March 26 2014

Some days are smooth and easy - this one was not one of those. Jerky patternless morning brought a few stops which we had to rectify for the whole afternoon. We succeeded in covering large part of the losses but still ended negative. Oh well.

[15:14] {nemo} fish definitely partial when u can

[15:15] {fish_49} thanks I took .05 

[15:16] {nemo} IMO, your trade depended on the indexes going lower, which is less likely given the days action

[15:17] {fish_49} I think we go lower

[15:17] {nemo} thus "partial"

[15:18] {fish_49} I scalped it  made money

[15:18] {nemo} ok

01[15:31] {@Threei}  really?

01[15:31] {@Threei}  that's one way to deal with overspending...

[15:31] {fish_49} Business can close stores  Gov  can close Provinces?

01[15:31] {@Threei}  I suggest to try that with some of the states

01[15:32] {@Threei}  evacuate nemo and eliminate Massachusets

[15:32] {fish_49} what state would take him?

01[15:32] {@Threei}  who knows what they mean when they say eliminate, fish

01[15:32] {@Threei}  might involve thick layer of concrete

[15:33] {fish_49} in Italy I'm sure it involves burying in Concrete

01[15:33] {@Threei}  that would have a been shovel-ready project

[14:24] {nemo} I didn't say "top"

[14:31] {nathan} hi everybody

[14:32] {nemo} Que tal?

[14:32] {nathan} improving your spanish?

[14:32] {nathan} muy bien y tu?

[14:33] {nemo} I have an Italian response

[14:33] {nemo} com si, com sa

[14:34] {nathan} good one

[14:34] {nemo} de nada

[14:35] {nathan} yw

[14:35] {nemo} funny, the verb to speak in Italian, is very similar to bailar

[14:36] {nathan} more or less

[14:36] {nemo} except bailar is to dance, yes?

[14:37] {nathan} right

[14:37] {nemo} so bailo Italiano is "I speak Italian"

[14:38] {nathan} i'd rather say " parlo italiano"

[14:44] {nathan} HCP to watch?

[14:45] {nemo} yeah, that actually might be sicilian dialect

[15:05] {nemo} we're probably gonna' be pretty neutral until earnings season picks up, unless serious news

[15:09] {nathan} well guys thanks for today

[15:09] {nathan} it's been a good day

01[15:09] {@Threei}  morning was good nathan

01[15:10] {@Threei}  then it became really boring

[15:10] {nathan} seems like the post-it saying i'm an asshole works

01[15:10] {@Threei}  hehe

[15:10] {nathan} :-)

01[15:10] {@Threei}  works every time

01[15:10] {@Threei}  tested asnd proven

[15:10] {dino} gj nathan

[15:10] {nathan} i took some trades from you others mines and...

[15:11] {nathan} positive day

01[15:11] {@Threei}  great to hear

[15:11] {nathan} not to recover yesterday disaster but it helps

[15:11] {dino} have to start somewhere

[15:11] {nathan} yep

01[15:12] {@Threei}  well

01[15:12] {@Threei}  about recoveries

[15:12] {dino} some suceed because they are destined to, but most succeed because they are determined to

01[15:12] {@Threei}  know which one is the best?

[15:12] {nathan} go ahead

01[15:12] {@Threei}  SLOW one

01[15:12] {@Threei}  here is why

01[15:13] {@Threei}  when you recover quickly, you get this subconscious impression that initial error that got you in troubles was not a big deal, and is easy to correct

01[15:13] {@Threei}  and you are likely to repeat it.

01[15:13] {@Threei}  But when it takes time and effort to recover,

01[15:13] {@Threei}  you realize how large hole you fug yourself inti by that error

[15:13] {nathan} is written with fire

01[15:13] {@Threei}  and value your effort to get out of it much higher

01[15:14] {@Threei}  and much less likely to repeat the error.

[15:14] {nathan} you're completely right

[15:14] {dino} and nathan, as churchill said, "when going through hell, keep going"

[15:15] {nathan} i still have so fresh the accounts i've drawn

[15:15] {nathan} i have to admit that it hurt more myheart than my pocket

[15:16] {nathan} so it's not a matter of money

[15:16] {nathan} it's more about changing myself

01[15:16] {@Threei}  usually it's not

01[15:16] {@Threei}  right

01[15:16] {@Threei}  your trading reflects who you are

01[15:16] {@Threei}  you want it to change, change who you are

01[15:17] {@Threei}  sounds like new age bullshit, but it's not

[15:17] {nathan} it's like making a new man

[15:17] {nathan} yep

[15:17] {nathan} 1:1 i NKE

[15:17] {nathan} lol

[15:18] {dino} gj

[15:18] {nathan} hope to see you tomorrow

[14:51] {nathan} you're right vad, but...

01[14:51] {Threei}  nathan... if I may chime in with suggestion...

01[14:52] {Threei}  I see this sometimes, in different variations:

[14:53] {nathan} yes pls go ahead

[14:53] {nemo} indexes look short here, but question is do they drop vwap

01[14:53] {Threei}  people join our room, and trade whatever they think is right, as if the very fact of being in the room should make them profitable

[14:53] {fish_49} Nemo cant read squat today?  and how is that different from any other day?  I bet Nemo Squats  to pee

[14:53] {nemo} oh fish

[14:53] {RonS} oof

[14:53] {nemo} I'm so fragile

01[14:53] {Threei}  it's not enough to be here, also got to trade with us

[14:53] {nemo} questioning my nemohood

[14:54] {fish_49} lol

[14:54] {RonS} lol...classic

[14:54] {fish_49} Love you brother

[14:54] {nemo} yeah, like Cain loved Abel

[14:54] {dino} haven't had a trade since 1:00ish, not seeing anything

[14:55] {nathan} yep but the fact is that today I made old mistakes i thought i they were overcome

01[14:55] {Threei}  if you don't feel that our trades are in tune with your vision, back off and paper trade them until you get comfortable with our read, your own read or some combination of both,

01[14:55] {Threei}  but take advantage of being here

[14:55] {nemo} may I interject...

[14:56] {nathan} thanks Vad

01[14:56] {Threei}  and on making olf mistakes, let's do this

01[14:56] {Threei}  any trade shough be based on a certain setup

01[14:56] {Threei}  not on your idea of where the market should go.

01[14:56] {Threei}  So, grab a Post-It,

01[14:56] {Threei}  write on it in big red letters:

01[14:57] {Threei}  "IS THERE SETUP FOR THIS TRADE???"

01[14:57] {Threei}  slap it on your monitor,

[14:57] {nathan} i'm doing it right now

01[14:57] {Threei}  and look at it every time before clicking that buy button

01[14:57] {Threei}  if not, slowly back off

[14:57] {nemo} and then ask yourself one more question..."Am I taking this call because it's a valid setup, or is an emotion driving me?"

[14:57] {dino} good advice. my rules are posted on the wall

01[14:58] {Threei}  and if this doesn't work, here is stronger version

01[14:58] {Threei}  take a summary of the month when you traded what you thought and not the setups,

01[14:58] {Threei}  write the total of your loss on another Post-Ot,

[14:58] {nathan} I got plenty examples of it

01[14:59] {Threei}  with comment: PRICE OF MY STUPIDITY: $XXX

01[14:59] {Threei}  and again, look at it every time

[14:59] {nemo} nathan...you can also just ask opinions here as a gauge

01[14:59] {Threei}  and ask yourself whether this trade is going to contribute to that stupidity fudn

01[14:59] {Threei}  it's rude, and it works

01[15:00] {Threei}  because it's brutrally honest

[15:00] {nemo} I was dcc'ing with Vad this morning:  [10:52] {nemo} shitty reads here for me

Market Week Wrap-up

TradeTheNews.com  Weekly Market Update: Janet Yellen's World

- This was the week that Janet Yellen put her stamp on global markets. The Fed tapered again in Wednesday's rate decision and dropped its 6.5% unemployment threshold, surprising nobody. But during the post-decision press conference, Yellen suggested the Fed would consider hiking rates as soon as six months after the end of QE3. Under a strict interpretation, if asset purchases end in November of this year as expected, rate hikes would arrive in the second quarter of 2015. Global markets were very choppy in the remainder of the week as participants recalibrated positions and worked out the implications of Yellen's verbal guidance. In other news, Russia absorbed Crimea and incurred retaliatory sanctions from the US and EU. In China, the PBoC widened the daily yuan trading band to 2% from 1% and appeared to continue its campaign to halt hot money inflows. The impact of data reports was pretty muted overall. For the week, the DJIA gained 1.4%, the Nasdaq rose 0.7%, and the S&P500 added 1.3%, touching a fresh record level on Friday before retreating from highs.

- In the statement accompanying Wednesday's rate decision, the FOMC formally dropped the 6.5% unemployment threshold. In its place, the FOMC said that in determining how long to maintain ultra-low rates, assessment of progress "will take into account a wide range of information, including measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and readings on financial developments." Many observers seemed to believe that Yellen's six-month comment was a slip of the tongue and was not intended to reshape forward guidance, especially after the Fed just dropped its quantitative unemployment threshold. Moreover, Yellen was emphatic that markets should not make strict interpretations and reiterated what all of her colleagues and former chair Bernanke have repeated again and again: the first rate hike is highly data-dependent and will reflect a "balanced judgment" about prospects both for labor market slack and inflation pressure.

- Minneapolis Fed President Kocherlakota was the sole dissenter to the FOMC decision. Kocherlakota has tended toward the dovish end of the spectrum and his dissent was rooted in concerns about the labor market. He warned that the new guidance weakened the Fed's commitment to its 2% inflation target and does not provide any information on the speed at which the Fed wants to reach full employment. St. Louis Fed President Bullard said that Yellen's comments on the timing of rate hikes was not a change in policy and was simply referring to market expectations about what was meant by a "considerable period."

- US bond traders reacted to the Fed statement swiftly by aggressively selling the middle and short end of the US curve. Ultimately the Fed offered up very little in the way of new information regardless, expectations have crept in for a little tighter policy next year; 2015 fed fund futures are now fully pricing in at least a 50 basis point rise in rates to begin by mid-summer. Previously traders had seen a greater likelihood of only 25 basis point hike to come sometime in the middle part of the second half. The 5-year/30-year spread has compressed to its flattest level since the summer of 2012. For the week the rate on the 30-year has climbed only marginally and the 10-year continues to hold near 2.75%, backing up a modest 10 basis points, while the 5-year is up some 20 basis points. Supply looms next week: $96B in 2-, 5- and 7-year notes could be challenging and keep pressure on the belly of the curve. Note that spot gold sank in the second half of the week, giving up 3.5% after the FOMC decision.

- The Fed released the first component - stress test results - of its Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) this week. Twenty nine of 30 banks passed the severely adverse scenario, which included a 4% jump in the unemployment rate, 4.75% negative GDP growth, a 50% decline in equity prices and a 25% decline in real estate prices. Zions Bancorp was the only institution that would not remain well-capitalized with Tier 1 common equity ratios of at least 5.0% under the stress scenario. The second component of CCAR, including the Fed's evaluation of each firm's capital plans, dividends and buybacks, will be disclosed Wednesday, March 26. Thanks to CCAR and higher rate expectations, both regional and tier-one banks saw robust gains this week, with the exception of Zions, whose shares lost nearly 5% on Friday.

- Russia formally absorbed Crimea this week, drawing US sanctions against various high-level Russian officials and a few selected institutions, most notably Bank Rossiya, a key firm used by the Putin regime and Geneva-based Gunvor, the world's No. 4 oil trading company. The European Union discussed possible sanction options but has taken little concrete action against Russia besides freezing military ties and sanctioning a few individuals. The EU also signed the political sections of the association agreement with Ukraine. Both S&P and Fitch have cut their sovereign outlooks on Russia to negative.

- FedEx missed earnings and revenue expectations in its third quarter report, and like so many firms before it blamed the weather. FedEx's CEO stated that "historically severe winter weather significantly affected our third quarter earnings. On days when the weather was closer to normal seasonal conditions, our volumes were solid and service levels were high." Nike reported very good third quarter results, but made troubling comments during its conference call, warning that FX headwinds would continue to reduce EPS in Q4 and into 2015, and would reduce FY15 earnings. Oracle missed top- and bottom-line expectations slightly in its third quarter and its fourth quarter outlook was also a bit soft. Analysts highlight the firm's high spending levels to catch up with a horde of cloud computing rivals.

- Ahead of March quarter earnings season, AK Steel and Nucor both offered their customary pre-earnings guidance statement. Both firms warned that EPS would be well below expectations, citing extreme weather that has disrupted customer demand. AK also cited a planned blast furnace outage and legal settlement charges.

- EUR/USD made a few last stabs at 1.3950 early this week before the FOMC decision reversed sentiment and strengthened the greenback. The pair hit two-week lows around 1.3750 on Thursday. The yen weakened in a more restrained fashion after the FOMC, rising from 101.60 to around 102.60 before strengthening a bit through week's end.

- The Chinese Yuan has now given back all of its 2013 gains as the PBoC lets the currency weaken further to curb hot money inflows. Last weekend, the PBoC widened its daily yuan trading band from 1% to 2%. USD/CNY spent most of the week above 6.20, raising concerns about a specialized financial product, originally used to hedge foreign exchange risk, called a trade redemption forward contract (RFC). The contract pays investors if the yuan remains strong and will start costing dearly as USD/CNY weakens past 6.20. In a report out recently, Morgan Stanley wrote there had been $350 billion RFCs sold since the beginning of 2013 and $150 billion might still be outstanding.

- Japan announced another trade deficit which was wider than expected but still smaller than the past three months on adjusted basis. Both exports and imports were up in high-single digits, for a 12th and 16th consecutive rise, respectively. Trade components also showed some improvement, with double-digit y/y exports increase to Asia, China, and Europe as well as a 6.4% drop in the bill for crude oil imports.

Mixed day - calls were good, with several 1:3ers making it solidly profitable, and with tech glitch issues with clearing house that left many without a chance to utilize those calls. Oh well, the technology is not perfect.

[11:01] {dino} w/ya ron, 01
[11:02] {munky} but just today right dino, u trade primarily das everyday?
06[11:02] * munky slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[11:05] {dino} not anymore. on streetsmartpro. das was max loss stopping me out because it used bid prices to calculate. i'd have 3 or 4 hookers going, bid would collapse and i would get stopped out on all positions, just did not work for my style. loved the buying power, short availability, and quickness. for those 3 things das is best i've ever used. just not for me. keeping account open for back up
[11:05] {dino} tho
01[11:06] {@Threei}  you ever tried to find out whether stop criteria can be changed to print?
[11:07] {dino} no
[11:07] {mojo1} so what do you like to use for your hookers dino?
[11:08] {dino} streetsmartpro. figure hookers are pro's right?
[11:09] {dino} 3i, don't get me wrong, das is great.
01[11:09] {@Threei}  I know
01[11:09] {@Threei}  I just think it's worth finding out, might resolve the only issue you have with it while keeping all the advantages
[11:10] {dino} when things calm down for me. right now a lot business issues on my plate

[11:21] {munky} sorry, back
[11:22] {munky} dino, why didnt u raise the mawx loss on acct with das?
01[11:22] {@Threei}  that's not his issue
01[11:22] {@Threei}  he uses automatic stops
[11:22] {munky} and is streetsmart pro schwab?
01[11:23] {@Threei}  they are set to trigger on bid price, not on actual print,
01[11:23] {@Threei}  so spread widening takes him out of position
01[11:23] {@Threei}  if you don't use auto stops, you have no problem

01[13:35] {@Threei}  Ukraine has estimated a damage as a result of the nationalization of Ukraine's property in Crimea by Russia as hundreds of billion of US dollars and is going to appeal against this at international arbitration tribunals, Premier of Ukraine Arseniy Yatseniuk told journalists
[13:36] {dino} can't blame them for trying
01[13:36] {@Threei}  this is actually a good move
[13:37] {RonS} so, some dudes in the Hague going to rule, then collect?
[13:37] {RonS} good luck with that...
01[13:37] {@Threei}  arbitration tribunal rules in their favor, Russia refuses to pay of course, economic blocade goes up
[13:37] {fish_49} so if they collect money, in a way, Putin bought Crimea?
01[13:38] {@Threei}  and any funds that can be reached can be subjected to confiscation to satisfy tribunal ruling
01[13:39] {@Threei}  considering that Crimea is heavily subsidized, no one would ever want to buy it
01[13:39] {@Threei}  it's a financial burden on Russia as it is
[13:40] {fish_49} so the issue to Russia was more Location on the map?

01[13:41] {@Threei}  also, making Ukraine a country in conflict prevents its acceptance by NATO
01[13:46] {@Threei}  my good deed for the day is done - informed nemo that bp issue is resolved and he missed a few good trades
[13:46] {fish_49} yea better late than never  (To inform him)
[13:47] {fish_49} I messaged him once I got the confirmation email from NANKO folks
[13:47] {fish_49} Nonko*
01[13:47] {@Threei}  well, it's missing trades by him that delivered the most satisfaction
01[13:47] {@Threei}  The U.s. State Department’s Special Envoy for Energy Affairs Carlos Paqual estimated that over the next several years “at least 80-90 billion cubic meters of gas could enter the European market through new sources from Australia, Mozambique, Algeria, and other countries.”
[13:47] {fish_49} lol
01[13:47] {@Threei}  Russian gas giant Gazprom may lose the European energy marketm, since Europe can buy 160 billion cubic meters of gas from alternative sources – the exact amount it purchased from Gazprom in 2013, according to Carlos Pasqual
01[13:48] {@Threei}  now, that would really really hurt
[13:48] {fish_49} how much do they export
01[13:49] {@Threei}  historically, Russian leaders lost control over situation and country during low energy prices
01[13:49] {@Threei}  a lot
[13:49] {fish_49} near or more than 160 Billion Cubic feet?
01[13:49] {@Threei}  oil/gas needle is practically all the country lives on
[13:49] {dino} 30% of europes needs from russia
[13:50] {fish_49} can somoene sell it to EU cheaper and deliver it as efficient?
[13:51] {fish_49} SPY in bounce territory

[14:04] {dino} hoping frackers. we've been doing it for 60 years, not like its new
[14:04] {fish_49} yea but that is why we have global warming
