Jul 16 2009

Mostly inactive second half of the day (what else is new?) but the morning brought profits on WFC, RIMM and AA - this last one was real torture speed wise. Can't be too picky in the summer trading though.

[10:04] {_mikej} xlnx ?

[10:04] {Threei} stop is a bit too far and stock isa bit too thin

[10:04] {BillyD} yeah, it is jumpy

[10:05] {ese} blind sided by the philly fed again

[10:05] {Threei} leave XLNX alone guys... that was specific question I answered, and jf knows how to play that one... kind of individual stock and setup

[10:06] {dino} sds l .60

[10:06] {jfjf64} sorry guys

[10:06] {nemo} don't do it again jf

[10:06] {nemo} :)

[10:07] {dino} out sds .72, +.12

[10:07] {magoo} AIG vad dumps

[10:08] {Threei} yeah, too bad it's non-shortable today

[10:08] {larisa} I can, close eyes, short and wait for 10 ?

[10:08] {nemo} funny girl

[10:08] {Threei} first two plays were easy... don't really want our third one to be AIG long, lol

[10:09] {larisa} :)

[10:10] {jfjf64} .55 l nok

[10:11] {Threei} .76 is a long trigger though if holding .65

[10:11] {Threei} and .64 is short trigger

[10:11] {BillyD} aig Vad?

[10:11] {Threei} yeah

[10:12] {BillyD} invalidated right?

[10:12] {Threei} yup

[10:14] {jfjf64} nok invalid here

[10:16] {larisa} vad RIMM you called off higher low? it was perfect price div, but you do not look for such things, right? ty

[10:16] {magoo} vad, look AA

[10:17] {Threei} wtaching

[10:18] {Threei} why not larisa? of course I do

[10:18] {Threei} that was double bottom, higher low, range established betgween .20 and .40,

[10:18] {Threei} one more pullback bottoming out above .25,

[10:18] {Threei} .40 becoming perfect trigger

[10:20] {Threei} Long Setup: AA .20 break if stays above .10

[10:21] {larisa} plus price divergence with all possible indicators. Was perfect setup, nice call RIMM

[10:21] {Threei} well, that I wouldn't know since I don't watych any indicators :)

[10:22] {jfjf64} nice larissa

[10:22] {larisa} this is why I ask, genius vad :)

[10:22] {Threei} lol

[10:22] {nemo} How much you pay her, Vad?

[10:22] {Threei} I missed the "price div", thought you meant higher low

[10:22] {Threei} Short Setup: RIMM .60 break half lot

[10:23] {BillyD} I am glad you asked, at first glanc eI did not see what Vad was calling and passed on trade....now I know better

[10:23] {Threei} if stays below .75

[10:24] {BillyD} does the RIMM spike invalidate it?

[10:25] {Threei} not if it trades for a min or two under .75 again

[10:25] {Threei} but another move over .75 will

[10:25] {BillyD} ok, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't

[10:25] {Threei} yeah

[10:26] {Threei} brief spike with very few trades, kind of natural volatility for this one

[10:26] {BillyD} with AIG spike below .64 and it's overall weakness made that spike more confirming right?

[10:26] {Threei} after all, we are trying to nail setup with 15 cents range on a very volatile stock

[10:26] {Threei} gotta give it some leeway

[10:26] {dino} sds s .50

[10:27] {Threei} now RIMM is fully invaliadetd

[10:27] {Threei} and in fact became a fade

[10:27] {Threei} but I had no time to call it, lol

[10:27] {BillyD} does my AIG comment make sense?

[10:27] {Threei} yup

[10:28] {BillyD} ok, just trying to follow

[10:28] {_bradc} AA?

[10:28] {Threei} still valid

[10:29] {Threei} it actually formed two setups in one...

[10:29] {Threei} one for scalpers

[10:29] {Threei} .20 break long with stop under .15

[10:29] {Threei} one for daytraders, with srtop under .10

[10:29] {Threei} whatever rocks your boat, both are valid

[10:29] {dino} cov sds .38, +.12

[10:30] {Threei} RIMM{ if I were smart and called two-sided setup in advance, we would have had over 1:1 here

[10:31] {Threei} 1:2

[10:31] {Threei} why oh why am I not smart

[10:32] {BillyD} get smarter

[10:32] {Threei} I will try my best

[10:32] {dino} you want me to slap the stupid out of you?

[10:32] {BillyD} rofl

[10:32] {Threei} I am afraid by doing that you will slap the whole me out of me

[10:33] {jfjf64} market movin nice

[10:33] {nemo} you'd have to hit him in the ass Dino

[10:33] {dino} or how about we change your nickname to meathead

[10:33] {texus} anyone else in AA?

[10:33] {Threei} nah, I better go to monastery

[10:33] {larisa} you either smart or genius, can not be both

[10:33] {dino} no but i should be

[10:34] {Threei} yes tex

[10:34] {nemo} yes

[10:34] {Threei} it triggered fair and square, why the doubt

[10:34] {fernp} in AA. yes

[10:35] {texus} didn't see anyone say they were in, all good :)

[10:35] {jfjf64} in aa tex

[10:35] {jfjf64} lets goooooooooooooooooooooooo

[10:35] {Threei} they hold out on us tex

[10:35] {Threei} then if it works they all say sure we wer

[10:35] {texus} ahhh...

[10:36] {Threei} if it doesn't, they say "of course we skipped it, it was so stupid to call it"

[10:36] {jfjf64} quiet assins ya trainin vad

[10:36] {Threei} lol

[10:36] {dino} lol

[10:36] {fernp} and in HIG from ,80 with stop under .70

[10:36] {Threei} wow, that was a good setup

[10:37] {fernp} ty

[10:37] {Threei} but fern held out on us too

[10:37] {nemo} volume dropping on AA increase

[10:38] {jfjf64} thanks nemo

[10:39] {wulff} WFC if you believe

[10:39] {Threei} WFC, I looked at it at .80, was nice-looking setup

[10:40] {Threei} just felt like a bit too operfect

[10:40] {Threei} and market was quite uncertain... so I refrained

[10:41] {Threei} AA used to be much faster than this

[10:42] {jfjf64} aig vad .80 break ya lk

[10:42] {wulff} Cramer pushing SNDK big

[10:42] {Threei} not sure jf

[10:42] {Threei} kind of 50/50

[10:43] {jfjf64} no lk 50/50 ty

[10:43] {Threei} see, AIG here is a pure risk based setup

[10:43] {Threei} what I mean by yhis is:

[10:43] {dino} sds l .20

[10:43] {Threei} it can go up or down in such situation as this with equal odds,

[10:44] {Threei} so if you find a formation with stop tight enough for you to shrug it off if not working, it's a valid play

[10:45] {magoo} too funny cause i took .75

[10:45] {magoo} before

[10:45] {jfjf64} thats what is hard to find stop formation i luv

[10:45] {magoo} low

[10:45] {Threei} well, low of the range

[10:45] {Threei} is natural support

[10:45] {Threei} thus becomes a stop if broken

[10:46] {jfjf64} .60

[10:46] {Threei} yes for a scalp

[10:46] {Threei} there is one more support level near .50

[10:46] {Threei} if you go for a longer trade, gotta give it a bit more room

[10:47] {Threei} and then of course whole array of different kinds of entries come into play...

[10:47] {jfjf64} go magoo

[10:47] {Threei} regular vs aggressive vs consevative

[10:47] {magoo} could rip

[10:47] {magoo} thats why interested

[10:47] {Threei} magoo went for regular

[10:47] {Threei} you eyed a bit more conservative

[10:47] {jfjf64} ty vad

[10:48] {jfjf64} that stop to bg for me

[10:48] {Threei} everyone knows/remembers diferent kinds of entries and their trade-offs?

[10:48] {BillyD} yes

[10:48] {jfjf64} but 3x hittin off.80 hmm

[10:49] {BillyD} now or never AA

[10:49] {Threei} {AA} don't pressure me

[10:50] {jfjf64} forgot aa how funny must be up BIG this week ty vad

[10:50] {Threei} welcome sir... nice to hear

[10:51] {magoo} out ,87

[10:51] {dino} out sds .32, +.12

[10:51] {magoo} will most likely reload

[10:51] {nemo} market ddrop

[10:51] {jfjf64} gj magoo

[10:52] {Threei} (US) Senator Bunning: States FDIC's Bair has stated that up to 500 more banks could fail (related XLF )

[10:53] {fernp} AA stop is still under .10, no?

[10:53] {jfjf64} need market to bounce movin avg for aa

[10:54] {Threei} {AA} told ya I do things at my own pace

[10:54] {Threei} no fern, I'd move it to under .15

[10:54] {BillyD} it was subtle suggestion technique

[10:54] {Threei} and scalpers got their 1:1

[10:54] {fernp} ty

[10:55] {dino} (US) dino says maybe more maybe less than 500 failures...see i could be politician too

[10:55] {nemo} a weatherman or economist also

[10:56] {Threei} isn't it ironic: magoo who hates slow stocks brought the slowest of today's plays, AA

[10:56] {magoo} but im not in it

[10:56] {nemo} frickin' comic book characters

[10:56] {Threei} say what?

[10:56] {magoo} not my type

[10:56] {nemo} fcx vad

06[10:56] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large roll of cash

[10:56] {jfjf64} wide lines hd that feelin gettin in

[10:57] {Threei} CIT CNBC's Faber private equity and fixed income firms are in some talks to secure financing (0.41, -1.23, -75.13%)

[10:58] {Threei} well FCX...

[10:58] {Threei} FCX formal long trigger is .80 break...

[10:58] {Threei} but stop is quite wide

[10:58] {Threei} and stock is far from easy

[10:58] {nemo} been building a base though around .70

[10:58] {Threei} .70 is not a reliable support

[10:59] {jfjf64} look cof very strong

[10:59] {dino} sds l .35

[10:59] {nemo} should we move stop to .20 on aa?

[10:59] {jfjf64} market sellin this flyin

[11:00] {Threei} kind of personal preference nemo

[11:15] {Threei} not sure

[11:15] {Threei} get this:

[11:15] {Threei} US House Speaker Pelosi: Some of the wealth surtax could be used to pay down the Govt deficit

[11:15] {dino} why oh why don't we cut something rather than tax and spend

[11:16] {Threei} better yet: spend more than we taxed, so then we raise tax to compensate for overspending

[11:16] {jfjf64} cof interestin bulls bears fightin

[11:16] {Threei} and of course collecting more tax, we raise the spending again

[11:17] {Threei} but as Tatcher said... the problem with socialism is, sooner or later you run out of other people's money

[11:17] {dino} between state and federal taxes, the projections for these changes are at 55% tax rate, notcounting real estate/school taxes

[11:19] {dino} sds l .60

[11:19] {ese} I hadn't heard that saying before vad....but thats oh so true

[11:21] {dino} and i still think the dumbest thing is we spend 300-600 billion on oil, while we have enough nat. gas to last 150 years. it could power everthing

[11:21] {dino} not to mention the jobs it would create.

[11:22] {nemo} environmentalists 1) don't want a carbon based source of energy, and 2) don't want cheap energy

[11:23] {dino} you said it nemo

[11:24] {nemo} What's really scary, although, if they started with the Capitol and each state house, I wouldn't be opposed; many of the environmental groups believe in a radical reduction in the earth's population

[11:25] {Threei} and 3) want us all to wear fabric bags with holes for the head and arms and live in caves

[11:25] {dino} bunch of idiots w/$

[11:25] {nemo} Having said that, if they want to volunteer for population reduction, I'll gladly offer my services for free

[11:26] {dino} lol

[15:03] {Threei} don't trade out of general idea... that would be thinking

[15:04] {Threei} and thinking is not good for your trading

[09:41] {Threei} don't want to get caught into sudden downturn
[09:42] {Threei} it worked too well yesterday, maybe it's back to its old tricks
[09:45] {Threei} Short Setup: RIMM .50 break
[09:45] {Threei} half lot
[09:46] {magoo} in rimm
[09:46] {Threei} stop is self-explanatory
[09:50] {Threei} if you are very stingy, RIMM can be trailed to above .60
[09:50] {dino} yum l .00
[09:50] {Threei} loss of .45 shoudl send it down
[09:51] {Threei} ok... drop already
[09:52] {jfjf64} lets go ya dog
[09:52] {Threei} stop to above .60 for sure
[09:52] {Threei} 5 cents shy of 1:1? come on?
[09:54] {dino} bwld sm l .50
[09:54] {Threei} stop to .55
[09:56] {magoo} covered rimm .41 TY had fl
[09:56] {Threei} the easiest way would be to take smallish scalp on RIMM, yeah
[09:56] {Threei} I just think we may not get a lot of plays later on
[09:56] {Threei} so with minimal risk here want to give this one a chance
[09:56] {Threei} personal choice
[09:56] {magoo} i didnt like up move aapl
[09:56] {nemo} we're not getting much for plays now
[09:57] {Threei} nope
[09:57] {Threei} there... you were right

[09:58] {Threei} INTC, I'd prefer to see double bottom for entry
[09:59] {Threei} one more dive, into .75 roughly
[09:59] {Threei} yep, like this
[09:59] {Threei} now, .82 is long if no new low
[09:59] {Threei} with stop located right under the low of this pullback
[09:59] {Threei} see the play's structure?
[10:01] {Threei} there you go...
[10:03] {BillyD} I think I have a quote problem...
[10:03] {Threei} 1:1 for scalpers
[10:03] {fernp} ty Vad. I am out
[10:03] {Threei} :)
[10:04] {BillyD} did INTC jump from .81 to .84 bid on you Vad with no prints?
[10:04] {Threei} need quotes Billy?
[10:04] {Threei} there were prints, just too fast,
[10:04] {Threei} but then it did pullback right into .82 offer
[10:04] {Threei} and hit my bid
[10:04] {fernp} yes Bill It did it, then pullback
[10:04] {Threei} that's where I typed "there you go"
[10:04] {nemo} yeah that's how I bought
[10:04] {BillyD} ok...that helps me then
[10:05] {Threei} sorry Billy... didn't mean to be so helpful, not my nature... don't want to shock you by sudden change in my behavior pattern
[10:05] {BillyD} it's ok...I never took it that way
[10:05] {BillyD} :)
[10:05] {Threei} whew
[10:06] {BillyD} your reputation is in tact
[10:06] {Threei} now, halve a look at 1 min INTC

[10:46] {larisa} ese one day you have to tell the story, what made you play big size lots and how did you gain confidence doing it, had winning streak at the beginning? just interested in huge lots player mindset :) wanna be brave like you :)
[10:46] {nemo} you would have had to do alot of mind altering experimentation when you were younger Larry
[10:47] {Threei} funny Larisa - he just told this story at the dinner this very Sunday, lol
[10:47] {larisa} does not help me :)
[10:48] {Threei} hey, you were invited :)
[10:48] {larisa} lol
[10:49] {ese} hi larissa.......after watching vads scalp trading video i caught onto the trading more than 1000 sh lots.
[10:49] {BillyD} out amzn -.15
[10:49] {Threei} chop chop started
[10:49] {ese} up to then i was getting winners but had to always wait for them to make .20 or so to pay off
[10:50] {ese} it just seemed to make sense to do the larger lots depending on volume and shortter stops.
[10:50] {wulff} INTC
[10:51] {ese} I also combined that with some of financial analysis/valuations that i learned with taking the canadian securities course
[10:52] {ese} coupled that with technical analysis to get some botoms in some stocks like fitb and intc and went very large with them
[10:54] {larisa} so having 10K and 1K is the same level of pressure for you ? you trained yourself? :)
[10:54] {ese} but i don't hang around anymore when they pay off....the old es used to hang around with the swing trading i was doing and would eventually loose the profit that i made
[10:54] {ese} i guess i coupled that with vads scalping process into a system that seems to work for me
[10:55] {Threei} larisa... the idea of scalp type I is much shorter market exposure time
[10:55] {ese} yes 10k and 1k are the same
[10:55] {ese} yes tks vad.....definately much shorter exposure time
[10:55] {larisa} in my mind scalping does not mix with big lots, but rather contradicts, this is why i am asking
[10:55] {larisa} trying to understand
[10:56] {Threei} why... just opposte in fact
[10:56] {Threei} smaller stops and better risk control allow for bigger lots
[10:56] {nemo} Larry, if the volume/liquidity is sufficient, what's the problem
[10:56] {Threei} if you go for a swing trade, your stop will naturally be wider
[10:56] {ese} you can scalp big lots....but it has to be with stocks that trade basically 10,000,000shs per day
[10:56] {Threei} since ou have to base the trade on larger time frame,
[10:57] {Threei} thus more price swings are being accounted for.
[10:57] {Threei} With day trade, your stop will be narrower
[10:57] {Threei} since you look at lesser time frame charts,
[10:57] {Threei} wich allows for more shares
[10:57] {Threei} and with scalp it's being taken to the extreme
[10:58] {Threei} Liquidity must be incorporated of course
[10:58] {Threei} and that's why ese does it on such thick stocks as INTC or FITB
[10:59] {Threei} makes sense?

[11:03] {Threei} man, maybe... but musician is the last thing you could call me
[11:04] {Threei} I mean if I sing, people think WW3 started
[11:05] {larisa} you ever played 10k vad ?

[09:20] {Threei} AIG forms breakout, believe it or not

[09:20] {Threei} I am not a buyer here, it's not really breakout stock

[09:21] {nemo} guess that means it'll breakout

[09:21] {Threei} let's see if WFC forms resistance close enough for a decent stop placement

[09:22] {Threei} ideally would like to see it staying under .90

[09:22] {Threei} then .80 break would be a nice short trigger with relativeley small stop

[09:22] {Threei} don't go crazy on size though, this one is capable of disgusting slippage

[09:25] {ese} GM
