<danshirley>  U.S. stock futures are pointing to a slightly higher open Friday after a November employment report that showed solid job growth, but left investors with no reason to fear the economy was overheating. 09:19

after U.S. job growth recovered in November, with 215,000 new jobs created, the best one-month performance since July, the Labor Department said. 09:20

The unemployment rate held steady at 5%.

<NihabaAshi>  I have two different sources that saids Greenspan speaking at 9am est and 9:45am est :( 10:17
<PapaJon>  they saying that greenie speaking already.. but.. they dont show it on tv yet

yah.. same here niha
<NihabaAshi>  I became a little suspicious because of the price movement in EuroFX... 10:18
 It's a great gauge to over-reaction when someone important is speaking.
<eminitrader>  Dan mentioned 11.15
<PapaJon>  niha... where has FFT been... is he ok? 10:19
<NihabaAshi>  Yes...I see him posting a few times recently at EliteTrader.com 10:20

I keep forgetting to email him to find out what's going on.

He could be taking a break from trading...not sure.
<PapaJon>  ah... hope all is well with him... i like that guy 10:21

<NihabaAshi>  I'll email him over the weekend to find out what's up...
  Sometimes posting trades can be a distraction when things are getting a little frustrating. 10:31
  Reason why you'll see me take a lot of "personal breaks" during the trading day...away from IRC and away from the market. 10:32
<WannaBeBOS>  i agree. i always like fft 10:33

<jbraswell>  anything just happen?
<coolweb>  yeah

price action is wrong for a rally.
<NihabaAshi>  I blame that stop out on the VIX/VXN suddenly reversing back upwards :(
<eminitrader>  thats 1265
<NihabaAshi>  Coolweb...agree...I'm about to change from BULLISH bias to a NEUTRAL bias.
<jbraswell>  i meant newswise 10:51
<szubaark_>  Nice swings with momentum both ways, I love it.
<NihabaAshi>  jb...could be greenspan related if he's still speaking right now.
<jbraswell>  well, prior to that drop, kudos to you guys if you could detect bearish price action amidst a move up all morning 10:53
<szubaark_>  jb its not about "detecting" anything because its impossible to detect anything in this racket, its taking your signals 10:54
<eminitrader>  i would have changed to long if 1268,50 was broken 10:55
 on the ES
<jbraswell>  referring to cool's comment, szu
<eminitrader>  was 1 tick befor reversing my position
<jbraswell>  i figured we'd tag yesterday's high, get a pullback and keep driving up... 10:56

maybe we still will, but a deeper pullback than i expected
<eminitrader>  morn move was basically a move from yesterday's 40% retracement to the dot
  Covered 1/3 ES Short @ 1264.50 --> + 1.5 10:58
<szubaark_>  Covered 1/2 YM Short @ 10910 --> + 15

lots people in other room going Long on this pullback, that made me so much more condifent in my Short hehe 10:59
<jbraswell>  good job
 i'm still gonna wait until we get below this morning's consolidation before thinking short
<coolweb>  jbraswell: bearish action for me , mainly means the risk to entry to LONG would be more, I wouldn't short on the tops, its a flip of the coin

so don't need to always take a trade :) 11:00
<NihabaAshi>  I'm still BULLISH Bias...I think ER2 would need to drop down to around 684.00 for my bias to change to BEARISH. 11:05
<jbraswell>  cool, then you're saying you'd be looking for longs now? 11:06
<NihabaAshi>  That's about 4-5 points window of choppiness or churning...
  Reducing my overall size...too much risk now.
 jb...I'm looking for both Longs and Shorts...just no longer as aggressive and reducing my overall position size...ER2 has too large of a window of price movement. 11:07
<mispe>  Long YM @ 10910 11:08
<jbraswell>  gotcha, niha 11:11
