Feb 09 2009

Couple trades worked like charm in the morning, and that's when we should have just gone back to sleep. Whole rest of the day with rare exceptions was just a colossal waste of time and cutting into morning profits.
 
Session Time: Mon Feb 09 00:00:00 2009

[09:50] {ese} dino vphm?
[09:51] {dino} celg
[09:51] {dino} sm l .40
[09:53] {Threei} Long Setup:  STT  .20 break half lot
[09:53] {Threei}  stop under 31
[09:53] {dino} hmmm
[09:53] {dino} vphm around the lows maybe, lots of q's on it
[09:54] {dino} i'll watch for feel

[09:55] {ese} Q's dino??
[09:55] {Threei}  HIG really consolidates for anothermarch up it seems

[09:56] {dino} don't usually trade them
[09:57] {dino} celg rinse r oni
[09:58] {dino} dltr stop to .49

[09:58] {Threei}  STT bounced precisely off .51 but I don't think it gave an entry chance
[09:59] {nemo} dino, you get alot of milk out of that cow
[09:59] {dino} lol
[09:59] {dino} well if its' free....

[10:01] {dino} wmt gap around 48.50 fwiw
[10:02] {dino} gj cujo
[10:02] {dino} stepping back for min.
[10:04] {Threei}  FAS, if drops qwuickly into .60 area is bounce candidate
[10:09] {Threei}  these bounces are occuring off readable zones but not exact prices for the call
[10:09] {Threei}  kind of "if you get a read on it, great, if not stay away"
[10:09] {nemo} so we have to go with French ranges as opposed to German precision?
[10:10] {Threei}  that's often the case
[10:10] {Threei}  pullbacks in an uptrend are easier to nail down to exact price
[10:10] {Threei}  but we don't have uptrend today so far
[10:11] {nemo} Well, considering Thu and Fri, some consolidation would be in order.  We are in a Depression you know...
[10:11] {dino} itt sm l off the hod
[10:12] {Threei}  OK{ looks like change of heart in the market
[10:12] {Threei} Long Setup:  HIG  half lot .10 break

[10:37] {Threei}  ok... as if whole thing was not complicated enough, they misspell vital parts... like senate lunch menu
[10:38] {dino} :)
[10:38] {Threei}  yes nemo but I hate playing breaks on it
[10:38] {dino} new chef i think, need details
[10:39] {nemo} afraid it might be a topping formation?
[10:39] {Threei}  it's generally not a breakout stock
[10:39] {Threei}  behaves well on pullbacks if nail entry right, but usually disappoints on breaks
[10:40] {Threei}  1/4 more out .64
[10:40] {Threei}  last portion with stop under .20
[10:41] {nemo} well, looks like its breaking today, bummer
[10:41] {cosmo} solr
[10:41] {cosmo} 5.50
[10:42] {cosmo} so far
[10:43] {_bobv} es futures moving higher, possible breakout of day highs
[10:46] {Threei}  see nemo?
[10:46] {Threei}  break would have trapped you
[10:46] {nemo} I bow to you oh, master...
[10:47] {cujo} Hawk, any read GS?
[10:48] {hawkfan4} working off my backup computer, looks risky here, but my setup is a mess at the moment
06[10:48] * magoo slaps hawkfan4 around a bit with a large cup of coffee to WAKE up
[10:49] {hawkfan4} should go with the market though
[10:49] {Threei}  pullback into .50 however would be a clean scalp
[10:49] {Threei}  I don't like that HIG is not making new highs with market anymore
[10:49] {Threei}  dumping last 1/4

06[12:56] * nemo throws a reverse long side kick at aapl
[12:57] {magoo} dude..wrong end
[12:58] {nemo} sorry...
[12:58] {nemo} It usually works on real bodies
[12:58] {nemo} might get your FAS pullback
[13:00] {Threei}  feels like FAS just wants to go up into the finanscial rescue package announcement, setting the trap for buyers on announcement itself
[13:00] {nemo} Didn't it peak out @ about 12 recently
[13:01] {Threei}  12.33
[13:01] {Threei}  01/28
[13:01] {nemo} That would be coincidental with the announcement.  Yep, scary
[13:02] {Threei}  market next leg up is coming
[13:02] {nemo} Where to mon frere?
[13:03] {Threei}  should tag day high this time, then consolidate again
[13:04] {Threei}  SMSC
[13:04] {Threei}  GUIDES Q4 AT HIGH END OF R$45-51M V $47.1ME, GUIDES Q1 HIGHER THAN Q4 V $53.3ME

[13:09] {larisa} similar to daytraders, flexible and change their mind a lot
[13:09] {vint} looks like FAS has few more days on upside
[13:12] {nemo} Interesting for you history buffs. GE's 52 week low was 10.66
[13:15] {hawkfan4} GS coiled
[13:16] {vint} vad- time for HIG to breakout? up or down...moving in very narrow range?
[13:16] {Threei}  I'd leave this thing alone
[13:16] {Threei}  doesn't go with financials
[13:16] {Threei}  doesn't go with market
[13:16] {Threei}  nothing to hang your hat on
[13:16] {vint} got it, thanks
06[13:18] * nemo says pretty please to apple for Magus
[13:20] {Threei}  what's this about?
[13:21] {nemo} You mean the pull back?
[13:21] {Threei}  if you can call it that
[13:21] {Threei}  rather like smashing one's forehead of lamp post and dropping like a potato bag
[13:22] {nemo} When did we go out drinking?
[13:24] {magoo} ill be back..gotta reboot
[13:25] {nemo} Mags must be watching porn again

[13:36] {Threei}  not sure, not much life to it today
[13:36] {dawg} k
06[13:38] * Threei kicks market, FAS and neighbor passing by in the rear
[13:38] {nemo} wow, you're flexible
[13:42] {nemo} eh...lunch doesn't get over for another 20 minutes
[13:43] {Threei}  half out .30

[13:47] {Threei}  if goes up, looking to sell around .40 or higher, and enter STT on .50 break if stays above .35
[13:47] {Threei}  half lot for STT
[13:47] {nemo} stt

[13:54] {nemo} Why should things change?
[13:56] {Threei}  FR) FRENCH WORKER UNIONS REPORTEDLY ASKING FOR A NATIONWIDE STRIKE ON MARCH 19 FOR PROTESTS OVER ECONOMIC SITUATION -

[14:12] {Threei}  market is badly confused about what it wants
[14:13] {vint} did FAS developed bear flag and going down ?
[14:13] {Threei}  ummm
[14:13] {Threei}  contradictive sentence
[14:14] {Threei}  for a bear flag it had to show small bounce on a shallow volume

[14:14] {vint} oh..yes
[14:14] {vint} thanks!

[14:25] {hawkfan4} ok, thx
[14:26] {Threei}  selling accelerates
[14:26] {Threei}  no news
[14:28] {Threei}  market often experiences hangover on Mondays, but with today's events and expectations feeling was it had a chance for more direction than this

[14:35] {nemo} 11
[14:35] {Threei}  .95 I don't know
[14:35] {Threei}  doesn't look right
[14:36] {Threei}  low is .93 on the last drop
[14:36] {nemo} quasi ouble bottom she's beggining upward wedge and it's after lunch now
[14:36] {Threei}  that's tru... just stop too tight
[14:37] {magoo} how about AAPL vad..strong

[14:38] {Threei}  can't tell anything on those two
[14:38] {magoo} with mkt of couser
[14:38] {Threei}  they don't have their own formations
[14:44] {Threei}  hate these sudden up and down jerky moves
[14:49] {magoo} i just luv 'um lol
[14:49] {Threei}  sigh
[14:51] {Threei} Long Setup:  DRYS  .40 break , stop under .25
[14:51] {Threei}  for scalpers stop under .30
[14:52] {cujo} in .43
[14:58] {Threei}  will we reverse today at all??
[15:01] {magoo} frustrating eh?
[15:02] {Threei}  feels like it's time
[15:04] {Threei}  but every time it's ready, it gets smacked down
[15:04] {Threei}  whoa
[15:04] {Threei}  DRYS

[15:05] {Threei}  thank you
[15:05] {larisa} yw

[15:05] {nemo} shaman people...geez
[15:06] {cujo} no, better lucky than good
[15:06] {nemo} oh
[15:07] {Threei}  larisa, if I buy DRYS again, will you do that once more?
[15:07] {larisa} no
[15:07] {Threei}  sigh
[15:08] {Threei}  no news to warrant that
[15:08] {Threei}  just teleportation
[15:08] {Threei}  oprogram trading gone wild
[15:09] {Threei}  having order out there at .55 was just what doctor prescibed
[15:10] {vint} mine was at .60
[15:10] {Threei}  3 cents shy
[15:10] {Threei}  topped at .57
[15:10] {vint} yep
[15:13] {Threei}  look at this chop
[15:14] {nemo} lota volatility in the S&P
[15:14] {Threei}  it;s scalpable, just dopn't chase anything
[15:14] {Threei}  these sharp drops are buyable for 10 cents spikes
[15:15] {nemo} yeah, might get reverse scalped
[15:15] {Threei}  DRYS just did it to .36 and back to .45
[15:15] {Threei}  FAS to 10.90 and back ro 11.04
[15:15] {dino}     zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[15:15] {Threei}  requires some steel body parts though
[15:16] {nemo} or zoloft
[15:17] {Threei}  vint... put order above .50 in on DRYS, in case it does it again
[15:17] {larisa} I made 2 snow people yesterday, snowgirl and snowguy. Hope neighbours will not call police on me.
[15:18] {vint} yep, trying at .55
[15:18] {Threei}  depends on how you equipped them
[15:18] {larisa} life like.. I am artsy, you know
[15:19] {nemo} I think positioning might be an issue
[15:19] {Threei}  lol
[15:19] {cosmo} abominal maybe?
[15:20] {larisa} lol, no :)
[15:21] {nemo} careful Mags might have to reboot again

[15:22] {larisa} 'ally, back to trading
06[15:22] * magoo slaps nemo around a bit with a large trout
[15:22] {magoo} oldie but goodie
[15:22] {nemo} nemo pulls off larisa's snow people's appendages and throws them at Magoo
[15:23] {nemo} oops, forgot.
[15:23] {cujo} Vad, PALM break above 8.15?

[15:24] {Threei}  PALM kind of take backseat in this battle of bills
[15:24] {cujo} got ya. 
[15:25] {dino} vrtx stop to .47
[15:25] {dino} stopped +.15, bad entry
[15:30] {Threei}  if market remains tru to its today's self, FAS should drop to under .20 now
[15:30] {Threei}  then spike to who knows where
[15:37] {Threei}  hard to imagine anyone willing to be short FAS into tomorrow
[15:37] {vint} not me
