Apr 25 2014

Somewhat difficult day as action was too jerky to exploit right even though we had correct general idea on the direction. A few decent trades kept the day afloat so ended just a tad negative.

[10:05] {dino} calling obummer's bluff
01[10:05] {@Threei}  look how scenario we outlined plays out, to the letter:
01[10:06] {@Threei}  he original plan for Sloviansk today was to recapture the town from separatists, including all government buildings they had taken over, a senior security official told the Kyiv Post. The operation, however, has been halted for the moment as the government is reformulating the plan based on their latest intelligence from the eastern border, the official said.
[10:06] {dino} i saw in todays paper syria renewed gas attacks on its people
01[10:06] {@Threei}  According to Ukrainian intelligence, the risk of Russian troops crossing the border has increased dramatically, according to a senior security official in the government.
01[10:06] {@Threei}  Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on April 24 that the violence stemming from Ukraine's anti-terror operation in eastern Ukraine has prompted Russia to launch military drills in western Russia.
01[10:07] {@Threei}  "If this military machine is not stopped today, it will lead to a large number of dead and wounded," he continued.

01[10:12] {@Threei}  not Al Gore's?
[10:12] {dino} lol putin drinking early this am?
01[10:14] {@Threei}  The Kremlin has been anxious to exert greater control over the Internet, which opposition activists — barred from national television — have used to promote their ideas and organize protests.
01[10:14] {@Threei}  Russia's parliament this week passed a law requiring social media websites to keep their servers in Russia and save all information about their users for at least half a year. Also, businessmen close to Putin now control Russia's leading social media network, VKontakte.
01[10:14] {@Threei}  Speaking Thursday at a media forum in St. Petersburg, Putin said that the Internet originally was a "CIA project" and "is still developing as such."

[14:15] {dino} fb hl l .15
01[14:15] {@Threei}  had alert prepared for 61 break, dino :)
01[14:15] {@Threei}  happened so fast that I didn't even bother to send it
[14:16] {dino} was watching it there too, phone rang, distracted
[14:16] {dino} good reports are getting killed
[14:27] {dptl} mu  .08 break short
[14:28] {nathan} very nice FB dino!!!
[14:29] {nathan} Vad you should include it in the manual
[14:30] {nathan} :-)
[14:31] {dino} ty
[14:37] {dptl} stoped yhoo
[14:39] {dptl} stopped mu
[14:39] {_troub} Vad, have time for a question on entry, exit?
01[14:40] {@Threei}  sure
[14:41] {_troub} thanks, to you and all.  do you usually use last price or ask and bid to enter/exit?  And use limit or stop limit to enter?
[14:42] {_troub} Mkt to exit?
01[14:42] {@Threei}  trigger in our setups is a break of a certain level,
01[14:42] {@Threei}  so when a call is "}10 break" entry signal is offer lifting to .11, and prints going off at .11
01[14:42] {@Threei}  That constitutes a break.
01[14:43] {@Threei}  Entry order is limit, a cent or two above the trigger
01[14:43] {@Threei}  so you give some room but not "get me in at any price"
[14:43] {dino} never market
[14:43] {nathan} never
01[14:44] {@Threei}  So, a call "break of .10" would result in limit order to buy at .12, submitted at the moment when offer moves to ,11 and print occures at that price.
01[14:45] {@Threei}  Such order will swipe everything there is at .11 and .12, but won't get you an uncotrollable higher price
01[14:45] {@Threei}  and will turn into a bid which might still get filled
01[14:45] {@Threei}  Exit, I prefer to lay it out in advance
01[14:46] {@Threei}  for ionstance , half sell at .20
01[14:46] {@Threei}  so if they take me out, I get ECN rebate
01[14:46] {@Threei}  which cuts down trading cost significantly
01[14:48] {@Threei}  does it answer your question?
[14:49] {_troub} yes it answers fully.  
01[14:49] {@Threei}  :)
[14:49] {_troub} appreciate it
[14:54] {Les} VXX interesting. a little late here
[14:54] {Les} if IWM let's go of this support level

01[10:58] {@Threei}  so Ron, a few years ago I built myself a computer, and faced that chopice between intel and amd... did some digging around,
01[10:59] {@Threei}  the conclusion I came to was, it's a religious war
[10:59] {nemo} intel systems faster, but the price/performance falls to AMD usually
01[10:59] {@Threei}  canon vs nikon among photographers
[11:00] {nemo} http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html
01[11:00] {@Threei}  decided on amd eventuallky, works flawlessly
01[11:01] {@Threei}  for extreme gamers there might be a difference
[11:02] {nemo} you got intel, yes?
01[11:02] {@Threei}  [11:00] {@Threei} decided on amd eventually
[11:02] {nemo} ahhh
[11:03] {nemo} yeah, intel at highest end better for extreme gamers...AMD was always cool for the overclockers, but Intel has become more accessible in that area also

[13:53] {nathan} i "thought" it was exhausted, i "saw" double top

01[14:31] {@Threei}  frikin IWM
01[14:38] {@Threei}  that's what it was supposed to do last time around
01[15:00] {@Threei}  gotta wait for deeper pullbacks on it it seems
01[15:04] {@Threei}  (RU) US State Dept indicates it could consider placing sanctions on Russia President Putin as well as other Russia Govt officials - press- Would impose sanctions on many other issues before imposing sanctions on Putin himself
01[15:04] {@Threei}  that would be a badge of honor
01[15:05] {@Threei}  his popularity is at 80%, would shoot to 90
[15:05] {thomcbell} putin probably has billions stocked away
[15:05] {thomcbell} shocking amounts
01[15:06] {@Threei}  "probably??" :)
01[15:06] {@Threei}  latest estimation, 30
[15:06] {thomcbell} make arafat and mubarak look like shmos
01[15:07] {@Threei}  better yet - as long as he is in power, he doesn't need any
[15:07] {RonS} didn't he have to split it in the divorce?  :)
01[15:07] {@Threei}  lol
[15:07] {RonS} lol
01[15:09] {@Threei}  In a locker-room humor style, in this annual broadcasting marathon, fielded dozens of generally uncritical questions from citizen, Putin told viewers about the need to get his ex-wife remarried before he can think about getting himself a new wife

01[15:33] {@Threei}  Russia claims Ukraine is ‘grossly breaching’ agreement, hints at military intervention
01[15:33] {@Threei}  hints?
01[15:33] {@Threei}  lol
01[15:34] {@Threei}  I guess anyuthing short of tanks rolling is a "hint"
01[15:34] {@Threei}  for a long time I was wondering about one thing...
01[15:35] {@Threei}  how could Germany residents greet Hitler's delusional speeches with enthusiam
01[15:36] {@Threei}  Now observing what happens in Russia, for the first time in my life I understand how it happens
01[15:37] {@Threei}  until you see it for yourself, you've no idea how horrifying mass hysteria is
01[15:38] {@Threei}  I should add, patriotic mass hysteria
01[15:40] {@Threei}  1/4 more out
01[15:41] {@Threei}  stop .99
[15:43] {RonS} ...was pulling this up for Putin but really sounds like the O:  If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress
[15:43] {RonS} dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
[15:43] {nemo} hitler
[15:43] {nemo} or Goebbels
[15:43] {RonS} Goebbles

01[15:45] {@Threei}  actually, come to think of it, Ron... I can name very few state rulers to whome this wouldn't apply :)
[15:45] {nemo} it goes back to the Greeks
01[15:46] {@Threei}  I would probably name Harper, but ese would take a severe umbrage
[15:46] {RonS} ya, I was thinking the early Popes too...
[15:46] {RonS} ...maybe all of them...
[15:47] {cosmo} i was thinking of maybe 'failed leaders'
[15:47] {cosmo} they be into truth
[15:47] {nemo} http://goo.gl/f40dEm
01[15:47] {@Threei}  maybe Honduras... because no one cares what they say
[15:47] {RonS} lol
[15:48] {cosmo} or that
01[15:48] {@Threei}  and because the name of the country sounds like something you shouldn't scratch so it doesn't itch
[15:48] {RonS} tourism campaign:  Honduras...home of the truth
01[15:48] {@Threei}  rofl
[15:49] {cosmo} Iceland?
01[15:49] {@Threei}  unless they claim the title of the warmest place on Earth, maybe
[15:50] {RonS} nah Iceland...home of hot blondes, and hotter water
01[15:50] {@Threei}  sounds true enough
[15:50] {cosmo} there's always a hitch
[15:51] {RonS} of course this:  Russia...home of hot blondes that can get you into hot water
