[08:01] {_xzap} hi magoo

[08:15] {_xzap} howdy Vad

[08:25] {Threei} RANIAN OIL MIN CONFIRMS OPEC MEETING IN NOV
[08:26] {Threei} they are so concerned with falling oil price... as if under 100 is unacceptable low
[08:26] {Threei} many years it traded way lower and they still were the richest nations
[08:27] {Threei} now anything under 100 is too low for them
[08:28] {_xzap} Vad, do you think Q3 earnings misses (I'm assuming a lot miss) are already priced in the mkt?
[08:29] {Threei} on a large scale, I think it either is, or it just won't be a major driving factor
[08:29] {Threei} on company by company basis it could matter
[08:29] {Threei} overall, greater concerns should overtake
[08:30] {Threei} everyone knows economy is slow
[08:30] {Threei} so low earnings won't be of any surprise
[08:30] {Threei} INITIAL CLIAMS: 478K V 475KE; CONTINUING CLAIMS: 3.659M V 3.608ME
[08:30] {Threei} - Prior Initial Jobless Claims from 497K to 498K

[08:32] {Threei} OK, I'll oblige
06[08:32] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large trout
[08:34] {esemde} Vad i'm trying to log onto the trading room from my new macbook but it won't accept my user and password

[09:46] {magoo} adbe or mkt?
[09:46] {Threei} either
[09:46] {Threei} OK, a bit better now
[09:46] {magoo} pretty volatile
[09:46] {Threei} watch RIMM around 61
[09:48] {Threei} ADBE .40 break, half lot
[09:48] {Threei} stop under .20
[09:49] {peterg} morning folks
[09:49] {Threei} peter :)
[09:50] {magoo} peterg:)
[09:50] {_xzap} selling pressure on DRYS
[09:50] {_xzap} hi peter
[09:51] {peterg} z!
[09:52] {_xzap} not seeing normal pullbacks, let's see what 10 - 10:15 brings
[09:54] {Threei} need NQ to break 1370 for the next leg up
[09:55] {_xzap} CSIQ meeting res @ 14.2
[09:55] {Threei} no worky ADBE
[09:56] {_xzap} ADBE coming back to pivot
[09:59] {Threei} MS got beaten to the pulp
[09:59] {Threei} tempted to short it
[09:59] {dptl} short ban expired...but in some stock in laser still give me error code
[09:59] {Threei} MS shortable
[10:00] {Threei} a bit too jumpy, hard to find entry
[10:00] {dptl} ohh...sorry....never mind last post:)
[10:01] {Threei} if you went for breakdown cover half here
[10:01] {Threei} 14 is coming it seems
[10:02] {_xzap} bid ADBE @ 29.9
[10:03] {_xzap} in 29.9
[10:04] {dptl} flex?
[10:05] {Threei} chart is right, but it's a slow one
[10:05] {Threei} can torture you for hours
[10:05] {_xzap} what isn't slow *LOL*
[10:05] {dptl} ok ty
[10:05] {Threei} MS isn't {G}
[10:07] {Threei} if you are willing to give it chance, 5.42 long with .35 stop
[10:07] {Threei} if loses .35, let it pull back deper
[10:07] {dptl} that was a plan
[10:09] {Threei} NTAP
[10:09] {Threei} ugh... jumped while I typed
[10:10] {Threei} pullback into .80 -.85 area
[10:11] {Threei} if no pullback and market jumps agian, .95 long with .84 stop
[10:13] {_xzap} Out ADBE 30.30 + .40
[10:13] {Threei} good one
[10:13] {_xzap} thx Vad
[10:16] {_xzap} watching QSFT for 11.4
[10:16] {Threei} stop NTAP .79 who got it on pullback
[10:16] {Threei} you actually have a scalp here
[10:16] {Threei} but I'd prefer to try and hold it for break
[10:17] {Threei} risk is so miniscule
[10:17] {Threei} or let's partial
[10:17] {Threei} half out .97
[10:18] {Threei} now think of NTAP in these terms:
[10:18] {Threei} your risk is afew cents here,
[10:19] {Threei} if market stages this nice slow confident climb here, NTAP can go quite nicely
[10:19] {Threei} 14.50 is not out of question
[10:19] {Threei} so, either keep your stop under .80 and forget about second half
[10:19] {Threei} or just take profit on jump after 14 break
[10:19] {Threei} personal choice really
[10:24] {Threei} GM... sheesh
[10:25] {Threei} are we about to lose our automaking industry?
[10:26] {peterg} cant short it
[10:27] {peterg} just as well
[10:27] {Threei} probably not all bans are flashed out of the system yet
[10:29] {Threei} Short Setup: IBM 92 breakl small shares
[10:30] {Threei} feel free to cover as you see fit
[10:30] {Threei} easy and quick 40 something cents
[10:33] {_xzap} watching DRYS for 20.8 - 21, at 76% Fib retrace now
[10:33] {Threei} full buck now IBM
[10:33] {Threei} not watching anymore, anyone who took it is too deep in the money to need any further comments
[10:34] {Threei} and if you all ignored it, tell me so I just go sleep
[10:36] {Threei} Long Setup: ADBE 30.03
[10:36] {Threei} srtop under 29.90
[10:37] {Threei} half out ADBE .20
[10:37] {Threei} scalpers are out in full
[10:38] {Threei} stop to .95
[10:39] {Threei} am I alone in here?
[10:39] {_xzap} nope

[10:40] {Onix} no
[10:40] {Onix} in ADBE @ .06
[10:40] {Threei} never have I seen such grave silence greeting one profitable call after another
[10:40] {peterg} in and out abde for a penny

[10:41] {Threei} how come you take a penny?
[10:41] {peterg} in at .12, out going down at .13
[10:41] {_xzap} watching CSIQ for 13.3
[10:41] {GeoArb} wow late peterg
[10:41] {peterg} slow reflexes?
[10:41] {peterg} too late huh
[10:42] {Threei} .12 vs .03 trigger? that's a lot of chasing
[10:42] {GeoArb} well umm i didnt do better than .06
[10:42] {peterg} buy limit?
[10:42] {Threei} limit a few cents above market
[10:42] {Threei} I'd say .06 - .07 limt if trigger is .03
[10:42] {peterg} when you publish the move, it has already moved up
[10:43] {_xzap} DRYS reaching pivot
[10:43] {Threei} ADBE was .02 at the moment
[10:43] {Threei} if you miss it, wait for pullback
[10:43] {Threei} but chasing that high?
[10:43] {peterg} just shooting at it with mkt order
[10:43] {Threei} no, not on volatile stock
[10:43] {peterg} determined to get on board can be mistake i guess
[10:43] {Threei} market order is fine for a thick slow ones
[10:43] {Threei} with a lot of liquidity
[10:44] {peterg} this is why I am trying to figure out keys
[10:44] {peterg} because fiddling around wi level 11 mouse key change and setting price too clumsy
[10:44] {peterg} time consuming
[10:44] {peterg} miss moves
[10:44] {Threei} even with mouse... just click on level 2 couple levels above your trigger
[10:44] {Threei} and lick limit buy
[10:44] {Threei} kclick
[10:44] {Threei} sheesh
[10:44] {Threei} lol

[10:47] {Threei} let's assume you want to buy it

[10:49] {Threei} no
[10:49] {Threei} it's an example :)
[10:49] {peterg} ck
[10:49] {Threei} if a stock waits for you, great
[10:49] {peterg} so ia am set to hit buy with a limit of 1.12
[10:49] {Threei} you'll get your 1.10
[10:50] {Threei} if it tick fast,
[10:50] {Threei} you may get 1.10, 1.11 and 1.12
[10:50] {Threei} possibly in partials
[10:50] {peterg} but I have a shot at getting it if it moves up fast, right?
[10:50] {Threei} but if it got away completely
[10:50] {peterg} but i dont get stock if goes up too much
[10:50] {Threei} your order will post 1.12 bid
[10:50] {Threei} without chasing it into too sharp spike
[10:50] {GeoArb} ahhh that i didnt know
[10:51] {Threei} Now, if you still want it on a pullback, leave your bid there
[10:51] {peterg} feels good to have training wheels on again.
[10:51] {Threei} if not, click cancel
[10:52] {peterg} ok, lets party! THanks vad and team

[10:53] {Threei} having traded with direct access broker from 1997
[10:53] {GeoArb} laser is cannon and can be configured six ways from sunday

[10:55] {GeoArb} missed exit
[10:55] {peterg} when watching RIMM, hard to pick prices because of the speed of change.
[10:55] {Threei} true
[10:55] {Threei} there are a few strategies for different routes,
[10:56] {peterg} mmmm?
[10:56] {Threei} I keep giving myself a word to get deeper into them
[10:56] {Threei} to see if there is something we cluld use
[10:56] {GeoArb} ??
[10:56] {Threei} but laziness takes over every time
[10:56] {Threei} OK, look here:
[10:56] {Threei} Trade - Routing Strategy

[11:52] {Threei} just be quick on both sides
[11:52] {magoo} u up today vad?
[11:53] {Threei} don't know why but trading today is very nervous
[11:53] {Threei} much more so that yesterday
[11:53] {magoo} agree
[11:53] {_xzap} agree
[11:53] {magoo} people been kicked so hard and so many times....flinching
[11:53] {_xzap} TICK can't get above 350
[11:54] {patience} waiting for direction to emerge

[11:55] {GeoArb} -698
[11:55] {Threei} that is one reason mags,
[11:55] {Threei} another is
[11:55] {magoo} if we had finished strong
[11:55] {magoo} today would have rocked
[11:55] {Threei} I see this situation as accumulation by smart money starting
[11:55] {_xzap} Geo, the $USQ/TICK ?
[11:56] {Threei} and on early stages of accumulation smart money is not interested in sending prices skyrocketing
[11:56] {Threei} it's only happy to keep prices down if if it takes some selling
[11:56] {magoo} are we smart $$ he he
[11:56] {magoo} or just smart *sses?
[11:57] {_xzap} RIMM well below dt line
[11:57] {GeoArb} i use TICK-NYSE from InteractiveBrokers

[13:47] {Threei} what do I miss? :)
[13:49] {_xzap} I can't trade this crazy mess
[13:50] {Threei} come on... look at magoo and trade BIDU with him
[13:50] {Threei} but don't be a wuss he is

[13:51] {_xzap} let's watch AAPL for a bounce
[13:51] {Threei} PERUVIAN STOCK MARKET HAS REPORTEDLY BEEN HALTED DUE TO FALL OF MORE THAN 6.5%
[13:51] {Threei} what's with whole world being hatled twice a day
[13:52] {_xzap} slower collapse
[13:52] {_xzap} I say pull the circuit breakers. let it drop and get it over with
[13:52] {magoo} if IF the mkt turns up HARD{risky disclaimer here} 100 sh bidu goog cme could mak big points...i hate CME tho
[13:52] {Threei} AAPL, I'll get interested closer to 91
[13:53] {Threei} possibly under
[13:53] {_xzap} I'm looking at 90.6
[13:53] {magoo} it all depends if we ever get that psycho launch up everyone wants..1000 points
[13:54] {_xzap} not me Mag, I wanna see 1000 down
[13:54] {magoo} sadist he he
[13:55] {_xzap} missed AAPL Vad

[13:56] {Threei} these sudden apikes come out of nowhere

[13:57] {_xzap} these spikes are MM's taking people's $$
[13:58] {Threei} hmmm
[13:58] {Threei} that's questionable
[13:58] {_xzap} look at AAPL
[13:58] {_xzap} 1 point run and now pullback
[13:58] {Threei} this would assume that MMs can simply assign prices
[13:58] {Threei} they can't
[13:59] {Threei} price change requires actual trades
[13:59] {_xzap} but they can sit on mkt orders . korect?
[13:59] {Threei} if you imply that all MMs somehow agreed to hit offers at the same time...
[13:59] {Threei} so what?
[13:59] {Threei} how does it explain such spikes?
[14:00] {Threei} don't buy into these conspiracy theories
[14:00] {Threei} how many MMs are there?
[14:00] {_xzap} i dunno
[14:00] {Threei} not 3 and not 10
[14:00] {Chaeron} (let's see... there's red, green, blue... :) sorry

[14:01] {GeoArb} nice
[14:01] {magoo} its what i do
[14:01] {Threei} you think it's really possible they all quickly phoned each other and agreed to do something coordinated at the same time?
[14:01] {GeoArb} heheh vad
[14:01] {Chaeron} they don't even like each other
[14:01] {Threei} it's a dog eat dog
[14:01] {GeoArb} yeah !!!
[14:02] {GeoArb} ask chaer he was one of em
[14:02] {Threei} 2 of them may conspire
[14:02] {Chaeron} Vad showed me the light
[14:02] {Threei} for some particular case
[14:02] {Threei} 20? 200?
[14:02] {Threei} come on :)
[14:02] {_xzap} ok, is it smart money easing in?
[14:02] {Threei} if that possible then goverment organized 9/11
[14:02] {Chaeron} and if 2 conspire, one of them is going to try to screw the other on the deal they agreed on
[14:02] {magoo} out 340.03
[14:03] {_xzap} oh hell no !
[14:03] {Threei} and US never go to the moon,
[14:03] {_xzap} no no no
[14:03] {Threei} it's all Hollywood production
[14:03] {Threei} exactly chaeron :)
[14:03] {_xzap} I don't subscribe to conspiracies
[14:03] {Chaeron} cartels same way
[14:03] {Threei} MMs do make money on oredinary people most of the time, sure
[14:04] {magoo} i do..dino messed up my dsl on tues right vad
[14:04] {Threei} but not because they possess these p;owers to manipulate prices or can conspire to do so
[14:04] {_xzap} BUCY looks good at 32.2
[14:04] {Threei} lol mags
[14:05] {magoo} the prob we are having is everyone BUT everyone wants and EXPECTS a huge rally
[14:05] {magoo} mkt can not allow this to happen..needs few on board
[14:06] {magoo} scary thought is we need to crash again FIRST
[14:06] {magoo} god forbid
[14:06] {magoo} lions and tigers and BEARS OH MY
[14:06] {_xzap} now BUCY is rolling over
[14:07] {_xzap} we have to have a BIG sell off Mag
[14:07] {magoo} scary thought xzazp
[14:07] {_xzap} to shake the few apples left off the tree
[14:07] {magoo} hey..u joining the room bro?
[14:07] {magoo} your pretty good
[14:08] {_xzap} I might but I might wait til there's more vol
[14:08] {magoo} come on..u dont think vads made you the $250 month fee in one day?
[14:08] {GeoArb} is it 250?
[14:08] {_xzap} some days I think I know what I'm doing but wanted someone like Vad to confirm
[14:08] {GeoArb} darn
[14:09] {magoo} well..for me he surcharges 350
[14:09] {GeoArb} whats it now vad?
[14:09] {magoo} on probation from nesi days
[14:09] {_xzap} I thought there was a 1 year free trial
[14:09] {GeoArb} nesi?
[14:09] {magoo} never mind
[14:10] {magoo} i been here awhile
[14:10] {GeoArb} :)
[14:10] {_xzap} BUCY trying again
[14:10] {hawkfan4} lol mags
[14:12] {_xzap} Vad, you like BUCY at 32.2 ?
[14:12] {Threei} only if market resumes upward
[14:12] {_xzap} that could happen any second
[14:13] {Threei} watch how it's holding while market's downticking
[14:13] {_xzap} financials losing sup
[14:14] {Threei} not bad overall
[14:14] {Threei} a bit too volatile but it's stronger than market
[14:14] {Threei} I wouldn't wait for .21
[14:14] {Threei} I'd try to get it aggressively as soon as market turns
[14:14] {Threei} and go for a scalp
[14:15] {Threei} there you go
[14:15] {Threei} .95 in
[14:15] {Threei} offer for a scalp
[14:16] {Threei} much more reliable than breaks in this environment
[14:16] {_xzap} I just used to trading breaks
[14:16] {_xzap} never tried scalping
[14:16] {Threei} different methods for different markets
[14:17] {Threei} pure breaks rarely work in jerky markets
[14:17] {Threei} out .11 and .12
[14:17] {_xzap} but man when this mkt turns, the breaks will be long runs
[14:17] {Threei} yeah but we trade today
[14:17] {Threei} and today this kind of entries works better
[14:17] {Threei} roll with punches
[14:18] {_xzap} understood
[14:18] {_xzap} short JRCC ?
[14:19] {Threei} it's not at the breakdown point
[14:19] {Threei} it would be a chasing here
[14:19] {Threei} let it bounce or consolidate
[14:20] {_xzap} it's been consolidating for quite a while
[14:20] {magoo} my god..shorts are back..cme now avail short..and its crushed
[14:20] {magoo} u think correlation vad
[14:20] {Threei} yes but it was consolidating higher
[14:20] {Threei} not here
[14:20] {Threei} here it's already on the run
[14:20] {Threei} most harmful thing you can do in jerky market is chase
[14:21] {Threei} because of sharp snpabacksa
[14:26] {_xzap} Do you read candles as part of your decision Vad ?
[14:26] {magoo} aapl vad?
[14:26] {Threei} as in japanese candlesticks?
[14:26] {_xzap} yeah, can dlesticks

[14:54] {Threei} gues what Paulson told in the spring of 2007 to audience at Shanghai exchange

[14:55] {Threei} lookie what paulson does just one year later

[15:36] {Threei} after some consolidation
[15:36] {GeoArb} fast
[15:36] {_xzap} so you would not have shorted at 13.8 ?

[15:42] {_xzap} Hey Vad, do we short AA under 13
[15:42] {Threei} I don't
[15:42] {Threei} it fell much less than market did
[15:42] {Threei} relative strength
