Nov 24 2014

It's a rare case that opening play lasts this long, but 1:4 is 1:4. Patience is a virtue. 

(Chart courtesy of a broker)

With a few more trades here and there, polished by a final run to almost 1:3 target on IWM, decent day despite slowness of a short week.

[15:40] {__chasj} need nick names to coordinate
01[15:41] {@Threei}  when we run low on vidka, we found out that we are practically locked behind the table, no way to go around
01[15:41] {@Threei}  so, he just climbed onto the table and stepped over everything and everyone,
01[15:41] {@Threei}  went to the bar counter,
01[15:42] {@Threei}  realized that he doesn't want to do that again,
[15:42] {nemo} I'm convalescing
01[15:42] {@Threei}  so he grabbed a few full glasses of vodka, neat
[15:42] {__chasj} come on expose yourselves lol
[15:42] {dptl} lol
01[15:42] {@Threei}  and here is the kicker:

[15:48] {__chasj} i had blk hair , dyed it grey HAHA
[15:49] {Jenh} 3i, did you add the black background to the peacock pic?
[15:49] {nemo} My hair was really curly when I was younger, all I could do was grow an afro...so the gray was straighter, thought I'd see what would happen.
01[15:49] {@Threei}  it was pitch black, I darkened it just a tad
[15:49] {nemo} Got to my shoulders and said, "o.k. did that."

US equity markets racked up their fifth consecutive week of gains and the S&P500 closed out Friday at another all-time high. Meanwhile the ECB launched its ABS program as Europe hovers at the very edge of full-blown deflation, Japan entered technical recession as it reported its second consecutive quarter of economic contraction, and the PBoC sprung a surprise rate cut on Friday to reassure China about its own economic problems. Preliminary November European PMI data was not encouraging, while the flash November HSBC China PMI data was just at the edge of contraction. Meanwhile in the US, October housing data was excellent, weekly jobless claims fell to their lowest level since 2000, and the Philly Fed business outlook index rocketed to its highest reading since 1993. For the week, the DJIA rose 1%, the S&P500 added 1.2% and the Nasdaq gained 0.5%.

The unexpected contraction in Japan's preliminary Q3 GDP data (-1.6% y/y, -0.4% q/q) drove the Nikkei down 3% on Monday and gave the excuse Japanese PM Abe needed to delay the planned sales tax hike. Abe said he would call early elections to cement his "three arrows" economic reform program. The yen continues to be a one-way ride, with USD/JPY rising from 115.5 to 119, another seven-year low for the yen.

China's PBoC responded to recent soft economic data by cutting its benchmark lending and deposit rates by 40 basis points and 25 basis points, respectively. Meanwhile, the deposit rate ceiling was increased to 1.2x the benchmark deposit rate. In a note, Goldman Sachs said while the move itself is unlikely to have much of an impact on the economy, it sends a very clear signal that Beijing is willing to loosen its policy stance to support the economy and its willingness to use a broad spectrum of policy tools, much as it did earlier in 2014.

The minutes from the Oct 28-29th FOMC meeting showed that members are looking ahead to next year, continuing discussions about how exit strategy should be communicated. Only one member advocated dropping the key "considerable time" clause on forward guidance, but many said that it would be helpful if the Fed would soon clarify its approach to the pace of interest rate hikes. The committee observed that problems in overseas economies presented only a "limited" impact on the US recovery. The need to watch inflation was highlighted, and the notes observed that market-based measures of inflation had declined somewhat, but survey-based measures of longer-term inflation expectations had remained stable.

On Monday Draghi provided his quarterly update to the EU Parliament, and apart from familiar monetary policy talking points he offered heavy suggestions that sovereign bond buying by the ECB was still in the realm of possibility. Later in the week, Draghi recalled his landmark "whatever it takes" moment by saying the ECB will "do what we must to raise inflation and inflation expectations as fast as possible." Draghi said he fears low inflation could percolate through the economy and worsen the economic situation. His comments were taken as a strong signal that the ECB will forge ahead with quantitative easing in the months ahead. EUR/USD tanked late in the week, testing 1.2400 after the second Draghi speech and the ECB officially launched it ABS assets purchase program.

WTI crude pivoted around $75 this week before breaking out above $77 on Friday while Brent rose back above $81, aided by the implications of the PBoC rate cut. The OPEC guessing game of cut or no cut continued all week, with both analysts and OPEC nations seemingly split on the prospects for lowered quotas at the organization's meeting in Vienna on November 27th. Smaller non-Arab members led by Venezuela want to cut production and halt the slide in prices, while Persian Gulf members want steady policy. Non-OPEC member Russia is deeply distressed by lower oil prices and there was talk that the Russians might preemptively cut production to bolster prices.

Gold and EUR/CHF were whipped around by polls out ahead of Switzerland's "Save Our Gold" referendum, scheduled for November 30th. In recent weeks, polls had suggested more support in favor of the measure than against it, however two polls out this week suggested the no vote at well above 50%. Spot gold traded as low as $1,170 after the release of the new polls, but rebounded late in the week on the Chinese interest rate cuts. EUR/CHF had been testing 1.2010 all week, but backed off after the polls and talk of additional SNB intervention to defend the 1.2000 floor.

President Obama unveiled a sweeping executive order on immigration reform, including measures to let five million undocumented aliens remain in the country, to increase border security, and to provide more visas for high skilled foreign workers. The directive does not provide a pathway to citizenship. The Republicans widely condemned the move.

Retailers reported more third-quarter results this week, with nearly all citing a very highly competitive environment that is crimping margins. Big box retailer Target delivered an upside surprise, although y/y growth in profits and revenues was pretty anemic. BestBuy's margins, profits and revenue all saw healthy growth, while US comps were good and online comps were strong. Gap Inc met expectations but cut its FY guidance, while same store sales were negative. L Brands had a decent quarter with good comp sales gains.

Two gigantic deals took markets by storm on Monday. After a week of rumors, Actavis reached a deal to acquire Allergan for $219/share in cash and stock, in a total deal valued around $66B. Allergan's hostile suitor Valeant said it could not justify matching the price, giving up the fight. Baker Hughes agreed to be acquired by Halliburton in a cash-and-stock valued at around $34.6 billion.


Nov 21 2014

Very nice day finishing very nice week. It was unusually slow trading right of the bat, as even the first trade took about 30 minutes to resolve - normally opening plays work much faster. Jokes helped wait out slow period, then things picked up, and great JPM short and IWM  reversal catch right at the bottom made it a solid profitable day.

[13:07] {nemo} moved my stop down to .53
01[13:08] {@Threei}  I distinctly remember her murmuring "hell, even cyanide doesn't work on him"
[13:08] {nemo} silver bullets and a stake
[13:08] {nemo} spy likely to 206.10 now
[13:08] {nemo} no guarantees of course
[13:09] {nemo} needs to stay under .50
[13:09] {nemo} that was quite a volume spike right there
[13:09] {jfjf64} drink nemo drink
[13:10] {nemo} waaaaaaaaaay ahead of ya' jf
[13:12] {nemo} this is weekly pivot on IWM
[13:13] {_Jenh} nemo, how did you figure out 206.10?
[13:13] {nemo} oh boy, if spy and iwm drop these hammers
[13:13] {nemo} proprietary jen, if I tell you....
[13:13] {_Jenh} Bid share or other day
[13:13] {nemo} nope
[13:13] {nemo} what, u think I'm easy?
[13:14] {nemo} I might be a slut, but...
[13:14] {nemo} I have standards
[13:14] {_Jenh} if you tell me you have to kill me?
[13:14] {_Jenh} ok, i'll just take it as magical knowledge
[13:14] {nemo} I didn't say that
[13:14] {nemo} u have no idea
[13:15] {_Jenh} so this is warlock schooling showing through with u?
[13:15] {nemo} I prefer "shaman" or "exorcist"
01[13:15] {@Threei}  1:4
[13:15] {_Jenh} ic
01[13:16] {@Threei}  how come I was never schooled in shamanism? :(
[13:16] {nemo} you were from Ukraine, not Tungusia
[13:16] {_Jenh} us muggles are just not lucky
01[13:16] {@Threei}  I smell discrimination
[13:17] {RonS} fl heavy pedi...
[13:17] {cosmo} the Carpathians come to mind for shamans
[13:17] {nemo} oh jeez, Ron's hitting the grape juice again
[13:18] {nemo} because your information is bad cosmo
[13:18] {nemo} Carpathians a bunch of pagans
[13:18] {cosmo} checking...
[13:18] {nemo} they confused Qi vampires with blood suckers
[13:18] {RonS} arun tripped
[13:19] {cosmo} nope, its them all right
[13:19] {nemo} minor leagues cosmo
[13:19] {cosmo} today maybe
[13:19] {nemo} stop to .46
[13:20] {RonS} twitter hacked?  recieved nothing here for hours...lol...maybe they banned me
01[13:20] {@Threei}  looks ok
[13:21] {nemo} wow, except for the first 10 minutes in this JPM short, it's been better than _______
[13:22] {RonS} wow...China's new climate plan requires 1,000 new nuclear reactors
[13:24] {nemo} won't need streetlights, everything will glow in the dark
[13:24] {nemo} my mind scares me
[13:26] {nemo} volume spikes spy
[13:27] {nemo} o.k spy may bounce here, but .35 overhead resistance
[13:27] {nemo} keeping jpm stop at .46 for now
[13:27] {nemo} jpm volume spike
[13:28] {nemo} vodka break....
[13:28] {jfjf64} crazy s o b
[13:28] {nemo} you talkin' about my mother?
[13:29] {nemo} she died in 2001
[13:29] {jfjf64} never just u
[13:30] {nemo} always would nail ese with that one
[13:30] {nemo} stop to .42
[13:31] {nemo} o.k they'll try to jack the whole number in SPY j
[13:31] {nemo} Jen...
[13:31] {_Jenh} yes
[13:31] {nemo} Jen...
[13:31] {_Jenh} what's up?
[13:31] {nemo} 206.10 is the two day VWAP, algo's like that
[13:31] {_Jenh} ahhhh, thank you
[13:32] {_Jenh} i have neither vwap or algo so figured it had to be magic
[13:32] {nemo} .25 now overhead resistance on spy
[13:33] {_Jenh} thanks
[13:33] {nemo} np...send check or money order
[13:34] {_Jenh} to where?
[13:34] {nemo} we're back to the "If I tell u..." scenario
[13:34] {_Jenh} sorcery, warlock, or which school
[13:34] {_Jenh} :)
[13:34] {nemo} shaman/exorcist
[13:35] {_Jenh} can't remember the harry potter place and tried to wiki
[13:35] {_Jenh} that's right, i forgot "shaman/exorcist"
[13:35] {nemo} ohhhh Puleeeeeeeese!
[13:35] {_Jenh} i have to keep my magical people people straight
01[13:35] {@Threei}  they are
01[13:36] {@Threei}  ?
[13:36] {nemo} we're "forward" never "straight"
01[13:36] {@Threei}  not thast there is anything wrong with that
[13:37] {nemo} what can I say, I luv Bunny....
[13:37] {nemo} see how SPY having problems with .25 so far
[13:37] {nemo} get's through that next resistance .47 and dropping
[13:38] {_Jenh} yes, i saw that. thanks!
[13:38] {nemo} JPM low is R1
[13:40] {nemo} itneresting, IWM likely to retest 117, and IWM .40ish, JPM not going with so far
[13:41] {nemo} ahhh...IWM 117 and SPY .40ish
[13:41] {nemo} I'm not as think, as you drunk I am
[13:45] {dino} fl sm l .76
[13:46] {nemo} nobody buying JPM in this upmove so far
[13:47] {nemo} they're trying though
[13:47] {jfjf64} keep driving nemo
[13:47] {jfjf64} ya doing great
[13:47] {nemo} not in my condition
[13:48] {jfjf64} comon
[13:48] {jfjf64} ya really drinkin already
[13:48] {nemo} real simple, stop is .42
[13:48] {nemo} arguably first resistance is .38, but key is what spy does @.44
[13:49] {nemo} imo, that is
[13:50] {nemo} btw...weak side on algo is weakening, so likely hood of indexes going up is growing
[13:50] {nemo} see volume in JPM, that makes this level important
[13:50] {nemo} imo, that is
[13:51] {jfjf64} imo
[13:51] {jfjf64} ofcourse
[13:53] {nemo} SPY holds .44 I should get swtopped out
[13:55] {nemo} stopped
[13:56] {nemo} just a little too tight
[13:57] {jfjf64} what ever ya like
[13:58] {nemo} still ended up better tha 1:3
[13:58] {nemo} just slow
[13:59] {jfjf64} great hearing ya narrate trade

Nov 20 2014

Classic breakout setup, serving as aggressive entry for day high break. That in turn led to an explosive move 

(chart courtesy of broker)

The day continued in the most pleasant way, offering trade after trade adding to the early profits. TWTR served as our ATM of the day, although some other added too.

01[12:22] {@Threei}  The Philly Fed's manufacturing outlook crushed expectations and delivered the highest headline figure since December 1993. Expectations of 18.5 were down slightly from last month's 20.7 reading. The new orders index rose 18 points to 35.7. Analysts note that the striking numbers runs counter to other surveys this month, with both the Empire State manufacturing report and flash PMI reports coming in mixed. Others note the series has had spikes followed by big revisions in the past.
[12:22] {nemo} oh jeez, Pats signed LeGarrette Blount
01[12:23] {@Threei}  The October existing home sales pushed out to a one-year high of 5.26 million units, while the supply of homes on the market fell to a seven-month low of 5.1 months equivalent.
01[12:23] {@Threei}  this last one was btw one of the reasons behind our GLD short trade
01[12:24] {@Threei}  by all other numbers in this venue I expected this one to be good, and GLD works as a fade to SPY these days
01[12:24] {@Threei}  so shorting it near its low right in front of the housing numbers made perfect sense to me

01[09:25] {@Threei}  monitors connect via USB these days?
01[09:25] {@Threei}  wow, I am way behind
[09:26] {RonS} ugaz big move...
[09:26] {nemo} well, main monitors shouldn't...they should be dvi or hdmi
[09:27] {Jenh} Mine are through hdmi now with thunderbolt, which is like USB
[09:27] {Jenh} it's a little attachment
[09:28] {nemo} I suggest you run your main screens through hdmi...all new computers usually allow for 2 monitors
[09:28] {Jenh} really? ok thanks.

01[12:14] {@Threei}  Equity indices and the 10-year have both been seeing losses this morning ahead of the release of the October FOMC meeting minutes. The 10-year UST yield is up 3.5 bps to 2.35%. Bets are off as traders wait for clarity on the changes made to the Fed's statement last month.
01[12:14] {@Threei}  Data continues to show that the US housing market is looking pretty healthy. The October housing starts and building permit totals climbed to a six-year high. Single-family home starts last month hit the best pace in nearly a year at 696K
01[12:14] {@Threei}  This afternoon the Fed will release its minutes from the October meeting, during which the FOMC's policy statement underwent notable changes. Observers will be looking for color on the debates that shaped the changes, including the retention of the infamous "considerable time" clause and the replacement of "significant underutilization of labor resources" with a line saying that labor market slack was "gradually diminishing."
01[12:15] {@Threei}  Gold and EUR/CHF were whipped around ahead of polls on the Swiss gold referendum. Ahead of the release of the poll numbers at 11:00ET, spot gold dropped 1.5%, to $1,178 while EUR/CHF spiked up to 1.2026. The SRF/Ecopop poll showed 39% of respondents in favor of "Save Our Gold" referendum and 56% opposed, as support for the gold measures melts away.
01[12:15] {@Threei}  gosh... poor goldbugs won't survive this
01[12:15] {@Threei}  they put so much hope in this referendum
01[12:32] {@Threei}  The head of east Ukraine’s separatist People’s Republic of Luhansk (LNR) has challenged Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to a duel to bring a decisive end to the conflict between government loyal forces and pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine’s east.
