Sep 13 2011


Somewhat hectic and nervous day where almost no trade was of my favorite kind - low risk, clear smooth sailing to the target. Unlike yesterday, coming out positive was labored and left us feeling not entirely satisfied with how we handled the day. Let's see if we can do it smoother tomorrow.

Session Time: Tue Sep 13 00:00:00 2011

[10:44] {Threei}  1:1

[10:51] {nemo} crazy stuff today
[10:51] {Threei}  absolutely
[10:52] {Threei}  what the deuce
[10:53] {Threei}  no news for this dump
[10:53] {Threei}  yet
[10:53] {nemo} normal pullback for the daily ranges we've been having
[10:54] {Threei}  well, a bit too sharp and sudden for a purely technical move
[10:54] {nemo} rise of the machines
[10:54] {Threei}  oh boy
[10:54] {Threei}  no this HFT stuff please
[10:54] {nemo} dropped right into the weekly pivot
[11:02] {Threei} Long Setup:  TZA  .20 brewak
[11:03] {Threei}  if stays above 46
[11:03] {dino} cvi sm l .10
[11:03] {Threei}  target 46.80
[11:04] {Threei}  this one is intended to be a day-fixing trade

[11:04] {Threei}  1:2
[11:04] {Threei}  stop b/e for the last part
[11:05] {Threei}  direct hit
[11:05] {Threei}  out in full
[11:05] {Threei}  went into positive for the day
[11:05] {Threei}  whew
[11:06] {dino} cvi stop -.10
[11:06] {nemo} didn't catch it, would have made me positive
[11:06] {Threei}  it gave time...
[11:06] {Threei}  pulled back after initial break
[11:07] {nemo} was .28 when I looked, so thought it was off to the races
[11:12] {dino} cvi sm l .90
[11:17] {ese} am outta here.....have a great day
[11:17] {Threei}  take care ese
[11:19] {dino} cya
[11:19] {Threei}  lol
[11:19] {_roger99} tna
[11:19] {Threei}  just thought of 46.50 being another long trigger for TZA
[11:19] {dino} cvi stopped -.15
[11:19] {nemo} yeah bull flag
[11:19] {Threei}  apparently 3 seconds-long thinking is too long today
[11:20] {Threei}  yes
[11:20] {nemo} yeah, everything is on a hair trigger by the time it reveals itself
[11:20] {Threei}  that's why I prefer panicky market to an uncertain market
[11:21] {Threei}  when market is as hesitant and scared as now, it jumps either way on little or no notice
[11:27] {_roger99} tna  ?
[11:27] {nemo} not yet imo
[11:28] {nemo} close though
[11:29] {Threei}  if pulls back here under .70 will be inetersted in double bottom
[11:29] {nemo} yeah, in this chop would like to see something more confirming
[11:30] {nemo} so that means we won't get it
[11:31] {Threei}  in this chop, I am fine with missing something, rather than jumping onto something I shouldn't
[11:31] {dino} cvi rinsed
[11:31] {RonS} took cvi l .58  out 1/2 .78...letting rest run w/ stop b/e
[11:31] {dino} you dog
[11:32] {RonS} woof
[11:32] {dino} mind sm l .40 thin
[11:33] {dino} kss sm l .75
[11:40] {Threei}  TNA was a good idea roger... just invcredibly hard to find exact entry in this chopfest
[11:40] {_roger99} i see
[11:41] {_roger99} it had a large volume at the bottom
[11:42] {nemo} thing is it's a derivative of IWM
[11:42] {Threei}  true, but you still need a clearn entry signal
[11:42] {Threei}  this kind of drops can continue
[11:42] {Threei}  and ashow another sharpo leg down with even more volume
[11:43] {nemo} here's the funny part, the entry was keyed off of spy when SPY touched a retracement level, both bounced when spy hit that level
[11:43] {Threei}  arbitrary bottom fishing, aka knife-catching..
[11:43] {Threei}  this kind of things is usually obvious only in retrospect nemo... :)
[11:44] {Threei}  I mean, you can see them in advance,
[11:44] {Threei}  but actual trading on them is, well...
[11:45] {dino} difficult?
[11:46] {Threei}  thanks... I was looking for politically correct term for nearly-&*%#@(-impossible
[11:48] {dino} ;)
[11:54] {dino} mhk sm l .75
[12:00] {Threei}  Judge in Pennsylvania has ruled against healthcare reform
[12:01] {Threei}  oh boy
[12:01] {Threei}  look at this
[12:01] {Threei}  (GE) Treasury Sec Geither at EMU meeting said to be planning to propose Germany lessen its opposition to increasing the size of the EFSF fund - financial press
[12:01] {Threei}  - Geither also may request Finland Netherlands and Slovakia lessen their resistance to dealing with the crisis
[12:01] {Threei}  I can't believe it
[12:02] {Threei}  this bonehead seriously thinks he can tell them how to fight their crisis?
[12:02] {Threei}  and propse Germany dig itself even deeper in the hole?
[12:03] {Threei}  OK... my feel is, downward time from this point on
[12:03] {Threei}  looking for TXA pullback for entry
[12:03] {Threei}  TZA
[12:04] {Threei}  now that pervious trade on it took day into green, want to make it seriously positive
[12:08] {Threei}  OK
[12:08] {Threei}  .50 break TZA
[12:09] {Threei}  stop under .30
[12:10] {Threei}  no go
[12:10] {Threei}  may take a few tries
[12:11] {Threei}  keep it to half lot
[12:15] {dino} random dance market
[12:16] {nemo} it double bottomed, now if it breaks .30 or so likely to test highs
[12:19] {larisa} kind of schisophrenic, vad says down, nemo says up and dino says random :)
[12:20] {dino} :D
[12:20] {Threei}  this is called freedom of speech...
[12:20] {Threei}  and pluralism
[12:20] {nemo} just looking at chart
[12:20] {larisa} no, it is called what I called it :)
[12:20] {nemo} choppy action
[12:21] {Threei}  schisophrenic pluralism?
[12:21] {larisa} yes, without "pluralism" :)
[12:22] {Threei}  lol
[12:23] {dino} how about just schiso
[12:23] {nemo} how about schizo
[12:24] {Threei}  {larisa} yes, with "phrenic"
[12:24] {larisa} lol
[12:24] {Threei}  see, I got it :)
[12:24] {Threei}  this SPY pullback,
[12:24] {Threei}  really having hard time telling it's merely a pullback or beginning of downward move
[12:25] {Threei}  it's very murky today
[12:27] {dino} volume dropping off it seems
[12:29] {Threei}  I have this feeling something interesting to come yet today
[12:29] {nemo} slw
[12:31] {dino} something wicked this way comes
[12:31] {nemo} Thank you Mr. Pryce

[12:34] {dino} and the tangents begin, lol
[12:35] {Threei} Long Setup:  TZA  .20 break
[12:36] {nemo} too funny, spy walking straight down the weekly pivot
[12:37] {Threei}  SPY loss of 117 is needed to make this trade
[12:37] {nemo} you see the pennant
[12:37] {nemo} ?
[12:37] {nemo} same on iwm
[12:37] {Threei}  yes

[12:38] {dino} we're going up first
[12:38] {nemo} must be schizophrenia
[12:38] {nemo} yeah, I think up also

Sep 12 2011

Nice day with just one small stop and a lot of cool wins. Catch of the Day is this textbook SLW short, chart is pretty much self-explanatory

[09:26] {larisa} vad, ese :)
[09:28] {Threei}  so far I am inclined to start with shorting bounces
[09:28] {Threei}  then we will see what shapes up
[09:29] {Threei}  FCX, possible setup is little range betwen 41 and 41.15, then short of 41 break
[09:30] {Threei}  let this hypervolstility exhaust itself
[09:31] {Threei} Short Setup: FCX  41 break
[09:31] {Threei}  stop above .15
[09:31] {Threei}  1:1
[09:31] {Threei}  like clockwork
[09:31] {dino} gaps 10716, 2044, 1120
[09:32] {Threei}  again, same setup
[09:33] {Threei}  actually, if stays under .10 this time
[09:33] {Threei}  invalidated
[09:34] {Threei}  SLW's turn
[09:34] {Threei} Short Setup: SLW  .35 break
[09:34] {Threei}  if stays under .45

[09:43] {Threei}  watching FCX for double top, if it goes above .40
[09:43] {Threei}  and SLW above .50
[09:43] {Threei} Short Setup: FCX  .40 break
[09:44] {Threei}  1:1
[09:44] {Threei}  things happen fast
[09:44] {nemo} yeah, hard to catch
[09:44] {Threei}  yes, no chasing if missed
[09:46] {Threei}  SLW didn't let us in
[09:48] {nemo} fcx looks long
[09:48] {Threei}  .40 break?
[09:48] {nemo} if we get volume yeah, see it's forming that trend line
[09:49] {nemo} nope

[09:57] {nemo} ahhh, what is the stop .19?
[09:57] {Threei}  yeah, under .20
[09:57] {Threei}  lol
[09:57] {nemo} well, that was futile
[09:58] {Threei}  only if you manage to grab last shares at .30 which is highly questionable
[09:58] {Threei}  SPY green
[10:00] {nemo} expect spy to go to .42-60 area
[10:02] {Threei}  looking for TZA entry
[10:02] {Threei}  need pullback, desirably into .60 - .70 area
[10:05] {Threei}  hetting interested
[10:06] {Threei}  half lot long .50 break
[10:06] {Threei}  boy, the speed...
[10:07] {nemo} I think spy goes to that area before tza becomes viable
[10:07] {Threei}  SPY reaks
[10:08] {Threei}  breaks
[10:08] {Threei}  no TZA for now
[10:08] {_shaun70} I have to go chaps. Nice FCX trade - 1 from 1 :)

[12:04] {_roger99} Great Job today Three
[12:04] {_roger99} my first day
[12:04] {_roger99} is it always like that ?
[12:04] {Threei}  hmm
[12:04] {Threei}  well
[12:05] {nemo} no
[12:05] {Threei}  I wish I could say yes, but in the fact is, it's only about 4 days out of 5
[12:05] {_roger99} not bad
[12:05] {nemo} Very consistent over time, and he can have some ridiculously long winning runs
[12:05] {Threei}  and sometimes losing clusters
[12:05] {Threei}  but they are much shirter
[12:05] {nemo} longest I've observed is 3 days in a row
[12:06] {Threei}  really?
[12:06] {Threei}  never monitored that :)
[12:06] {nemo} Pretty much...you usually have one once a year sometimes twice
[12:06] {Threei}  sounds good, expecially considering that winning streaks arfe sometimes several weeks in a row
[12:06] {nemo} I'll never forget the Fall of 2008
[12:07] {Threei}  oh yes... that was a beauty
[12:07] {nemo} You whistled through the graveyard as the corpses piled up
[12:07] {Threei}  couple months of no single losing day
[12:07] {_roger99} did u make money Fall 2008  ?
[12:07] {nemo} Yeah, remember come in limit down one morning, wow
[12:07] {nemo} yeah, for 2 months straight not a single losing day
[12:07] {_roger99} wow
[12:07] {Threei}  every day of all that debacle woger
[12:07] {Threei}  we normally do very well on red days
[12:08] {_roger99} i c
[12:08] {Threei}  on green days, we do well if it's back and forth day, with normal volatility
[12:08] {_shaun70} Hello everyone.  Am back.  Have I missed a good morning session?
[12:08] {Threei}  slow gradual climb days are usually ones where we just don't find our plays
[12:09] {Threei}  pretty much shaun... one stop
[12:09] {Threei}  on half lot
[12:09] {Threei}  the rest worked like charm
[12:09] {_shaun70} Awesome!
[12:09] {Threei}  and dino beat the market over the head with a club
[12:09] {_shaun70} Dino-soar :)
[12:10] {Threei}  he does get T-rexy sometimes
[12:10] {Threei}  watching SLW
[12:10] {Threei}  interested in possible breakdown
[12:11] {Threei}  .70 would be a short trigger
[12:11] {Threei}  trying to find a range for stop/invalidation placement
[12:12] {Threei}  so far it's .85
[12:12] {Threei}  but I would be happier with .80
[12:12] {dino} :D
[12:13] {Threei}  let's do it this way
[12:13] {Threei} Short Setup: SLW  .70, if stays under .80 for scalpers, .85 for day traders

[14:08] {Threei}  good point
[14:08] {Threei}  I guess they opposed different proposals

[14:48] {RonS} this was it i guess...ITALY IN TALKS WITH CHINA INVESTMENT TO BUY BONDS:, ASSETS: FT
[14:49] {dino} you mean china to buy italy, lol
[14:50] {RonS} ...sending marco polo to broker the deal...
[14:50] {dino} check this out, 1st time s/p crossed 1200 was in 1998, we have been in this range for 13 years
[14:56] {Threei}  Chnia President Hu reiterated that China is confident in the euro and will continue to invest in Europe. Note that on July 18th, Italy's Foreign Minister said that he was speaking with China on raising investment in Italy
[14:57] {Threei}  just talks
[14:57] {Threei}  unless China is nowhere as smart as they say it is
[14:57] {RonS} sheesh, so the ft re-circulates a story from july and we get this pop?
[14:58] {Threei}  because the only thing to be confident about Europ is that it's done
[14:58] {Threei}  like a roast after 4 hours in oven
[15:00] {RonS} heard that greece will not replace the euro w/ the drachma, but instead the ouzo...because the only thing left to do will be to drink...
[15:00] {Threei}  makes sense to me
[15:03] {Threei}   guess this headline sent market down:
[15:03] {Threei}  (EU) US Treasury Sec Geithner plans to visit Poliday for a round of Eurogroup meetings on Friday
[15:03] {Threei}  thought of Timmy coming to help Europe killed last hope
[15:09] {dino} i think timmy is going to push them to open up the euro printing presses
[15:12] {Threei}  I doubt they will
[15:12] {Threei}  not because they don't want to, they do
[15:13] {Threei}  but there is no politival appetite for it among the masses, and political cohesiveness in Europe is nowhere near one in US
[15:13] {Threei}  they just won't be able to convince their respective taxpayers to go for it
[15:14] {dino} they don't need the taxpayers, just the politicians
[15:15] {dino} but again, either print or default
[15:15] {Threei}  not Europian situation
[15:15] {Threei}  politicians will be thrown out if try that
[15:16] {Threei}  a lot of opposition parties get huge mileage now by voicing disagreement with printing and bailing out
[15:16] {dino} i understand, but only two ways out imo
[15:17] {Threei}  my strong suspicion is, default it is
[15:17] {Threei}  continuous bailing out and printing requires political unity
[15:18] {Threei}  Europe has not enough of that
[15:18] {Threei}  one of the headlines overnight was:
[15:19] {Threei}  Merkel asked citizens to be patient with Greece
[15:19] {Threei}  think they will? :)
[15:19] {Threei}  or if they agree to be more ptient and require collateral etcm will Greece accept that?
[15:20] {Threei}  they are headed for series of conflicts, and it's not going to be pretty
[15:20] {dino} its an either / or. most likely greece defaults, imo markets have just about priced this in
[15:23] {nemo} no bad news tonight, think tomorrow up day
[15:23] {Threei}  well, this I've no idea how to calculate :)
[15:23] {Threei}  I mean the "market priced it in" part
[15:23] {nemo} call Magoo, he'll know how to do it
[15:24] {dino} coin toss nemo
[15:24] {nemo} what, on Magoo?
[15:24] {Threei}  magoo, maybe... he calculated once how to divide a bottle of vodka by three drinkers without measurement
[15:24] {dino} no, thats how he'd do it, a ceasars casino coin
[15:25] {nemo} dcc dino
[15:25] {Threei}  know the sound liquid makes if you turn the full bottle upside down?
[15:25] {nemo} yeah, none if it's really full
[15:25] {Threei}  well, slight incline
[15:25] {Threei}  to let the air out
[15:25] {nemo} o.k.
[15:26] {Threei}  bottle of vodka makes 21 of such sounds till empty... 7 in each glass, and you get perfetc division {G}
[15:26] {dino} lol
[15:26] {nemo} dcc again, dino, sorry
[15:28] {nemo} So. Larisa, close in the green?
[15:29] {larisa} do not care today :)
[15:29] {nemo} valium?
[15:30] {larisa} a lot
[15:30] {nemo} whites, yellows, blues, or reds?
[15:31] {dino} oh, btw. j e t s. sneaked out a victory last night
[15:31] {nemo} yeah, we talked about Romo last week, but....Burress is going to be a matchup nightmare
[15:32] {dino} looked good last night, guy is huge 6'7" i think
[15:32] {nemo} 6' 5"
[15:32] {nemo} you see him level that defensive back...ow
[15:33] {dino} yeah, some (as mr t would say) pain
[15:33] {nemo} revamped Pat's D tonight
[15:34] {dino} you should blow miami away
[15:34] {nemo} one would think, but the offensive line is iffy
[15:34] {dino} back in 15, bus stop calls
[15:34] {Threei}  so, valium explains why larisa let me get away with "panic and crash" comments today?
[15:34] {RonS} the pats better run it, elvis & austin are gonna pancake brady
[15:36] {nemo} probably running and screens early
[15:36] {nemo} get them to back off
[15:37] {nemo} Right tackle will be the rookie tonight and the right guard is great but new
[15:38] {RonS} austin is a rookie but he really already knows how to get to the qb
[15:39] {Threei}  Euro vs US Dollar Extending gains above $1.36 following financial press report of Italy-China talks on Italian govt bonds
[15:39] {Threei}  yeah, that's what theya ttribute the bounce to
[15:43] {RonS} idiot here nemo, was talkin broncos...had no idea there are two games tonight
[15:43] {RonS} ugh, raiders...
[15:44] {nemo} yeah, I was wondering
[15:51] {Threei}  hope springs eternal, eh?
[15:52] {Threei}  going green on hopes China rescues EU?
[15:52] {Threei}  lol
[15:53] {nemo} no, this is technical run to the pivot points
[15:59] {Threei}  thank you all
[16:00] {Threei}  have a good evening
[16:00] {Threei}  see you tomorrow
[16:00] {larisa} bye :)

Sep 09 2011

As a continuation of the SPY series, let me post a screenshot instead. If you watched those videos you'll see clearly all the elements we discussed earlier: ascending channel of bear flag, hypothetical Head and Shoulders (very ugly), volume increasing on red days, and ~110, which if broken - oy.

[13:45] {nemo} breakout area from yesterday too
[13:46] {Threei}  SPY should get a bounce now and then proceed to make new lows
[13:48] {Threei}  let's scale in TZA
[13:48] {Threei}  very hard to nail exact reversal
[13:48] {Threei}  1/4 here
[13:48] {Threei}  near 44
[13:48] {Threei}  with adding 1/4 near .80 - .85
[13:49] {Threei}  or on .20 break
[13:50] {Threei}  half lot
[13:50] {Threei}  with .10 average
[13:50] {Threei}  .12
[13:50] {Threei}  target closer to 45
[13:51] {Threei}  with possible adding if goes under 44
[13:51] {nemo} better cover

[14:23] {nemo} the good news is...
[14:23] {nemo} IWM rose to the weekly pivot, and spy rose to the daily and dropped
[14:24] {nemo} bad news...you probably didn't have those pivot levels
[14:24] {Threei}  market smells like panic
[14:24] {nemo} tomorrow I would think
[14:25] {dino} after the great obaminations' speech
[14:26] {Threei}  it's developing
[14:26] {Threei}  look at TZA doing exactly what I tried to play

[14:39] {Threei}  .50 break?
[14:39] {nemo} she won't talk to me until I give her tortilla chips (bunny crack)
[14:40] {nemo} bitch woke me up last night because she wanted some....it's terrifying waking up to a bunny sitting on your chest staring you in the face
[14:40] {Z} sheesh
[14:41] {Z} yea i'd trip out on something like that
[14:41] {Threei}  and we are not talking about playboy bunny here I assume
[14:41] {Z} ok hold on now...
[14:41] {nemo} she's a descendent of the Monty Python bunny
[14:41] {Z} the latter i could deal with...
