Boring day ended up pretty much flat - some qwinds and some stops balanced each other out. Didn't have a feel for the market rythm at all so missed this end of day rally. Oh well.

[09:28] {Threei}  I have no clean setups for opening trades
[09:29] {Threei}  nice thing to see would be GE forming a range between .40 and .55, then breaking it to the upside
[09:29] {dino} 10.59 area big gap ge
[09:29] {Threei}  just want it to happen over 5-15 minutes, not right away

[08:31] {Threei}  - DNDN announced today that the pivotal Phase 3 IMPACT study of PROVENGE(R) (sipuleucel-T) in men with advanced prostate cancer met its primary endpoint of improving overall survival compared to a placebo control. The magnitude of the survival difference observed in the intent to treat population resulted in the study successfully achieving the pre-specified level of statistical significance defined by the study''s design. The safety profile of PROVENGE appeared to be consistent with prior trials.

[12:48] {Threei}  was resistance earlier in the morning, around 10 am,
[12:48] {Threei}  got borken, turned into support,
[12:49] {Threei}  got tested for a few minutes after 12,
[12:49] {Threei}  became a trigger for a short if broken
[12:50] {larisa} ty
[12:50] {Threei}  sure... but don't think for a second I rememberd
[12:50] {Threei}  I reconstructed it looking at the chart

[12:51] {Threei}  lest
[12:51] {larisa} not you, some of us.. must be me and nemo :)
[12:52] {Threei}  can't tell you how irritating this attitude is
[12:53] {dino} still trying to figure out how the money i made in real estate was only paper according to prez
[12:53] {Threei}  big brother deciding who is useful and who is not, and engineering who will be rewarded and who won't
[12:54] {Threei}  (KS) NORTH KOREA HAS ORDERED NUCLEAR INSPECTORS OUT OF THE COUNTRY - WSJ

[13:08] {Threei}  oh
[13:08] {Threei}  that explains it
[13:09] {dino} sm risky l snda .90
[13:09] {dino} wide
[13:09] {Threei}  just thinking such spike and drop should produce some bounce, at least on short covering if nothing else
[13:11] {dino} off my screen
[13:11] {dino} i don't like stocks that i cannot short
[13:11] {dino} seems rigged

[13:28] {Threei} Long Setup:  BAC  .50 break if dtayas above .45
[13:29] {dptl} in .50
[13:29] {nemo} in
[13:30] {Threei}  out.59
[13:30] {nemo} out scalp

[13:34] {nemo} RIMM running again
[13:34] {Threei} Long Setup:  FAS  .50 break if stays above .45
[13:35] {Threei}  .40 is more defined support

[13:39] {Threei}  can I pretend I meant FAZ in the alert above?
[13:39] {nemo} Changing your handle to FantasyTrader?
[13:39] {nemo} You meant "short" setup...
[13:39] {Threei}  nah, short would requite total redoing of alert
[13:40] {Threei}  and there is no need,
[13:40] {nemo} yeah,  i tried...
[13:40] {Threei}  any setup like this can be used for short if it invalidates before triggering
[13:40] {Threei}  that's at your discretion
[13:40] {Threei}  Chaeron likes to do that
[13:40] {Threei}  but both FAS and FAZ formed .45 - .50 setups, lol
[13:43] {vinod} BACK FROM WORK. STILL HAVE 200 cat SHORTED AT 23.00
[13:43] {larisa} 33 I hope

06[13:45] * Threei slaps nemo around a bit with a large request not to read his mind
[13:45] {nemo} It's scary in there
[13:46] {Threei}  yeah, trying to protect you
[13:47] {Threei}  nope, ruined again
[13:47] {nemo} sort below .30?
[13:47] {nemo} short
[13:47] {nemo} like me
[13:48] {Threei}  I'd prefer long FAZ then
[13:48] {Threei}  but then I'd like a shallow pullback first
[13:48] {Threei}  let's say not lower than .55
[13:48] {Threei}  then .65 trigger for long
[13:49] {Threei}  and if loses .55, try to get it off the low, c,loser to .50
[13:49] {vinod} can't do all your trade because of work but can do most--vad
[13:49] {Threei}  on first sign of strength and if not losing .45
[13:49] {vinod} and it is taking me time to get used to this system
[13:49] {Threei}  how is it working for you vinod?
[13:50] {vinod} so far good but have to go through all your cd yest
[13:51] {Threei}  sorry, lost me... had to go yesterday and di, or still have to go through them? :)
[13:51] {dptl} holding .55 so far
[13:52] {vinod} holding 200 SRS i brought in morning at 32.50
[13:52] {nemo} market picking up a bit
[13:54] {Threei} Short Setup: BAC  .50 break
[13:54] {Threei}  if holding below .55
[13:54] {nemo} in faz and BAC
[13:55] {dptl} in bac
[13:55] {dptl} in faz
[13:55] {vinod} in bac
06[13:56] * Threei kicks FAZ in the rear
06[13:56] * Threei hits BAC over the head with 2x4
[13:56] {Threei}  violence works
[13:56] {vinod} i hate FAS and FAZ
[13:57] {Threei}  BAC over 1:1
[13:57] {nemo} out scalp
[13:57] {nemo} out faz .71
[13:57] {dptl} out bac
[13:57] {dptl} still in faz
[13:58] {Threei}  FAZ was 2 cents from 1:1... disguting little 3x
[13:58] {nemo} I remembered BAC earlier
[13:59] {cosmo} dptr
[13:59] {cosmo} ... a departure
[14:01] {Threei}  FAZ stop to .58, and if uncomfortable, feel free to scratch it
[14:02] {dptl} out faz -.02
06[14:02] * Threei puts dp on the list of uncomfortable ones
[14:03] {dptl} lol
[14:06] {nemo} FAZ building a nice wedge to .70 is their another trigger
[14:06] {Threei}  yup
[14:06] {Threei}  I am comfortable
[14:06] {nemo} .73
[14:06] {Threei}  and I crossed dp out of my list
[14:08] {_jfjf64} faz?
[14:08] {vinod} cover BAC 10.42
[14:08] {cosmo} QGEN hod = 15.51  fwiw
[14:08] {Threei}  over 1:1
[14:08] {Threei}  half out
[14:08] {Threei}  want to give it a chance
[14:08] {dptl} maan...ye..i shoul get more comfortable :)
[14:09] {Threei}  BAC's death was slow and painful
[14:09] {Threei}  FAZ 1:2
[14:10] {vinod} damm I cover BAC too early i need to learn more?
[14:10] {Threei}  1/4 more out .88
[14:11] {Threei}  +.23
[14:11] {Threei}  hard to tell vinod... this day looked more like scalping
[14:11] {Threei}  who knows when it changes
[14:11] {Threei}  partialling out is the way to let them more room
[14:12] {Threei}  but most of partials earlier in the day didn't really work
[14:12] {vinod} i am using 1k position and no partials so far
[14:13] {Threei}  stop under .70 for the last portion FAZ
[14:14] {Threei}  so far so good
[14:15] {Threei}  not as stellar day as yesterday but pretty solid
[14:16] {vinod} if i use 5k position size will do great but afraid to do so
[14:16] {nemo} welcome to the choir
[14:16] {Threei}  there is a time for everything
[14:17] {patience} i need momo environment to do 5k vinod
[14:17] {Threei}  no one starts with 5K
[14:17] {Threei}  unless they are suciadal
[14:17] {Threei}  MPP has whole procedure for upping the size
[14:17] {Threei}  follow it to the letter, you'll be fine
[14:17] {vinod} i am comfortable with you vad will go slow
[14:20] {Threei}  (US) WHITE HOUSE ECON ADVISOR SUMMERS: THERE IS A LOT OF WORK YET TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO GET THROUGH THE STRAINS IN THE US FINANCIAL SYSTEM

[14:21] {Threei}  with your style 5K would be triple suicide
[14:21] {nemo} how can you kill yourself more than once?
[14:22] {Threei}  well, you use axe but you don't get it right on the first try
[14:23] {nemo} using an axe to commit suicide is rather difficult
[14:23] {dptl} fitb ?
[14:23] {nemo} RIMM
[14:24] {Threei}  not sure about FITB
[14:24] {larisa} jump off the cliff smoking and shoot yourself half way down :)
[14:24] {Threei}  looks tempting bvut requires a lot of fuel to move
[14:25] {Threei}  sounds about right larisa... also, before jumping swalow a lot of pills and tie the loop around your neck,
[14:25] {nemo} FAS break .50 or are we back into FAZ?
[14:25] {Threei}  you can also increase the effect by jumping out of the window under the moving bus
[14:25] {nemo} Jump in front of a subway train
[14:27] {Threei}  poll: 58% think Obama has clear economic plan
[14:28] {Threei}  I consistently underestimate the numbers of delusional...

[14:28] {vinod} nemo how can you kill yourself more than once? --get married?

06[14:38] * nemo slaps Threei around a bit with a large bottle of Grey Goose
[14:38] {larisa} for being sarcastic :)
[14:38] {Threei}  hmmm
[14:39] {Threei}  you prepared to slap me about 60 times per hour?
[14:39] {larisa} lol
[14:39] {nemo} what he say?
[14:39] {dptl} still valid?
[14:39] {Threei}  yes
[14:40] {dptl} got .18
[14:40] {Threei}  half out .31
[14:40] {dptl} out .33 ty
[14:41] {Threei}  stop to .09
[14:41] {dptl} so iam on gamblers list now..:)
[14:41] {Threei}  yup
[14:41] {Threei}  uncomfortable gambler
[14:41] {dptl} lol
[14:42] {Threei}  I combine lists, you see
[14:42] {Threei}  in order to reduce paperwork
[14:42] {Threei}  and save trees
[14:42] {dptl} :)
[14:43] {nemo} why .15 and not when it broke resistance @ .19 or .20?
[14:43] {Threei}  huge offer at .15
[14:43] {nemo} oh
[14:43] {dptl} EDGX
[14:44] {Threei}  allowed to fine-tune entry
[14:44] {Threei}  level 2 must be good for something, right?
[14:44] {dptl} colorfull box nice to look at lol
[14:45] {Threei}  yeah, I am a sucker for flashing lights
[14:46] {Threei}  FEED... 3.30 two day's resistance
[14:46] {Threei}  out DNDN in full
[14:46] {Threei}  .53
[14:46] {Threei}  + something good
[14:46] {_jfjf64} lol
[14:47] {Threei}  this is somewhat wierd play guys... FEED
[14:47] {Threei}  canm turn into swing
[14:48] {Threei}  3.30 resistance, 3 support,
[14:48] {Threei}  looks good on daily,
[14:48] {Threei}  but kind of hard to imagine it would go a lot today if breaks
[14:48] {Threei}  so could turn into overnight hold
[14:49] {Threei}  so decide for yourself if you are comfortable with that
[14:49] {Threei}  and with such wide stop
[14:50] {Threei}  of course you can always turn it into scalp but chart is hard to read for that
[14:51] {Threei}  I'd say, .15 - .20 is closest support for scalpers
[14:51] {Threei}  so break of .40 and spike would be for exit
[14:52] {Threei}  anyone went for it?
[14:52] {_jfjf64} you on fire
[14:53] {Threei}  me is?
[15:02] {nemo} any news?  what with fas
[15:02] {Threei}  nope
[15:03] {dino} whole market
[15:03] {nemo} RIMM not really participating

[15:12] {Threei}  {XLF C BAC}
[15:13] {dino} they need another committee 
[15:14] {cosmo} they need to see they're doctor
[15:19] {nemo} fas break of .65?
[15:19] {Threei}  C starts looking interesting
[15:19] {Threei}  was intrigued at .10 but somehow didn't find resolve in myself
[15:19] {Threei}  watching for some pullback or consolidation now
[15:20] {nemo} damn fas
[15:27] {Threei}  (US) REPORTEDLY US REGULATORS ARE PREPARING A "CONCEPT PAPER" TO EXPLAIN HOW TO INTERPRET THE RESULTS OF BANK STRESS TESTS, TO RELEASE STRESS TEST RESULTS BEFORE THE END OF APRIL (TIMING IN LINE WITH PRIOR GOVT FORECASTS) - UNCONFIRMED REPORT
[15:27] {Threei}  - Regulators still trying to decide how to disclose the results of stress tests.
[15:27] {Threei}  - Regulators (including SEC) are attempting to determine whether tests are deemed an examination or a material event that must be disclosed.
[15:27] {Threei}  - Stress tests will be on capital levels, not capital ratios.
[15:27] {Threei}  - Reminder: Many contradictory reports have circulated in recent weeks on whether or not stress test results will be made public on either a company-specific or industry-wide basis.
[15:28] {Threei}  this all is very stupid
[15:29] {Threei}  if yopu believe that test reflects soething objective, release the results, we have the right to know and there is no need to patronize us
[15:29] {Threei}  if tests are useless, why do you conduct them
[15:29] {nemo} PR looks like they're doing something
[15:30] {Threei}  anyway...
[15:30] {Threei} Long Setup:  FAS  .55 if holding above .45
[15:30] {Threei} Long Setup:  C  .15 if holding above .10

[15:40] {Threei}  no worly
[15:49] {vinod} see you tomorrow
[15:49] {Threei}  take care vinod
[15:50] {nemo} gnite
[15:53] {Threei}  interesting how strong C remains comparing to other finnies

[09:29] {Threei}  [BRCD] Brocade Communications Systems Inc. Piper Jaffray Raised BRCD to Buy from Neutral, price target: $6
[09:29] {Threei}  - Firm believes an expanded IBM relationship was the biggest variable in BRCD's FY10 revenue guidance of $2.3-2.6B (includes BRCD/FDRY sales synergies) versus the $2.1-2.2B guidance (no sales synergies).
[09:29] {Threei}  - While there is still some residual integration risk with regard to the Foundry acquisition, firm believes there are many near-term catalysts that outweigh the integration risks.

[12:09] {Threei}  US TREASURY RELEASES MUTUAL BANKS TARP TERM SHEET
[12:10] {Threei}  keep an eye on JNPR
[12:10] {Threei}  if market drops, this one looks nicely for a short
[12:11] {Threei}  17.80 being obvious trigger,
[12:12] {Threei}  but aggressive entry looks possible if we get sharp market drop and JNOPR delay
[12:13] {_jfjf64} stop??
[12:13] {Threei}  so far high of consolidation range is .92
[12:14] {Threei}  so .95 looks right for a stop with aggressive entry
[12:14] {_jfjf64} ty
[12:16] {nemo} RIMM Vad?
[12:17] {Threei}  market feels to me like dropping from here
[12:17] {dino} itri stop to .74
[12:17] {Threei}  RIMM doesn't look this way
[12:17] {Threei}  so my read is probably off

[12:29] {ese} drys can pop up there like that though
[12:32] {dptl} long apwr.25
[12:32] {ese} one thing that has changed in my trading though is that when i exit a stock and it shoots up .......i'm into the "ahhhhhhh big deal stage"...more where that came from....doesn't bug frame of mind
[12:34] {nemo} was RIMM on break of resistance a reasonable trade?  Or not at lunch time?
[12:34] {dino} seems you've found your edge
[12:35] {ese} it's taken a while dino.......
[12:35] {Threei}  answer in retrospect will sure be tainted by knowing the outcome
[12:35] {nemo} came right back too, lunch time scalp at best
[12:36] {ese} a la drys right now......shot right up there....has no effect on me......whereas before it was the ..."Damn.....if i'd just hung on sybdrome"

[12:48] {nemo} well, that's if history repeats itself
[12:49] {nemo} GS has probably made a killing this quarter, considering they were one of the big counterparties to AIG

[14:48] {Threei}  - The upgrade reflects our evaluation of Ford's creditworthiness following the company's completion of what we considered to be a distressed debt exchange. The transaction improved Ford's capital structure; Ford's automotive debt was reduced by $9.9B, from $25.8B at Dec. 31, 2008. Still, Ford estimates that annual cash interest savings will be less than $600M, a fraction of the company's automotive cash outflows in 2008 and, we believe, in 2009.{GM}
