[08:30] {nemo} yawn

[08:31] {Threei} totally

[08:35] {Raven} lol

[08:44] {fernp} Good morning everybody

[08:46] {Threei} fern :)

[08:46] {nemo} Que tal

[08:47] {fernp} todo va bien :-)

[08:47] {nemo} siempre bien.

[08:56] {Les} Morning :)

[08:56] {Threei} les :)

[08:57] {Les} right, lets talk about last trade for friday if you don't mind

[08:57] {Les} since you guys talked about it without me...

[08:57] {Les} :P

[08:58] {Threei} what else could we do if you left faster than we said a word

[08:58] {Les} http://up.widget.mibbit.com/up/Tod4FqQL.png

[08:58] {Les} 1st question

[08:58] {Les} trigger was .65 b/d. I bought at .65, fearing a drop into trigger - which subsequently happened

[08:59] {Les} is buying at this point your definition of aggressive entry?

[08:59] {Threei} me lost

[08:59] {Threei} bought?

[08:59] {Threei} it was a short

[08:59] {Les} ok ok

[08:59] {Les} shorted

[08:59] {Les} my bad

[09:00] {Threei} you shorted .65?

[09:00] {Threei} not how I remember it

[09:00] {Threei} you shorted higher

[09:00] {Les} yes. note how small bounce ensues following short before the stock drops

[09:00] {Threei} which was aggressive entry

[09:01] {Threei} re read whbat you said... it makes no sense

[09:01] {Threei} [08:58] {Les} trigger was .65 b/d. I shorted at .65, fearing a drop into trigger - which subsequently happened

[09:01] {Les} ok clarification required

[09:01] {Les} is .65 the trigger. or when the stock ticks down to .64?

[09:02] {Threei} I don't remember what it was fo this particular case

[09:02] {Threei} but it doesn't matter much

[09:02] {Threei} you shorted before any of that was reached

[09:02] {Les} I called .65 trigger, you said yes

[09:02] {Threei} and you shorted somewhere above .70

[09:03] {Les} no no no

[09:03] {Threei} which was, yes, aggressive entry

[09:03] {Les} I told you I was in when it was .70

[09:03] {Les} i had shorted at .65, at 2:27pm or thereabouts

[09:03] {Les} stock bounced back to .70, then dropped to .50

[09:03] {Threei} then you asked me after you shorted

[09:04] {Les} asked you what?

[09:04] {Threei} whether .65 short is valid

[09:04] {Threei} because between your question and your report of entering it didn't touch .65

[09:05] {Les} yes it did

[09:05] {Threei} it dropped to and under after you said you were in

[09:05] {Threei} which was why I asked whether you took aggressive entry

[09:06] {Les} ok, so I shorted at .65, its on my trade log, so it is not aggressive entry

[09:06] {Threei} no, it's not

[09:06] {Threei} and .85 is not the right stop,

[09:06] {Threei} it had resistance at .80

[09:07] {Threei} so you shorted before you asked me

[09:07] {Les} what difference?

[09:07] {Threei} huge

[09:07] {Les} why?

[09:07] {Threei} I am looking at different chart than the one you ,looked at when you enterted

[09:07] {Les} hmmm

[09:08] {Threei} to exaggerate an effect even more,

[09:08] {Threei} imagine that the stock went to .90 after your entry

[09:08] {Threei} and you ask me whether .65 is a triiger

[09:08] {Threei} would m y answer still be the same?

[09:09] {Les} I didn't fear reversal immediately after entry...

[09:09] {Threei} now,

[09:09] {Threei} after you asked me,

[09:09] {Threei} I looked at the chart

[09:09] {Threei} and saw a resistance at .80

[09:09] {Threei} because a stock bounced AFDTER your wentry

[09:09] {Threei} and never went above .80

[09:09] {dino} gm all

[09:09] {Threei} dino :)

[09:10] {Les} ok so you use the very last bounce as stop do you?

[09:10] {Threei} meaning, the p,ay I was answering you about is a different play than the one you envisioned when entered

[09:10] {Threei} that was the case in this situation

[09:10] {Les} ok, so I shouldn't have looked at the largest bounce prior to entry as stop?

[09:10] {Threei} and this bounce happened after your wentry and before my answer

[09:11] {Threei} I don't know - we are talking about two different plays now

[09:11] {Les} I was looking at previous bounce to .85 to place my stop. this was wrong?

[09:11] {Threei} and I never looked into one you describe now

[09:11] {Threei} [09:11] {Threei} I don't know - we are talking about two different plays now

[09:11] {Threei} 09:11] {Threei} and I never looked into one you describe now

[09:11] {Les} ok. I understand the play that you are envisioning

[09:11] {Threei} see, you are looking at things as if they were static

[09:11] {Les} so decisions for stops can be made with the very last bounce before entry, can they?

[09:12] {Threei} I don't know

[09:12] {Threei} if I looked into play you are describibng now

[09:12] {Threei} I might have seen something different, like for instance:

[09:12] {Threei} no play at all because it dropped from .85 to .65 too sharply

[09:13] {Les} ok, stock is too bouncy for what you define as appropriate setup?

[09:13] {Threei} or maybe there were some bids and offers that had to be accounted for

[09:13] {Threei} I don't know

[09:14] {Threei} you are asking three days later about something that might or might not be there

[09:14] {Threei} but here is something for you to look into:

[09:14] {Threei} the play I answered you about was:

[09:14] {Threei} .65 entry,

[09:14] {Threei} .80 stop,

[09:15] {Threei} and this one dropped to .50, giving you 1:1

[09:15] {Les} yes I know

[09:15] {Les} but didn't know that your stop differed to mine

[09:15] {Les} so I understand that stop was too generous, too large

[09:15] {Threei} see now how outcome changes dependent on the play stricture?

[09:15] {Les} just my opinion

[09:15] {Les} yes

[09:15] {Threei} no

[09:15] {Threei} not justr too large

[09:15] {Threei} it was from a different play altogether

[09:16] {Threei} you played one while asked about another

[09:16] {Threei} look at the log,

[09:16] {Threei} and you'll see this:

[09:16] {Threei} after you reported entry and stop

[09:16] {Threei} I asked whether you took aggresiive entry

[09:16] {Threei} you know why?

[09:17] {Les} I do know

[09:17] {Les} now

[09:17] {Threei} because your stop didn't match the play I saw,

[09:17] {Threei} so,

[09:17] {Les} yes I see

[09:17] {Threei} what I was thinking at the moment:

[09:17] {Les} was different from me

[09:17] {Threei} you entered aggressively,

[09:17] {Threei} and used wider stop, because you got better price and thought you have more room

[09:17] {Threei} which is wrong way to do it

[09:18] {Les} yes I understand...

[09:18] {Threei} so I wanted to give you a running comment

[09:18] {Les} I would not have matched .70 entry with .85 stop

[09:18] {Threei} so did fern

[09:18] {Les} but I had entered at .65

[09:18] {Threei} but it was before you asked, so we already talked about different plays

[09:19] {dino} ogxi strange

[09:19] {strider} morning everyone..

[09:19] {Les} so using bounce from 2 - 2:15pm is a statics setup not suitable for a trade happening 15 minutes later

[09:19] {Threei} strider :)

[09:19] {Les} st

[09:19] {Les} dino

[09:20] {Threei} maybe. maybe not - depends on what happened meanwhile

[09:20] {Les} k

[09:20] {lasertrev} hi

[09:20] {Threei} btw, looking at your entry at 2:27,

[09:20] {lasertrev} all

[09:21] {Les} LT

[09:21] {Les} yeh

[09:21] {Threei} I see .80 as a resistance already

[09:21] {Threei} trev :)

[09:21] {Les} so do I now

[09:21] {Threei} well... good flight review then

[12:46] {Threei} he claimed such profits for his future trades that if he caszhes out on them, we will never hear from him again

[13:11] {Les} someone with toilet humour trying to get in...

[13:27] {Threei} stop is narrow enough

[13:27] {Les} WMT Vad?

[13:28] {Threei} strider, think of us this way: every time we are lucky to stumble onto wrong impression we hold on to it for dear life, insist on it being right and generally enjoy all ther fights we can get into defending that impression

[13:28] {Les} hmm and here I thought we were different from wall st and washington...

[13:28] {strider} OK .. then I'm in the right place. :)

[13:28] {Threei} I like WMT chart for long, I just doubt we can get resolution before the day is over

[13:29] {Les} ok

[13:29] {Threei} we are very different les

[13:29] {Threei} difference is:

[13:29] {Threei} we do it for the love of having an opinion

[13:29] {Threei} we don't change it depending on who pays

[13:29] {Les} :D

[13:30] {Threei} and we don't even care abput opinion so much as we love to fight

[13:30] {fernp} strider... you should buy a HOG

[13:30] {Les} well I might put a small stop on WMT and let it go while doing dinner...

[13:30] {Threei} what is the first thought I have seeing that huge Chritsmas tree

[13:43] {Les} k

[13:49] {strider} I must be doing something right, cause I got 3 open, and it sure is boring.

[13:52] {Threei} how does it translate into doing something right?

[13:53] {strider} exciting is bad/boring is good.

[13:54] {Les} this, from a man who rides a huge motocycle?

[13:54] {strider} that's supposed to be exciting. this isn't.

[13:55] {Threei} good point

[13:56] {Les} really? I don't need to jump out of planes now I have trading...

[13:56] {strider} however, in the middle of bragging about doing something right.....I do have 3 shorts open. This is probably not a good thing.

[13:56] {Les} am I doing something wrong?

[13:57] {Threei} hard to tell at this stage

[13:57] {Threei} but if you are still this unbalanced in a year - sure indication of doing everything wrong

06[15:34] * Threei sells 100K SNS he had overnight

06[15:34] * Threei retires

06[15:35] * Threei reasures everyone present he knows no their names

[15:36] {strider} {-------sends some of his 'people

[15:36] {strider} to Vad's house.

[15:36] {Threei} good luck finding anyone at my house within next 15 minutes

[15:37] {Threei} anyway, strider, congratulations on a good trading day

[15:37] {Threei} things start clicking together gradually?

[15:37] {strider} thank you.

[15:37] {Threei} two winning weeks,

[15:38] {strider} well.......don't want to get too self-assured.

[15:38] {Threei} win today, when the market is so stalled

[15:38] {Threei} no

[15:38] {Threei} no need to rest on laurels

[15:38] {strider} ouch!

[15:38] {Threei} but gotta give improvement the ackonowledgment

[15:38] {strider} oh, yeah. It's a different world.

[15:39] {Threei} espousing eluciation doesn't come easy

[15:39] {Threei} but pays off

[15:39] {Threei} as eschewing obfuscation becomes easier

[15:39] {strider} Much of my improvement has come from trade management.

[15:40] {dino} affy

[15:40] {Threei} and where did the rade management come from?

[15:40] {dino} darn, distracted missed ths s

[15:40] {Threei} trade

[15:40] {strider} developing cold-blood.

[15:41] {Threei} there

[15:41] {strider} Staying with the plan.

[15:41] {Threei} and that comes from

[15:41] {dino} glad to see it strider

[15:41] {strider} believing in the system.

[15:42] {strider} or...just not giving a ***

[15:42] {strider} :)

[15:42] {Threei} all of that

[15:42] {dino} lol, "your edge" is the key

[15:42] {Threei} but the common root, or denominator for them all,

[15:42] {Threei} general underatanding of what market is, what trading is about

[15:43] {Threei} when it comes the rest becomes jujst details

[15:43] {Threei} see a deviation, correct it

[15:43] {Threei} and let the nature take its course

[15:43] {Threei} while your own behavior is structured in tune with it

[15:43] {dino} gotta hop early, son's b-ball game, cya

[15:43] {Threei} so it takes you with it

[15:43] {strider} see ya, dino.

[15:43] {Threei} take care dino

[15:44] {dino} :)

[15:44] {strider} After Xmas, I want to bump my shares a bit. Still not trading large enough to make a meaningful amount of money.

[15:45] {Threei} don't worry about it

[15:45] {strider} yeah.

[15:45] {Threei} when things align right,

[15:45] {Threei} it will happen by itself

[15:45] {Threei} You won't even think about it

[15:45] {Threei} simply start trading righgt

[15:45] {Threei} then everything will be so natural

[15:46] {strider} I think that's right, cause I've given myself permission to trade larger than I am.....but when the time comes, I scroll back on the shares.

[15:47] {Threei} let me give you a quick example

[15:48] {Threei} 2 months ago, were you trading in cold blood, calm and in control, or were you unbalanced, emotional and genetrally not in commander seat?

[15:48] {strider} not in control....

[15:49] {Threei} ok, now

[15:49] {Threei} if at that point

[15:49] {Threei} I'd telll you, or you'd tell yourself

[15:49] {Threei} hey, be calm, be cool, be in conmtrol

[15:49] {Threei} would it change anything?

[15:49] {strider} nope

[15:49] {Threei} of course not

[15:49] {Threei} why? and why it became possible now?

[15:50] {Threei} because at that point in time

[15:50] {ese} you all have a great rest of the day and i'll catch you tomorrow

[15:50] {Threei} and at that point of your tading career or learning curve

[15:50] {strider} see ya ese.

[15:50] {ese} st

[15:50] {Threei} take care ese

[15:50] {ese} vad

[15:50] {ilana} bye ese

[15:50] {Threei} you simply didn't have enough deeper understanding of the nature of the beast

[15:50] {Threei} but when this understanding become deeper

[15:51] {Threei} some issues started resolving seemingly by themselves

[15:51] {Threei} Not all of them found their resolution yet, sure

[15:51] {Threei} but this is the process

[15:51] {Threei} you can see it unfolding right in front of you

[15:51] {Threei} My task is facilitate it

[15:52] {Threei} yours - to coordinate with it, let it flow,

[15:52] {Threei} work on undersatnding step by step

[15:52] {Threei} in a year or so, new guy will come

[15:52] {Threei} express frustration

[15:52] {Threei} tell about how he can't seem to get any single day right

[15:53] {Threei} and you will suddenly realize that you were right there a year ago

[15:53] {Threei} and you are not there anymore

[15:53] {Threei} and you know what he is going through

[15:53] {Threei} and can tell him what to do next

[15:53] {strider} yep.

[15:54] {Threei} the only ones who don't get it right are those who can't ovecome their ego

[15:54] {Threei} they think they need to argue with me

[15:54] {Threei} as if I am here to prove soemthing to them

[15:54] {Les} godammit Vad, find me a trade!
