[14:18] {nemo} Mmmmmmmhhhhh.....wonder if X wants to break
[14:19] {ScottM} SPY trying to break range to upside
01[14:20] {Threei}  it sure formed right chart for break
01[14:20] {Threei}  but I can't bring myself to play it
[14:21] {nemo} yeah, it'll break if spy breaks decisively above .50
[14:24] {nemo} wow look tlt
[14:27] {nemo} I was wrong about X, it broke
[14:28] {kschun} great call on X

01[14:34] {Threei}  up or down, roll a dice
01[14:34] {Threei}  nah
01[14:34] {Threei}  very narrow
01[14:34] {Threei}  most likely will rinse you either way
01[14:35] {Threei}  market is locked tight guys
01[14:35] {Threei}  why do you try to find a play where there is none
01[14:35] {Threei}  just wait for something to start happening
[14:35] {kschun} you are right
[14:36] {kschun} have to work on this.
[14:36] {nemo} spy coming to end of triangle formation
[14:36] {nemo} or pennant
[14:36] {nemo} whatever
[14:36] {kschun} internals say long
[14:43] {nemo} o.k.spy is .02 cents or 5 minuts from breaking downtrend
[14:44] {RonS} ooof ten
01[14:46] {Threei}  my bet is still on rejection and drop
[14:46] {nemo} what's "oof ten"
[14:46] {nemo} often spelled incorrectly
01[14:46] {Threei}  friking SLW
01[14:47] {Threei}  that was disgusting rinse
01[14:47] {Threei}  want to short X
01[14:48] {Threei}  .90 break, semi-aggressive
01[14:48] {Threei}  if stays under 60
01[14:49] {Threei}  invalidated'
01[14:51] {Threei}  (EG) Egypt Pres Mubarak: would like to resign now but cannot, because it would lead to chaos - ABC news
[14:51] {nemo} Maxwell Smart
[14:51] {kschun} BBBY - still holding.  still looking ready for jump higher
[14:51] {RonS} 99
[14:51] {dino} swm sm l .25
[14:53] {nemo} frickin Rax creped up on me
[14:53] {nemo} spy broke downtrend
01[14:56] {Threei}  hate this slow crawl up
01[14:56] {Threei}  so not our environment
[14:58] {nemo} boy the games in tck broke .20 and dropped right to .10
[15:00] {kschun} the games :-)
[15:03] {kschun} JCI trying .40
01[15:07] {Threei}  rally officially continues
[15:07] {nemo} new high coming
[15:12] {nemo} lvs c&h
[15:12] {nemo} 5 min
01[15:18] {Threei}  LVS earning today
01[15:18] {Threei}  hard to imagine it woyldn't retreat at all before day end
[15:18] {nemo} trend line around .44 if you want to try a bounce play
01[15:22] {Threei}  dunno.. LVSD looks like short to me
01[15:22] {Threei}  LVS
[15:24] {kschun} shorted some at .43
[15:24] {nemo} .33 support
01[15:25] {Threei}  here it goes
01[15:26] {Threei}  hope it made your day a bit less crappy, ks
[15:26] {nemo} tck broke
[15:27] {nemo} bounced right at vwap
[15:27] {kschun} still looking bad. however 1/3 of the hole loss are passtroughs...
[15:27] {nemo} lvs that is
[15:28] {kschun} this will not be correct, real numbers always lower.
[15:28] {kschun} use EDGA with routing option ROUC in laser, best for removing liquidity
[15:30] {kschun} trying VMC
01[15:39] {Threei}  see how LVS gets smacked on bounces now?
01[15:39] {Threei}  pre-eranings positions are being eliminated, each bounce is a chance to exit
01[15:43] {Threei}  schun... I have a feeling that you repeat the same routine daikly:
01[15:43] {Threei}  dig a holew, then comwe in to fill it in
01[15:43] {Threei}  hole
01[15:44] {Threei}  why not start with coming in here, avoiding digging that hgole in a first place
[15:46] {kschun} you are right.
[15:47] {kschun} today really making me sick, worst possible trade management ever.
01[15:47] {Threei}  sheesh... my wife would hate you for this phrase
[15:47] {kschun} LOL :-)
01[15:47] {Threei}  per her, my greatest shrtcoming is being right almost always
[15:48] {kschun} see VMC: good setup and good trade. but was not able to profit enoug from this trade.
[15:48] {kschun} had two bad trades at the beginning of the day, and this two trades followed me the hole day (2-3 hours I trade)
01[15:49] {Threei}  as a rule, we have an active and productive morning
01[15:49] {Threei}  why don't you utilize that
[15:50] {kschun} working in the morning...
01[15:51] {Threei}  well, whenever you find time to make those bad trades, come here instead :)
[15:51] {kschun} and this sucks, but have to. my wife doing PHD, so until she studies I have to work...
[15:51] {kschun} right :-)
01[15:52] {Threei}  I mean even if all you find here is bad jokes, even that is better than losing money
[15:57] {magoo} .
01[15:58] {Threei}  I'll try to wait till LVS announces
01[15:58] {Threei}  who isn't interested, have a great evening, see you tomorrow
[15:59] {larisa} bye !
[16:01] {dino} later all, thx
[16:01] {ScottM} night all

Feb 02 2011

Some setups are not only profitable but also elegant - almost aesthetic joy to play them. Today's Catch of the Day is of this kind. Let's look in the anatomy of this chart, to make the play clear. First, look at the big yellow area marked CUP. That's, umm, a cup of a Cup and Handle setup. Smaller yellow area marked HANDLE is, unsurprisingly, handle of the same. $32.90 is C&H's rim - resistance to break and trigger long. There is however one element of this setup that is not exactly right - look at the volume configuration. While cup's volume is more or less correct (repeating price configuration by rising toward the rim and drying up toward the bottom), handle's volume is all wrong - last test of the resistance occurs  on lower volume. Thus, instead of playing setup directly we went for fading it - shorting setups failure. Handle's bottom is at 32.70 but using it as a short trigger would give us too wide stop, so we went for aggressive entry at .80, with stop above .90 (you remember the difference between 3 kinds of entries, right?) The rest is history.


Other than that, beautiful day with 5 wins out of 5 calls.

Feb 01 2011

Old gap-n'-stall makes for a boring inactive day after a brief period of morning activity. Positive but nothing beyond "another day in the office."

Session Time: Tue Feb 01 00:00:00 2011
[07:59] {magoo} morning
[08:09] {nemo}  The one day pullback is confirmed...We're off to the races again
[08:18] {magoo} talking heads on cnbc seem to think so
[08:24] {nemo} wow...a hurricane is headed for the Queensland area that has already experienced flooding of biblical proportions.
[08:25] {nemo} I spent some time up there by The Great Barrier Reef...beautiful area
[08:31] {Threei}  OREX... sic transit gloria mundi
[08:31] {magoo} yea..so news
[08:32] {Threei}  FDA'
[08:33] {Threei}  - The FDA noted concern about the cardiovascular safety profile of naltrexone/bupropion when used long-term in a population of overweight and obese subjects. Specifically, the letter stated that "before your application can be approved, you must conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of sufficient size and duration to demonstrate that the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in overweight and obese subjects treated with naltrexone/bupropion does not adversely affect the drug's benefit-risk profile." - "We are surprised and extremely disappointed with the Agency's request in light of the extensive discussion and resulting vote on this topic at the December 7 Advisory Committee meeting," said Michael Narachi, President and CEO of Orexigen. "We plan to work closely with the Agency to gain more information to determine the appropriate next steps regarding the Contrave application."
[08:34] {nemo} Oh jeez...it's a category 4, that's pretty powerful
[08:34] {Threei}  in Australia?
[08:34] {nemo} yeah, whacking Queensland where they've had the floods
[08:38] {nemo} Article says Al Quaeda may be targetting Wall Street Executives....I don't think I feel badly about that

[15:23] {nemo} wonder how much we gap up tomorrow
[15:24] {Threei}  sigh
[15:24] {nemo} ?
[15:24] {Threei}  I hate this gap and stall
[15:24] {Threei}  or gap and crawl
[15:25] {Threei}  jusy how much easier it's going to be when market finally tops out
[15:25] {nemo} not until Egypt spills over or POMO stops
[15:27] {nemo} POMO goes until May, and then he might do another
[15:28] {nemo} although, if next earning season companies fundies start deteriorating, then yeah
[15:31] {Threei}  I don't know if that's this simple
[15:32] {Threei}  there are too many factors
[15:32] {nemo} no, but if egypt blows up, or spreads...oil explodes
[15:32] {nemo} that'll bring things down
[15:32] {nemo} most companies have met or beat expectations
[15:32] {nemo} then you have Bernanke
[15:33] {Threei}  a bit too straghtforward to me... this possibility is so real, why doesn't market price it out mnow
[15:33] {nemo} ain't here yet.
[15:33] {Threei}  since when market prices in what is here
[15:33] {nemo} oil breaking $100 begins to be a threat to the economy
[15:34] {Threei}  it prices in what is going tobe here tomorrow
[15:34] {nemo} every $1 in oil is 870 million a year out of the consumers pocket

[15:45] {Threei}  ?
[15:45] {Threei}  (US) Fed's Hoening: Prefer to move to exit strategy in timely manner
[15:45] {Threei}  - Fed causing imbalances though inflation not a threat in near term
[15:45] {Threei}  - keeping rates too low for too long will hurt the dollar
[15:45] {Threei}  - still opposed to MBS reinvestments when QE2 ends; colleagues may discuss potential for QE3 if data turn disappointing.
[15:45] {Threei}  - Reiterates he would like to see fed funds rates moved to 1.00% and then pause.
[15:45] {Threei}  - REMINDER: Hoenig was the perennial dissenter on the FOMC during 2010, but rotated out of the voting membership this year.
[15:46] {Threei}  Fisher replaced him, right?
[15:46] {RonS} ...thought the guy was non-voting...who cares?
[15:46] {Threei}  {Ben to Fisher} look out or we rotate you out too
[15:47] {Threei}  colleagues may discuss potential for QE3 if data turn disappointing...
[15:47] {Threei}  any doubts it will?
[15:59] {Threei}  ok guys
[15:59] {Threei}  thank you all
[15:59] {Threei}  have a good evening, see you tomorrow
