Session Time: Tue Oct 30 00:00:00 2007

[05:23] {bruce} gm all
[05:26] {Threei} Good morning
[05:26] {Threei} why oh why didn't I mistakenly push buy buton on SCON yesterday and forget all about it till today
[05:27] {bruce} thats not the question
[05:27] {Threei} no?
[05:27] {bruce} ? is why or oh why didn
[05:27] {bruce} t you advise all of us to do that?
[05:27] {Threei} ah
[05:27] {bruce} lol
[05:27] {Threei} {--- working on new alert: "Mistakenly buy ABCD"
[05:28] {bruce} cool
[05:28] {Threei} that's a good idea actually
[05:28] {Threei} if it works, I am all like "see, I can make money even when mistaken",
[05:28] {Threei} if it doesn't, "Told ya it was a mistake"
[05:29] {Threei} either way I am a hero
[05:29] {bruce} lol
[05:29] {bruce} have to checkw others on their definition of "hero"
[05:31] {Threei} as famous russian poet said, "you are your own supreme court"
[05:32] {Threei} but he also said "do not distinguish between victory and defeat"... I guess he wasn't trader really
[05:33] {bruce} I think thats a prety good guess
[05:34] {Threei} CSUN is a comedy of errors for me at the close and open
[05:35] {Threei} it started breaking 11.50, I totally forgot that we had just a minute left till close,
[05:35] {Threei} so I bought,
[05:35] {Threei} then level 2 all but disappeared on me,
[05:35] {Threei} I realized market was closed
[05:35] {Threei} so not wishing to carry it overnight I stuck around a bit and dumped it at 11.56
[05:36] {Threei} for whole 60 bucks of profit minus commissions
[05:36] {bruce} tough one _ i et some guys that play pre and aftermarket a lot
[05:36] {Threei} then in the morning fired up Laser 10 min after opening
[05:36] {bruce} but i don't like doing it
[05:36] {bruce} ridiculous spread
[05:36] {Threei} and saw that if I did have it I'd have to dump it right when trading started
[05:37] {Threei} went down ever since
[05:37] {bruce} 6\nothing wrong w 60. vad
[05:37] {Threei} well... better than poke in the eye
[05:38] {bruce} lol
[05:38] {bruce} better thqan 200. loss
[05:38] {Threei} but poet said?....
[05:39] {magoo} morning RT
[05:39] {Threei} magoo :)
[05:40] {bruce} "it's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game?"
[05:40] {bruce} thats crap for traders
[05:40] {bruce} morning mags
[05:40] {Threei} well... applied to any given trade it's true actually
[05:41] {bruce} k- you got me there
[05:41] {Threei} remember definition opf good trade vs bad one?
[05:41] {bruce} yes - good ones make money
[05:42] {Threei} it's just that in trading, if you play it right, while each given trade's putcome is pretty much random, overall you will make money
[05:42] {Threei} nope... wrong definition
[05:42] {bruce} lol - I knew that was coming
[05:42] {bruce} yadda yadda yadda
[05:43] {magoo} OY
[05:43] {bruce} its about following your stratgy - complete w stops
[05:43] {magoo} too early
[05:43] {bruce} heck - I've been doing that -
[05:50] {magoo} so then bruce, u been winning overall?
[05:50] {bruce} no mags
[05:50] {bruce} down on month
[05:51] {dptl} good morning all
[05:51] {Threei} dp
[05:51] {bruce} seem to have a knack for entering trades that either don't work - or don't play oout on second half
[05:51] {bruce} even losing an vqads calls
[05:51] {bruce} seem to miss the good wins and get into the others
[05:52] {bruce} hi dp - morning
[05:52] {Threei} so, are you going over your process of selection to nail the reason?
[05:52] {Threei} and to correct it?
[05:52] {bruce} I tend to favor the lower risk trades vad
[05:53] {bruce} not sure what I can correct
[05:53] {bruce} take more higher risk trades?
[05:53] {Threei} well, it's not like all lower risk trades were losers
[05:53] {cosmo} i like road kill...
[05:53] {Threei} higher risk ones just solid chunk
[05:54] {Threei} so, two things
[05:54] {bruce} not at all - but If I took it chances are it didn't plauy out
[05:54] {Threei} first, on lower risk ones gotta see if you play them correctly
[05:54] {bruce} I'm posting most trades - entry ande exit
[05:54] {Threei} and second, higher risk ones are still playable if you keep your shares small, no?
[05:54] {bruce} so you can see what I'm doing
[05:54] {bruce} true
[05:55] {magoo} i founnd that w/vad too...hemakes 5 call, hits 67.7% or 3 of 5, and i take only the 2 losers
[05:55] {magoo} so i take them all now
[05:55] {bruce} thats whats been happening to me
[05:55] {bruce} didn't track vads numbers
[05:55] {magoo} like yestewrday, vad was discouraged, thought everyone missed his calls
[05:55] {bruce} but he seems to have 1 or 2 real nice wins each day
[05:55] {bruce} and I cocnsisntently miss those ones
[05:56] {magoo} i was busy to post, BUT had taken them all
[05:56] {Threei} think of what you are trying to do in the following terms please
[05:56] {bruce} get in the others and end up flat
[05:56] {Threei} there is a strategy, or approach or style, whatever you want to call it
[05:56] {Threei} as any other strategy, it works with certain %
[05:56] {Threei} right?
[05:56] {bruce} understood vad
[05:56] {Threei} so,
[05:57] {Threei} when you are trying to sort out that strategy singals
[05:57] {Threei} in order to pick winning ones only
[05:57] {bruce} trading is just about putting odds in your favor
[05:57] {bruce} as dino says - anything can happen
[05:57] {Threei} what are trying to do is in fact an attempt to trade at 100%
[05:57] {magoo} vad, i think u win or as in, are up most everyday right?
[05:57] {Threei} You are effectively ruining the inner structure of the system
[05:58] {Threei} which is based on probabilities
[05:58] {bruce} maybe - but I don't think so
[05:58] {magoo} so bruce, need to take all his calls, so u catch the winning percent
[05:58] {Threei} you are trying to optimize it,
[05:58] {Threei} OK, nothing worng with that
[05:58] {bruce} someimtes I don't see your post till its too late
[05:58] {Threei} but by what parameters?
[05:59] {bruce} but maybe I am subconscoiusly picking the trades less likely to work out?
[05:59] {bruce} don't know
[05:59] {Threei} maybe,
[05:59] {cosmo} perfection = anything better than 65%
[05:59] {Threei} but major thing is
[05:59] {Threei} you are filtering out system's signals
[05:59] {Threei} by some criteria that you haven't tracked
[05:59] {Threei} so, whatever it is
[06:00] {magoo} btw, dino doesn't even believe his odds are better than 50/50
[06:00] {bruce} I have tended to avoid the plays like lulu
[06:00] {Threei} safe to assume that it may not be optimal filtering
[06:00] {Threei} well, LULU is special case
[06:00] {bruce} and you've done well with those in most part
[06:00] {Threei} that one you better avoid :)
[06:00] {Threei} or play 50 shares
[06:00] {magoo} he is just the most awesome disciplined STOP ARTIST since a young russian migrated to canada
[06:00] {Threei} 100 at best
[06:00] {markweb} gm all
[06:01] {Threei} mark :)
[06:01] {markweb} :)
[06:01] {bruce} I realaly need to turn this around
[06:01] {Threei} and that is correct... if you play it right, even 50/50 will work
[06:01] {bruce} I almost never take a trade without your advise vad or someone elses
[06:01] {bruce} so not sure what is wrong
[06:01] {Threei} why don't you get back to MPP's process bruce
[06:02] {Threei} it describes step by stepo how to hone the system
[06:02] {Threei} by analyzing the results
[06:02] {bruce} I'm hitting 50/50 already vad
[06:02] {Threei} you know pure blind following will never work
[06:02] {bruce} last week was good
[06:02] {bruce} 22 wins
[06:02] {bruce} 11 losses
[06:03] {Threei} sounds good to me providing losses were not bigger than wins
[06:03] {bruce} but overall profit was tiny
[06:03] {Threei} there
[06:03] {bruce} some of the wins were tiny
[06:03] {Threei} that's exactly the point where MPP process helps see why
[06:03] {bruce} like that play on monday - forget the stock
[06:03] {bruce} stoipped at 20
[06:03] {bruce} pivoted back
[06:04] {bruce} eneded up w a 3c win in it overall
[06:04] {bruce} pretty sure I played it right
[06:04] {bruce} but one lose knocks out 3 of those kind of small winds
[06:05] {Threei} you pretty much have your answer
[06:05] {bruce} my wins are to small
[06:05] {cosmo} its a phase bruce
[06:05] {Threei} or losses too big - but in any case, their ratio is wrong
[06:05] {bruce} as I said - tend to enther the trades that don't play out for significant wins
[06:06] {Threei} do you track what happens to them after your exit?
[06:06] {Threei} optimization procedure in MPP
[06:06] {bruce} not as recorded record no
[06:07] {Threei} who am I writing all those freakin books for... :)
[06:07] {bruce} but if a stock has been in play then I keep a thumbnail of it to see what it does
[06:07] {bruce} I tack win lose ratio and size or wins vad
[06:08] {Threei} but that's not enough for the purpose of optimization
[06:08] {bruce} but not all details like entry time share size , what stock does after exit
[06:08] {Threei} you can't optimize if you don't compare what you did to what you should have done
[06:08] {Threei} do me a favor
[06:08] {Threei} actually do it yourself :)
[06:08] {Threei} reread that part of MPP
[06:09] {Threei} follow the procedure
[06:09] {dino} gm all
[06:09] {Threei} dino :)
[06:09] {Threei} trust me, in everything I wrote, there is no single page of just filler
[06:10] {bruce} haven't seen that book of yours vad
[06:10] {bruce} morning dino
[06:11] {Threei} hmm?
[06:11] {Threei} master profit plan?
[06:11] {bruce} yes - haven't seen taht one
[06:11] {bruce} read your other book
[06:12] {Threei} I think I need to make it required reading for entering the room...
[06:12] {Threei} http://www.realitytrader.com/masterplan
[06:12] {bruce} I think I did a search for it but couldnt find it listed
[06:12] {Threei} ummm... right on our website...? :)
[06:13] {bruce} don't recall - I read a ton of stuyff
[06:13] {bruce} so probabnly looked to borrow it and wasn't able too
[06:13] {cosmo} ONNN off 22%
[06:14] {bruce} I read at least 3 books a week
[06:14] {Threei} hmmm
[06:14] {bruce} so If I bought them all I'd have thousands
[06:14] {bruce} so I borrow books
[06:14] {bruce} and buy the ones that are outstanding as refernece guides
[06:14] {Threei} my guess would be, you read a lot of stuff that clouds your thinking
[06:14] {bruce} lolo
[06:15] {bruce} clouding thinking
[06:15] {Threei} I am not kidding
[06:15] {bruce} thats me
[06:15] {Threei} there are no that many really great trading books that you could keep gpoing at such rate for any significant time
[06:15] {Threei} and there is a lot of
[06:16] {Threei} fluff for the lack of better polite word
[06:16] {bruce} I do read other stuff as well
[06:16] {dino} indeed
[06:16] {Threei} ask ese who read about 130 of them if I remember correctly
[06:16] {dino} simplify
[06:16] {bruce} there is a lot of nonsense wrtiien
[06:16] {Threei} and ask him what he ended up doing with them
[06:16] {bruce} ro stuff that used to work and doesn't nay more
[06:21] {bruce} ua
[06:21] {dino} ot; just started the millionaire traders book last night, interesting
[06:22] {bruce} did you wirite it dino?

[06:53] {ramvfin2003} vad, target on ACTU?
[06:53] {Threei} it's making 52 week highs, uncharted territory
[06:54] {Threei} no assigned target, gotta go with reading as it moves
[06:54] {magoo} in CTDC .39
[06:54] {bruce} what do you mean by melts down - you want to see a retracement first vad?
[06:54] {Threei} no, big offer getting scrolled fast

[07:02] {magoo} nice dino
[07:02] {dino} ty
[07:02] {magoo} i like ctdc to get near 11
[07:02] {ramvfin2003} nice size bid on actu @ .24
[07:05] {magoo} ACTU what the f.........
[07:05] {Threei} second time it does that
[07:05] {Threei} never mind these games
[07:05] {Threei} stop under 8 still
[07:06] {Threei} huge offers don't take it under the stop, huge bids don't prop it over the resistance - games
[07:06] {Threei} if uncomfortable, just dump it for little profit
[07:07] {bruce} stopped ctcd
[07:07] {Threei} partialled at 1: 1 earlier though?
[07:08] {dino} sepr hl s .50
[07:08] {bruce} no offered out at .65 and didn't get taken
[07:09] {Roman} short QMAR
[07:09] {Threei} bruce... it was above 1:1 twice... don't let a winner turn into loss
[07:09] {bruce} try not too - missed on that one
[07:10] {Threei} you overthink them
[07:10] {Threei} it's there, take it
[07:10] {Threei} can always reenter, never can re-exit
[07:11] {Threei} it's like stumbling onto $100 laying on the street and not taking it in hope you will find $500 in a few steps
[07:11] {bruce} initial stop was .20
[07:11] {Threei} yes
[07:11] {bruce} tried for just a tad better and didn't work
[07:11] {Threei} 20 cents
[07:11] {bruce} realistiacally - with commissions - you need 5 more c to get 1 to 1
[07:11] {Threei} commissions is not something market considers
[07:12] {Threei} stock moves by its own rules
[07:12] {bruce} no
[07:12] {Threei} not by your financial circumstances
[07:12] {bruce} anyway - thought it would make it and follwing adtu at same time
[07:12] {Threei} and its rules are, more often than not they reverse or pullback around 1:1 level
[07:13] {Threei} your fast sell feature is exactly for that:
[07:13] {Threei} offer it where you want but be ready to hit the bid if it doesn't take
[07:14] {bruce} considered it but big spread
[07:14] {bruce} fast sell would take 10 c off exit on that trade
[07:14] {Threei} so try to undcercut offer while buying pressure is there
[07:14] {bruce} needed to exit on offer
[07:15] {Threei} but on stocks with jumping spread where you need offer price for exit, you need to exit when you can, not when you have top
[07:15] {bruce} my offer was there - just need ed the one quick spike and didn't get
[07:15] {Threei} which means offering into buying
[07:15] {bruce} ynderstood vad
[07:17] {dino} sepr bstop to .61, not moving
[07:17] {Threei} for those who doesn't use Laser, this strategy can be dangerous
[07:17] {ramvfin2003} SCON
[07:17] {Threei} since you need to cancel, then re-enter, otherwise you risk to get two exits and find yourself in involutary short position
[07:18] {Threei} with Laser, make sure you have Fast Sell activated
[07:18] {Threei} then cancel and reenter will be done automatically and instantly
[07:18] {magoo} nice alert ram

[07:28] {Threei} to me, it is

[07:28] {Threei} I am not putting any thinking into this kind of decisions
[07:28] {ramvfin2003} wakin up a bit for u bruce
[07:28] {Threei} stop is not hit
[07:28] {dino} bruce, keep your stop and let it trade, imo]
[07:29] {bruce} k- have found long consolidations often a danger sign of lack or strength
[07:29] {Threei} movements between stop and target is just noize
[07:29] {bruce} looks like it is going to go after all now though
[07:29] {Threei} you are 2 cents away from 1:1

[12:29] {Threei} DRY BULK SHIPPERS RELATIVELY WEAK THIS AFTERNOON- most likely a technical pullback as many of these stocks have been trading at 52 week highs well above major moving averages. The spark for today's sell may have been comment about excessively high intl. shipping costs made by US Steel on its conference call, or a slip in the Baltic dry bulk freight index, which has doubled in the last four months, providing the lift for the freight stocks.{
[12:30] {bruce} relatively weak?
