Dec 11 00:00:01 2008

Great start of the day with silver and gold stocks. Drab afternoon with some scalps, some stops - pretty much a wash. On the total, another nice day that we could pretty much end in an hour after open. Had a chance for a nice real time demonstration of trades based on former resistance/new support.

[08:30] {Threei}  yikes
[08:31] {Threei}  *OCT TRADE BALANCE: -$57.2B V -$53.5BE
[08:39] {Threei}  DRYS
[08:39] {Threei}  10.02 yest low
[08:39] {Threei}  loses 10 now
[08:40] {Threei}  small shares short
[08:40] {Threei}  ugh
[08:40] {Threei}  don't chase
[08:42] {Threei}  got just 200 shares
[08:42] {Threei}  hardly worth much... but will consider it morning warm-up
[08:42] {Threei}  covered half .80
[08:43] {Threei}  ummm... half of 200 shares {G}
[08:43] {_elepet} I am having trouble understanding what goes on.  could you please explain in detail what you just did?
[08:43] {Threei}  shorted 10 breakdown on DRYS
[08:44] {Threei}  out 9.59
[08:45] {Threei}  [08:39] {Threei} 10.02 yest low
[08:45] {Threei}  [08:39] {Threei} loses 10 now
[08:45] {Threei}  [08:40] {Threei} small shares short
[08:45] {Threei}  two days support breakdown
[08:45] {Threei}  serves as short trigger
[08:46] {Threei}  helps, elepet?
[08:47] {_elepet} a bit.  now it has started back up. shorts covering?
[08:47] {Threei}  and borttom fishing
[08:47] {_elepet} would you consider buying long at any oint?
[08:48] {Threei}  not yet
[08:50] {Threei}  I don't enter randomly... need a setup
[08:50] {Threei}  that breakdown was one
[08:51] {Threei}  bounce was from arbitrary point, can't read it
[08:51] {_elepet} please explain "setup" in this situation.
[08:51] {Threei}  setup is a certain chart formation
[08:51] {Threei}  providing favorable odds
[09:01] {_elepet} If two days breakin support triggers short, is there anything like that which triggers long?
[09:02] {_elepet} I am somewhat "chart challanged"
[09:03] {_elepet} watching tape, i would have gone long again at about 10.10
[09:04] {Threei}  there are a lot of setups
[09:04] {Threei}  can't really answer that without retyping two books here :)

[09:08] {tomg} vad, can you look back at 13:49 yesterday and tell me what setup you saw for Q's?
[09:10] {Threei}  pullback after breakout, conservative entry
[09:11] {tomg} ok, ty but it's hard for me to see that one
[09:12] {Threei}  didn't work anyway
[09:12] {Threei}  so who cares {G}
[09:12] {tomg} i saw h&s and failure to make new highs at about 13:17
[09:12] {tomg} i care
[09:13] {tomg} for next time :)
[09:14] {lisa_jay} Charts can be seen differently by different folks.  Just control risk and trade sestup.  Dinoism, Vadism.
[09:14] {tomg} just don't see breakout point, that's all
[09:15] {Threei}  let's try to go over it when it appears next time, easier for me to do it when it's fresh

[11:26] {Threei}  rofl
[11:26] {Threei}  what imagination
[11:26] {Geo} 1220 break short NQ in hindsight
[11:26] {dino} lol it does
[11:38] {Threei}  if you had this setup, why not short it on bounce into new resistance/former broken asupport?
[11:38] {Threei}  perfectly touched 1220 on bounce and dropped back
[11:39] {lisa_jay} That would be conservative entry Vad?
[11:39] {lisa_jay} for Double top?
[11:40] {patience} hey dino, how do we close today?
[11:43] {dino} wmt hl .50 l
[11:43] {dino} up the gut says
[11:43] {patience} ty
[11:44] {dino} axys no mercy
[11:45] {Threei}  yes lisa, plus this idea of support becoming resistance
[11:46] {lisa_jay} Ok, thanks Vad.
[11:47] {Threei}  let's do a quick educational review
[11:47] {Threei}  have a look at GG 1 minute
[11:47] {wishbone} ya
[11:48] {Threei}  from 1_45 to 11:20 roughly, it established .50 as support
[11:48] {Threei}  from 10:45
[11:48] {Threei}  11:24 it broke down
[11:48] {Threei}  now, after the drop, bounce reached this level
[11:49] {Threei}  now it served as resistance, and GG dropped off of it
[11:49] {Threei}  made higher low and restested resistance again,
[11:49] {Threei}  with higher low it became more likely to break it this time which it did
[11:50] {Threei}  after break it retreated twice into this former resistance, now support
[11:50] {Threei}  and both times held it, making it possible entry on a long side.
[11:50] {lisa_jay} yes
[11:51] {Threei}  when such pronounced levels are being established, there is ample opportunity for scalpers to play around it
[11:51] {lisa_jay} Vad, when there is a pullback, how do you determine when to enter.
[11:52] {Threei}  pretty much discretionary,
[11:52] {Threei}  general idea is:
[11:52] {lisa_jay} On first sign of strength? or put order in to be hit (which sometimes it does not).
[11:52] {Threei}  when it nears such level close enough for your risk comfort, you are watching for signs of strength resuming
[11:53] {dino} axys sm l .00
[11:54] {lisa_jay} GG goint to retest the .50 level again.
[11:55] {lisa_jay} Took 10c on it Thanks Vad.
[11:55] {Threei}  notice how lower Bollinger band came into .50 at the same time
[11:56] {Threei}  worked perfetcly
[11:56] {Threei}  and lisa profited from very fresh lesson
[11:56] {Threei}  lol
[11:56] {Threei}  could it be any more perfect
[11:56] {wishbone} kick ass....thanks Vad...nice work Lisa:)
[11:56] {Threei}  theory lesson turning into profit 3 mnutes later
[11:56] {lisa_jay} Thanks Wishbone.
[11:57] {Threei}  you guys must allow me one not funny joke for that... and laugh at it
[11:57] {lisa_jay} ok
[11:57] {wishbone} no arguments here!
[11:59] {wishbone} vad would you describe some signs strength?
[12:00] {Geo} forgot your setting vad
[12:00] {Geo} mind sharing the BB setting again?
