Dec 16 2008

Fair day, but plagued by multiple disconnections. The log is littered by replays that occur on reconnection, and I really am not not up to editing it all... posting as is, sorry. Just scroll past long string with the same time stamp after the line saying Disconnected.

Session Time: Tue Dec 16 00:00:00 2008

[07:43] {Threei}  (RU) RUSSIAN OIL MIN OFFICIAL: RUSSIA MAY HOLD TALKS WITH OPEC THIS WEEK REGARDING ENTRY TO THE ORGANIZATION, TALKS TO INCLUDE SAUDI ARABIA AND ALGERIA
[07:47] {Threei}  FOMC EXPECTED TO CUT, AND SHED LIGHT ON QUANTITATIVE EASING
[07:47] {Threei}  - The overwhelming consensus amongst analysts is for a 50bps cut at today's FOMC meeting. The January Fed Fund Futures contract is fully pricing in a 50bps cut, and about a 60% chance of a 75bps cut. A 50bps cut would put the target rate at 0.50%, the lowest on record. A 75bps cut would put the target rate at 0.25%, below base rates in Switzerland (0.50%), and Japan (0.30%).

[13:36] {Threei}  PREVIEW: FOMC RATE DECISION DUE OUT AT 2:15PMET
[13:36] {Threei}  **consensus expectation is for a further 50bps cut to 0.50%, a record low for US rates. A few forecasters are predicting a 75bps, including BoA, ING and UBS economists. A tiny minority of economists are forecasting either a 25pbs cut or a full 100bps cut. Fed funds futures are currently pricing in an over 50% chance of a 75 bps cut today.
[13:37] {Threei}  **with the rate likely to move to a record low, and effective rate already so close to zero, alot of talk has been focused on whether the FOMC will use the statement today to discuss the means of future policy actions. While some speculate that the Fed will move directly to some language about a new quantitative directive, it seems more likely that the Fed will aknowledge the immense liquidity operations it has put in place already and leave policy outlook open ended, allowing the FOMC more time to consider how to address the next evolution of policy (more on this discussion may emerge in the minutes of today's meeting upon their release three weeks from now).

[14:01] {dino} no
[14:10] {peterg} OK, heres a question for you laser users: on account summary, theree is tickets, shares, etc.  realized, unrealied and ratio.
[14:10] {peterg} what is ratio?
[14:11] {peterg} expenses to profits?
[14:12] {peterg} dont mean to disturb anyone's nap
[14:13] {Threei}  funny thing is, peter,
[14:13] {Threei}  at some point I wondered,
[14:13] {Threei}  found out
[14:13] {Threei}  and totally forgot now
[14:13] {peterg} and have forgotten!
[14:13] {Threei}  yup
[14:13] {peterg} you dont think its % of expense 
[14:13] {Threei}  no
[14:14] {Threei}  something to do with positive/negative trades
[14:14] {peterg} ok, I dont care about that, I think
[14:14] {peterg} Am trying to get a feel for per cent of profit consumed by expenses in laser
[14:14] {peterg} not too hard to figure
[14:15] {Threei}  on the analysis page there are:
[14:15] {Threei}  overnight ratio
[14:15] {Threei}  total ratio
[14:15] {Threei}  passthrough ratio
[14:15] {Threei}  commissions ratio
[14:15] {Threei}  and net ratio

[14:27] {Geo} made a few bad trades today... need some castor oil
[14:27] {Threei}  and from pure chart point of view, so far all we have is a very shallow pullback on a very low volume
[14:29] {peterg} From a personal point of  view it is so boring that I am going to go look at more cell phone possibilities.
[14:30] {Threei}  Rogers offered me a free Blackberry Curve with just $15/month more than my current plan

[08:55] {Onix} sorry for the caps,it is not that good!
[08:55] {cosmo} good for a buggy whip rebound maybe?
[08:56] {Onix} yes, that could easily happen

[09:06] {Onix} hi dino
[09:08] {peterg} i mean good morning all
[09:08] {Threei}  peter :)
[09:08] {Threei}  market is climbing back
[09:09] {Threei}  waiting for plan B as in TARP funds to automakers?
[09:09] {Geo} good morning
[09:09] {Threei}  geo
[09:09] {Onix} hi peter
[09:09] {Threei}  lol, there you go
[09:09] {Threei}  WHITE HOUSE AIDE: PRESIDENT BUSH WOULD CONSIDER USING TARP FUNDS TO HELP AUTOMAKER
[09:09] {Threei}  - Letting the automakers fail would be irresponsible.{F GM}
[09:12] {dino} this auto game reminds me of tarp game. need 6 votes to get it, do damage, drag it out for political shining, then vote it through
[09:12] {cosmo} no auto maker left behind...
[09:12] {Onix} you can read their minds already Vad?
[09:13] {Threei}  thought yesterday when they rekected a loan that would be a theme today, Onix
[09:13] {Threei}  I find it hard ti imagine they would let them fail now
[09:13] {Threei}  last thing Bush wants is to have this last stain
[09:13] {Onix} true .. just stalling like dino says
[09:13] {Threei}  he will prefer to postpone this decision and leave it to next prez
[09:14] {Threei}  so in this or that form, it will go throuhg
[09:14] {Threei}  and dino's analogy is dead on
[09:14] {dino} remember sept votes, 6 or so off. repeating imo
[09:15] {Threei}  I intend to be very conservative and risk-averse today guys
[09:15] {dptl} good morning all
[09:15] {Threei}  dp :)
[09:15] {Onix} hi dp
[09:15] {dptl} :)
[09:16] {Threei}  one reason is obvious, jerky market in highly fluid situation with constant news barrage
[09:16] {Threei}  another is...
[09:16] {Threei}  I've run incredibly long streak of winning days, can't even remember last losing one
[09:16] {Threei}  I think more than month ago
[09:16] {ese} morning
[09:16] {Threei}  there are odds
[09:17] {Onix} hi ese
[09:17] {Threei}  and I have to account them in
[09:17] {ese} hey onix
[09:17] {Threei}  whe inevitable losing day comes, I want damage to be minimal
[09:17] {dino} i understand vad
[09:17] {Threei}  the worst thing you can do in this situation is to decide that it's your genius in works,
[09:18] {Threei}  and you are immune to losses
[09:18] {wishbone} gm all
[09:18] {Threei}  wishbone :)
[09:18] {Onix} hi wishbone
[09:18] {Threei}  healthy dose of humbliness is necessary
[09:19] {Onix} otherwise the market WILL do it to you?
[09:19] {Threei}  and being humble is not really my character trait... so gotta deliberately restrain myself :)
[09:19] {Threei}  exactly onix
[09:19] {Threei}  doeas it sound familar:
[09:20] {Threei}  you win, win, win, having great streak,
[09:20] {Threei}  then one day comes
[09:20] {Threei}  that eats absolutely disproportional portion of your winnings
[09:20] {Onix} way too familiar
[09:20] {Threei}  there
[09:20] {Threei}  this is ego at work
[09:20] {lisa_jay} Hello everyone
[09:21] {Threei}  lisa :)
[09:21] {Onix} hi lisa
[09:21] {Threei}  you decided subconsiously it's not odds, it's not your system,
[09:21] {Threei}  it's YOU
[09:21] {Threei}  great and terrbile, invincible
[09:21] {Threei}  rules don't apply to you
[09:21] {Threei}  you will win anyway
[09:21] {Onix} ha-ha-ha
[09:21] {Threei}  following rules or breaking them, you are above the rules
[09:22] {Threei}  well... smackdown comes inevitable, and hard smakdown it will be
[09:22] {dino} been there
[09:22] {Threei}  yeah... ask me how I know :)
[09:22] {Onix} structure & discipline or i go under
[09:22] {peterg} just when I wuz gonna increase my share size to 2000

[10:06] {lisa_jay} he does look a little scared though
[10:07] {Geo} what i am amazed at is they are basically not willing to compete
[10:08] {dino} the unions much give or the workers will be out of work, imo
[10:08] {Geo} yup
[10:09] {Geo} looks like its blindingly obvious to everyone except them
[10:09] {Threei}  I guess they just play this high stakes game

[12:37] {Threei}  offering 1/4 .28
[12:37] {Threei}  taken
[12:38] {Threei}  last part don't know yet
[12:38] {Threei}  .45 feels about right
[12:38] {dptl} .47 :)
[12:38] {Threei}  okay :)
[12:39] {Threei}  lol, hit .45 exactly but haven't took out my offer
[12:39] {Threei}  out .35
[12:39] {Threei}  me happy
[12:40] {Threei}  who followed?
[12:40] {KSystems} i was shaken out when it touched .99
[12:40] {dptl} hehe ...you won out .30 ty
[12:40] {Threei}  uh, no
[12:40] {Threei}  dp :)
[12:41] {Threei}  sharp spike down, just 1 cents under 9, and lower band came right there for support
[12:41] {Threei}  I usually don't exit that literally
[12:41] {Threei}  typical shakeout
[12:41] {KSystems} yes...now i do see it
[12:42] {Threei}  better give it a few cents more, especially considering that first half was secured already
[12:42] {KSystems} i see
[12:42] {KSystems} thanks
[12:42] {Threei}  :)
[12:42] {wishbone} thnxs for the insight vad
[12:43] {wishbone} i've been shaken out like that many times before
[12:46] {Threei}  if you see the pattern repeating that undermines your pwrformance... what do you do? :)
[12:46] {Threei}  have a look at MPP part discussing optimizing your performance
[12:47] {Threei}  deals with exactly this
[12:48] {KSystems} I may have misinterpreted the situation with "dont lower your stop just because it may be triggered"
[12:48] {KSystems} and accepted it
[12:49] {Threei}  okay, let's make this distinction, lest I give an impression I advocate ignoring or discretionary widening the stops
[12:50] {Threei}  last thing you want to do is to move your stop lower simply because you don't want to take a loss
[12:50] {Threei}  what I mean here is the following
[12:50] {Threei}  Now and then you run stats on your trades as discussed in MPP
[12:50] {Threei}  to see if there is a certain pattern
[12:50] {Threei}  repeating itself over and over
[12:51] {Threei}  and taking you our ot trades too soon or too late.
[12:51] {lisa_jay} I think this is why you prefer to use manual stops vs. putting in system.
[12:51] {Threei}  Overtightened stops will for example be obvious if you see that on too many of your trades stock reversed very close to your stop point,
[12:51] {Threei}  just enough to shake you out.
[12:52] {Threei}  You will put your entries and exits on the chart
[12:52] {Threei}  and see what happened after your exit.
[12:52] {Threei}  If most of them did just that - you know your stops are too tight.
[12:52] {Threei}  You run very simple stats thaty show you how your result would look had ttou move a stop a few cents lower
[12:53] {Threei}  You see your profit increasing - you got your answer.
[12:53] {Threei}  This pattern of stocks diving 1-2 cents under your trailed stop and reversing immediately - I saw it way too often,
[12:53] {wishbone} can u print graphs from laser?
[12:53] {Threei}  started looking at charts closer
[12:54] {Threei}  and saw that in cases when stop was touched on sharp spike down
[12:54] {Threei}  and on touch of lowed band
[12:54] {Threei}  lower
[12:54] {KSystems} =bollinger band?
[12:54] {Threei}  they bounced immediately more often than tey continued down
[12:54] {Threei}  yes
[12:54] {KSystems} ok
[12:55] {Threei}  so, I run some paper trades
[12:55] {Threei}  saw the effectiveness of correction
[12:55] {Threei}  and made it.
[12:55] {KSystems} great advise as usual, thank you
[12:55] {KSystems} I am actually on paper for the rest of the year, to sort out things like that
[12:55] {Threei}  oh, it's all in MPP...
[12:55] {KSystems} going to go live in january
06[12:55] * Threei slaps KSystems around a bit with a large Master Profit Plan
[12:55] {wishbone} Vad is this partly why you changed band to 13 and st dev to 1.7?
[12:56] {KSystems} I should read it again
[12:56] {Threei}  just found that setting works better for intraday wishbone
[12:56] {wishbone} ok ty
[12:58] {Threei}  I am about to cry here
[12:58] {Threei}  profitable day again
[12:58] {Threei}  (so far)
[12:59] {Threei}  scared to get out of the house, briicks ough to start dropping from the sky on me
[13:00] {Threei}  lisa... you promised to laugh at my next not funny joke???
[13:00] {Threei}  that ws as it!
[13:00] {magoo} ivve seen a change in your trading vad since reading MTT
[13:00] {lisa_jay} oh....well.
[13:00] {Threei}  sigh
[13:00] {magoo} mtt=magoos trading techniques
[13:00] {Threei}  magoo... sorry, lost me
[13:01] {Threei}  ah
[13:01] {Threei}  that
[13:01] {Threei}  I honestly tried to read it
[13:01] {Threei}  but come on, you could put more in there that drunkenly drawn sketches of beer bottle and naked women
[13:02] {lisa_jay} Do you have any old Russian remedies for warding off evil (jealousy) Vad.  Then just follow it step by step.
[13:03] {Threei}  jealousy of what?
[13:03] {lisa_jay} You said that you were scared to go out of house due to everyday being profitable.
[13:04] {Threei}  well... it's unnaturally long streak
[13:04] {dino} ironically, magoo's always ducking out of the way of (thrown) bricks
[13:04] {Threei}  and I start feeling sometimes that posting those days one after another I start looking like one of those gurus who claim never being wrong
[13:04] {lisa_jay} :-)
[13:04] {Threei}  but hell... record is public in a form of calls in trading logs
[13:05] {Threei}  and yes, I do have recipe
[13:05] {Threei}  or to be exact modification
[13:05] {KSystems} We can quote that as {Threei} [...] I start feeling [...] like one of those gurus [...] never being wrong
[13:06] {Threei}  they say a cure from one woman is another... so to apply it to trading, best cure is do the same
[13:06] {dino} lol ks
[13:06] {wishbone} lol ks
[13:07] {wishbone} spin city
