[10:43] {Will49} is there a punch line?
[10:43] {Will49} Canucks and Aussie all come from same place. Good guys came here....criminals to Aus

[10:48] {ese} for sure
[10:50] {ese} vad can attest to the fact that thats the way i like to drum as well.......except i throw in a few verve na vop da bees....and it sounds great
[10:51] {Will49} and here I thought you were talking about sailing
[10:51] {Beau} vad, on a red day like this so far, do you cut back on number of shares, or stay with usual and ride it out?
[10:52] {ese} lol
[10:52] {ese} not enough volitility B
[10:52] {ese} better to stay out in most cases unless your dying for action and looosing money
[10:54] {Beau} thanks ese
[10:54] {Threei} keeping number of shares the same, it's not a super-volatile day when you need to control risk tighter
[10:54] {Threei} but I do become pickier with trades
[10:55] {Threei} you noticed how we may have 10 calls by this time when things work
[10:55] {ese} dino seems to find stuff B but you need to have nerves of steel to get into them thin stocks
[10:55] {Threei} and merely 3-4 today so far when they don't
[10:55] {Will49} in nemo's case...no nerves at all
[10:55] {nemo} vwap at about .25 on mnst and dropping slowly
[10:56] {ese} opps....just noticed...adtn stopped .03 -.16
[10:57] {Beau} ok vad, ese. wipe my tears and hang in.
[10:57] {nemo} No nerves, yah, right
[10:57] {ese} ya........the whiskey flowing though his veins quels the nervousness nicely
[10:57] {Threei} only until it hits ice blocks
[10:57] {nemo} reminds me: I'm out of Jack Honey
[10:58] {nemo} no, dino has no nerves
[10:58] {Beau} that's my problem- can't drink
[10:58] {nemo} frickin rorschack charts and .60 spreads, wtf!
[10:58] {ese} lol
[10:58] {ese} what the heck is Jack Honey
[10:59] {nemo} Jack Daniels with honey added
[10:59] {Threei} sounds very homosexual
[10:59] {Threei} not that there is anything wrong with it
[10:59] {nemo} Kinda drinks like a cognac or brandy
[10:59] {ese} ahhhhhhh..........shoulda known
[10:59] {nemo} Jack and I hadn't spoken since college
[11:00] {Will49} :)
[11:00] {nemo} I knocked him off the window sill of my dorm room as I was leaning out the window, because I wasn't going to make it to the bathroom

[11:33] {dolores} stopped CAT
[11:34] {dptl} clf .05 break if holds .95
[11:34] {Threei} didn't it hit 1:1?
[11:34] {nemo} things beginning to break down again
[11:36] {nemo} you long dp?
[11:36] {dptl} not yet, if takes 0.5 thinking
[11:36] {nemo} I'm thinking short
[11:36] {Threei} dolores?
[11:36] {dptl} or that
[11:37] {nemo} DE looks short
[11:37] {dolores} yes but I was late
[11:37] {Threei} and JPM...
[11:37] {dolores} entered after
[11:37] {Threei} on a pullback you mean?
[11:38] {dolores} yes
[11:38] {Threei} normally, secondary entry is no recommended if a trade reached 1:1
[11:38] {dolores} ok
[11:38] {nemo} GS relatively strong, mmmmmhhhhhh
[11:38] {Threei} if, let's say setup is .90 break long if holdong .80,
[11:38] {dolores} did not know if all was out on the 1.1 or half
[11:38] {dolores} so pullback entered small
[11:39] {Threei} stock breaks .90, goes to .95 and pullsa back, secondary entry is usually fine
[11:39] {dolores} ok
[11:39] {Threei} but if it hits 1:1 and over (which CAT did at 11:30),
[11:39] {Threei} we trail stop to 1:1 after partialling,
[11:39] {dolores} ok then no pullback entry
[11:40] {dolores} ok
[11:40] {Threei} which also means a trade is invalidated if it pulls back that far
[11:40] {dolores} so were out on CAT at 1.1?
[11:40] {Threei} one that maintains the trend should revisit the initial breeakout
[11:40] {Threei} either out if scalping, or partial and trail
[11:40] {dolores} ok
[11:41] {Threei} but trail to .89 means also that old stop location (.79) is way too out of whack now
[11:41] {dolores} ok I see
[11:46] {dino} kyak sm l .00
[11:51] {Threei} frikin JPM
[11:58] {nemo} GS strong
[11:58] {nemo} we're going up
[11:58] {dptl} gmcr .45 break long?
[12:00] {Threei} I think so
[12:02] {Threei} ket me repeat:
[12:02] {Threei} frikin JPM
[12:02] {nemo} futures selling
[12:11] {nemo} fcx has that look
[12:13] {nemo} shorted some ..65
[12:14] {nemo} small for lunch
[12:15] {nemo} stop is .70ish
[12:24] {dptl} clf .60 long?
[12:29] {Threei} yes, if SPY helps
[12:29] {dino} bidu drop
[12:30] {dolores} last days what's up with BIDU?
[12:33] {ese} hmmmmm maybe should have had a wider S L on ADTN
[12:33] {ese} nice move
[12:34] {dino} bidu vsm l .00
[12:36] {dptl} half out clf
[12:38] {dptl} and out
[12:38] {dptl} gmcr again.45 break may be
[12:39] {dino} bidu go go
[12:39] {dino} no go
[12:42] {ese} dabbling L jpm .39
[12:46] {dino} bidu gap around 107
[12:52] {Threei} (GR) Netherlands Fin Min: Germany must keep its strict stance on Greece as postponing measures will not help the situation there
[12:52] {Threei} you tell them boy
[12:52] {Threei} (ES) Spain said to be discussing technical details of terms for potential sovereign bailout; no formal decision on bailout expected before Sept 12 at the earliest - financial press- Intensity of talks about potential Spain bailout expected to pick up during Eurogroup meetings of finance ministers on Sept 14-15. - Preferred options said to be an EFSF purchase of bonds in primary market with ECB purchasing bonds in the secondary market [this strategy has been mentioned previously]. - Banks in Spain unlikely to receive the liquidity measures before the end of September.
[12:53] {nemo} "potential"
[12:53] {dino} bidu vsm l .00
[12:54] {nemo} I'd say that's a good bet
[12:54] {Will49} sounds like a possible maybe...but then again...blah blah blah
[12:55] {Threei} to me, sounds like very positive confident absolutely coming maybe
[12:55] {Threei} which is not very likely but certain
[12:56] {Threei} which means it will happen for sure with low odds of happening
[12:56] {Will49} lol
[12:56] {Will49} they're succeeding in boring us to death with all the blabber
[12:57] {Threei} do you need to hear my opinion of JPM once again?
[12:57] {Will49} frikken?
[12:57] {Threei} slimy bastage
[12:57] {Will49} ooohhh
[12:58] {Threei} will, ese... we need to change safe house addresses and passwords:
[12:58] {Threei} Victoria News - Victoria police target club drugs
[12:59] {Will49} are hey coming after us?
[12:59] {Will49} they
[12:59] {Threei} dunno but better safe than sorry... I suiggest giving them dp's address
[13:00] {Will49} :D
[13:00] {ese} hmmmmmm of jpm?...........ummmmmmmmmmm...ok go ahead I can take it
[13:00] {nemo} dino, that thing still needs to fill a gap
[13:04] {dino} think you're right, stopped again
[13:04] {Threei} TZA, if pulls back to about 17 I a'll be interested
[13:04] {nemo} I get a kick out of it. We hav $100 oil with a shitty economy, just how high do they think it can go with a "good" economy and not derail it...nobody talks about it
[13:04] {nemo} yeah, spy and iwm weak
[13:04] {nemo} and still got gap fill
[13:05] {nemo} not that it can't bounce, but the higher probability ain't there
[13:06] {Threei} nemo... economy strength is just one factor... if they stop printing dollars like confetti and withdraw their frikin liquidity, oli will shrink despite economy strengthening
[13:06] {Threei} and if they start frikin drilling
[13:06] {nemo} well, there's a crossing point there and then it comes back up
[13:06] {Threei} and if they start adding refineries
[13:06] {nemo} they've been shutting down refineries because of lack of demand
[13:06] {Threei} and if they start moving at least part of the economy to gas
[13:07] {Threei} etc etc
[13:07] {Threei} too many moving parts
[13:07] {nemo} I think they shut down 7 refineries last year
[13:07] {Will49} and if...and if...and if...
[13:07] {nemo} December 21, 2012
[13:07] {Threei} can't narrow it down to 1-2 factors in such complex machine

[13:08] {Threei} s why majority of forecasters were so horribly wrong over last years
[13:08] {nemo} l tna small .86
[13:08] {nemo} if it get's there
[13:08] {Threei} they find one-two things they focus on and think they underdxstand, and build their entire forecast on those
[13:09] {Threei} meanwhile 5-7 other factors they never thought about come in play
[13:10] {Will49} look like economist should refrain from forecasting...just like traders
[13:11] {Threei} they can't
[13:11] {nemo} offering .96 to partial
[13:11] {Threei} they get paid for it
[13:12] {Threei} OK, watching TZA closely
[13:12] {nemo} cool
[13:12] {nemo} stop to .79 not messing with long side today
[13:12] {Threei} sheesh

[13:54] {nemo} I've had one stop so far
[13:54] {Will49} a newby horror show
[13:55] {nemo} but really just that one good trade
[13:55] {Will49} only thing I've learned today is to hate nemo's boasting :)
[13:56] {nemo} kick myself in the ass, was looking at bidu when it was 120.80ish thinking short, but that spread always throws me
[13:56] {Will49} too late to make it up to me
[13:56] {nemo} rest was basically scalps
[13:57] {Will49} it's ok...we still love you
[13:57] {nemo} Wow...you don't know how much that means to me
[13:58] {nemo} ...........NOT!!!!
[13:58] {Will49} :D
[13:58] {nemo} I've got booze and bunny
[13:58] {nemo} and guns
[13:58] {Will49} we have hockey sticks up here
[14:00] {dino} friggin' bidu, big rinse
[14:00] {nemo} yeah, I mentioned that C&H just as it was breaking 112
[14:01] {nemo} lucky me les is sendign me a file
[14:01] {dino} does it get to vwap/
[14:02] {Will49} Les was buttering up Vad on Cara's blog the other day
[14:04] {Threei} I am easy to butter with a bottle of Hennessy Paradis
[14:05] {Will49} :)
[14:05] {nemo} think it depends on indexes dino, but flat to up 114.40 I think
[14:05] {nemo} down indexes, don't know
[14:09] {nemo} hey dino, it could make it back to S3 also
[14:10] {dino} yeah, thats close to vwap
[14:10] {dino} adding sm amt
[14:13] {dino} out bidu .40, +.40
[14:14] {nemo} ofering .06
[14:14] {Threei} add frikin TNA to frikin JPM
[14:15] {Threei} be back in 20 frikin minutes
[14:15] {nemo} I hear Neil Diamond again
[14:16] {dino} gs sm l .12
[14:16] {nemo} unless the market drops out, alot of stocks look headed for their vwaps
[14:17] {dino} charts looking that wau
[14:17] {dino} way
[14:18] {nemo} I wouldn't be surprised if the bids get pulled out from under the market though
[14:18] {nemo} this market has me looking over my shoulder
[14:19] {Will49} gives a noob hope that's it just not me
[14:19] {nemo} Will 10k hours in front of the monitor
[14:20] {nemo} gs breaking trend
[14:20] {nemo} stop under .95
[14:20] {Will49} yea...I'll be dead before I can get 10K hrs in
[14:20] {nemo} oh, maybe me too
[14:21] {nemo} imo then, best thing to do is to learn chart reading
[14:22] {nemo} understand support and resistance on daily 15 minute 5 and 1
[14:22] {nemo} if you can use pivot points too that will give you understanding of geography
[14:22] {Will49} tks...god advice
[14:22] {nemo} then understanding psychology of candlesticks and chart formations
[14:23] {nemo} then interrelationships between bonds the financials IWM SPY and currency
[14:24] {nemo} I have this up on one monitor at all times: http://www.freestockcharts.com?emailChartID=9cba99e7-d69d-422b-88eb-c1eec5044d38
[14:24] {Will49} does the 15 min chart tip you off to direction?
[14:24] {nemo} well larger time frames give you the general sense. forest for the trees kind of thing
[14:25] {nemo} chart formations are chart formations on any time frame
[14:25] {nemo} if it looks long on 15 minute look for long entries
[14:25] {nemo} on lower time frames
[14:25] {nemo} imo
[14:25] {nemo} vad's 110 is good.
[14:26] {dino} will, that freestockcharts is a great site. i use it on one system all day long
[14:26] {nemo} Bulkowski's website has fantastic descriptions of chart formations
[14:26] {nemo} and there is a ton of information on candlesticks out there now
[14:26] {nemo} It is amazing how much info is on the web over the last 5 years
[14:27] {nemo} Yeah, Freestockcharts gives you everything you need, then you have LASER for your entries and LII
[14:29] {Will49} really appreciate your input on this. Both you guys add a tremendous value to Vad's roomm
[14:29] {nemo} Yeah, but my input brings great psychological cost ;-)
[14:29] {Will49} 'll pay....anyday
[14:30] {nemo} Freestockcharts you set up your own account and you can mark up the charts and it will save the data for you
[14:30] {nemo} mmmhhhh....cl-f closed down .97
[14:31] {Will49} Been using Stockcharts for a couple of years now for swing trading. Does Freestockcharts do Canadian markets?
[14:31] {nemo} I think they do actually
[14:32] {dino} dk will, i trade us only
[14:32] {nemo} but in here we just trade US I think, so it will help you
[14:32] {nemo} yep has Canadian Stocks and Indexes
[14:33] {Will49} understand. Have a Cdn account and play with it from time to time
[14:33] {Will49} Great...I'll change to Freestockcharts so I can be like my heroes
[14:33] {nemo} Hey Dino, bidu looking itchy
[14:34] {nemo} oh shit,
[14:34] {nemo} I hate that
[14:34] {Will49} you hate bidu?
[14:34] {dino} wants vwap imo, but pullbacks are huge
[14:35] {nemo} Yeah, I can't help but feel there's a rug pull coming before the last move
[14:35] {dino} vsm l .00 wide
[14:35] {nemo} but...not stopped out of GS quite yet
[14:36] {nemo} we couldn't sell below Monthly R1 on spy
[14:36] {dino} nor i
[14:36] {nemo} that .40 level major retrace on bidu
[14:38] {nemo} Vad still banging his head on the pavement?
[14:38] {Threei} no, done
[14:38] {Threei} this hole will take a month for municipality to fill
[14:38] {nemo} Yeah, feel for ya, somedays bunny gives me a wide berth
[14:39] {Threei} heck, first losing day in 2 weeks
[14:39] {nemo} I think it scares her when she sees me stick the shotgun in my mouth
[14:39] {Threei} not losing a nay sleep over it
[14:39] {dino} i usually just throw something
[14:39] {Threei} but still annoying while in the process :)
[14:39] {nemo} speaking of Magoo out of jail yet?
[14:40] {Threei} exchanged e-mails just today
[14:40] {Threei} they postponed his parole till Nov hearing
[14:40] {dino} haven't heard from him in awhile
[14:40] {nemo} told him to leave the farm animals alone
[14:41] {nemo} mmmhhh might be double top on GS here
[14:41] {nemo} don't like those candles
[14:47] {dino} out bidu .44, +.44
[14:47] {nemo} well, iwm recaptured vwap and spy almost there, we're also getting into short covering time
[14:50] {nemo} played safe on BIDU, huh?
[14:51] {dino} out gs flat, entry sucked
[14:51] {nemo} yeah I'm out here too
[14:51] {nemo} that was my last partial anyway
[14:51] {dino} yeah, eod, figured hit and run
[14:52] {Will49} Tks nemo
[14:52] {Will49} and tks dino
[14:52] {nemo} will, what the pivot points and vwap give you are geographical points of reference where price might go
[14:52] {Will49} on my list
[14:53] {Threei} Long Setup: TNA .35 break
[14:53] {Threei} hl of course
[14:53] {nemo} There are also probabilities about reaching the different levels, so as you get farther away from the pivot points the likelihood of reversal increases
[14:53] {Threei} If holds .25
[14:54] {Threei} target .70
[14:54] {dino} yw will
[14:54] {nemo} got the lube on the desk Vad?
[14:55] {nemo} As price trades higher than R1 or lower and S1 (either hit with 70% frequency), the probability of continuation begins to decline.
[14:55] {nemo} The chance of pricing equaling or exceeding R2 or S2 declines by 20% from the prior level to 50%.
[14:55] {nemo} The chance of price equaling or exceeding R3 or S3 declines by 17% from the prior level and gives you a 67% chance of reversal.
[14:55] {nemo} I’ve added an R4 and S4 level which indicates a 90% chance of reversion.
[14:56] {Will49} tks nemo...excellent explanation
[14:57] {Threei} sigh
[14:57] {dptl} what the heck tna....
[14:57] {Threei} shrug
[14:57] {Threei} not my day
[14:57] {Will49} what's new eh vad?
[14:57] {nemo} See, I plot multi-time frame pivot levels. The low in the SPY today was within .01 of the Monthly R1, which coincided with an intermediary pivot level on spy and IWM
[14:58] {nemo} you see chart/candle formations at those confluences you trade accordingly
[14:58] {nemo} no, I missed a perfect setpu on the break of .00 on tna
[14:58] {nemo} wich broke above S2, came back and tested it as support and headed north
[15:02] {nemo} BIDU might go for VWAP
[15:05] {dino} here it comes
[15:05] {nemo} it's like cheese to a mouse
[15:06] {nemo} or bacon to Vad
[15:06] {nemo} See Will, VWAP on BIDU
[15:06] {Threei} sprikled generously with Hennessy Paradis
[15:07] {nemo} not always, but price tends to move to it
[15:07] {nemo} same with the pivot levels
[15:07] {Will49} yes...i see
[15:07] {nemo} I just think of it as a map so you know where you stand
[15:08] {Will49} invaluable
[15:08] {nemo} now what's interesting about that with bidu, is vwap is aslo right about at S3
[15:08] {nemo} which creates two different levels two different types of traders will be watching
[15:09] {nemo} which means there's a higher probability they'll be looking for price to move there.
[15:10] {Will49} yea...good stuff
[15:10] {nemo} So when price support and resistance coincides with pivot levels and fib levels you have multiple styles of traders looking at the same price point...becomes somewhat self fulfilling
[15:12] {nemo} now go figure out why BIDU bottomed where it did
[15:13] {Will49} ?
[15:13] {nemo} why did BIDU bottom at that price?
[15:13] {nemo} what stopped it there
[15:14] {dolores} that TNA now
[15:14] {Will49} support back at 14:40 ?
[15:15] {nemo} closing price on july 20th
[15:16] {Will49} yea..i see now then a gap up
[15:16] {nemo} bidu gapped down the next day, and then gapped above it the following day
[15:16] {nemo} if the downtrend continues it will test below the 108 level
[15:17] {dino} thats what i expected the 107.50 area.
[15:18] {nemo} yeah, and by strict technical analysis, where it stopped should not be a level, but I've found previously surpassed levels can be important in the future
[15:18] {dolores} QIHU search competiton
[15:19] {nemo} Had the market kept going down, it likely would have also, look at when IWM and SPY bottomed in conjunction with BIDU?
[15:19] {Will49} tks for that extra lesson nemo
[15:20] {Will49} I've copied the last 20 min of chat and will go back over it with stockcharts and internalize it
[15:20] {nemo} http://twitpic.com/amwhze
[15:20] {Will49} actually the last hour
[15:20] {nemo} Vad puts it in the log every day
[15:21] {Will49} yea..forgot
[15:22] {Threei} (ES) France President Hollande: Prepared to go further to aid Spain; French and German officials to meet again at the end of September
[15:22] {nemo} now looks like bidu might be going for price resistance at the 116.40 area
[15:22] {dino} now nemo, at this bidu s3, 90% chance of getting to s2?
[15:22] {Threei} (US) Presidential Candidate Romney: QE2 was 'not terribly' effective; would not reappoint Bernanke and does not support a QE3 program - Fox news interview
[15:22] {Threei} - Notes that he has not thought of any one particular person to replace Bernanke as chairman; but would seek to nominate a chairman that expressed his same views.
[15:23] {dino} taking the gloves off
[15:23] {nemo} no, it only reaches s3 33% of the time
[15:23] {nemo} I don't think it gets to S2
[15:23] {ese} wow
[15:23] {nemo} That went below S4 today which only happens 10% of the time
[15:23] {Threei} interesting tactics... put one of the most powerful figures on notice that if you win you will cull him
[15:24] {dino} ballsy move
[15:24] {ese} i'll say
[15:24] {dino} but then again, as private equity, thats what they get paid to do
[15:24] {nemo} basically dino, as you move farther away from the pivot the likelihood of reversion increases
[15:24] {ese} read "get your flippin act together"
[15:24] {dino} understood nemo
[15:25] {Threei} rather "I won't support infinite money printing"
[15:25] {dino} think what you like, but team r&r really might change the way things get done in washington, provided they win
[15:25] {nemo} Yeah, how long can the concept of value of money exist with infinite money printing and debt
[15:26] {Threei} depending on how congress shapes up dino...
[15:26] {Threei} may leave them powerless or may give them open mandate
[15:26] {nemo} wow, looking at bidu that is strong buying
[15:27] {nemo} Sorry to disagree, presidents are figureheads
[15:27] {dino} yeah 3i, but they are putting it out there
[15:28] {dino} where the other side is tax spend print repeat
[15:28] {Threei} in most cases nemo, yes... but now and then one that doesn't fit in a frame comes around
[15:28] {dino} think ronald reagan
[15:28] {Threei} who knows... America could really use one of those right now
[15:28] {Threei} right
[15:29] {nemo} yeah, but Reagan couldn't control spending either
[15:30] {nemo} look, Romney was my governor...he didn't do anything the legislature didn't want him to do
[15:30] {dino} no, spending continued, but revenues increased dramatically. supply side works, just have to control spending
[15:30] {nemo} well, I'm going to disagree again
[15:30] {nemo} Energy is going to be a big deal this time around like it wasn't during Reagan's time
[15:30] {dino} fact is taxes lowered revenues increased
[15:31] {nemo} Yeah, but you had much more domestic industry back then that as perot said "that giant sucking sound" vacuumed out of the coutnry
[15:32] {dino} there will always be a "but', but you must not give up. same old same old is failure
[15:32] {nemo} I understand, what he's saying isn't going to work either
[15:32] {dino} and simply look to europe. if we continue on this way, we will face same issues
[15:33] {nemo} That's where we are going..Tocqueville
[15:33] {Threei} nemo... the way I see it (and I suspect dino does too),
[15:33] {Threei} one side has a program that is going to kill us
[15:33] {dino} you may be surprised at the power of keeping more of your earned income vs obama wanting to take more of it
[15:33] {Threei} whether they are effective or not is different aspect, but so far they are
[15:34] {nemo} Dino, I understand, but they're fighting the last war
[15:34] {Threei} another side has program that, providing it's implemented, can save us
[15:34] {Threei} they masy not be effective at implementing it,
[15:34] {dino} many i talk to fear obama re-election. these are business owners. they will simply cut back even more
[15:34] {Threei} but do you have an argument for electing firtst side that is not going to even try?? :)
[15:35] {Threei} same heree dino
[15:35] {dino} as for the lst war, i suspect with the right changes we live to see another
[15:35] {nemo} Absolutely not, I'm just setting expectations
[15:35] {Threei} not that I am very optimistic either
[15:36] {dino} i guess my point nemo, is we must try something different no matter what. you cajnnot quit
[15:36] {Threei} but heck... what ekse is there but do what you think is right
[15:36] {Will49} old saying...that America gets the government it deserves...which is?
[15:37] {nemo} Or as Churchill said, the best argument against Democracy is a 5 minute conversation with the average voter
[15:37] {Threei} hehe
[15:37] {dino} churchill also said, "when going through hell, keep going"
[15:37] {Will49} I guess it turns on what you mean by "deserves"
[15:38] {Will49} In one sense US deserves better than what they have now
[15:38] {dino} imo, nobody deserves anything, you earn it
[15:38] {nemo} Deservin' ain't got nothin' to do with it..
[15:39] {Will49} figure of speech
[15:39] {dino} understood
[15:39] {nemo} Clint
[15:39] {dino} just hate that word
[15:40] {nemo} I live in Massachusetts, I hear it ALL the time
[15:40] {nemo} then of course, "I've got my rights!"
[15:40] {dino} yes, it is a rather liberal word
[15:40] {Threei} come on dino, it doesn't desrve your hate {G}
[15:40] {nemo} minus of course, the responsibilities that come with those rights
[15:41] {RonS} de serve....Pete Sampras...
[15:41] {nemo} wow, where you been?
[15:41] {Will49} :)
[15:41] {nemo} bull flag bidu?
