Mitch K: watching PL 03-13 for long [09:11
am] Ed : NUS added to buy list at Deutsche
Bank [09:13 am] Ed : SPY new hod [09:14
am] Mitch K: i am toying with this idea to
create a separate/additional version of
lightning that would have only a handful of
signals per day in a futures instrument that
usually have long hold times. For
example, a signal at 7:20:55 am pacific time
on NG 03-13 this morning to buy long at 3.185
and a matching sell signal came at 8:56:59 am
for $3.224. hold time was over 86
minutes. I dont know if it can be done
but would be really useful. you guys
like that idea? [09:16 am] Mitch K: by
putting it on its own chart would make it
much easier to follow. I like the idea
but not sure if it will be technically too
challenging to work with. an
alternative is to have a different color
identifying the long term hold
strategy [09:20 am] Mitch K: a longer time
frame helps remove many signals but as you
know, you give up quite a bit of money from
the peak price to the signal on longer term
intervals. we are developing an algo
that gets the best of both worlds, good tight
signals without giving up as much money
before a signal arrives and a long hold
time [09:23 am] Mitch K: ok here is
another one on the 1 min chart for CL 02-13
this morning at 721am pst which was a buy
signal at $92.90 and a sell signal at $93.21
almost 2 hours later [09:24 am]
Mitch K: that trade wasnt a big profit but
what i am getting at is a lot of traders are
not as active and this would be an easier
lifestyle to maintain, less busy but high
percentage winning rate and higher profit per
trade overall [09:25 am] Ed : RIG confirms
agreement with justice dept [09:26 am]
Mitch K: joey, the smaller trades in between
has to be done in a different account since
you are not able to be long and short in the
same instrument in the same brokerage
account. [10:07 am] Ed : tight trading
range in SPY [10:35 am] Ed : SPY new
hod [10:47 am] Ed : 10:46 am] Ed : nasdaq

data thats 10 minutes old [10:53 am] Ed :

K: looking for tradable long for TNA
soon [11:10 am] Mitch K: i think that is
based on a small cap bull, like Russell
2000 [11:13 am] Mitch K: FYI, if you ever
were on the road traveling and were not
actually trading much you could go to
freestockcharts.com and get real time
charts. only if you are in a bind and
need some charts with data [11:16 am]
Mitch K: it is not for professional use for
full time trading, i only might need it if
traveling [11:23 am] Mitch K: joey,
getting that longer term long entry [11:23
am] Mitch K: looking for CL bounce here,
soon [11:24 am] Mitch K: that comment joey
is a short term trade, this could last an
hour [11:31 am] Mitch K: came at
92.91 [11:31 am] Mitch K: joey, if you
took that long entry around 92.82 on CL, i
got an early sell signal on it, surprised it
came so soon [11:37 am] Ed : nice one on

when one has habits that affects trading, one
has to do something to undo those bad
habits [07:56 am] apple : good
advice E [07:57 am] taco : yes sir,
such as? [07:57 am] Ed : What you want to
do is identify thos things that are holding
you back from being successful and consistent
as a trader [07:58 am] mikewd2 -: taco: i
have the worst bad habits. But this is new
year and not going to do them
anymore. [07:58 am] Ed : and write them
down (this helps to acknowledge) [07:58
am] mikewd2 -: work on a day trading plan and
stick to it. [07:58 am] mikewd2 -: been
very helpful to me last few days. [07:58
am] taco : good stuff thanks
guys [07:59 am] Ed : in writing trading
plan this will help, look in documents
folder [07:59 am] mikewd2 -: important
stuff – else you will not last day trading –
trust me. [07:59 am] Ed : additionally
since we all have bad habits we have to
deprogram the junk so to speake and inpute
better habits [07:59 am] jsn13 :
thanks mike for FDO, out half at 56.91 from
56.54.. [07:59 am] Ed : How does one do
this, this has to be worked on evey single
day [08:00 am] mikewd2 -: yeah losing
weight is easier than breaking bad stock
trading habits!!!! [08:00 am] Ed : just as
quick example if you overtrade stocks, you
have to have a counter to help such as only
trading the stock at most 2x regardless, and
no more [08:01 am] mikewd2 -: on my list
Ed! [08:01 am] taco : even the
really juicy ones?? [08:01 am] taco
: guilty and accept [08:01 am] mikewd2 -:
yes taco [08:01 am] apple : just
taking only the best probable
set-ups [08:01 am] taco : i hear
you [08:02 am] mikewd2 -: you get in habit
of over trading on juicy ones, it carries
over to not so juicy. [08:02 am] Ed :
another habit could be taking a trade
withouth a signal [08:02 am] jsn13 :
watching ALLT [08:02 am] khall :
exactly mike [08:02 am] apple : no
signal, no trade [08:02 am] apple :
also, take breaks and regroup — joey is a
great example of that [08:03 am] Ed :
write apple, but key is making sure it is
written down and everyday you have to go over
whats holding you back and course of action
to make a change, [08:03 am] Ed : trying
to make a trade is a famous bad habit
also [08:03 am] apple : exactly –
REview & Grow… learn from it, don’t
be critical [08:04 am] Ed : thats
basically making something there that is
not [08:04 am] taco :
right [08:04 am] apple :
magic? [08:04 am] khall : trading
what you think instead of what you
see [08:04 am] apple : right,
khall [08:04 am] scalpman : Thor was
hammered but is rebounding a bit. [08:05
am] mikewd2 -: out FDO, another
+0.5- [08:05 am] Ed : right, we all know
it but what will we do to make the change to
reach our goals and be consistent trader, it
is here that one gets lazy but its where u
focus (this is called discipline) [08:06
am] mikewd2 -: Ed, ALLT worth a long
try? has a clear stop, r:r seems
decent [08:06 am] Ed : have to mention
this one, getting disgusted with
markets [08:07 am] Ed : have lower highs

least i think you do [08:39 am]
victor51 : Thanks Joey/Murano/Ed on RIG
short. I am out now [08:39 am] shark
: or you can double your delta by buying 2x
as many contracts [08:39 am] apple :
i like that idea shark [08:39 am]
joeytsa : true [08:39 am]
shark : 😉 [08:39 am] victor51
: Any news on ALLT. I am L at $14 [08:40
am] joeytsa : i like the itm calls,
delta around 80 [08:40 am] qwert :
watching NFLX [08:40 am] joeytsa :
you get most of the upside, and if stock
drops..so does delta so you dont lose as
much [08:40 am] apple : thx
qwert [08:40 am] apple : more
expensive tho, joey [08:40 am]
joeytsa : who cares [08:41 am]
apple : looks like NFLX made a soup
bowl from yesterday [08:41 am]
joeytsa : im talking for swings though,
sorry i wasnt clear [08:41 am] apple
: ok [08:42 am] mikewd2 -: watching for
RIG short if fails hod [08:43 am]
joeytsa : mike: dbl top on neg div at
the moment [08:43 am] apple : had a

joeytsa : /GC with some nice cycles
today [08:45 am] joeytsa : life
improvement book recommendation, can be
applied to trading life… [08:45 am]
joeytsa : “The Compound Effect” by
Darren Hardy [08:45 am] apple : thx
joey [08:46 am] joeytsa : very easy
read [08:46 am] apple : even better,
right? [08:47 am] Mitch K: hey joey, you
left too soon for your break. look at
NG after that sell signal you called
out [08:47 am] joeytsa : Mitch:
since its about a month after Lightning, are
you liking stocks or futures
better? [08:47 am] Mitch K: i mean buy
signal [08:47 am] joeytsa : yeah i
saw when i came back [08:47 am]
joeytsa : almost put in a standing
order, but didnt [08:47 am] Mitch K: am I
liking Lightning for futures or stocks
better, is that your question? [08:48 am]
joeytsa : or just in general [08:48
am] apple : hotseat [08:49 am] Mitch
K: because the fact that futures is more
volatile I think Lightning is more effective
with futures but that first hour with
volatile stocks is good too [08:49 am]
joeytsa : i was going to write the same
thing [08:50 am] joeytsa : i like
that futures isnt as hectic, sometimes just
way too many stocks to follow [08:50 am]
apple : volatility helps
everything [08:50 am] apple : mike
did you get RIG short? [08:50 am] mikewd2
-: yes and DO [08:51 am] Mitch K: the
version 2 we are working on dramatically
improved the FuturesForex
version. the stocks version
improved as well but the Futures version is
just getting outstanding results [08:51
am] joeytsa : cant wait, loving what i
see now actually [08:51 am] Mitch K: it
comes down to the volatility [08:51 am]
joeytsa : if you use common trading
sense you can avoid some of the “wrong”
signals given [08:52 am] joeytsa :
nice trades mike [08:52 am] Mitch K: the
nice thing is you can have stocks go dead for
awhile and find something in the futures
market and often times the opposite where
futures can be quiet and you can find 1 or 2
stocks to work with. [08:53 am]
apple : and that’s really all you need
for a profitable day [08:53 am]
joeytsa : yeah, and the audio alerts
you if you happen to nod off haha [08:53
am] mikewd2 -: Gundlach: ‘Deeply believe’
Apple headed to $425 per share [08:54 am]
joeytsa : article i posted yesterday in
the room gave a $440 target if neckline was
broken [08:54 am] joeytsa :
http://www.t3live.com/articles/market-analysi
s/3733-scott-redlers-predictions-for-2013-.ht
ml [08:54 am] Mitch K: what I am
personally finding is that i do better with
fewer Lightning charts open, when i have 6 or
more charts open at a time, there are
too many audio alerts and I get desensitized
from taking all the audio alerts
seriously [08:54 am] joeytsa : for
you mike, not sure you were in the
room [08:54 am] lisas : Mitch, I
keep getting the error message if I link the
alert box to a chart. [08:54 am]
joeytsa : yeah Mitch, happened to me
this morning…signals going off left and
right [08:55 am] joeytsa : i have 5
futures symbols up [08:55 am] Mitch K: i
saw your email lisa but i couldnt follow it,
probably because it was late at
night [08:55 am] Mitch K: well today was
just so busy anyhow joey [08:55 am]
joeytsa : yeah, even
premarket [08:56 am] lisas : I
thought I had it figured out, but now it’s
appearing with a link between alert box and a
chart. I’m under the weather, so it could
have been my explanation also [08:56 am]
joeytsa : im just finding it “easier”
to scalp the futures [08:57 am] taco
: i’ve been getting encouraging results in
futures [08:57 am] scalpman :
Joey…do you trade one future like
S&P or emini [08:57 am] Mitch K:
oh ok, the Lightning alert box. i never
tried linking to a chart, does it work?
i would not think that would work because
there is a switch between types of charts
form stocks to futures [08:57 am]
lisas : So link between Market analyzer
and chart are fine. Linking alert window and
a chart I get the error message that I’m
using the stock version, and need the futures
version, even though I have the futures
version [08:57 am] Mitch K: i think it is
because you are mixing types of Lightning
versions [08:57 am] lisas : I have a
futures MA open now, with TSA LightFuture as
a column. Alerts appear in the alerts
box [08:58 am] Mitch K: and a Lightning
chart can only have a stock or a futures
instrument but the alert box is giving alerts
for both types [08:58 am] Mitch K: thats
the problem [08:58 am] lisas : there
is no indicator in the alerts box, and it
works fine with stocks. [08:59 am]
lisas : I closed my MA with stocks, but
interestingly, I’m still getting alerts in
the alert box for stocks I had in
MA [08:59 am] apple : HLF on fire
today [08:59 am] mikewd2 -: LXK
moving [08:59 am] joeytsa : lisa: i
had that issue a few weeks back, so i closed
it [09:00 am] lisas : I also have a
ghost stock, CREE. Haven’t used it in weeks,
but still get alerts for it [09:00 am]
joeytsa : RIG forming asc tri/wedge
patttern [09:00 am] Mitch K: im sure i am
right about this. a Lightning
chart can handle only stocks or only
futures. because you are linking to the
same chart [09:00 am] mikewd2 -: is that
good for short or long, joey? [09:01 am]
apple : i see that on the 15 min
RIG [09:01 am] lisas : I have it
linked to a different chart Mitch [09:01
am] joeytsa : yes mike haha [09:01
am] lisas : May have to do a screen
print and email you to show my set
up [09:01 am] mikewd2 -: watching LXK if
it nears 26.00 [09:01 am] mikewd2 -: DO
short working nicely [09:02 am]
joeytsa : i wouldnt long RIG until over
49.25 [09:02 am] mikewd2 -: looking for
70.20 area on DO [09:03 am] scalpman
: ALF [09:03 am] joeytsa : did you
lower your stop mike? [09:03 am] mikewd2
-: maybe 70.35 [09:03 am] mikewd2 -:
yep [09:03 am] taco : its really
changed how i view entries hinking
aboutbracket orders [09:03 am]
joeytsa : /GC sitting on S2
support [09:03 am] joeytsa : good
mike [09:03 am] mikewd2 -: actually i
moved it to 70.8 [09:03 am] joeytsa
: nice, price has to push thru 5,15 ma to get
there [09:04 am] joeytsa : taco:
those strangles work decently on
consolidation/ranges [09:04 am]
lisas : It might be a quirk with Ninja,
wonder if all workspaces run, even if not
opened [09:05 am] taco : right, i’ve
been noticing awesome [09:05 am]
lisas : i might have to take one of
their live webinars to ask [09:05 am]
joeytsa : not sure lisa, i found the MA
aggrevating so i just keep an alerts box up
now [09:06 am] Ed : no one kept an eye on
the range for break in BIIB [09:06 am]
taco : nice ed [09:07 am]
lisas : Well, I just discovered Cree
was on an earlier workspace I saved but
didn’t use anymore. I’ve been getting signals
on it every day since. Although not all the
signals on that workspace have been alerting.
Curious. I used the MA fine for stocks this
week. Helps keep track of calls very
well. [09:07 am] shark : NFLX nice
run [09:07 am] Ed : if u missed another
good study chart [09:07 am] qwert :
real nice on BIIB [09:07 am] Ed : all
qwerts fault [09:07 am] joeytsa :
yeah qwert messed up last week too [09:07
am] qwert : yep all my fault [09:07
am] taco : funny [09:08 am]
joeytsa : im going to loosen your
skis haha [09:08 am] qwert :
yeah that was really fun yesterday [09:08
am] mikewd2 -: watching SODA at
48.00 [09:09 am] apple : glad to
hear qwert [09:09 am] taco : NUS up
2% [09:09 am] joeytsa : /PL has been
ping-ponging between 1574-1575 [09:11 am]
apple : thx E [09:13 am] mikewd2 -:
going for RIG short again, i like it when we
have nice clear stops [09:15 am]
shark : I like that idea,
Mitch [09:15 am] joeytsa : 90 minute
hold time, thats a swing trade to me
haha [09:16 am] apple : joey, 15 min
is a swing trade to you. lol [09:16 am]
joeytsa : 🙂 [09:16 am] apple
: sounds interesting MK [09:17 am]
joeytsa : Mitch: would a longer
timeframe setting do the same
thing? [09:18 am] joeytsa : AL
Jazeera taking over Current TV [09:18 am]
apple : gore selling [09:19 am]
joeytsa : Al Gore could make $125M from
the deal [09:19 am] apple : good for
him, should have done it last
year… [09:20 am] mikewd2 -: RIG breaking
out [09:21 am] shark : different
color might be best way to integrate the two
together, Mitch [09:21 am] joeytsa :
sounds good, thats why i keep shorter
times/targets on futures [09:21 am]
joeytsa : trail RIG if you took the asc
tri break [09:21 am] qwert :
Monitoring FTNT [09:21 am] lisas :
Something I try to do is multiple contracts.
Then take one off, move stop up and shoot for
a larger target if in line with the overnight
and daily trend. [09:22 am] shark :
watching NFLX, strong [09:23 am]
shark : WOW! Awesome,
Mitch!!! [09:23 am] joeytsa : nice
Mitch : cool thing is you can do
both… [09:24 am] joeytsa : have
one longer term trade going, but pick off
small scalps in between [09:24 am]
joeytsa : lisa: thats a good strategy
also [09:25 am] shark : agreed,
Mitch [09:25 am] lisas : either way,
Mitch’s point is good. Holder longer can pay
off well. [09:25 am] joeytsa :
agreed [09:26 am] joeytsa : out
RIG [09:26 am] apple : thx
E [09:27 am] apple : i like the 5
min timeframe, smooths it out [09:27 am]
shark : nice joey, RIG [09:27 am]
joeytsa : i never tried that,
what if you have 2 seperate charts up
though? [09:27 am] Ed : nice trading
joey [09:28 am] joeytsa : thanks,
got in earlier than my posted buy point..gut
feel trade [09:28 am] mikewd2 -: come to
papa RIG [09:28 am] shark : AAPL
testing b/e 3rd time [09:30 am]
shark : 40% move HLF since 12/24, great
call Mitch [09:32 am] joeytsa :
Mitch: the other way around that would be to
just take the scalps in the direction of the
longer trade? [09:33 am] joeytsa :
stopped on DO, took that 2nd short, small
profit [09:33 am] apple : actually,
joey, if there is volatility, you will make
more money in the long run [09:33 am]
mikewd2 -: i’ve still have it joey,
DO [09:34 am] joeytsa : nice mike, i
got it on the bounce to 70.90 [09:34 am]
mikewd2 -: me too [09:34 am] joeytsa
: not sure about that apple [09:34 am]
mikewd2 -: watching RIG at 50.00 [09:34
am] joeytsa : pay less commission yes,
but would have more profits [09:37 am]
mikewd2 -: covered half DO at 70.60 [09:37
am] joeytsa : /GC lost S2 [09:38 am]
apple : nice mike [09:38 am]
joeytsa : good one mike [09:38 am]
lisas : well, figured out the problem
with my errors and the ghost symbols. When
you open a new workspace in Ninja, and the
previous vanishes, it’s not really gone,
still working and signaling in the back
ground. Useful to know if you don’t have much
monitor space, but confusing if you are used
to TS! [09:39 am] joeytsa : thanks
lisa, good to know [09:40 am] lisas
: MA works well that way, although you don’t
really need it with futures, not that many
symbols. MA is very useful to track room
calls [09:40 am] lisas : in
stocks [09:41 am] joeytsa : maybe i
will give it another try [09:43 am]
mikewd2 -: covered remaining DO S at

of congress to win [10:06 am] mikewd2 -:
stopped on GNC [10:06 am] joeytsa :
not sure they would like me cursing anyone
out though [10:06 am] shark : might
be just what they need [10:06 am]
joeytsa : 🙂 [10:08 am] go4it
: you mean like Boner dropped the F bomb on
Reid [10:08 am] joeytsa : should
have dropped a cement block on him
🙂 [10:08 am] go4it : 🙂 [10:08
am] joeytsa : they both need a good
lashing though [10:09 am] go4it : I
guess that was plan C [10:10 am]
joeytsa : not taking it but PPO 60c

been very strong today, needs a little
pullback [10:18 am] taco : /PL
04-13? [10:18 am] joeytsa : catching
breath for push to $100?? [10:18 am]
joeytsa : yes taco [10:18 am]
shark : could be, joey. [10:18 am]
joeytsa : about 1-1.5 pt
range [10:18 am] shark : not seeing
much pullback or bounces in stocks [10:18
am] taco : ya the 03-13 looks
funny [10:18 am] joeytsa : AAPL
dropping [10:19 am] joeytsa : yeah,
dont like the 3-13 one, Mitch liked it
though [10:19 am] apple : AAPl fot

ya [10:22 am] joeytsa : esp when you
compare $ outlay to make the play [10:22
am] apple : well GNC decided to make a
move there [10:22 am] apple : agree,
and i like the options even better [10:22
am] shark : 🙂 [10:23 am]
joeytsa : daytrading options doesnt
work for me [10:23 am] joeytsa :
will use them on any swings i ever end up
doing though [10:23 am] apple : i
had bought an .85 call on XOM on monday, now
3.85 [10:23 am] shark : you rock,
apple! [10:23 am] joeytsa : nice

shark, made some other nice moves with GOOG,
MA, BIDU, NFLX, AMZN [10:24 am]
shark : 🙂 [10:25 am] mikewd2 -: out

apple [10:27 am] joeytsa :
agreed [10:27 am] apple : nice move
off bottom with AAPL [10:27 am]
apple : joey, once you go, there will

joeytsa : hard to put up $200K just to
make small profit [10:27 am] shark :
NFLX 3x hod attempt [10:28 am] apple
: there is some resistance there
shark [10:28 am] joeytsa : thats why
i am liking futures, each pt in /GC is
$100/contract [10:28 am] apple :
joey, you don’t need a boatload of contracts
with the options [10:28 am] shark :
who’s your broker, joey? [10:29 am]
joeytsa : for futures or
options? [10:29 am] apple :
options [10:29 am] shark : are they
different? [10:29 am] shark :

yeah [10:29 am] joeytsa : options i
have OptionsXpress [10:29 am]
joeytsa : futures using
TradeProFutures [10:29 am] joeytsa :
not trading options at the moment
though [10:29 am] shark :
thx [10:30 am] apple : joey, if you
want a far less expensive broker –
thinkorswim — you can do both.
infinity futures is good for
futures [10:30 am] joeytsa : been
thinking of switching options
though [10:30 am] shark : i agree
w/apple [10:31 am] apple : i got rid
of options express as a broker a long time
ago… way too expensive … i think it was
$15 roundtrip or something like
that [10:31 am] joeytsa : might
switch to TS or LS options [10:31 am]
shark : NFLX thru res, some
vol [10:31 am] joeytsa : yeah, plus
i havent traded options in a while [10:31
am] shark : cool, a newbie in the
room [10:31 am] apple : i am doing
options now in TX, but will open an account
in TOS soon — they are geared toward
options, created by options buys [10:32
am] apple : guys [10:32 am]
apple : nice move mike on GNC [10:32
am] apple : TS – can’t type
