[10:36] {jfjf64} this wfmi drivin me crazy hv stop at .85
[10:37] {jfjf64} showin strong
[10:39] {Threei} a lot of talk about 2B investment in car batteries development
[10:40] {Threei} I have ABAT on top of my memory
[10:40] {Threei} anything else?
[10:40] {BillyD} can't remeber
[10:41] {BillyD} can't spell either
[10:41] {Threei} welkome to ze klub
[10:42] {jfjf64} jpm vad ya lk 41 break or traap
[10:42] {Threei} with stop under .90, it's a valid try
[10:43] {jfjf64} too fast pass
[10:44] {Threei} 1:1
[10:44] {Threei} the way to enter this kind, when it's a bit too fast on a break, you don't want to chase and don't want to get filled on the way back when it's exhausted
[10:44] {jfjf64} reads there fingers too slow
[10:44] {Threei} enter limit at the price you are willing to chase to,
[10:45] {Threei} let's say 41.03
[10:45] {ese} are you in jpm jf?
[10:45] {jfjf64} nope
[10:45] {Threei} if it gets you in, fine, play it from normal risk reward ratio point of view,
[10:45] {Threei} if miss, keep an order in for a fill on pause BUT
[10:45] {ese} that was a good call
[10:45] {Threei} cancel it if a stock reaches 1:1
[10:46] {jfjf64} makes sence even with 2500 to 3000 shares
[10:46] {jfjf64} ??
[10:46] {Threei} you may still want it if it pauses and pulls back slightly from let's say 41.05 - 06
[10:46] {Threei} but if it reaches 1:1 and drops all the way back into trigger, it's a different ballgame,
[10:47] {Threei} you now need to re-evaluate whether a play still valid as conservative entry
[10:47] {Threei} or it was just a scalp and it's ovewr
[10:47] {Threei} as a first idea what to look for:
[10:47] {ese} yes
[10:47] {Threei} if it drops back into 41, stalls,
[10:47] {ese} quick in and out
[10:48] {Threei} makes little move up and down between 41 and 41.05
[10:48] {Threei} you may want a new entry on .05 break,
[10:48] {Threei} but the huge difference with original idea will be:
[10:48] {Threei} your stop now is under 41, not under 40.90 as it would be with original entry
[10:48] {Threei} see what I mean by saying it's a new game?
[10:49] {jfjf64} thanks i follow
[10:50] {patel} Threei, thoughts on T
[10:50] {Threei} I'll try hood, fake mostauge and dark sunglasses tomorrow... will see how successful you are then

[10:51] {Threei} if stays under .80
[10:51] {patel} yes i like it short below 70
[10:51] {patel} 10 cents risk
[10:51] {patel} are you seeing that
[10:51] {jfjf64} double bottom lower vad or bounce market
[10:51] {Threei} that's what I said patel :)
[10:51] {Threei} rather breakdown and further down jf...
[10:52] {patel} lol

[10:53] {Threei} US) Treasury Dept: Need to act in a way that clearly shows the market that Govt is set on serious financial reforms

[10:54] {Threei} need to act in a way to show something?
[10:54] {Threei} if you ARE serious about it, why not just proceed and do it?

[10:55] {Threei} or resist it?
[10:55] {Threei} or fight it?

[15:10] {magoo} we in anything?
[15:10] {magoo} fell asleeop
06[15:10] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large alarm clock
[15:13] {Threei} heh... HEV shakeout
[15:13] {Threei} some stocks just have dishusting manners, I noticed...
[15:13] {Threei} who brought them up like this
[15:15] {patel} that shakeout was wrong
[15:15] {patel} i took a pretty big hit on that one
[15:17] {Threei} original stop was 5-7 cents, with slippage could have easily been about 12 on that
[15:18] {patel} i got hit for about 13 cents
[15:18] {Threei} if this is big hit for you, you should really re-think share size and/or trading thin stocks altogether
[15:18] {Threei} I mean come on... 13 cents equals big hit??
[15:18] {Threei} what kind of profits are you aiming for?
[15:19] {magoo} how many shares u take?
[15:19] {patel} i didnt get hit bad but it turned my profit for the day near 0
[15:19] {patel} i only took 400 shares
[15:19] {magoo} vad, u or i??
[15:19] {Threei} I don't understand it
06[15:20] * magoo slaps Threei around a bit with a large trout
[15:20] {Threei} something isn't right with trade/risk management
06[15:20] * magoo slaps patel around a bit with a large trout
06[15:20] * magoo slaps patel around a bit with a large trout
06[15:20] * magoo slaps patel around a bit with a large trout
[15:20] {patel} we talked earlier about it and it seems i am paying 2 much in commissions.
[15:23] {dptl} ok....have a good evening all,see ya tomorrow
[15:23] {Threei} doesn't sound like that's the only issue... something else is off
[15:23] {Threei} tajke care dp
[15:24] {_prth} 400 shares does not give you enough profit to scale
[15:25] {Threei} not really, unless it's a big mover
[15:26] {Threei} it's either training size, or a size for a very volatile stock
[15:26] {Threei} where risk control doesn't allow for tight stosp
[15:27] {_prth} and setting hard stops will get him taken out at a really bad fill depending on broker
[15:27] {patel} i stopped using hard stops
[15:27] {Threei} yikes
[15:27] {Threei} no way
[15:28] {magoo} but .13 cents on 400 is 52 bux correct?
[15:28] {patel} i was using hard stops but few days ago AKAM took me out
[15:28] {patel} and went up
[15:28] {patel} yes
[15:28] {patel} okay i traded BAC made over 90 dollars ont hat trade
[15:28] {_prth} so where did nvax fill at on the stop this morning and add commissions to that
[15:29] {patel} then i took LLTC made about 18 dollars on that
[15:29] {patel} then i got stopped on NVAX
[15:29] {Threei} hard stop is for the case whn you have to leave your computer unattanded
[15:29] {Threei} better than no stop at all
[15:29] {patel} and hten i got stopped otu for HEV
[15:29] {Threei} but when you can contorl events, use manual one
[15:30] {patel} slippages on NVAX was 5 cents
[15:30] {patel} slippage on HEV was about 4 cents
[15:30] {Threei} 18 dollars on LLTC?
[15:30] {patel} yes
[15:30] {patel} i took 200 off hte table on 1:1
[15:31] {patel} then put the rest at breakeven
[15:31] {patel} i am not complaining its just I need to know what I am doing wrong and make my trade management better
[15:34] {_prth} the percentage of dollars is high on commissions when trading smaller size if paying a flat rate, if you use per share cost platform then it be more cost effective with smaller size
[15:35] {patel} prth, i am paying .01 cents a share
[15:36] {Threei} that's twice the rate we are paying
[15:37] {Threei} great... now HEV is doing what I envisioned
[15:38] {_prth} that is $10 for a thousand shares, do you pay ecn fees too?
[15:38] {Threei} ECN is pass-through both ways for us
[15:38] {Threei} fee or rebate, dependinh on removing or adding liquidity
[15:39] {_prth} is patel with the same broker?
[15:39] {Threei} no
[15:40] {Threei} he pays .01/shre... we .005
[15:40] {magoo} which is more lol
06[15:40] * Threei slaps magoo around a bit with a large large abakcus since calculator is too complicated for magoo
[15:40] {_prth} well that is a big difference especially for scalping size
[15:41] {jfjf64} l met .05 break
[15:42] {patel} yup
[15:42] {patel} no ecn fees
[15:42] {patel} i get rebates and everything
[15:42] {patel} pretty much the same as you guys but the commisisons is doubled
[15:42] {Threei} hmmm... no fees but rebates?
[15:42] {patel} yes
[15:43] {Threei} something isn't right :)
[15:43] {patel} as long as I am sending the order through PFSI i pay no fees
[15:43] {patel} but i have to use INTEL and ARCAL for rebates
[15:43] {patel} what kind of fees do you have to pay threei
[15:43] {Threei} on add liquidity side only
[15:44] {Threei} you can do it using GETCO route for entry and ECN for exit with Laser
[15:44] {jfjf64} in
[15:44] {patel} pj plau
[15:45] {patel} oh okay
[15:47] {jfjf64} grrr
