[06:22] {esemde} contract after contract

[06:34] {Threei} was aiming for 8 a few days ago when we first mentioned it
[06:34] {Threei} still verry tough one, low volume
[06:34] {Threei} sneaky climber
[06:34] {cosmo} and a heartbreaker...
[06:37] {Threei} PLUG?

[06:49] {Threei} in
[06:49] {BillyD} .80 here
[06:49] {Threei} 10 cents stop, worth a try
[06:49] {Threei} stocks stays in red while NQ is up 13 points
[06:50] {Threei} wouldn't uptick more than 5 cents while NQ up 3 points

[06:53] {BillyD} lol...out in full ty
[06:53] {Threei} welcome :)
[06:53] {esemde} well done all enjoyed watching that....
[06:54] {Threei} only watching?
[06:54] {Threei} SCON?
[06:54] {esemde} yes i'm afraid so vad......tons of work on my desk here....
[06:54] {Threei} oh
[06:54] {Threei} sorry
[06:55] {esemde} am doing both.....busy season for me....
[06:55] {Threei} yeah, you described it last week
[06:55] {Threei} sounded intimidating :)
[06:55] {esemde} it is but fun.....still learning from you all though
[06:56] {Threei} stop to .71 for second half
[06:57] {bruce} was that capitulation trade vad?
[06:57] {esemde} i'm still participating in a small way....bought 100 shs of CSIQ at 14.50 frday to swing trade it
[06:57] {Threei} capitulstion?
[06:57] {Threei} capitulation is a long play on quick selloff
[06:57] {Threei} bottom fishin
[06:58] {Threei} that was short on relative weakness,
[06:58] {Threei} aggressive entry close to resistance
[06:58] {Threei} out BRCM
[06:58] {bruce} k - thoght it just menat overextended in either direction
[06:58] {Threei} overextended upward is euphoria,
[06:58] {BillyD} took MLMN for scalp earlier and it kept going
[06:59] {Threei} and in ane case, it refers to trend reversal play
[06:59] {Threei} BRCM short was trend continuation
[06:59] {bruce} yep - figured that
[06:59] {Threei} :)
[06:59] {Threei} wtg Billy
[06:59] {Threei} I can't come to agreement with this one
[06:59] {BillyD} ty...it was your mention from Friday
[07:00] {BillyD} well...reason for .18 scalp
[07:00] {Threei} yes... I just get shaken out on it more often than I get it right
[07:00] {Threei} its rhythm is not exactly my thing I guess
[07:02] {Threei} ESLR
[07:02] {Threei} trying to catch up with solar revival
[07:02] {BillyD} this one shakes me when it is back to normal
[07:02] {BillyD} JADE acting up
[07:03] {BillyD} not in or chasing here
[07:03] {Threei} DSTI too
[07:03] {Threei} don't jump on any of them
[07:04] {Threei} at this point it's unclear whether mania is back or it's just a water-testing
[07:04] {Threei} my personal feeling is, solar mania will be back and soon enough, but it's not on yet
[07:04] {esemde} DSTI is that solar as well
[07:04] {Threei} yup
[07:04] {Threei} (I think)
[07:05] {BillyD} DSTI....pick entry carefully
[07:05] {BillyD} lol
[07:05] {Threei} when it comes to fundamentals, sectors etc, double chech me please :)
[07:05] {esemde} my solar screen is a sea of green this morning
[07:05] {Roman} long JRJC
[07:06] {Roman} very small
[07:06] {Threei} to me, "it's forming a setup, risk is within my tolerance" is fundamental enough, lol
[07:07] {Threei} FSLR seems to be leading the charge
[07:07] {Threei} ASTI and SOLF are not too hot
[07:07] {Threei} so looks like at this point mania is not really widespread
[07:08] {BillyD} good observation
[07:08] {Threei} tail is not following the head confidently
[07:08] {BillyD} but there is a pulse
[07:10] {Threei} CSUN
[07:10] {Threei} no news that I see
[07:11] {Threei} you are up 2 points of your CSIQ ese
[07:11] {Threei} nicely done
[07:12] {Threei} my understanding is stop was under 14... so it's 1:1 here
[07:13] {Threei} scary trade:
[07:13] {Threei} SEED
[07:13] {Threei} 5.93 long
[07:13] {Threei} stop under .75
[07:14] {esemde} yes...100 shs...
[07:14] {esemde} my stop is at 14
[07:15] {esemde} am gonna let this ride for the rest of the day....and see what happens
[07:15] {Threei} figured that... "I am watching you... I am right behind your shoulder"... (in my best lame horror-movie voice)
[07:15] {esemde} slow and steady hopefully....
[07:16] {esemde} can't really make any money this way but a stress free way to participate until work load dies down a bit
[07:21] {BillyD} HOKU may be a short coming up here
[07:21] {BillyD} just so jumpy
[07:22] {bruce} gigm vad?
[07:22] {Threei} chart is right...
[07:22] {Threei} it's not an easy one to trade
[07:22] {Threei} worth a try half lot
[07:22] {BillyD} GIGM tough imop
[07:23] {Threei} .63 trigger
[07:23] {Threei} by just personality of this stock, I'd say 55/45 trade :)
[07:24] {bruce} not worth it then
[07:26] {_lumdus} .63 trigger on what stock
[07:27] {Threei} GIGM lumdus, answering bruce's question
[07:37] {Threei} forget GIGM

[07:40] {BillyD} HOKU steam
[07:42] {BillyD} any read HOKU Vad
[07:44] {Threei} trying to get a feel for it... not much luck so far
[07:44] {BillyD} it seems to keep you on edge
[07:44] {BillyD} because of its personality
[07:45] {Threei} FFIV... I am not delighted bruce
[07:45] {Threei} kind of marginal trade... not compelling
[07:45] {Threei} I prefer my trades to make me grab them
[07:46] {bruce} k - I thought it was settingh up as a short
[07:46] {Threei} it did as NQ broke down
[07:47] {bruce} yup
[07:47] {bruce} read it right for once

[08:32] {BillyD} i got out earlier around even...then rentered .45 for scalp of about .12
[08:32] {Threei} good way to play it
[08:32] {BillyD} pullbacks
[08:35] {Threei} this teleporting is what I dislike on HOKU
[08:35] {BillyD} u are at the mercy
[08:35] {Threei} got ready to break .75, all opf sudden it's 10 cents lower

[09:12] {Threei} 43.09 stop
[09:13] {Threei} maybe too tight... if prefer .04, adjust shares accordingly
[09:15] {Threei} FSLR continues
[09:19] {Threei} wow... look at SWAT spread

[09:28] {bruce} frpt - any read vad?
[09:29] {Threei} 13.10 for scalp
[09:29] {Threei} 12.94 stop
[09:29] {Threei} be careful with this one, it can be quite treacherous
[09:31] {bruce} thanks
[09:42] {Threei} BEAV stop to .14
[09:58] {Threei} DISH
[09:58] {Threei} MOVES HIGHER AFTER THESTREET.COM SAYS TALKS WITH AT&T HAVE COOLED BUT TALKS CONTINUE- source says talks are ongoing about a price in the $60's. Another source says the deal is still happening, just at a slower pace
[10:06] {bruce} daily volume on beav has been dropping last few days vad
[10:06] {bruce} what makes it a good intraday candidate today?
[10:07] {Threei} intraday setup?
[10:07] {bruce} lol
[10:07] {Threei} there is clean JBE on 1 min
[10:07] {bruce} I'm leery of long consolidations
[10:07] {Threei} lower volume on Fri- it was half day don't forget
[10:08] {bruce} I see the [pattern OK but have seen them fail a lot
[10:08] {bruce} true
[10:09] {Threei} in any case, it hit 1:1 twice
[10:09] {Threei} and does it now for a third time
[10:11] {bruce} yup- worked well
[10:11] {bruce} it'sa really obvious pattern
[10:12] {bruce} and I've had a really low succes rate
[10:12] {bruce} with that long breakout pattern
[10:12] {Threei} this is one of my most traded patterns... with very nice success rate
[10:12] {Threei} most of my calls you see are of this kind
[10:14] {bruce} for me - the short consolidations rok fine
[10:14] {bruce} the ones over 30 minutes fail a lot
[10:14] {Threei} this is normal
[10:14] {Threei} same thing with most breakout setups
[10:14] {Threei} triangles are famous for this pattern for instance:
[10:15] {Threei} if breeak occurs with 2/3 till apex, chance of successful break is much higher
[10:15] {Threei} with = within
[10:15] {bruce} k
[10:15] {bruce} neverr put a number to it
[10:15] {bruce} but have noticed exactly that
[10:15] {bruce} the longer they continue
[10:15] {Threei} if I remember correct, TTR mentions this distinctions too
[10:15] {bruce} less likely they will work
[10:16] {bruce} they're beautiful fakeouts
[10:16] {bruce} suck more and more people in - then reverse
[10:18] {Threei} open your copy of TTR, page 142
[10:18] {Threei} Miscullaneous Points
[10:18] {Threei} Point # 1
[10:20] {bruce} k
[10:41] {Threei} out BEAV .40 and .41
[10:44] {BillyD} gj
[10:44] {Threei} booooring trade
[10:45] {Threei} but, you know... bore me with profit
[10:45] {BillyD} profitable
[10:45] {Threei} I am willing to be bored all the way to the bank
[11:00] {bruce} nice play w beqav vad
[11:00] {Threei} ty
[11:00] {Threei} too bad BRCM choose to shake us out first
[11:00] {Threei} would be a very nice short
[11:00] {Threei} especially if we went into coma and forgot we had it
[11:01] {bruce} lol
[11:01] {bruce} I'd like to do some longer holds
[11:02] {bruce} but working on just getting profitable w scalps first
[11:02] {bruce} have to head out
[11:02] {bruce} see you all in am
[11:02] {BillyD} cya
[11:02] {Threei} take care bruce
[11:04] {cosmo} MLNM hod = 14.94 fwiw
[11:06] {cosmo} SKIL tests @ 10
[11:23] {Threei} NVDA long with .14 stop
[11:23] {Threei} first strength from here
[11:25] {Threei} in
[11:25] {Threei} 5 cents stop
[11:26] {BillyD} same here
[11:27] {Threei} lol... 1;1 is reached {G}
[11:27] {Threei} not selling of course
[11:28] {BillyD} lol
[11:28] {Threei} first half out above .30
[11:28] {BillyD} ok
[11:29] {Threei} beauty of aggressive entry
[11:33] {BillyD} out some here
[11:33] {Threei} perfect example of anticipatory trade
[11:34] {Threei} NQ looked like upward turn at the moment,
[11:34] {BillyD} they are always perfect when they work
[11:34] {Threei} .31 looked like long trigger with .14 stop,
[11:34] {Threei} NVDA sat sloce to support,
[11:34] {Threei} making aggressive entry very low risk one
[11:34] {BillyD} yes
[11:35] {_lumdus} csco above 27.80 i think
[11:35] {Threei} and before cosmo asks... sloce is close typed by dyslexic
[11:37] {_lumdus} in csco .80
[11:42] {BillyD} Vad...stop still .14
[11:43] {Threei} yup
[11:46] {BillyD} out
[11:50] {Threei} in again
[11:50] {Threei} just a quick scalp
[11:50] {Threei} .99 stop
[11:52] {_lumdus} would be nice a reversal hre
[11:52] {Threei} good chance for that, and very tight stop
[11:52] {Threei} can take play like this just on risk alone
[11:52] {Threei} out half .10
[11:53] {_lumdus} oh.. just looking for pennies today. hey better then losing
[11:54] {_lumdus} i still like csco if we can get some reversal
[11:54] {BillyD} it seems when I look for more than pennies today...I give back the other half of the first pennies
[11:54] {Threei} this is lunch time, this is Monday, jerky shaky market, several nice wins under the belt...
[11:54] {Threei} don't need much right now
[11:55] {_lumdus} small jerkey pops . that's about it, can't get much more then .001
[11:56] {Threei} .001?
[11:56] {Threei} that would be a bit too small :)
[11:56] {Threei} out balance
[11:56] {BillyD} in MLNM .96
[12:04] {BillyD} mkt not helping
[12:06] {Threei} well, your stock is sitting tight
[12:06] {Threei} I'd say, good pick
[12:06] {BillyD} lol
[12:06] {BillyD} talk more please
[12:06] {Threei} {MLNM} oh you think you can talk me down?
[12:07] {BillyD} ok...fess up you hit the fat finger
[12:07] {Threei} nope... I am in coma
[12:08] {Threei} {market} since when it kept you from trading...
[12:13] {BillyD} MLNM now
[12:13] {BillyD} now I said
[12:13] {BillyD} Vad...start singing
[12:14] {Threei} oh you don't want that
[12:14] {Threei} believe you me
[12:15] {BillyD} I guess I need to think of your family
[12:15] {Threei} when I sing people break windows in futile attempt to escape the horror
[12:16] {BillyD} lol
[12:17] {BillyD} have mad some anticipatory trades and then rationalized maybe I was guessing too much only too bail and then see them do what you anticipated
[12:17] {BillyD} gotta stick w/ the small voice inside
[12:17] {Threei} if you ever see ese running for cover, desperately trying to get asylum in another country and complaining to UN about cruel and unusual punishment or torture - you know I sang in his presence
[12:17] {BillyD} roflol
[12:19] {Threei} out MLNM .07
[12:19] {Threei} ty billy :)
[12:20] {BillyD} yw
[12:20] {BillyD} out 1/2 +.10
[12:26] {Threei} whoa CSIQ
[12:26] {Threei} serious selloff
[12:26] {Threei} due to bounce
[12:26] {Threei} in half lot
[12:26] {Threei} stop under .50
[12:30] {Threei} won't let it lose .75 on me
[12:30] {Threei} out
[12:30] {Threei} lousy +.6 cents...
[12:30] {Threei} wanted much bigger bounce but not going to risk another sharp drop
[12:30] {BillyD} yeah
[12:34] {_lumdus} put stop oat break even for csiq
[12:36] {BillyD} out rest MLNM +.06

[12:40] {Threei} boring, yeah
[12:40] {BillyD} that guy picks on everyone
[12:40] {Threei} but I really don't mind
[12:40] {BillyD} not $ day for me
[12:41] {Threei} I think you undersize those aggressive entry plays
[12:41] {BillyD} that is exactly part of problem
[12:41] {Threei} when I have 4-5 cents stop on liquid stocks I don't really hold back
[12:42] {BillyD} then I find I have to keep pushing trades
[12:42] {Threei} with such tiny stop and potentially small target, why not play bigger size
[12:42] {BillyD} my better trades earlier I got small fills
[12:42] {BillyD} your right though.....
[12:43] {Threei} 12 cents is fine with 1K, not much sense with half lot, considerably nice with 2-3K
[12:43] {Threei} that's the point of agressive entries, right?
[12:43] {BillyD} yeah......this is then conclusion I have been coming to
[12:43] {Threei} to minimize the stop
[12:44] {Threei} so your risk is smaller
[12:44] {BillyD} just in my trades overall....I need to increase size unless volatility doesn't warrant
[12:44] {Threei} but your risk tolerance is the same
[12:44] {Threei} you would cut down shares size if play required wider stop
[12:44] {BillyD} yes
[12:44] {Threei} so why wouldn't you increase size when play allows for a very tight stop...
[12:44] {Threei} works both ways :)
[12:45] {BillyD} true :)
[12:47] {_lumdus} so let's have some good old rally eod at least... comon
[12:57] {Threei} not much of a rally... oh well
[13:02] {Threei} thank you all
[13:02] {Threei} havce a good evening, see you tomorrow

[06:21] {Threei} 1 min ago
[06:22] {esemde} lots of good news coming out on this stock last week and a half....
[06:22] {esemde} contract after contract
[06:24] {Threei} we assigned "far from done" status to this one... good to see it lives up to expectations
[06:24] {esemde} is it good enough to help it get by 5yr high of 18.88
[06:24] {esemde} i wonder...
[06:28] {BillyD} HOKU is shortable Laser

[06:33] {Threei} lol
[06:34] {Threei} was aiming for 8 a few days ago when we first mentioned it
[06:34] {Threei} still verry tough one, low volume
[06:34] {Threei} sneaky climber
[06:34] {cosmo} and a heartbreaker...
[06:37] {Threei} PLUG?
[06:37] {Threei} don't see news

[06:49] {Threei} 10 cents stop, worth a try
[06:49] {Threei} stocks stays in red while NQ is up 13 points
[06:50] {Threei} wouldn't uptick more than 5 cents while NQ up 3 points

[06:53] {BillyD} lol...out in full ty
[06:53] {Threei} welcome :)
[06:53] {esemde} well done all enjoyed watching that....
[06:54] {Threei} only watching?
[06:54] {Threei} SCON?
[06:54] {esemde} yes i'm afraid so vad......tons of work on my desk here....
[06:54] {Threei} oh
[06:54] {Threei} sorry
[06:55] {esemde} am doing both.....busy season for me....
[06:55] {Threei} yeah, you described it last week
[06:55] {Threei} sounded intimidating :)
[06:55] {esemde} it is but fun.....still learning from you all though
[06:56] {Threei} stop to .71 for second half
[06:57] {bruce} was that capitulation trade vad?
[06:57] {esemde} i'm still participating in a small way....bought 100 shs of CSIQ at 14.50 frday to swing trade it
[06:57] {Threei} capitulstion?
[06:57] {Threei} capitulation is a long play on quick selloff
[06:57] {Threei} bottom fishin
[06:58] {Threei} that was short on relative weakness,
[06:58] {Threei} aggressive entry close to resistance
[06:58] {Threei} out BRCM
[06:58] {bruce} k - thoght it just menat overextended in either direction
[06:58] {Threei} overextended upward is euphoria,
[06:58] {BillyD} took MLMN for scalp earlier and it kept going
[06:59] {Threei} and in ane case, it refers to trend reversal play
[06:59] {Threei} BRCM short was trend continuation
[06:59] {bruce} yep - figured that
[06:59] {Threei} :)
[06:59] {Threei} wtg Billy
[06:59] {Threei} I can't come to agreement with this one
[06:59] {BillyD} ty...it was your mention from Friday
[07:00] {BillyD} well...reason for .18 scalp
[07:00] {Threei} yes... I just get shaken out on it more often than I get it right
[07:00] {Threei} its rhythm is not exactly my thing I guess
[07:02] {Threei} ESLR
[07:02] {Threei} trying to catch up with solar revival
[07:02] {BillyD} this one shakes me when it is back to normal
[07:02] {BillyD} JADE acting up
[07:03] {BillyD} not in or chasing here
[07:03] {Threei} DSTI too
[07:03] {Threei} don't jump on any of them
[07:04] {Threei} at this point it's unclear whether mania is back or it's just a water-testing
[07:04] {Threei} my personal feeling is, solar mania will be back and soon enough, but it's not on yet
[07:04] {esemde} DSTI is that solar as well
[07:04] {Threei} yup
[07:04] {Threei} (I think)
[07:05] {BillyD} DSTI....pick entry carefully
[07:05] {BillyD} lol
[07:05] {Threei} when it comes to fundamentals, sectors etc, double chech me please :)
[07:05] {esemde} my solar screen is a sea of green this morning
[07:05] {Roman} long JRJC
[07:06] {Roman} very small
[07:06] {Threei} to me, "it's forming a setup, risk is within my tolerance" is fundamental enough, lol
[07:07] {Threei} FSLR seems to be leading the charge
[07:07] {Threei} ASTI and SOLF are not too hot
[07:07] {Threei} so looks like at this point mania is not really widespread
[07:08] {BillyD} good observation
[07:08] {Threei} tail is not following the head confidently
[07:08] {BillyD} but there is a pulse
[07:10] {Threei} CSUN
[07:10] {Threei} no news that I see
[07:11] {Threei} you are up 2 points of your CSIQ ese
[07:11] {Threei} nicely done
[07:12] {Threei} my understanding is stop was under 14... so it's 1:1 here
[07:13] {Threei} scary trade:
[07:13] {Threei} SEED
[07:13] {Threei} 5.93 long
[07:13] {Threei} stop under .75
[07:14] {esemde} yes...100 shs...
[07:14] {esemde} my stop is at 14
[07:15] {esemde} am gonna let this ride for the rest of the day....and see what happens
[07:15] {Threei} figured that... "I am watching you... I am right behind your shoulder"... (in my best lame horror-movie voice)
[07:15] {esemde} slow and steady hopefully....
[07:16] {esemde} can't really make any money this way but a stress free way to participate until work load dies down a bit
[07:21] {BillyD} HOKU may be a short coming up here
[07:21] {BillyD} just so jumpy
[07:22] {bruce} gigm vad?
[07:22] {Threei} chart is right...
[07:22] {Threei} it's not an easy one to trade
[07:22] {Threei} worth a try half lot
[07:22] {BillyD} GIGM tough imop
[07:23] {Threei} .63 trigger
[07:23] {Threei} by just personality of this stock, I'd say 55/45 trade :)
[07:24] {bruce} not worth it then
[07:26] {_lumdus} .63 trigger on what stock
[07:27] {Threei} GIGM lumdus, answering bruce's question
[07:37] {Threei} forget GIGM

[07:40] {BillyD} HOKU steam
[07:42] {BillyD} any read HOKU Vad
[07:44] {Threei} trying to get a feel for it... not much luck so far
[07:44] {BillyD} it seems to keep you on edge
[07:44] {BillyD} because of its personality
[07:45] {Threei} FFIV... I am not delighted bruce
[07:45] {Threei} kind of marginal trade... not compelling
[07:45] {Threei} I prefer my trades to make me grab them
[07:46] {bruce} k - I thought it was settingh up as a short
[07:46] {Threei} it did as NQ broke down
[07:47] {bruce} yup
[07:47] {bruce} read it right for once
[07:53] {BillyD} FFHL moving

[08:30] {BillyD} yes
[08:31] {Threei} out HOKU
[08:31] {Threei} not confidence
[08:31] {Threei} maybe goes maybe not
[08:32] {BillyD} i got out earlier around even...then rentered .45 for scalp of about .12
[08:32] {Threei} good way to play it
[08:32] {BillyD} pullbacks
[08:35] {Threei} this teleporting is what I dislike on HOKU
[08:35] {BillyD} u are at the mercy
[08:35] {Threei} got ready to break .75, all opf sudden it's 10 cents lower
[08:36] {BillyD} if u can call it mercy

[09:11] {Threei} BEAV
[09:11] {Threei} .21 long trigger, half lot
[09:12] {Threei} 43.09 stop
[09:13] {Threei} maybe too tight... if prefer .04, adjust shares accordingly
[09:15] {Threei} FSLR continues
[09:19] {Threei} wow... look at SWAT spread
[09:19] {Threei} is it even legal?? :)
[09:19] {BillyD} only if you participate
[09:24] {esemde} have a great day everyone.
[09:24] {Threei} take care ese
[09:25] {BillyD} bye ese
[09:26] {bruce} bye ese
[09:28] {bruce} frpt - any read vad?
[09:29] {Threei} 13.10 for scalp
[09:29] {Threei} 12.94 stop
[09:29] {Threei} be careful with this one, it can be quite treacherous
[09:31] {bruce} thanks
[09:42] {Threei} BEAV stop to .14
[09:58] {Threei} DISH
[09:58] {Threei} MOVES HIGHER AFTER THESTREET.COM SAYS TALKS WITH AT&T HAVE COOLED BUT TALKS CONTINUE- source says talks are ongoing about a price in the $60's. Another source says the deal is still happening, just at a slower pace
[10:06] {bruce} daily volume on beav has been dropping last few days vad
[10:06] {bruce} what makes it a good intraday candidate today?
[10:07] {Threei} intraday setup?
[10:07] {bruce} lol
[10:07] {Threei} there is clean JBE on 1 min
[10:07] {bruce} I'm leery of long consolidations
[10:07] {Threei} lower volume on Fri- it was half day don't forget
[10:08] {bruce} I see the [pattern OK but have seen them fail a lot
[10:08] {bruce} true
[10:09] {Threei} in any case, it hit 1:1 twice
[10:09] {Threei} and does it now for a third time
[10:11] {bruce} yup- worked well
[10:11] {bruce} it'sa really obvious pattern
[10:12] {bruce} and I've had a really low succes rate
[10:12] {bruce} with that long breakout pattern
[10:12] {Threei} this is one of my most traded patterns... with very nice success rate
[10:12] {Threei} most of my calls you see are of this kind
[10:14] {bruce} for me - the short consolidations rok fine
[10:14] {bruce} the ones over 30 minutes fail a lot
[10:14] {Threei} this is normal
[10:14] {Threei} same thing with most breakout setups
[10:14] {Threei} triangles are famous for this pattern for instance:
[10:15] {Threei} if breeak occurs with 2/3 till apex, chance of successful break is much higher
[10:15] {Threei} with = within
[10:15] {bruce} k
[10:15] {bruce} neverr put a number to it
[10:15] {bruce} but have noticed exactly that
[10:15] {bruce} the longer they continue
[10:15] {Threei} if I remember correct, TTR mentions this distinctions too
[10:15] {bruce} less likely they will work
[10:16] {bruce} they're beautiful fakeouts
[10:16] {bruce} suck more and more people in - then reverse
[10:18] {Threei} open your copy of TTR, page 142
[10:18] {Threei} Miscullaneous Points
[10:18] {Threei} Point # 1
[10:20] {bruce} k
[10:41] {Threei} out BEAV .40 and .41
[10:44] {BillyD} gj
[10:44] {Threei} booooring trade
[10:45] {Threei} but, you know... bore me with profit
[10:45] {BillyD} profitable
[10:45] {Threei} I am willing to be bored all the way to the bank
[11:00] {bruce} nice play w beqav vad
[11:00] {Threei} ty
[11:00] {Threei} too bad BRCM choose to shake us out first
[11:00] {Threei} would be a very nice short
[11:00] {Threei} especially if we went into coma and forgot we had it
[11:01] {bruce} lol
[11:01] {bruce} I'd like to do some longer holds
[11:02] {bruce} but working on just getting profitable w scalps first
[11:02] {bruce} have to head out
[11:02] {bruce} see you all in am
[11:02] {BillyD} cya
[11:02] {Threei} take care bruce
[11:04] {cosmo} MLNM hod = 14.94 fwiw
[11:06] {cosmo} SKIL tests @ 10
[11:23] {Threei} NVDA long with .14 stop
[11:23] {Threei} first strength from here
[11:25] {Threei} in
[11:25] {Threei} 5 cents stop
[11:26] {BillyD} same here
[11:27] {Threei} lol... 1;1 is reached {G}
[11:27] {Threei} not selling of course
[11:28] {BillyD} lol
[11:28] {Threei} first half out above .30
[11:28] {BillyD} ok
[11:29] {Threei} beauty of aggressive entry
[11:33] {BillyD} out some here
[11:33] {Threei} perfect example of anticipatory trade
[11:34] {Threei} NQ looked like upward turn at the moment,
[11:34] {BillyD} they are always perfect when they work
[11:34] {Threei} .31 looked like long trigger with .14 stop,
[11:34] {Threei} NVDA sat sloce to support,
[11:34] {Threei} making aggressive entry very low risk one
[11:34] {BillyD} yes
[11:35] {_lumdus} csco above 27.80 i think
[11:35] {Threei} and before cosmo asks... sloce is close typed by dyslexic
[11:37] {_lumdus} in csco .80
[11:42] {BillyD} Vad...stop still .14
[11:43] {Threei} yup
[11:46] {BillyD} out
[11:50] {Threei} in again
[11:50] {Threei} just a quick scalp
[11:50] {Threei} .99 stop
[11:52] {_lumdus} would be nice a reversal hre
[11:52] {Threei} good chance for that, and very tight stop
[11:52] {Threei} can take play like this just on risk alone
[11:52] {Threei} out half .10
[11:53] {_lumdus} oh.. just looking for pennies today. hey better then losing
[11:54] {_lumdus} i still like csco if we can get some reversal
[11:54] {BillyD} it seems when I look for more than pennies today...I give back the other half of the first pennies
[11:54] {Threei} this is lunch time, this is Monday, jerky shaky market, several nice wins under the belt...
[11:54] {Threei} don't need much right now
[11:55] {_lumdus} small jerkey pops . that's about it, can't get much more then .001
[11:56] {Threei} .001?
[11:56] {Threei} that would be a bit too small :)
[11:56] {Threei} out balance
[11:56] {BillyD} in MLNM .96
[12:04] {BillyD} mkt not helping
[12:06] {Threei} well, your stock is sitting tight
[12:06] {Threei} I'd say, good pick
[12:06] {BillyD} lol
[12:06] {BillyD} talk more please
[12:06] {Threei} {MLNM} oh you think you can talk me down?
[12:07] {BillyD} ok...fess up you hit the fat finger

[12:13] {BillyD} Vad...start singing
[12:14] {Threei} oh you don't want that
[12:14] {Threei} believe you me
[12:15] {BillyD} I guess I need to think of your family
[12:15] {Threei} when I sing people break windows in futile attempt to escape the horror
[12:16] {BillyD} lol
[12:17] {BillyD} have mad some anticipatory trades and then rationalized maybe I was guessing too much only too bail and then see them do what you anticipated
[12:17] {BillyD} gotta stick w/ the small voice inside
[12:17] {Threei} if you ever see ese running for cover, desperately trying to get asylum in another country and complaining to UN about cruel and unusual punishment or torture - you know I sang in his presence
[12:17] {BillyD} roflol

[12:40] {Threei} WIRES REPORT NEW BIN LADEN TAPE RELEASED ADDRESSING EUROPEANS
[12:40] {BillyD} thx....spinning wheels day here
[12:40] {Threei} quite nice day money wise
[12:40] {Threei} boring, yeah
[12:40] {BillyD} that guy picks on everyone
[12:40] {Threei} but I really don't mind
[12:40] {BillyD} not $ day for me
[12:41] {Threei} I think you undersize those aggressive entry plays
[12:41] {BillyD} that is exactly part of problem
[12:41] {Threei} when I have 4-5 cents stop on liquid stocks I don't really hold back
[12:42] {BillyD} then I find I have to keep pushing trades
[12:42] {Threei} with such tiny stop and potentially small target, why not play bigger size
[12:42] {BillyD} my better trades earlier I got small fills
[12:42] {BillyD} your right though.....
[12:43] {Threei} 12 cents is fine with 1K, not much sense with half lot, considerably nice with 2-3K
[12:43] {Threei} that's the point of agressive entries, right?
[12:43] {BillyD} yeah......this is then conclusion I have been coming to
[12:43] {Threei} to minimize the stop
[12:44] {Threei} so your risk is smaller
[12:44] {BillyD} just in my trades overall....I need to increase size unless volatility doesn't warrant
[12:44] {Threei} but your risk tolerance is the same
[12:44] {Threei} you would cut down shares size if play required wider stop
[12:44] {BillyD} yes
[12:44] {Threei} so why wouldn't you increase size when play allows for a very tight stop...
[12:44] {Threei} works both ways :)
[12:45] {BillyD} true :)
[12:47] {_lumdus} so let's have some good old rally eod at least... comon
[12:57] {Threei} not much of a rally... oh well
[13:02] {Threei} thank you all

[13:02] {BillyD} cya tomorrow
