[08:36] {Onix} But "they all" say vegetables are good for you?

[08:36] {Threei} except beef
[08:36] {Threei} which in my firm opinion is vegetable

[15:34] {dino} i'm driving him crazy today
[15:35] {Threei} your market today?
[15:35] {dino} lod
[15:35] {dino} below goal, but not bad
[15:35] {Threei} good job
[15:35] {Threei} not my market
[15:35] {Threei} JPM trade will put me at breakeven at best
[15:36] {GeoArb} yeah.... i got scared out
[15:36] {Threei} too many shakes
[15:36] {GeoArb} so -ve
[15:36] {Threei} all stops are within a reason, just a tad too many of them
[15:36] {dino} i think i need to buy this dip
[15:36] {Threei} thanks for NFLX trade and something else that I forgot that kept me not too deep under water
[15:37] {Threei} so JPM should take me at the surafce
[15:37] {Threei} hear that, morgan?
[15:37] {Threei} die
[15:37] {Threei} 1:2, 1/4 more out
[15:37] {Threei} +.40
[15:38] {dino} wow oih -10
[15:38] {Threei} that's some day... equities, oil aand gold down
[15:39] {Threei} btw guys, futures symbol rollover, don't forget
[15:41] {GeoArb} you know maybe i am wrong but my personal opinion is that LII doesnt help me much
[15:42] {dino} everyone is different
[15:42] {GeoArb} maybe am a newbies at ths but get a headache
[15:42] {Threei} what are you trying to use it for?
[15:42] {dino} no, thats just the market in general
[15:43] {GeoArb} mostly for thickness fo stock and volatility
[15:43] {GeoArb} not direction
[15:43] {Threei} right
[15:43] {Threei} so how does it not help?
[15:43] {GeoArb} but even those if my scanner is right i see only the good ones
[15:43] {GeoArb} right?
[15:43] {Threei} look at level 2 BIDU
[15:44] {Threei} and JPM
[15:44] {GeoArb} ok
[15:44] {Threei} which one is safer, by just a single glance on level 2
[15:44] {GeoArb} jpm
[15:44] {Threei} there
[15:44] {GeoArb} wide spread in bidu
[15:44] {Threei} what else do you want from level2? :)
[15:44] {GeoArb} but if my scanner had a max spread filter
[15:44] {Threei} it allowed you to evaluate risk in one second
[15:44] {GeoArb} bidu would never show up
[15:45] {Threei} ummm
[15:45] {Threei} not necesasary
[15:45] {Threei} spread is one factor
[15:45] {Threei} sizes, gap between levels, pace
[15:45] {Threei} all that is not something scanner will help with
[15:45] {GeoArb} can scan for size but not for level and pace agreed
[15:46] {Threei} trailing JPM last portion to .85
[15:48] {Threei} out
[15:49] {Threei} last trade of the day took the day from negative to useless
[15:49] {GeoArb} i promise not to stay home
[15:49] {Threei} thank you
[15:51] {GeoArb} learned a lot.... good days and bad
[15:51] {GeoArb} thanks vad and eveyone
[15:51] {GeoArb} bye
[15:51] {Threei} geo, you are perfectionist, aren't you
[15:51] {dino} fmcn stopped
[15:51] {GeoArb} just an engineer
[15:51] {Threei} biggest winning day is 7 times bigger than biggest losing
[15:52] {Threei} and 4 winning out of 6
[15:52] {GeoArb} thats was lucky bsc short
[15:52] {GeoArb} an abberration
[15:52] {Threei} sigh
[15:52] {Threei} those engineers
[15:53] {GeoArb} "those" forgot previous life eh?

[15:55] {bruce} vad - glad you had OK day
[15:55] {Threei} OK is too loud
[15:55] {Threei} barely scratched my way to flat
[15:55] {bruce} k -
[15:56] {bruce} not I
[15:56] {bruce} keep getting almosty all your losing trades and missing wins
[15:56] {bruce} not sure what to do except stop taking all yur calls
[15:56] {Threei} or take all of them?
[15:57] {bruce} not always possible
[15:57] {Threei} it's your selection that undermined your performance today
[15:57] {dino} adding sm de overnight, holding dwsn, adding sm fwlt overnight
[15:57] {Threei} well, whatever you do or whoever you follow, you never will get all of them, right?
[15:58] {bruce} agreed and understood
[15:58] {Threei} most of them gave ample time for entery
[15:58] {Threei} JPM was available
[15:58] {Threei} NFLX too
[15:58] {bruce} missed those
[16:00] {dino} -300, 366 pt range
[16:17] {bruce} you expecting long bounce de overnight dno?
[16:19] {dino} y
[16:20] {bruce} its at support
[16:20] {bruce} but no sign of a reversal here
[16:22] {bruce} hope it works out
[16:25] {dino} small position, not too worried
[16:27] {bruce} I've been learning lots from you
[16:27] {bruce} want to thank you
[16:27] {bruce} still not able to read spikes -
[16:28] {bruce} \but I think I can see some progress on reading slower reversals
[16:28] {bruce} night all
[16:34] {dino} you're doing fine bruce, i see it. you're very good at capitulations
