} underestimated market's eagerness to recover some
[15:25] {Threei} stuill pretty nervous out there
[15:25] {Threei} look how sharp pullbacks are
[15:25] {lisa_jay} yes.
[15:26] {dino} i'm using 8200-88 range for now.
[15:27] {dino} patience, your thoughts?
[15:28] {Threei} frankly, while I do appreciate these wide rane relatively fast days... today is too fast
[15:28] {Threei} hard to call things in time
[15:28] {Threei} have to almost type and lcik my entries at the same time
[15:29] {dino} yeah, i sat aside afternoon. too wierd
[15:29] {Geo} you need a typing monkey vad
[15:29] {Threei} I have a cat who walks on keyboard
[15:29] {Threei} will it do?
[15:29] {Geo} nope
[15:30] {_Dean} doing just fine until i had chicken for lunch
[15:30] {lisa_jay} Trust me...pets or kids only add to distractions.
[15:30] {Threei} let's try... come here george
[15:30] {Threei} cijfguy sjrha;aw9ugjd
[15:30] {Threei} makes sense?
[15:31] {Threei} OK, cat is out
[15:31] {Threei} this drop I don't like
[15:31] {Geo} today was tiring and wierd
[15:32] {Threei} violated upward channel
[15:32] {dino} could be the classic eod selloff
[15:32] {dino} go for lows or more
[15:32] {Threei} not buying this pullback for sure
[15:32] {Threei} this is not a pullback anymore
[15:32] {Threei} rather attenot to reverse the tren on 1 min
[15:33] {Threei} attempt
[15:33] {Threei} trend
[15:33] {Threei} lol
[15:33] {Threei} Geo... monkey would do better, I'll have to admit
[15:33] {Geo} :)
[15:34] {Threei} don't smile at me... you should be objecting, consoling, saying things like "no way, you are still better than monkey"
[15:34] {Geo} sheesh
[15:34] {Threei} lol
[15:34] {Geo} youre the best vad
[15:34] {Threei} great, now monkey feels deeply offended
[15:35] {Threei} OK, let's see if this bounce is short
[15:35] {Geo} man my head hurts from the psychedelic LII colors
[15:35] {Threei} Qs about .75
[15:35] {Threei} first weakness from here
[15:36] {Threei} in .74
[15:36] {Threei} stop .81
[15:37] {_Dean} in Q's .74 short
[15:37] {Threei} nervous jumping, not likeing it
[15:38] {Threei} prefer more smooth trades
[15:38] {Threei} out .65
[15:38] {Geo} half out
[15:39] {Threei} better now
[15:39] {Geo} 1/4 out
[15:39] {Threei} 1: alot
[15:40] {Threei} feel free to cover as you see fit
[15:41] {Geo} all out .51
[15:41] {Threei} too jumpy for my taste
[15:41] {Threei} I am a lazy tyoe, I hate struggling
[15:41] {Threei} profits must come easy
[15:42] {Threei} Dean?
[15:42] {Threei} you covered?
[15:44] {Threei} I find it hard to believe SLW price
[15:44] {_Case} Indeed.
[15:45] {Threei} you know what
[15:45] {Threei} it could be worth taking some overnight
[15:45] {Threei} stop under 3.30
[15:45] {_Case} It's almost at its IPO
[15:45] {_Dean} ou...
[15:45] {Threei} if today's bounce gets any continuastion tomorrow, it's very likely to get back to 4 at least
[15:46] {dino} what the?
[15:47] {Threei} lol
[15:47] {Threei} let me finish your sentence as Stewie would: What's the deuce??
[15:47] {hawkfan4} lol
[15:48] {Geo} wow dow +100
[15:48] {Geo} whats he range today?
[15:48] {dino} 8243-8795
[15:49] {Geo} nice
[15:49] {Threei} one of those near-extraordinary days
[15:49] {Threei} rally, sharp breakdown, new lows, rally again
[15:50] {Threei} all happening with lightning speed
[15:50] {Threei} I believe we handle it col-bloodedly enough (if that's a word)
[15:51] {Threei} hopefully tomorrow we get more of clear direction and a bit more manageable speed
[15:51] {Threei} and if not, our approach is the same:
[15:51] {_Dean} knocked over my bottle of gin...actually picked up +28 pts on QQQQ trade...4 for 4 today.
[15:51] {Threei} tight stops, reading things as they come, being easy to change the opinion
[15:51] {_Dean} Thanks Vad!
[15:51] {dino} gj
[15:51] {Threei} great job Dean
[15:51] {Geo} nice dean
[15:52] {Chaeron} nice one dean... and gin? must be Dean Martin
[15:52] {_Dean} Thanks guys!
[15:52] {Threei} if any of guests get any questions for tomorrow, prepare them and don't hesitate to ask
[15:52] {_Case} Thanks Vad
[15:52] {_Dean} have to stop drinking out of the bottle.
[15:52] {Threei} case :)
[15:53] {Threei} not taking any more trades today
[15:53] {Threei} took SLW overnight
[15:53] {Threei} unless it goes to 4 today, lol
[15:53] {_Case} Wouldn't surprise me :-)
[15:53] {Threei} lol, no kidding
[15:53] {Threei} any questions so far guys?
[15:53] {Threei} gals?
[15:54] {dino} dean's worse than magoo, at least he waits until 3:30 to crack a beer
[15:54] {Threei} lol
[15:55] {_Dean} enjoying every minute of it too....
[15:55] {dino} :)
[15:56] {_Case} FXE smells of USD reversal, if it occurs overnight I guess we get Vad's SLW target price at premarket
[15:56] {_Dean} dino.)
[15:56] {Threei} I won't mind
[15:56] {Threei} nothing's sweeter than to start day with +.50
[15:56] {_Case} :-)
[15:57] {Threei} and with about 15 cents risk... shrug
[15:57] {Threei} Ok guys, thank you all
[15:57] {Threei} have a great evening
[15:57] {_Case} Thanks are ours Vad
[15:57] {Threei} see you all tomorrow
[15:57] {_Case} For sure
[15:57] {_Case} and also Monday :-)
[15:58] {Threei} if there is Monday
[15:58] {Threei} interventionists may just cancel it
[15:58] {Threei} or whole October
[15:58] {_Case} Good point.
[15:58] {Threei} or whole fall
[15:59] {magoo} TY vad
[15:59] {_Case} Thanks everybody. It was fun. See you
[16:00] {peterg} bBye aalll
[16:00] {dptl} have a good evening all
[16:01] {_Dean} Thank you everyone!

Session Time: Wed Oct 22 00:00:01 2008

[08:20] {_eliaun} Good Morning all
[08:20] {Threei} Good morning
[08:21] {_eliaun} a lot of trouts were hit yesterday
[08:21] {Threei} that's how we express happiness
[08:21] {Threei} unhappiness
[08:21] {Threei} appreciation of other human being
[08:22] {Threei} lack of such
[08:22] {Threei} and any other emotion or absence of it
[08:22] {Threei} what can I say... we are limited in our ways of explressing
06[08:24] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[08:24] {Threei} and here is practical illustration
[08:25] {magoo} morning lol
[08:25] {Threei} :)
[08:25] {magoo} they keep changing rules vad...they halted AAPL before call last night..never halted before
[08:26] {Threei} not really true
[08:26] {Threei} AAPL was being halted before earnings announcement regularly
[08:26] {Threei} they stopped doing thatg for a while
[08:26] {Threei} now resumed that practice, but I remember it happening from 1997
[08:26] {Threei} probably by company request
[08:30] {magoo} that does it......................
06[08:30] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[08:30] {Threei} NWA
[08:30] {Threei} REPORTS Q3 -$1.20 V $0.25E
[08:33] {Threei} - The reported results include a $410 million non-cash charge associated with marking-to-market out-of-period fuel hedges as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.
[08:34] {lisa_jay} Good morning.
[08:34] {Threei} lisa :)
[08:35] {Threei} I guess airlines got hit badly by fuel hedging
[08:36] {Threei} this incredible volatility in oil prices makes business planning tough
[08:38] {magoo} vad, do u know if our hard stops do not work afterhours?
[08:38] {Threei} no idea
[08:38] {Threei} I barely ever use them during market hours
[08:38] {magoo} i know
[08:38] {Threei} let alone after :)
[08:48] {lisa_jay} Vad, when you talk about aggressive entries (like ADBE) with sharp spike in NQ, what specifically should i be looking for.
[08:48] {lisa_jay} Thank you.
[08:49] {Threei} let's start with defining aggressive entry
[08:50] {lisa_jay} ok.
[08:50] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/blog/2007/07/how-aggressive-are-you.html
[08:51] {lisa_jay} I did read that article.
[08:51] {Threei} from here,
[08:51] {Threei} instead of waiting for the setup with a certain trigger
[08:51] {Threei} you use general market as leading indicator (in a case of a stock that does follow the market)
[08:52] {Threei} and when market changes direction, you grab your stock - providing there is a delay that gives you a window of opportunity
[08:54] {lisa_jay} What exaclty constitues a sharp spike, vs just market movement. Also what settings for you nq (to set my charts to the same thing).
[08:54] {Threei} 1 minute chart
[08:55] {Threei} what constitutes sharp spike... well, it's a matter of observation
[08:55] {Threei} sudfden move, big enough and fast enough
[08:55] {Threei} merely 1-2 points uptick is not really it
[08:56] {lisa_jay} Ok, thank you.
[09:00] {lisa_jay} SNDK ouch...Samsung pulls deal.
[09:10] {dptl} good morning all
[09:10] {Threei} DELL is scaringly close to 52 week low
[09:10] {Threei} dp :)
[09:12] {Onix} Good morning all
[09:12] {Threei} Onix :)
[09:13] {Threei} if we get market drop and DELL forms a range close enough for a reasonable stop, break of 12.27 should serve as a short trigger
[09:14] {Threei} most likely a scalp
[09:22] {hawkfan4} good morning
[09:23] {dino} gm, running late, just sold the foreclosure flip
[09:23] {Threei} hawk, dino :)
[09:25] {Geo} gm all

06[10:08] * Geo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[10:08] {Geo} or was it if it didnt?
[10:09] {Threei} at your discretion
[10:09] {Geo} thats rather nice of you in the morning vad
[10:10] {Threei} it felt very much like another run in the making while it held close to 15 during market drop...
[10:10] {Geo} .15 being defended dell
[10:10] {Threei} but to bring myself to call it after such a spike over last days is another matter
[10:10] {Threei} especially considering how volatile it is
[10:11] {dino} csh sm l .00
[10:11] {Geo} not anymore i guess
[10:11] {Threei} }DELL} nah... I am indefensible

[11:43] {lisa_jay} cal
[11:43] {lisa_jay} sorry wrong screen
[11:55] {dino} pressure building imo, this maket is going to either pop or drop hard
[11:56] {lisa_jay} Do you follow ticks and other market internals....if so we are seeing high +ve ticks vs -ve...so pop maybe.
[11:58] {dino} i don't lisa.
[11:58] {dino} more of a gut feel, watching scanners
[11:58] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks Dino.
[11:59] {dino} :)

[11:59] {Geo} i just have a vad alert
[11:59] {dino} i may be wrong, but feels up
[11:59] {Threei} sometimes it gets cloudy because magoo is blocking the line of sight

[13:00] {dptl} ok ty
[13:01] {Threei} balance stopped on NQ and QID
[13:04] {lisa_jay} Vad is there an alternative way to play QID & NQ calls...my platform does not allow me to short QID. Thanks.
[13:04] {Threei} play long QQQQ instead
[13:04] {Threei} just less effective
[13:04] {Threei} less risk too
[13:06] {lisa_jay} ok, thanks
[13:06] {Threei} compare ranges... 70 cents QQQQ vs 3.20 or so QID
[13:07] {Threei} gives you idea of volatility
[13:08] {lisa_jay} yes, there was a 15c move in qqqq since your call (appx.)
[13:09] {Threei} out balance NTRI .40
[13:09] {Threei} shuld have stay with plan, designated it as a scalp from the get-go
[13:11] {Threei} and should have taken those typing courses

[13:12] {Threei} oh, and should have ignored those humor development course - obviously wasted money
[13:12] {Threei} yes
[13:12] {lisa_jay} Lol.
[13:12] {Threei} or maybe not...
[13:13] {Threei} lol
[13:13] {Threei} UAUA nice drop

[13:26] {Threei} UAUA refuses to lose .50

[13:28] {Threei} - Remarks that is positive that other non-OPEC countries will support and contribute to the cut in production
[13:30] {Threei} last time I looked their cost of extraction was around $1-3 per barrel
[13:30] {Threei} what is "low price" for them?
[13:31] {dino} 50

[15:08] {Threei} wanted UAUA short .50 but it broke way too fast
[15:08] {Threei} not sure about bounce
[15:09] {Threei} had in mind quick scalp, and that played out in seconds
[15:10] {Threei} CNN at the time talked about website rendered credible source by analysts,
[15:10] {Threei} calling for an attack on US before the election
[15:11] {Threei} bounce was still a good entry on UAUA...
[15:12] {magoo} not so smart..dubya will kick their asses
[15:12] {magoo} wait for oisama obama
[15:12] {Threei} according to analysts their idea is to impact the election itself
[15:12] {Threei} trying to support McCain by attack
[15:12] {magoo} it would hurt obama..help mccain
[15:12] {Threei} right
[15:12] {Threei} and that's what they want
[15:13] {Geo} why?
[15:13] {Geo} not in their interest?
[15:13] {Threei} to keep fighting
[15:13] {Geo} crap
[15:13] {Threei} keep USA engaged
[15:13] {Threei} try to exhaust
[15:13] {Threei} and keep their mission alive
[15:14] {Geo} cant we nuke em?
[15:14] {Geo} please?
[15:16] {lisa_jay} Look at Uaua break 14.
[15:17] {Geo} QID almost 79
[15:17] {Threei} yeah... I took short and .20, scalped covering at 14.06
[15:17] {Threei} too risky to call
[15:18] {Threei} see how it teleports?
[15:18] {Threei} 10-15 cents
[15:18] {Threei} almost with no traades inbetween, just disappears in one spot and surfaces in another
[15:18] {lisa_jay} Yes.
[15:18] {Threei} -480 DJI
[15:18] {Threei} end of the world is coming again?
[15:20] {Threei} took small QID
[15:20] {Threei} stop under .80
[15:21] {Threei} held like charm so far
[15:21] {Threei} now go
[15:21] {Threei} stopped
[15:22] {Threei} need sufficient pullback for more confident entry
[15:23] {dino} how about bush putting that warning out just to frighten voters to mccain
[15:23] {Threei} what an ubelievably touching e-mail
[15:23] {Threei} Here writes Madam Margaret Clark, suffering from cancerous ailment. I am married to Engineer Gilbert Clark an Englishman who is dead.
[15:23] {Threei} I am crying
[15:23] {Geo} how many million vad?
[15:23] {Threei} My husband died after a protracted illness. My husband and I made a vow to uplift the
[15:23] {Threei} down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals as he had passion for persons who can not help themselves due to physical disability or
[15:23] {Threei} financial predicament.
[15:23] {Threei} wait... I am still crying
[15:24] {Geo} did i tell you i reply to all of them?
[15:24] {Geo} one line only
[15:24] {Geo} send me 100 by paypal and well talk
[15:24] {Threei} hehe
[15:24] {Threei} oops
[15:24] {Threei} 4.4 Million (four million Four Hundred Thousand USD)
[15:24] {Threei} nah
[15:24] {Threei} too small
[15:24] {Geo} every time they reply back and protest i double it
[15:25] {Geo} never worked beyond 3rd reply though
[15:25] {Geo} :(
[15:25] {Threei} there is a guy in UK I think who engages with them and tries to milk them
[15:25] {Threei} sometimes successfully
[15:25] {Threei} quite dangerous game, many are hardened criminals
[15:26] {Threei} Recently, my Doctor told me that I have limited days to live due to the cancerous problems I am
[15:26] {Threei} suffering from. Though what bothers me most is the stroke that I have in addition to the cancer.
[15:26] {Threei} back to crying
[15:26] {Threei} couldn't bering myself to go for this bounce UAUA
[15:27] {Threei} probably because of all the crying
[15:29] {Threei} more flush is coming
[15:29] {peterg} dow 500
[15:29] {peterg} back to the submarine, while plunging
[15:29] {Threei} did we go through all the gaps yet?
[15:30] {Threei} yeah
[15:30] {Threei} NEW YORK FED SAYS THAT THE FED WILL EXPAND THE MONEY MARKET BUYING PLAN BEYOND THE INITIAL LIST OF 50 CANDIDATE FIRMS
[15:31] {Threei} so, are we aiming for total state ownership of everything?
[15:33] {Threei} pcause if so, why worry whether one of candidates is sociaist
