[10:52] {nemo} is it lunchtime
[10:53] {ese} lol
[10:54] {nemo} rig testing support
[10:57] {jfjf64} pull bk lvs
[11:00] {jfjf64} ya see trigger 3i
[11:00] {jfjf64} on bounce
[11:00] {Threei} yes but the problem is:
[11:00] {Threei} I am not sure we need to look for bounce
[11:01] {Threei} consolidation and breakdown is just as likely
[11:01] {jfjf64} yes
[11:01] {nemo} pessimist
[11:01] {jfjf64} long way to fall
[11:01] {Threei} very
[11:02] {shorty} gm
[11:02] {Threei} shorty :)
[11:03] {Threei} let's see:
[11:03] {Threei} long trigger, should we want one, would have been .10
[11:04] {Threei} upon breaking it LVS went up whole 4 cents
[11:04] {nemo} rimm
[11:05] {Threei} if you really really want to ttrade it, my suffestion would trather be short it,
[11:05] {Threei} rigfht around here
[11:05] {nemo} yes
[11:05] {Threei} with stop .15
[11:05] {nemo} oh, sorry
[11:05] {Threei} .05 break was actually the best trigger
[11:05] {Threei} but it's gone while I was typing
[11:06] {Threei} and yes, I typed "truffer" instead of trigger
[11:06] {nemo} trouffle
[11:06] {Threei} even short at .02 is already reached 1:1
[11:06] {Threei} is = has
[11:06] {jfjf64} i shorted .03
[11:07] {jfjf64} got out .95
[11:07] {nemo} was thinking rimm short at .70 guess stp wold have been .85
[11:07] {Threei} well, on RIMM my regret goes further: I was thinking short at 53.10...
[11:07] {larisa} exactly :)
[11:07] {nemo} If I'd been looking at it, I would have concurred
[11:08] {nemo} why didn't you say something Lari?
[11:09] {larisa} then i would need tot alk nonstopI
[11:09] {Threei} uh oh
[11:09] {Threei} I knew it was contagious...
[11:10] {larisa} lol
[11:10] {nemo} what? Rimm short .10 stop .25...that woulda' been it
[11:11] {Threei} let's see if we can get second entry LVS short
[11:11] {Threei} .10 break, consolidation, staying under .20, then rtecross is idea scenario
[11:11] {Threei} ideal
[11:12] {Threei} .05 break if stays under .10 is anopther one, but more chance of shakeout
[11:14] {nemo} IH&S on spy
[11:14] {Threei} nah
[11:14] {Threei} too small to be realiable
[11:14] {Threei} 15 min for such complex formation... I wouldn't rely on it
[11:17] {gregns} what is minimum time of a consolidation do you look for in LVS ?
[11:18] {Threei} a few min would be enough
[11:18] {gregns} thks
[11:18] {Threei} I just don't want a situation where stock breaks barrier,
[11:18] {Threei} and immediately dioves back
[11:18] {Threei} it's more of accidental move than any indication
[11:18] {Threei} as new support hasn't established itself
[11:19] {Threei} so its immediate break has little significance
[11:19] {Threei} What I want to see is:
[11:19] {Threei} break over .10,
[11:19] {Threei} soending a few min over it but most impostanlt,:
[11:19] {Threei} testing it couple times and bouncing of off it
[11:19] {magoo} which stock?
[11:20] {Threei} so it become tested and prven support.
[11:20] {Threei} Then break of it serves as a shock for longs
[11:20] {Threei} so they dump their positions
[11:20] {Threei} fueling our short
[11:20] {Threei} LVS mags
[11:20] {gregns} i see more now
[11:20] {Threei} but doesn't shaoe up so far
[11:21] {Threei} it's not very complex matters, just think of them in terms of traders' psychology
[11:21] {Threei} about what happens when syupport or resistance levels get broken
[11:22] {Threei} let's cite a primer?
[11:22] {Threei} stock tests resistance at 20
[11:22] {Threei} once, twice, th'rice
[11:22] {Threei} resistance holds
[11:22] {Threei} what groups of traders shape up and how they think?
[11:23] {Threei} 1. there are established longs that took position earlier
[11:23] {Threei} 2. there are longs-in-waiting that want to see resistance broken to enter
[11:24] {Threei} 3. there are established shorts that took position at 20, 19.99 or so
[11:24] {Threei} 4. there are shorts-in-waiting that see ersistance being established and wait for each return to it to enter thweir short
[11:24] {Threei} Now, on another approach to it stock breaks it
[11:25] {Threei} what do all this groups feel and do?
[11:25] {Threei} 1 froup celebrates,
[11:25] {Threei} partials out maybe
[11:25] {Threei} they wil create some resistance as stock advances and they take profits,
[11:25] {Threei} but probably not too much of it
[11:26] {Threei} 2 group hits buy buttons
[11:26] {Threei} 3 group is getting out in panic
[11:26] {Threei} hitting market buy buttons
[11:26] {Threei} it's these 2 and 3 that create max buying pressure,
[11:26] {Threei} it's thanks to them breakouts work
[11:27] {Threei} 4th group retreats back to the cave, ewaiting for another chance
[11:27] {Threei} Break them down like this, and setup structure becomes clear to you;
[11:28] {Threei} why do I want to see support or resistance tested before becoming a trigger?
[11:28] {Threei} because that's what makes them support ot resistance in etes of traders
[11:28] {Threei} forming all these groups
[11:28] {Threei} and shaping up their future reactions
[11:28] {Threei} {--- done blabbing
[11:29] {nemo} now you're lying
[11:29] {Threei} nah...
[11:29] {nemo} you'll blab again
[11:29] {Threei} next time I speak will be in a week and half
[11:29] {Threei} have a look at LVS
[11:29] {Threei} tested .10,
[11:29] {Threei} bounced
[11:30] {Threei} testing .20 now
[11:30] {Threei} if stays under it,'
[11:30] {nemo} ep
[11:30] {Threei} tests .10 again,
[11:30] {Threei} bounces
[11:30] {nemo} yep
[11:30] {Threei} forms lower high, not even reaching .20
[11:30] {Threei} can you say breakdown formation is being shaped up?
[11:31] {magoo} bouncre AONE?
[11:32] {Threei} not sure
[11:32] {gregns} thanks for blabbing! it is helpful to hear it again and again and again
[11:33] {Threei} I already sppoke about it??
[11:33] {Threei} lord, my memory fades... ow I am sure I will shut up for a while {G}
[11:34] {nemo} volume spike tnao
[11:34] {nemo} could be short setup
[11:34] {nemo} oh yeah
[11:58] {Threei} Short Setup: LVS .10 break
[11:59] {Threei} if stays under .15 for scalpers, .20 for day traders
[11:59] {nemo} in
[12:05] {Threei} Verizon Communications Denies New York Times story on deal for with Google tiered delivery of web content
[12:05] {Threei} - Note that there have also been unconfirmed reports that Google has also denied the New York Times story.
[12:05] {Threei} ***Note that yesterday the NYT reported that Google and Verizon are close to a deal on establishing tiered delivery of web content.
[12:05] {Threei} US) FCC's Genachowski: Any business arrangement that prevents a "free and open" internet is unacceptable
[12:05] {Threei} - Declines to comment on reports on Google/Verizon deal.
[12:05] {Threei} ***Note that yesterday the NYT reported that Google and Verizon are close to a deal on establishing tiered delivery of web content.
[12:06] {Threei} something I missed completely
[12:06] {Threei} background story:
[12:06] {Threei} an agreement that could allow Verizon to speed some online content to Internet users more quickly if the contents creators are willing to pay for the privilege.
[12:06] {Threei} - The charges could be paid by companies, like YouTube, owned by Google, for example, to Verizon, one of the nations leading Internet service providers, to ensure that its content received priority as it made its way to consumers. The agreement could eventually lead to higher charges for Internet users.
[12:06] {Threei} - Such an agreement could overthrow the tenet of net neutrality, in which no form of content is favored over another. In its place, consumers could soon see a new, tiered system, which, like cable television, imposes higher costs for premium levels of service.
[12:06] {Threei} - Any agreement between Verizon and Google could also upend the efforts of the Federal Communications Commission to assert its authority over broadband service, which was severely restricted by a federal appeals court decision in April.
[12:07] {nemo} oy vay out
[12:07] {Threei} hmm?
[12:07] {Threei} wre you in for a scalp?

[12:07] {nemo} missed it

[12:08] {Threei} since 1:1 was hit
[12:08] {nemo} yep shoulda'
[12:08] {Threei} there is a reason why standard procedure is established
[12:08] {Threei} it has inner logic'
[12:08] {nemo} rimm
