Somewhat frustrating day - we did fine profit wise, but the potential was much larger if only we recognized "slow grind up" day in time. Been awhile since we had that, so it kind of caught me off guard today. A few scalps, couple smallish stops and most noticeable trade was a nice DNDN short, classic breakdown setup

[09:13] {Threei} - Expects real estate and construction sector to remain weak in near term.
[09:13] {Threei} - Latest GDP figures indicate a sustainable recovery, decline in unemployment will take time.
[09:13] {Threei} - Consumer spending and business investment is driving the recovery.
[09:13] {Threei} - Inflation is low at the moment but it is unlikely to remain as such; the public clearly expects inflation to rise.
[09:18] {RonS} gm all - zlc, cgen, swhc squeeze candidates. It is notable to me that the last time swhc got hot was during the angst of the last meltdown and O election

[10:35] {Threei} too much presure by droppng market
[10:35] {Les} ok. 2 stops now on AIG. that's enough
[10:35] {jfjf64} yup
[10:35] {jfjf64} looked lk was holdin up
[10:35] {jfjf64} to much pressur
[10:35] {Threei} yeah... but remember how many times I said I hated buying breaks on AIG
[10:36] {Threei} it's just not a breakout stock
[10:36] {nemo} so many can't remember
[10:36] {Threei} it explodes niecly off pullbacks
[10:36] {Les} fooled me first time with .05 stop as market sold off. Then it exploded
[10:36] {Threei} hard to time but that's about the only thing that works consistently on it
[10:39] {magoo} ive been losing on AIG of late...been harder it seems
[10:39] {dino} too fast for me
[10:40] {Les} out ACTG flat. not hanging around all day for it to move.
[10:40] {Threei} flat??
[10:40] {dino} pcln lod
[10:40] {Threei} where did you bought it?
[10:40] {Les} too late
[10:40] {dino} watching expe off it

[10:41] {Threei} Raven fell of his chair
[10:41] {dino} qcom stop is .34
[10:42] {dino} wow pcln is fast
[10:42] {Threei} see what AIG did?
[10:43] {Threei} perfect momo move, but not off breakout
[10:43] {Threei} look through its chart today, it's very typical
[10:43] {Threei} a lot of good moves, but none of them are off classic break
[10:43] {Threei} evcery break is atraop,
[10:43] {Threei} pullback below support shakes you out,
[10:44] {Threei} then it explodes
[10:44] {Les} yeh cursing it
[10:44] {Threei} If you want to play it, observe this pattern and try to get its rythm
[10:45] {Threei} wow, this guy's English is more confusing than mine:
[10:45] {Threei} Fed's Lacker: have to be wary of hesitating on rate hikes while fanancial market is continues to be fragile
[10:45] {Threei} have to be wary of hesitating
[10:45] {Threei} normally I hesitate to be wary
[10:46] {dino} china report spooked lacker
[10:46] {RonS} ...maybe he is nary to be wary...
[10:46] {dino} maybe the fed heads should shut up
[10:46] {Threei} yet, ikn the next breath he adds:
[10:46] {Threei} still fairly comfortable with "extended period" language
[10:46] {magoo} ok vad, i took aig .61 pllbk
[10:46] {dino} all they do is talk and add crazy shakeouts

[10:47] {dino} ok, i stand corrected, they should all shut up
[10:47] {Threei} lol
[10:47] {Threei} that I side with wholeheartedly
[10:48] {Threei} AIG's pullbacks are usually deeper
[10:48] {Threei} entry like .61 is valid for a quick scalp on bounce
[10:48] {dino} -4-.50 pcln
[10:48] {dino} -40.50 i mean
[10:48] {Threei} but if you hunt for bigger move, I'd prefer waiting for bigger pullback

[10:56] {Threei} I feel like I need this SQNm product
[10:57] {dino} why are they saying that, congress and obamination are getting fuel off of this
[10:57] {Threei} no kidding
[10:57] {Threei} amazes me
[10:57] {Threei} they are trying to impress clients
[10:57] {Threei} but draw so much fire
[10:57] {RonS} ...remember 3i...it's "God's work"...or is it we are gods...
[10:57] {Threei} I think they just don't realize how it sounds for ordinary folks
[10:57] {Threei} yeah... that was another PR gem
[10:58] {dino} reminds me of drexel
[10:58] {RonS} ...how it sounds?!...how about what it is?!
[10:58] {Threei} I don't know what it is
[10:59] {Threei} I am not that quick to write it off as manipulation
[10:59] {RonS} ...impossible without frontrunning the whole thing...
[10:59] {Threei} well...
[10:59] {Threei} I understand the thinking Ron,
[10:59] {Threei} but
[10:59] {Les} DNDN looks like its flaming out
[10:59] {Threei} I had about what, 4 or 5 weeks uninterrupted winning streak earlier this year
[11:00] {Les} still holding 50 ma support. waiting for break of that
[11:00] {Threei} and it looks absolutely surreal to practcicaly anyone I speak to
[11:00] {Les} and there it goes
[11:00] {Threei} and I have, as you well understand, nothing of GS's qualification and resourses
[11:00] {Threei} and don't forget:
[11:00] {RonS} ...but consider the scale 3i
[11:00] {Threei} they have a lot of traders who kind of average each other
[11:01] {Threei} if out of their, I don't know, 100 let's say
[11:01] {Threei} 10 have losing day today
[11:01] {Threei} 90 others cover them
[11:01] {Threei} so, while on a surface those stats do look beyond possible
[11:01] {Threei} I would label them as remarkable
[11:02] {Threei} but not completely out of realm of possible
[11:02] {dino} it is self hedged
[11:02] {Threei} with their scale, resources, awareness... I would certainly expect them to beat my averages, no? :)
[11:03] {Threei} let me out it this way:
[11:03] {Threei} put
[11:03] {RonS} ...for the duration of the performance I deem it impossible..but so be it
[11:03] {Threei} I don't know how they do it... neither do those who say it's a proof of manipulation,
[11:03] {Threei} we need more information to deem it ultimately this way or other,
[11:04] {Threei} but
[11:04] {dino} really does not matter. what will happen will happen
[11:04] {Threei} I will be disappointed if manipulatuion is the answer,
[11:04] {Threei} while the other side will be dosappointed if real trading talent is the answer :)

[12:04] {Threei} (GR) Greece to formally request 20B from the euro bailout fund
[12:04] {Threei} oh, so all the brouhaha of last month was just informal request
[12:06] {Threei} US Senate approves Sanders amendment on GAO audit of the Fed; vote 96-0

[12:10] {Threei} here it is:
[12:10] {Threei} - amendment allows a look at recipients of emergency aid during the financial crisis; and contains no language permitting a regular audit
[12:10] {nemo} so an audit that doesn't audit
[12:11] {dino} lol, but they can campaign that they voted fed audit
[12:11] {Threei} exactly
[12:11] {Threei} nothing but grandstanding
[12:11] {Threei} with zero substance

[12:18] {Threei} She hated people who thought too much. She struck me as an appropriate representative for almost all mankind. Her expression implied that she would go crazy on the spot if anybody did any more thinking.

[12:42] {RonS} ya...and the yen spike 30 minutes before that...tell me something I do not know SEC
[12:43] {Threei} - Does not appear that any single event cause the market plunge on 6/5, no evidence supports theories of a fat finger trade leading to the plunge.
[12:43] {strider} ok VAD. fes up...was it you?
[12:43] {Threei} no, I was offline, remember?
[12:43] {Les} oops there goes conspiracy theories...
[12:43] {strider} that's what YOU said.
[12:44] {Threei} (oh thank goodness for well thought through alibi!)
[12:44] {nemo} breaking new highs at lunch oy
[12:45] {Threei} There is no evidence that hackers or terrorists were involved in the market plunge.
[12:45] {strider} however, I did notice _notvad was lurking.
[12:45] {Threei} argh
[12:45] {Threei} told him to stay away
[12:45] {strider} Gotcha! I wasn't here either.
[12:46] {Threei} there
[12:46] {Threei} :)
[12:46] {strider} A confession by trickery.
[12:47] {Threei} here is funny thing:
[12:47] {Threei} a month ago I would nail the day like today perfectly
[12:47] {Threei} events of last couple weeks changed the game,
[12:47] {Threei} and changed my mindset
[12:47] {Threei} no longer do I look for whole day climbs
[12:47] {Threei} so it caught me off guard
[12:48] {Threei} and that's all thinking I am going to do today

[12:54] {Threei} my computer disconnected from internet, so I couldn't tell whether your trading good or bad, so why don't you make a room voice and video based so it would be more professional
[12:54] {Les} must be aussie
[12:54] {strider} was it signed _notLes?
[12:54] {Threei} f**k... can people really be THIS stupid?

[12:56] {Threei} and turns out there is none
[12:56] {dino} ass for every chair
[12:56] {Threei} seriously, here is copy/paste:
[12:56] {Threei} To be more profissioned I suggest you change to a room with sound. (why not
[12:56] {Threei} Paltalk?)
[12:56] {Threei} Otherwise it is not possible to follow your trades live.
[12:56] {Threei} profissioned?
[12:57] {nemo} have a drink Vad
[12:57] {Threei} he suggestst, you see
[12:57] {Threei} lol... never mind me, I am having bad hair day
[12:57] {dino} must have saw your spelling, lol
[12:57] {Threei} lol
[12:57] {RonS} ...for me, i could not follow that format...too distracting...my 2 cents
[12:57] {Threei} my thought too Ron
[12:58] {Threei} at some point we looked into asll formats that became popular
[12:58] {Threei} paltalk, skype, something else
[12:58] {Threei} mess
[12:59] {Les} nice call on TM
[12:59] {RonS} mags does gs have gas in the tank...new hod...
[12:59] {strider} missed it.......I can't use NASDAQ. Will not pass through orders for me.
[12:59] {Threei} hmm? why strider?
[12:59] {Threei} what does it report?
[12:59] {strider} I have no idea.
[12:59] {strider} Just doesn't fill.
[13:00] {Threei} but does your order go through at all?
[13:00] {strider} if no nas on BO , it won't pass through to other ECN.
[13:00] {Threei} so you have to cancel it later?
[13:00] {strider} Yes, shows up as pending order.
[13:00] {strider} Yes. have to cancel.
[13:00] {Threei} ok, then check this please:
[13:00] {Threei} right click on Level 2,
[13:00] {strider} k
[13:01] {strider} k
[13:01] {Threei} in the pop up woindow
[13:01] {strider} k
[13:01] {Threei} look at the right column
[13:01] {strider} y
[13:01] {Threei} titled:
[13:01] {Threei} Route Out
[13:01] {strider} y
[13:01] {strider} everything is checked.
[13:01] {Threei} and make sure all bioxes are checked
[13:01] {Threei} then your routing is configured correctly,
[13:02] {Threei} and if you see someone at the offer
[13:02] {Threei} but your order doesn't hit them
[13:02] {Threei} your quotes are delayed
[13:02] {Threei} you see a phantom,
[13:02] {strider} It never happens with ARCA
[13:02] {Threei} he is no longer there
[13:02] {Threei} that's truly weird then
[13:03] {Threei} they both swipe everything in sight
[13:03] {Threei} no difference in mechanics
[13:03] {strider} has always been the case. If NAS isn't at offer, it won't execute.
[13:03] {Threei} nothing like that here
[13:03] {Threei} asked trev to investigate?
[13:03] {strider} I know. It's just me.
[13:03] {strider} :(
[13:04] {strider} I ususally just use ARCA.
[13:04] {Threei} well, just use ARCA, what the difference
[13:04] {Threei} right
[13:04] {strider} Are fees the same?
[13:04] {Threei} but really... why would NASDAQ hate you specifically
[13:04] {strider} I think I dated his wife once.
[13:04] {Threei} ah
[13:05] {strider} or twice.
[13:05] {strider} OK...it was a year and a half.

[13:11] {Threei} and some days it rainst of course

[13:11] {Threei} it's not realistic to trade at high level every day (unless you are GS of course),
[13:12] {Threei} but it's realistic to spot not your day early
[13:12] {Threei} and stay humble
[13:12] {Threei} do no harm
[13:12] {Threei} stop a problem while it's small
[13:13] {Threei} Deal with the difficult while yet it is easy;

[13:20] {Threei} about that GS bragging, Ron
[13:20] {Threei} I honestly think they are so deep in coroporate/finance thinking,
[13:20] {Threei} they don't rwealize how it looks
[13:20] {Threei} to them it's a pure "look how good we are"
[13:21] {Threei} I had my share of close conversations with some of high finance executives
[13:21] {Threei} trust me their way of thinking is very different from average folk
[13:21] {Threei} and there is nothing sinister to it
[13:21] {Threei} it's simply different angle
[13:22] {Les} yeh Jesse has written of encounter with trading friend. wait I'll find it
[13:22] {Threei} when civil engineer looks at the city, he sees roads,intersections, traffic lights, bridges, tunnels
[13:22] {Les} http://jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com/2010/05/goldman-sachs-overreach-hubris-and.html
[13:22] {Threei} policeman sees crowd control, spots of drug trade etc
[13:23] {Threei} financial guy sees money flows
[13:23] {Les} we are traders with a conscious. Some like above don't care about anything else...
[13:23] {Threei} I saw that article Les
[13:23] {Threei} nothing of a kind in case of people I conversed with
[13:23] {Threei} no such callousness
[13:24] {Threei} they are normal people, with normal consciousness
[13:24] {Threei} they simply see the other side of financial realities
[13:24] {Threei} when it comes to their companies
[13:24] {Threei} one thing matyters:
[13:24] {Threei} performance
[13:24] {Threei} period
[13:25] {Threei} they may be ruthless or gentle, nothing will matter if they don't perform
[13:25] {Threei} no one will bring money under management because they are good people
[13:25] {Threei} money will come if they can perform
[13:26] {Threei} Now, try to envision this mindset
[13:26] {Les} clf 58 b/d?
[13:26] {Threei} see how this "we had 11 losing days in a year" looks digferent from that stadpoijt?
[13:27] {Les} big bids on CLF around 58
[13:27] {Threei} CLF is very volatile
[13:27] {Threei} smallshares if you go for it
[13:27] {Threei} stop above .15 or .20
[13:27] {nemo} congestion and then support down around .78 not much for Risk/Reward
[13:27] {Les} nah 200ma just under 58. will watch for further b/d
[13:30] {Les} damn wanting DNDN breakdown but .30 b/o was superb
[13:30] {RonS} "No reason to get excited", the thief he kindly spoke. "There are many here among us who feel life is but a joke. But you and I we've been through that, and this is not our fate. So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."
