[07:17] {magoo} if IF AMZN takes .50 , get near 72 imho RISKY halfer
[07:17] {Threei} VRGY small shares entry here
[07:18] {Threei} stop under .80
[07:18] {magoo} vad, apply foot to GNBT
[07:18] {Threei} GNBT, let the feeding frenzy begin
[07:20] {craigaudio} you playing break vad?
[07:20] {dino} ati l .85
[07:20] {craigaudio} ref:GNBT
[07:20] {Threei} in from .95, yesterday's high break
[07:20] {Threei} [09:54] {Threei} GNBT tries for yesterday's high
[07:20] {Threei} [09:54] {Threei} worth a try
[07:20] {Threei} [09:54] {Threei} feels over 2, has a good shot at 2.20 or so
[07:20] {dino} gna stopped -.06
[07:20] {craigaudio} ok. im in on last break 2
[07:21] {magoo} 09:54] {magoo} long .89
[07:21] {magoo} [09:54] {magoo} .45 long t
[07:23] {Roman} AMZN near high
[07:23] {Roman} dcel
[07:24] {esemde} any opinions on SAPE looks like cup and handle on 2min chart
[07:25] {dino} not here
[07:25] {Threei} feelas stalled
[07:25] {Threei} feels
[07:26] {esemde} tks
[07:27] {Threei} VRGY, stop to .89 if you are still in
[07:27] {dino} hl s decc .99
[07:28] {Threei} magoo... GNBT started following NQ
[07:28] {Threei} usual transformation... independent mover turns into follower as news effect wears off
[07:28] {magoo} yeah
[07:28] {magoo} one push i be out but.....
[07:29] {Threei} NQ has a good shot at breaking 1930
[07:29] {Threei} which should put GNBT over 2.05, lol
[07:29] {DaveG} that thing is so thick
[07:30] {Threei} well, you don't play 300 shares on it
[07:30] {magoo} not really dave respectfuklly submitted
[07:30] {dino} ati stopped, hmm, somethings' wromg w/it
[07:30] {DaveG} ok, i'll head over to my corner again
[07:31] {craigaudio} oil prices higher
[07:31] {Threei} and think of your behaviour
[07:32] {Threei} I am out magoo... sorry :)
[07:33] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[07:33] {_sirzuke} aapl breaking
[07:33] {_sirzuke} lod
[07:33] {magoo} out .01 vad, 4k
[07:34] {Threei} got any left?
[07:34] {magoo} out full
[07:34] {magoo} from .89
[07:35] {magoo} nice trade
[07:35] {Threei} good entry
[07:35] {magoo} we gonna regrett the exit i'm afraid
[07:35] {Threei} you beat me on it by 6 cents, I beat you on exit by 1 and on size by 1K... overall balance is in your favor
[07:36] {craigaudio} you guys think its over for GNBT
[07:36] {Threei} not necessary
[07:36] {magoo} could be craig
[07:36] {craigaudio} ? im in from 2 break
[07:36] {magoo} frenzy over
[07:36] {magoo} out AMZN .61
[07:36] {Threei} will largely depend on NQ from here I believe
[07:36] {magoo} + .79
[07:36] {Threei} wtg magoo
[07:37] {Threei} see craig, our setups were different,
[07:37] {magoo} oh wait...laser got me .63 he he
[07:37] {Threei} different risk/reward relation,
[07:37] {Threei} so our take on the play development is different
[07:37] {Threei} you don't exit just because you think ther play is over
[07:37] {magoo} [09:51] {magoo} in amzn .89
[07:37] {Threei} you exit or partial when risk/reward ratio changes
[07:38] {Threei} to protect profits, maximize them etc
[07:38] {magoo} .74 whatever lol
[07:38] {Threei} if exit was solely dictated by the opinion that move is done, then we would go with entry in opposite direction as well, wouldn't we?
[07:39] {Threei} think of why we don't
[07:39] {craigaudio} ok i see
[07:39] {Threei} it will give you new level of understanding what this game is about
[07:39] {magoo} amzn going over 72 imho

[08:09] {DaveG} :)

[08:10] {Threei} on lots like 5-10 K that rebate makes a difference craig

[08:10] {DaveG} well if not

[11:21] {Threei} actually, entire move is within 15 points NQ :)
[11:22] {Threei} it just looks sifgnificant in terms of otherwise dull day
[11:22] {craigaudio} yes
[11:22] {craigaudio} but means day ends green also
[11:22] {craigaudio} today has been soooo dull

[12:16] {magoo} c u tomorrow
[12:16] {Threei} take care magoo
[12:16] {craigaudio} bye magoo
[12:33] {Threei} KMGB?
[12:40] {_sirzuke} Threei, about how many trades do you do in a day?
[12:40] {Threei} depends on activity
[12:40] {_sirzuke} today?
[12:40] {Threei} could be 5, could be 30
[12:40] {Threei} 6
[12:41] {_sirzuke} seems resonably modest
[12:41] {_sirzuke} so, pretty much you wait only for the highest probability setups?
[12:41] {Threei} well, my idea of trading is profit, not trading for trading sake :)
[12:41] {Threei} for those I can read, recognize, control risk
[12:42] {Threei} it falls into my trading system, I trade it
[12:42] {Threei} tyhe rest is noise
[12:46] {dptl} have a good evening all.........talk to you tomorrow..:)
[12:47] {Threei} take care dp
[12:48] {_sirzuke} threei, what is the maximum amount needed to daytrade/scalp if the minimum is 25k?
[12:48] {Threei} minimu 25 is a myth
[12:49] {Threei} can be done with less
[12:49] {Threei} max, well,... is there such thing? :)
[12:50] {_sirzuke} perhaps...you can't really daytrade with more than 5 open positions at a time without loss of focus, right?
[12:50] {Threei} 5?
[12:50] {Threei} I barely keep with 2
[12:50] {_sirzuke} right
[12:50] {Threei} and only if one of them is slow, lol
[12:51] {Threei} two fast movers at the same time, you have to be 17 years old computer game addict
[12:51] {Threei} with reflexes of Tarzan
[12:54] {craigaudio} bye guys
[12:54] {craigaudio} see you tomorrow
[12:56] {Threei} thank you all
[12:56] {Threei} have a good evening, see you tomorrow
[12:56] {_sirzuke} Thanks...later
[12:58] {lklarson} have a good night all
[13:00] {dino} later all
