great evening traders [01:01 pm] Mitch K:
later guys [01:02 pm] Mitch K: this is
natural gas, been very active lately.
forecasts of cold cold winter spiking natural
gas [01:04 pm] Mitch K: ok see this yellow
area? [01:05 pm] Mitch K: see all those
wicks? [01:05 pm] Mitch K: its working
real well, got lucky actually [01:05 pm]
Mitch K: this is the area where a No trading
zone is issued. its a strong suggestion
to not trade during this time [01:06 pm]
Mitch K: we dont want to be trading during
that time [01:06 pm] Mitch K: but all
those wicks, that gyration with no real big
move that lasts? see that? [01:06
pm] Mitch K: yes, yellow area will be on
charts. trying to get it programmed for
you to have a choice to have a women’s voice
to announce the beginning of No Trading
Zone [01:07 pm] Mitch K: like that big
move, you want to be trading, not the little
tiny stuff that is just frustrating and
exhausting [01:07 pm] Mitch K: and then
you miss teh big moves [01:07 pm] Mitch K:
this will eat up profits and create lots of
small losses if you try trading
that [01:08 pm] Mitch K: know what i
mean? [01:08 pm] Mitch K: you guuys notice
that when you trade a bunch of small stuff
that you lose sight of the big picture and
its easy to miss big moves or where you are
in a bigger move? [01:09 pm] Mitch K:
there it is again, garbage, all
garbage [01:10 pm] Mitch K: wont
show [01:10 pm] Mitch K: see all that
confusing, sell, buy, sell, buy in the blue
circle? [01:10 pm] Mitch K: ok, during
this yellow painted area . . . . trade
signals will not be shown [01:10 pm] Mitch
K: i said i would stop tinkering and send it
out to you but i just couldnt do it, it just
wasnt good enough and i knew that the newer
traders would complain [01:11 pm] Mitch K:
let me look around a little more with some
charts. today, in futures and forex,
was really quiet, almost dead. there
were some trades but very quiet [01:11 pm]
Mitch K: this means will save you from many
unnecessary losses [01:12 pm] Mitch K: If
we are not able have an on-off sound switch
on her voice NTZ, then we will prob keep it
off because it will be annoying to have 16
charts open and NTZ is being announced often,
like today [01:12 pm] Mitch K: so this No
Trading Zone was firing off a lot [01:13
pm] Mitch K: its easy to say in your head
“alright, i know already” [01:14 pm] Mitch
K: if you guys want to guarantee an increase
in profits…… do what im doing now, review
charts every day [01:15 pm] Mitch K: big
move there [01:15 pm] Mitch K: look how
much yellow today [01:15 pm] Mitch K: i
just loaded more backhistory to 6 days, ninja
presets to 3 days [01:17 pm] Mitch K: if
it is too dark, it will start interfering, we
need to see through it victor. [01:17 pm]
Mitch K: you mean the NTZ color
victor? [01:18 pm] Mitch K: this is that
last 30-45 min qwert in CL. i was
saying big moves in CL last 30-45 min, there
they are, on schedule as usual [01:19 pm]
Mitch K: i didnt trade much today, was
studying lots of settings, tweaking, working
with LIghtning [01:20 pm] Mitch K: you
guys just remember that you really want to
use Lightning the right way. and be
picky, wait for good clear signals, and when
you do that, your profits go
skyrocketing. [01:22 pm] Mitch K: you can
have let’s say, for example, 3-4 trades in an
instrument like CL which is crude oil, 2
trades in GC, which is GOld, 2-3 silver
trades, maybe 4-5 stock trades in first hour,
and your day would just be
fabulous. [01:23 pm] Mitch K: even if you
had only 3-4 trades all day in a combination
of 1, 2 or 3 instruments (gold, silver,
natural gas, SP minis, Dow FUtures, whatever)
and it will be very successful, probably a
lot more profits per trade than what you are
doing now [01:24 pm] Mitch K: this was oil
on Friday [01:26 pm] Mitch K: see those
two buy signals in a row about 21 minutes
apart? [01:26 pm] Mitch K: its corn i
think, pretty sure [01:26 pm] Mitch K: ok
see this here [01:27 pm] Mitch K: means a
new surge of buying is occuring
actually [01:27 pm] Mitch K: just means to
keep holding [01:27 pm] Mitch K: we are
going to show consecutive signals, which is
fine [01:28 pm] Mitch K: i got to go now,
later [01:28 pm] Mitch K: ive lost track
of corn. [01:28 pm] Mitch K: started
moving in JUne on the drought news [01:28
pm] Mitch K: daily chart on CORN

lol [08:42 am] jsn13 : for stocks on
1min, how many cents belwo or above do u use
for entry? [08:42 am] jsn13 : above
or below cup break i mean… [08:42 am]
joeytsa : probably depends on your
trade timeframe [08:42 am] Ed : matter of
preference, just stay away from whole
numbers [08:42 am] Ed : right
joey [08:43 am] jsn13 : if trade on
intraday 1min chart? [08:43 am] Ed : there
is no perfect answer [08:43 am]
jsn13 : what is the system
then? [08:43 am] Ed : u bck test and see
what works best for ur style of
trading [08:44 am] Ed : see we can give
direction, basis for trading but after that,
u want it to be based on ur style not
mine [08:44 am] jsn13 : ed, as a
reference, what do u use? 8-10 cents if
trading on 1min chart? or a certain
percentage? [08:45 am] Ed : it varies,
sometimes will give .33 or .79 [08:45 am]
Ed : sometimes i will cheat, meaning take
entry earlier and add. But thats my
style [08:46 am] jsn13 : u mean for
the break of 15min chart cup breaks that
is? [08:46 am] Ed : so if I tell you to
always use .33 u will take that as gospel,
and u dont want to do that [08:46 am]
jsn13 : yup i wont do
that…. [08:46 am] Ed : i use that on
1min [08:47 am] jsn13 : ok
thanks… [08:48 am] Ed : hope that makes
sense. So what u do is maybe learn from say
few traders, and see what they use as far as
entries. Then derive ur own [08:48 am]
doji : and remeber, Ed takes one share
at a time [08:48 am] jsn13 : ya
sure…thanks…. [08:48 am] Ed : See the
pattern is the pattern, the other is all
about working the trade when u see that
pattern [08:48 am] Ed : i need to bump
that up doji [08:48 am] joeytsa :
good point Ed [08:49 am] jsn13 :
agree and understand… [08:49 am] Ed : to
like 1.1 [08:49 am] elisha : Ed,
what ma settings do you think gives the
clearest pic of what is going on with a
stock? [08:49 am] Ed : cant see the word
after what [08:50 am] elisha : ma =
moving average [08:50 am] Ed :
ok [08:51 am] Ed : the clearest for lack
of better word really is common sense, what I
mean is its simple, we just make it
compicated [08:51 am] elisha : feel
as if i am looking at charts through a gauzy
veil [08:51 am] Ed : when we look at chart
we can see what overal trend is say on 15min
or daily [08:52 am] Ed : we complicate
with all the indicators and
overthinking [08:52 am] mikewd2 -: nice
down move in TSO today [08:52 am] mikewd2
-: unfortunately didnt short on that
bounce [08:52 am] Ed : so this is why its
good to know overall direction of the stock,
u get this from larger time frames [08:53
am] Ed : like using daily or 15min is good
for this [08:54 am] Ed : Now on to the
more complicated, in starting out, its best
to flow or trade with the overall
trend [08:55 am] elisha : i’m
listening [08:55 am] Ed : like we pull up
chart of AAPL we see it looks ugly, we dont
have to be rocket scientist to see its ugly
coming into today [08:56 am] Ed : just
drew to show where trend is [08:56 am] Ed
: where has trend been going [08:56 am] Ed
: down down down down [08:57 am] Ed : now
we are speaking of basics not
advanced [08:57 am] Ed : so on basic side,
why would we want to long a downtrender as a
day trade?? [08:57 am] elisha :
short it [08:57 am] Ed : can everyone see
that chart [08:57 am] elisha :
yes [08:57 am] qwert : yep [08:57
am] jsn13 : yes [08:57 am]
taco : ya [08:58 am] Ed : right or
stand on sidelines [08:58 am]
joeytsa : yep [08:58 am] Ed : now if
stock drops say to this area [08:58 am]
joeytsa : lots of traders try to fade
every single move [08:58 am] Ed : this is
where you use common sense [08:59 am] Ed :
stock has had huuge drop and stock has sold
off more so dont try to short after its lost
like aapl speaking of where i drew
line [08:59 am] Ed : staying on
basics [08:59 am] Ed : so u stand
aside [09:00 am] Ed : will pull up
some 1min charts [09:00 am] Ed : but you
see how we use the 15min to get overall
trend [09:00 am] elisha :
yes [09:00 am] qwert : yep [09:00
am] shark : yes [09:01 am] Ed : so
we got overall trend, then we pull up 1,min 2
day cahrt [09:01 am] Ed : area to left is
friday [09:01 am] Ed : coming into today
and premarkt this is info we have [09:01
am] mikewd2 -: CLF finally turning over a
bit [09:02 am] mikewd2 -: 3 nice bounces
on QCOR off 20 [09:02 am] Ed : thx
mike [09:03 am] Ed : thats our premarkt
area drawn [09:03 am] Ed : so looking at
chart see how that 15min or overall downtrend
translated into smaller time frame [09:03
am] elisha : yes [09:04 am]
taco : yes [09:04 am] Ed : downtrend
on 15min, lets me know we want to be flexible
never anticipate, but see what chart
says [09:04 am] Ed : chart says on 1min
cant trade above fridays close, and even in
premarket cant get much upward
thrust [09:05 am] Ed : so the advaced
traders will look and say hey, let me short
the bounce [09:05 am] Ed : or wait for
signal to get short from basic
standpoint [09:06 am] Ed : dont worry
about fact that its 600+ stock, its the
pattern thats key [09:06 am] Ed : this is
why you want to study charts, the more the
better [09:07 am] doji : I always
keep a trendline at the previous day high and
low and close for reference. Thus is waht Ken
Calhoun call your ATR [09:07 am] Ed : this
is NFLX [09:07 am] doji : It traded
above the Friday’s high and moved
higher [09:07 am] joeytsa : same
here doji [09:08 am] Ed : this is NFLX,
drew line depicting premarket
trading [09:08 am] joeytsa : i have
them color coded so i can tell at a glance
where price is at [09:08 am] mikewd2 -:
also remember about 90% of the time stocks
gap, they will continue to move in that
direction. [09:08 am] qwert : same
here joey [09:09 am] Ed : lets see what
15min says about NFLX [09:09 am]
elisha : ok [09:09 am] Ed : 15min
says strong [09:09 am] mikewd2 -: QCOR
hod [09:09 am] Ed : been breaking
out [09:09 am] Ed : so we want the
long [09:09 am] Ed : but we never
anticipate [09:10 am] Ed : thats for
another time how to play the gaps, but what
want to get over is from basic standpoint
what u want to be short and what you want to
play long [09:11 am] Ed : we are speaking
of basic [09:11 am] elisha : you
make it look easy, uncluttered and
logical [09:11 am] Ed : this is whay so
many how problems with shorting an uptend, or
taking long a downtrend [09:11 am] Ed :
cant talk [09:11 am] Ed : this is why so
many have [09:12 am] Ed : u want to make
sure u have down basic
understanding [09:12 am] Ed : does that
make sense [09:12 am] mikewd2 -: nice 6%
move in MCP today [09:12 am] elisha
: yes [09:12 am] taco :
yes [09:12 am] qwert : yep [09:13
am] eddy : what about qcor Ed can you
give us the resoning there please/ [09:13
am] Ed : the great part about the room is
that ideas are given for all types of
traders, but it does not mean evey idea is
great trade for ur style [09:13 am] Ed :
lets look at overall pic, [09:14 am]
mikewd2 -: QCOR testing 21 [09:14 am] Ed :
on my charts, when i pull up symbol, it shows
me dialy, 15min and the 1min itime frame i
trade on [09:14 am] joeytsa :
another great point Ed [09:14 am]
doji : QCOR needs to break 22.82 with
volume to confirm the U-Pattern [09:14 am]
elisha : so you’re saying there is no
perfect indicator setting, they must be
married with knoweldge and common
sense [09:15 am] Ed : Right we do get
hookep up on settings and indicators, and
they do work, but we want to learn how to see
what before us [09:15 am] Ed : it has been
consolidating long time [09:16 am] Ed :
now this chart for many begginers may not
mean much [09:17 am] Ed : however what do
ur eyes tell you [09:17 am] elisha :
energy being built up? [09:17 am]
shark : nice support area getting
built [09:17 am] Ed : it has dropped from
price of 50’s, and the line i drew, it says
after many days at bottom, sellers cant take
it lower as of yet [09:18 am] Ed : how do
i know, bcuz price has been basing, or
consolidating [09:18 am] Ed : so all tht
couple means we have potential long [09:18
am] joeytsa : yep, but based on those
trendlines, i see $4 upside, $4
downside [09:19 am] Ed : what do ur eyes
tell you on 1min 2 day cahrt [09:19 am] Ed
: who is in control [09:19 am]
joeytsa : bulls [09:19 am]
ticktrader : buyer [09:19 am] Ed :
right [09:19 am] Ed : u can see
it [09:19 am] jsn13 :
buyers….price stays above prior
high… [09:20 am] elisha :
ok [09:20 am] Ed : right, and sellers cant
take it lower as of trading we see on
charts [09:20 am] Ed : look at
premarket [09:20 am] joeytsa : now
based on this chart i see $4up,$1
down [09:20 am] joeytsa : much
better r/r [09:20 am] Ed :
exactly [09:20 am] Ed : this is why u
never chase, let the stock come to
you [09:21 am] doji : Sorry but I
forgot to post my second long in CMG… at
283.67 [09:21 am] Ed : it gave a chance
for entry, at lower price without having to
chase [09:21 am] Ed : even bull
cup [09:21 am] Ed : on smaller timeframe
if u missed early move [09:21 am] Ed : can
u all see the bull cup [09:21 am]
doji : Yes [09:21 am] mikewd2 -:
yep [09:21 am] qwert : yep [09:22
am] shark : yes [09:22 am] Ed : i
know u guys can [09:22 am] elisha :
would you please point to it? [09:22 am]
mikewd2 -: would have preferred a
consolidation handle. [09:22 am] Ed :
imagine cup u drink out of [09:22 am]
taco : got it [09:22 am] mikewd2 -:
instead of a failed breakout [09:22 am]
doji : Ken Calhoun recommends to enter
30c/35c above the cup’s left side [09:22
am] ticktrader : trendline alos happes
to be R2 [09:22 am] elisha : thx,
but why not the first dip? [09:22 am] Ed :
right, key is always vol [09:23 am] Ed :
all about setting pricing such that u dont
get fals breakout [09:23 am] Ed : great Q
eilisha [09:24 am] Ed : it takes practice
but most importantly the basic thing we spoke
on, trade with trend, leave the advanced
trading technique to once u have gotten the
basic down [09:25 am] Ed : does that help
at all [09:25 am] jsn13 : How do u
have time to go through the flow of ideas in
the am? [09:25 am] taco : yes thank
you Ed [09:26 am] jsn13 : do u
repeat this process every time u see an idea
posted? [09:26 am] Ed : practice and work
on getting faster [09:26 am] Ed : and
after you have done it many times come 2nd
nature [09:26 am] elisha : I think i
missed why not enter on the first
dip. [09:27 am] jsn13 : ok
cool… [09:27 am] Ed : can u give me time
elish [09:27 am] elisha : certainly,
sorry [09:29 am] Ed : also once u study
the charts, it does not matter what type,
color, or ma’s you have you will be able to
see the setups [09:29 am] Ed : or
indicators [09:29 am] Ed : u get a time
for us elisha [09:30 am] elisha :
pardon? [09:31 am] eddy : wat time
of the day the first dip u r asking about
elisha? [09:32 am] elisha : oh – on
Ed’s chart looks to be 9:30 [09:32 am] Ed
: is that the time ur speaking of [09:33
am] Ed : actually that would be nice lower
risk getting as close to fridays close area
as possible [09:33 am] elisha : yes,
9:30 ish – where the first dip(duplike
forms) [09:33 am] elisha :
dup=cup [09:34 am] Ed : that time is not
what i call cup, has to be complet [09:34
am] Ed : has to form full cup [09:34 am]
elisha : oh, ok [09:35 am] Ed : some
cups are shallow, and some are really
deep [09:35 am] Ed : just to show
different chart look of sam thing [09:36
am] Ed : this is advanced trade
idea [09:37 am] Ed : can u newer folks
tell me why this is advanced? [09:38 am]
jsn13 : weak on daily? [09:38 am]
taco : its on downtrend [09:38 am]
Ed : great job [09:38 am] mikewd2 -: good
observation guys [09:38 am] Ed : going
contrary to trend [09:39 am] eyes :
but support at 27 [09:39 am] doji :
acceleration in price and volume…
indicators don’t work on those quick
movers [09:39 am] mikewd2 -: actually
daily support is uptrend jason [09:39 am]
doji : Only volume and price
action [09:40 am] Ed : about support,
potential cuz support is support until its
not [09:40 am] eyes : yup [09:40
am] jsn13 : what do u mean
mike? [09:40 am] Ed : mike is upside
down [09:40 am] joeytsa :
hah [09:40 am] Ed : lol [09:40 am]
elisha : I’ve read you saying that
before [09:41 am] mikewd2 -: my daily
looks like uptrend on HPY [09:41 am]
jsn13 : on daily chart, short term
wise, it’s on strong downtrend… [09:42
am] mikewd2 -: dipping to previous
support [09:42 am] joeytsa :
actually daily getting ready to make a cup @
$27 [09:42 am] Ed : what that means
ellisha is that price, can pierce on through
what are percieved as potential ares of
support until sellers are exhausted [09:42
am] jsn13 : yup i see that… [09:42
am] joeytsa : i call the daily chart ”
chaos” [09:42 am] jsn13 : ed, did u
pass HPY as it is on strong downtrend and
it’s lunch time now? [09:43 am] Ed :
right, just the way i treat my day around
this time [09:43 am] shark : lol,
joey [09:43 am] jsn13 : ok
thanks…. [09:43 am] shark : put on
wall next to Mona Lisa [09:43 am] mikewd2
-: CLF finally turning nicely [09:43 am]
jsn13 : if it free falls to 27
potential support, would u be
interested? [09:44 am] elisha : so
you’re really saying anything can happen in
the market at any time no matter s/r or
anything [09:44 am] Ed : nope [09:44
am] jsn13 : why? [09:44 am] Ed :
right, as savy trader we are looking
for clues [09:44 am] Ed : clues that could
setup for us having an edge to take the
trade [09:45 am] elisha : this is
why i am looking through a veil, not enough
experience yet [09:46 am] Ed : i dont have
to take every trade, and this is time i like
to sit, unless i get an extreme
mover [09:47 am] Ed : just bcuz i dont
take trade does not mean its not a good
one [09:48 am] jsn13 : understand
ed….good lesson….thank u so
much…. [09:49 am] elisha : Ed,
Thank you for the lesson – you need to take a
bow [09:49 am] shark :
ditto [09:49 am] joeytsa : very
good [09:49 am] taco : thanks
Ed [09:49 am] ticktrader : Thank you
Ed [09:49 am] elisha : and thanks
for other helpful comments from
traders [09:49 am] Ed : no problem, that
what we are all here for [09:49 am]
jsn13 : it’s best to learn from u in
real time…looking at ideas and go through
the thought process that u
practise… [09:50 am] jsn13 : it
will be even nice if we can follow u 1 trade
per day where u can go from setups, entries
to exits using the audio
function…. [09:50 am] shark : nice
bounce HPY -saw it too late [09:51 am]
jsn13 : just 1 trade per day….either
u or mitch if that is possible… [09:52
am] Ed : i know for me would have to practice
that somehow, anything that take u away from
ur normal routine can be a
distraction [09:52 am] jsn13 : nvm
if it is not possible….thanks
anyway…. [09:53 am] mikewd2 -: SRPT at
support pivot? [09:53 am] jsn13 :
just a suggestion… [09:54 am] Ed : its
like an athelte, say quarterback, u tell him
to get mic tell us play by play. Only example
i could think of, im sure it would take some
getting use too. Not making an excuse just
being honest with you from my point of view
and type of personality I have [09:54 am]
jsn13 : the reason behind that is when
we go through real time examples, we can ask
specific questions or u can explain some of
ur unconcious thoughts… [09:55 am]
jsn13 : cos every trade looks easy
after the fact…but when we can only see the
left side of the trades, we tend to
overthink…. [09:55 am] Ed : see its
almost like u get into a zone, when ur at
peak [09:56 am] Ed : peak performance so
for me, that would mean u get some dead
silence [09:56 am] victor51 : Ed,
what stock you were discussing for reversed
cup handle? [09:57 am] Ed :
AAPL FB HPY
EZPW [09:57 am] Ed : any others [09:57
am] jsn13 : ok understand….just a
suggestion….thank u alot for ur time and
effort…. [09:59 am] Ed : that the thing
though jsn, if u study the charts quite a
bit, u will learn what the right side of
chart will look like based on left side. Not
from biased standpoint but using prev. day
and premarket as ur guide [10:00 am]
jsn13 : ok very good
suggestion….thank u alot…. [10:00 am]
Ed : a stock will either trade within those
ranges or outside [10:00 am] Ed : so as
trader u decide if u want to be pivot trader,
playing within ranges or breakout/breakdown
trader, playing outside of those
ranges [10:01 am] Ed : some traders are
both [10:01 am] Ed : or utilize
both [10:01 am] joeytsa : bottom
line is that it gives you a strategy to focus
on [10:01 am] joeytsa : which most
traders have a hard time finding [10:01
am] jsn13 : i wanna be
both…. [10:02 am] Ed : most important
which cant stress enough is understanding
from daily or 15min where u are in reference
to it. [10:02 am] Ed : where u are meaning
is stock uptrend or downtrend [10:02 am]
joeytsa : esp if you want to swing
trade [10:03 am] elisha : i’m
writing thid down Ed [10:03 am]
elisha : thid=this [10:04 am]
qwert : monitoring VVUS [10:04 am]
Ed : good idea elisha [10:05 am]
joeytsa : im finding trading very
boring today [10:06 am] mikewd2 -: me too
joey [10:06 am] Ed : why u think im jaw
boning so much [10:06 am] joeytsa :
at least its not me [10:06 am]
elisha : that’s probably because you
know too much [10:06 am] joeytsa :
wouldnt say that [10:06 am] Ed : i have
long way to go [10:06 am] joeytsa :
Ed’s lesson has been the biggest profit i had
today 🙂 [10:06 am] Ed : lo [10:07 am]
Ed : lol [10:07 am] Ed : always bet on
blue [10:07 am] qwert :
hahahaha [10:07 am] elisha : Ed, if
you say you have long way to go it spells
despair for us newbies [10:07 am] Ed : i
have also come a long way [10:08 am] Ed :
it just means that my learning will contniue
as long as i have yearning to imporve on my
skills [10:09 am] Ed : make sense
elisha [10:09 am] joeytsa : traders
always have to stay on their toes [10:10
am] elisha : It is this desire to
understand what the charts are
saying [10:10 am] Ed : and u will learn
it [10:11 am] elisha : It is just
like learning a second language, isn’t
it? [10:12 am] Ed : sure it depends on
person, but continue to study the chart
patterns, read and study technical analysis
by john murphy [10:12 am] Ed : he is great
start [10:13 am] taco : whats a good
book after that one? [10:13 am]
joeytsa : best trading book ever
written…you own trading journal
🙂 [10:13 am] doji : If APPL drops
near 620, that will be a nice target to go
long swing [10:13 am] elisha : for
instance – books about cups and
pivots [10:13 am] doji : I’ll go
however with options [10:14 am] doji

oooooooh [11:22 am] joeytsa : SHLD
50cent spike down [11:23 am] joeytsa
: yeah, i figured that since it was so early
in teh move that it had more upside..took it
just over 49 to the next pivot [11:31 am]
doji : NFLX hit 74…. [11:31 am]
mikewd2 -: yeah doji [11:31 am] doji
: Time to buy puts? [11:31 am] mikewd2 -:
at some point, haha [11:32 am]
joeytsa : has the 200ema aroudn $85 on
NFLX [11:32 am] mikewd2 -: yeah, could
easily push to that point [11:32 am]
joeytsa : 20ema close to crossing the
50 upwards [11:33 am] mikewd2 -: didn’t
understand Cramer comment on too late to
short NFLX [11:33 am] joeytsa : NFLX
hasnt been over teh 200 in over a year
now [11:33 am] mikewd2 -: unless he meant
earlier in the year [11:33 am]
joeytsa : i think he meant for the big
money [11:34 am] mikewd2 -: ok, makes
sense [11:34 am] joeytsa : im
guessing [11:34 am] mikewd2 -: HD
lod [11:36 am] joeytsa : HD has some
support around $60 [11:37 am] mikewd2 -:
60 works – haha [11:37 am] joeytsa :
been in a nice uptrend for a year [11:38
am] mikewd2 -: about time for it to
end! [11:38 am] joeytsa : said the
gambler after 7 reds showed up
🙂 [11:38 am] mikewd2 -: yeah [11:39
am] mikewd2 -: then my luck – it hits
green! [11:39 am] joeytsa : again,
like Ed said earlier, its all about your
style and risk amount etc [11:39 am]
mikewd2 -: just a couple options [11:40
am] mikewd2 -: not 100 like i use to do!
lol [11:40 am] joeytsa : smart way,
dip your toe in the water [11:40 am]
joeytsa : press it if it goes your
way [11:40 am] mikewd2 -: the new plan
joey [11:40 am] joeytsa : im more
conservative, would rather it show a sign of
turning first [11:41 am] mikewd2 -: HPQ
hit new lod [11:41 am] joeytsa : get
in later, but better odds of it
working [11:41 am] joeytsa : as a
trend ending type play [11:41 am] mikewd2
-: yeah, i need to learn that trick – i
always anticipate. [11:41 am] mikewd2 -:
bad habit. [11:42 am] joeytsa : but
tahts why you get great fills [11:42 am]
joeytsa : you know your risk and are
comfortable with it… [11:42 am] mikewd2
-: and with my new friend “the stop” not
getting hurt too bad if wrong. [11:42 am]
joeytsa : you might have more
stops/lower win%..but your wins when they
come will always be bigger than
mine [11:43 am] joeytsa : a lot of
it has to do with the mental side
also [11:44 am] joeytsa : how many
losses can you mentally take [11:44 am] Ed
: i like waking up as a winner in
vegas [11:44 am] joeytsa : dont sell
your hair to a wig shop hahah [11:44
am] Ed : have u seen my head [11:45 am]
joeytsa : yeah..you bought my latest
invention [11:45 am] Ed : lol [11:45
am] joeytsa : Staybald : gets rid of
unsightly hair 🙂 [11:45 am]
joeytsa : its working on me too
haha [11:46 am] Ed : yea but im only
19 [11:46 am] joeytsa : i forgot
🙂 [11:46 am] mikewd2 -: LLY moving
nicely [11:46 am] joeytsa : yeah,
wish i held it [11:46 am] mikewd2 -: glad
i closed the shorts [11:48 am] doji
: Dang my alarm in LLY at 50 didn’t
trigger…??? [11:48 am] Ed : thats what u
call bull cup breakout on 1minnute [11:48
am] joeytsa : yeah [11:48 am]
jsn13 : entry is for u 33 cents above
the break? [11:49 am] joeytsa :
doji: audio or pop up? [11:49 am]
joeytsa : jsn: entry would be more like
5-10cnets for me [11:49 am] joeytsa
: on a scalp [11:49 am] doji :
Audio [11:49 am] Ed : like i said earlier
use what u have back tested [11:50 am]
elisha : thx Ed [11:50 am]
elisha : thx Ed [11:50 am]
jsn13 : ok i see joey and
ed… [11:50 am] Ed : see .33 may work for
me, but I also take early positio on those so
technically its not .33 [11:50 am]
jsn13 : cos im using 8-10 cents on
scalp but heard ed said 33 cents… [11:50
am] jsn13 : ok thanks ed…. [11:50
am] joeytsa : everyone is
different [11:51 am] Ed : that why u must
be careful of listening to others [11:51
am] joeytsa : for me, it also depends
where my profit target is [11:51 am]
jsn13 : i just need a rough figure to
know that im not on the extreme
side… [11:51 am] joeytsa : its its
50cents above the break..waiting for a 33cent
move doesnt work [11:52 am] Ed :
exactly [11:52 am] joeytsa : if you
think its going to run for awhile..33cent
might be great though [11:52 am] Ed : see
i trade alot of high $ stocks too so thats
why i like using .33 and .70 [11:52 am]
joeytsa : good point [11:52 am]
jsn13 : ok i like agressive
entries….yup…thats where i asked about
using certain percentage
earlier…. [11:53 am] jsn13 : but
it seems no one is using it…. [11:53 am]
mikewd2 -: i use 35 cents for
breakouts [11:53 am] Ed : and its not
edgeed in stone, joey and i can trade same
stock use different entries and we both make
money [11:54 am] Ed : alot of time newbies
think its a magical number or
indicator [11:54 am] joeytsa : yep,
and sometimes both can lose or 1 wins while
the other loses [11:54 am] jsn13 :
yes…..understand….just like to have
references from experienced traders like u
guys….dont like to spend time inventing new
strategies….tweaking an existing one is
alot easier… [11:54 am] Ed : markets are
fluid, have to work in/out and
adjust [11:54 am] mikewd2 -: but adjust
that price based on H, L prior day, last hour
and premarket ranges. [11:55 am]
doji : In some words, trading is more
an art than science….no close but open
answers [11:56 am] joeytsa : if it
was a perfect situation there would never be
any losing trades [11:56 am] mikewd2 -:
right [11:56 am] jsn13 : having
references is definitely important for
newbies…. [11:56 am] qwert :
watching CSTR [11:56 am] Ed : learn
basics, downtrend, uptrend spotting those,
not chasing flowing with trend. When u get
basic foundation of understanding right side
to be on, u can always work on getting better
entries/exits [11:57 am] joeytsa :
agreeed [11:57 am] mikewd2 -: remember Ken
shoots for 30% winners, that means 70% of
time you were wrong. [11:57 am] mikewd2 -:
but you have to maximize your winners or you
will overall be a loser. [11:57 am]
joeytsa : in baseball that gets you
$1M/yr [11:57 am] Ed : right, and with his
stlye he take real small losses [11:57 am]
mikewd2 -: yep [11:57 am] taco : ken
who? [11:57 am] mikewd2 -: Ken
Calhoun [11:58 am] mikewd2 -: Its not a
strategy that i’m seeing is a really good fit
for me. [11:58 am] doji : Ken
“Moody” [11:58 am] joeytsa : at 4:1
odds, a 20% win% breaks you even, minus
commissions [11:58 am] joeytsa :
money being equal [11:59 am] mikewd2 -:
One note, if you don’t minimize your losses
and maximize your winning trades. Don’t think
you can make money doing day
trading. [12:00 pm] joeytsa :
right [12:01 pm] joeytsa : speaking
of odds, the presidential odds have kept
lowering since the debates [12:01 pm]
mikewd2 -: yeah, looking better for
Romney [12:01 pm] joeytsa : now down
to $300 -$100, from $480 [12:01 pm]
mikewd2 -: wow [12:01 pm] mikewd2 -: has
come down [12:02 pm] joeytsa : might
fall more after ryan makes biden really
mad haha [12:02 pm] mikewd2 -:
lol [12:02 pm] mikewd2 -: hope
so [12:02 pm] joeytsa : biden’s face
will start turning red, then he will make one
of his gaffes haha [12:04 pm]
joeytsa : saw the CSTR drop and missed
the play [12:16 pm] doji : At this
pace the SPY will end positive for the
day…. [12:17 pm] joeytsa : SRPT
decent move past 10 minutes [12:17 pm]
doji : Alcoa reports tomorrow after the
close, right? [12:17 pm] joeytsa :
yes and YUM [12:17 pm] joeytsa :
bigger names are next week though [12:18
pm] joeytsa : some banks this week
too [12:18 pm] joeytsa : JPM,WFC on
friday [12:18 pm] mikewd2 -: if YUM has
killer numbers especially on taco bell, could
hurt CMG per analysis. [12:19 pm]
joeytsa : COST is weds, another one to
watch is JBHT on thurs [12:20 pm]
joeytsa : with FDX giving a
warning, if JBHT warns, might signal
some ugliness [12:21 pm] taco :
thanks for the lessons today. see you
tomorrow [12:21 pm] Ed : c ya
taco [12:21 pm] mikewd2 -: nice bounce in
CLF, WLT [12:22 pm] qwert : bye
