Reversal setups, including this one, are described in great details in our 111 Trades Online Course at http://www.realitytrader.com/111trades.html
Very strong day overall - I'd call it "can do rarely wrong" as there were some stops, but profitable trades were many and juicy.

[14:20] {Les} the anchor icon on your L2 screen fish
[14:21] {Les} drag it over whatever chart you need to link it
[14:21] {nemo} no, I don't think that will work
[14:21] {nemo} it would be in the config window, but I don't see that ability there
[14:22] {nemo} I don't think you can Joe
[14:22] {fish_49} honestly don't let it distract what I have is a positions window open and I just want to be able to click on any position in that window and the montage should populate that ticker right?
[14:22] {Les} aah ok
[14:22] {Les} hmmm never tried it
[14:23] {fish_49} so you actually type in the symbol every time?
[14:23] {Les} Have two trading windows
[14:23] {Les} and I don't exceed that number of setups
[14:23] {Les} not with my BP anyway
[14:23] {fish_49} ok I see a work around
01[14:24] {&Threei} if you had some symbol on level 2 today, just click the arrow next to the symbol window, it will be in the list
[14:24] {dino} click in montage should transport it everywhere
[14:24] {fish_49} yea or I found a way right click the symbol in the positions list and it will populate in the montage
[14:24] {dino} i only manually enter a symbol in montage
[14:25] {fish_49} next time u have a position in positions window right click the symbol and slect montage it will populate

[14:34] {fish_49} I was not looking at it on a chart Les just playing the video game to learn this platform
[14:35] {fish_49} I watched the L2 and was up $100 but by the time I was able to figure out how to get out I ended up +01
01[14:37] {&Threei} do it in demo mode until you get it down colkd
[14:38] {fish_49} yep
01[14:38] {&Threei} must be absolutely automatic
[14:38] {fish_49} after I get into the position can I place the stop and the target also?
[14:38] {nemo} yeah sell stop and buy stop
[14:39] {fish_49} so Im in the position then now I want to key in my stop and my target and just wait for them to be hit
[14:39] {fish_49} I don't want to do the hover thing

01[15:03] {&Threei} about 3/4 of Canada jumps up and down, for the first time happy to see his name in the news
[15:04] {Les} thought my scanner had bugged my pc. setting up new scanner for negatives takes significant resources...
01[15:04] {&Threei} hmm?
[15:05] {dino} huh?
01[15:05] {&Threei} wait, what scanner?
[15:05] {Les} putting first negative ever under my Canon scanner for digitalisation
01[15:05] {&Threei} rofl
[15:05] {Les} ?
01[15:05] {&Threei} I thought you meant IntelliScan
[15:06] {Les} hehehe
[15:06] {dino} lol, i thought you were talking about stock scanner for drops
01[15:06] {&Threei} so did I
[15:06] {nemo} Intelliscan and Les are an oxymoron
[15:06] {Les} LOL
[15:06] {Les} ah piss off bunny boy this is funny
01[15:06] {&Threei} reread your line from that point of view Les
01[15:06] {&Threei} you will laugh as I did
[15:06] {fish_49} negatives as in film?
[15:06] {Les} yeh I can see the traders mindset
[15:07] {Les} yeh. thought it had locked up my pc. just takes a long time
01[15:07] {&Threei} my first thought was, jeez, decade of IntelliScan use, never heard of any bugs in it
[15:07] {nemo} if we get to 184.20ish we'll completely recover yesterday's hiccup
[15:07] {fish_49} sometimes the Chinese stink bugs get in there Vad
01[15:07] {&Threei} and even if something is wrong with it, how come it manifests itself only on dropping stocks?
[15:08] {fish_49} well thos Chinese stink bugs in the scanner can cause all kinds of damage. Cups no longer have handles and head and sholders can be missing sholders sometimes
01[15:08] {&Threei} and btw... anyone ever tried this tropical thing called bitter melon?
06[15:08] * Les slaps fish_49 around a bit with a large trout
01[15:08] {&Threei} or bitter gourd
01[15:08] {&Threei} lol fish
01[15:09] {&Threei} man, when they call it "bitter" they are not kidding...
[15:09] {fish_49} ok so where can I review closed trades for price filled
[15:09] {fish_49} I have heard of it but don't think I have tried it Vad.
01[15:10] {&Threei} unless you like bitter multiplied by bitter and by factor 10x, don't...
[15:11] {dino} click trades on tool bar, then trades again
[15:12] {fish_49} got it thanks Dino
[15:12] {dino} np
[15:12] {dino} xon another spike
[15:13] {dino} aol too
[15:23] {Les} would like to say DIA DT but that's been enough top calling for one day...
01[15:24] {&Threei} it looks to me like another breakout
[15:24] {Les} let it alone then
[15:25] {nemo} 183.78 yesterday's pivot 184.24ish is yesterday's high, iwm .06 from yesterday's high

[15:33] {dino} teva spike
[15:45] {fish_49} ok I learned how to place a stop market order with this platform But once it's filled I need to remember to cancel my profit target orders
[15:45] {fish_49} just learning the platform Im up 68 bucks I feel good
01[15:46] {&Threei} there is OCA orders I think
01[15:46] {&Threei} One cancels another
[15:46] {fish_49} yea I will learn that tomorrow if CC7 is here he indicated he would be in the room tomorrow
01[15:46] {&Threei} so you can place both target and stop, and when one is filled, other is automatically cancled
[15:46] {Les} IWM short works
[15:47] {Les} come on FB
[15:47] {fish_49} yea I use them on my existing platform
[15:47] {fish_49} when I place an order to get in a position the stop and the profit orders go in at the same time just in case electricity goes out
[15:47] {nemo} that only works if the order is out on the server
[15:48] {nemo} you better ask that question tomorrow
[15:48] {fish_49} yes of course OSO and OCO should be out on the server if not it would be useless
01[15:49] {&Threei} OK, done for the day
01[15:49] {&Threei} good one, too
01[15:49] {&Threei} thank you all, have a great evening, see you tomorrow
