let the ER pop influence me

682.40 some support on ER 11:36

<X> #FuturesTrades Info -> This room is only for Trade Posting (real or paper) and/or discussions about a posted trade or key market events that could affect a trader's open trade position. LURKING not allowed..strictly enforced. 12:53

<NihabaAshi> Not much trading today...nothing unusual for the week leading into New Years Day. 12:57

<cashflowme> hard to find a setup 12:58

<pat255> but these last couple of days have been almost too slow to bear 12:59

<cashflowme> 65.50 @ 12:32 had a divergence buy but missed it, too late to chase 13:00

<NihabaAshi> Long ER2 @ 685.10 -> small size

Intuition trade...no trade signal from my methods. 13:01

Only risking 1 contract :)

<cashflowme> Short es 6.25 13:09

<pat255> nq 39k at this time of the day. really pitiful, relative to ym

<cashflowme> 66.25 13:10

<WannaBeBOS> oil running some 13:15

<cashflowme> risking 1 pt 13:16

target 65.75 13:21

stop 67.25

<codehead> YM dead stop, large offer still sitting at 10849, but i have a hunch he really hope to not find a buyer 13:28

<cashflowme> half out 65.75 13:32

new stop 66.75 13:34

no guts today 13:35

<codehead> sheesh, i have 9 ticks today on 5 YM trades 13:40

<cashflowme> lots of pro traders on vacation

<codehead> at this point, i'd shoot myself if i went out red on a boring day like this 13:42

so i'll go long, paper, at 10848 YM

stop 10839

taionale is that, just looking at this week intraday, i see 20 down but 100 up 13:45

don't think we have the buyers for 100 up, but just testing the theory 13:46

(that was "rationale"

<jbraswell> 20 down? What does that mean?

<codehead> just looking at lows of the week 13:47

20 below my stop

roughly

<jbraswell> ah, I see 13:48

thx

<codehead> i'm jsut bored jb

<jbraswell> me too

and in the red

<cashflowme> red is common holiday weeks

<codehead> lol 13:49

well, that's why this is a paper trade, scraped a few trades together for enough to buy lunch, don't want it too take a dinner out of me

woo, a 70 contract buy on YM 10850 13:54

<cashflowme> ready to throw in the towel 13:56

all out 65.50 13:57

5/8 on 4 es contracts 14:00

reason for that trade was divergence on 1 minute, not confirmed on 3 minute 14:01

so went small

<codehead> YM wants to try 14:06

just noticed GM went green form new low 14:07

<cashflowme> wakey wakey 14:10

<codehead> dang, had been planning to buy 10850 break until i lapsed into a coma from boredom

<szubaark_away> cool?

* szubaark_away is now known as szubaark 14:11

<codehead> YM testing resistance

<cashflowme> es broke resistance and fell back 14:13

<codehead> ER tapped the high again

<cashflowme> choppy divergence short es on 3 minute 14:14

not going to take it 14:15

done for now

<codehead> move stop YM 10854 (paper) 14:16

<cashflowme> es short confirmed on 3 minute 14:18

not on 1 minute

my mistake, not yet confirmed, candle hasn't closed 14:19

<codehead> ER testing hod 14:21

<szubaark> calm before the storm? 14:23

<codehead> calm before the slightly less clam?

oops

calm

<szubaark> code ive seen them do some weird stuff before

<cashflowme> short 3 minute now confirmed, if anyone cares, on es 14:24

<codehead> well, my hunch today has been for eod run up

but remains to be seen if enough volume for a run either way

<NihabaAshi> VIX trying to be a spoiler for me trade...it wasn't doing anything counter-trend until a few minutes ago :( 14:26

<szubaark> Long YM @ 10862

<NihabaAshi> Exited ER2 Long @ 685.50 --> + 0.4 14:28

I'm now back to a NEUTRAL bias for the trading day.

<cashflowme> cool

tough slog

<pat255> trading here is very iffy ...with so low vol can jerk around.. 14:29

<codehead> move stop to 10858 fro +1- 14:37

for +10

out YM +10 (paper)

was going to sell at 10854 stop or eod, but decided i'd prolly bail here if it was a real trade 14:38

GM hod 14:40

stop buy in YM 10861 14:42

pull my paper stop buy 14:48

could still get that push 14:57

<szubaark> Exited all YM Long @ 10846 --> - 16 15:09

Shorts YM @ 10846 15:10

here come the fireworks 15:11

Covered 1/2 YM Short @ 10826 --> + 20 15:18

<togglex> sigh, i went to take a dump at 1500h 15:19

<codehead> so did mkt

<substanz> Long YM @ 10827 «« paper »»

<szubaark> lets see if they hammer this down some more 15:20

<codehead> well, there's the week's lows test on YM that i spoke of earlier 15:23

got within a tick of it

<substanz> Exited all YM Long @ 10825 --> - 2 «« paper »» 15:24

<danshirley> The only 'event' I see is that bonds closed with a firmly inverted yield curve 15:29

it was the inversion of the yield curve that caused the drop on tuesday 15:31

(MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks fell into negative territory Thursday, as an inversion in the Treasury yield curve unnerved investors and offset a better-than-expected reading of manufacturing activity in the Chicago region and a sharp bounce in General Motors. 15:37

The Treasury yield curve -- the spread in the interest rates paid by shorter-term and longer-term maturities -- which was virtually flat for most of the session, inverted in the final hour of trading to spook investors. 15:38

It's so irrational because the curve has been flat for a long time and to panic because it flops to one side or the other makes not a lot of sense 15:39

<szubaark> will hold it til last minute, you never know with these clowns 15:50

<codehead> nice job 16:00

10804

<szubaark> Covered all YM Short @ 10809 --> + 37 16:01

profit for day, Im Happy.

<codehead> awesome trade for a narrow day like this

<szubaark> code, you never know what these punks have up their sleeve 16:02

[14:24] <szubaark> code ive seen them do some weird stuff before

<codehead> yeah, i shoulda been hedging short when it couldn't break 10862 area

dow cash didn't give up the intraday low for the week, but YM sure did 16:04

<szubaark> I was expecting Niha to jump on that dark WRB

<szubaark> how is it going now? 16:15

	taionale is that, just looking at this week intraday, i see 20 down but 100 up	13:45
	don't think we have the buyers for 100 up, but just testing the theory	13:46
	(that was "rationale"
<jbraswell>	20 down? What does that mean?
<codehead>	just looking at lows of the week	13:47

	well, that's why this is a paper trade, scraped a few trades together for enough to buy lunch, don't want it too take a dinner out of me
	woo, a 70 contract buy on YM 10850	13:54
<cashflowme>	ready to throw in the towel	13:56
	all out 65.50	13:57
	5/8 on 4 es contracts	14:00
	reason for that trade was divergence on 1 minute, not confirmed on 3 minute	14:01
	so went small

<danshirley>	The only 'event' I see is that bonds closed with a firmly inverted yield curve	15:29
	it was the inversion of the yield curve that caused the drop on tuesday	15:31
	(MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks fell into negative territory Thursday, as an inversion in the Treasury yield curve unnerved investors and offset a better-than-expected reading of manufacturing activity in the Chicago region and a sharp bounce in General Motors.	15:37
	The Treasury yield curve -- the spread in the interest rates paid by shorter-term and longer-term maturities -- which was virtually flat for most of the session, inverted in the final hour of trading to spook investors.	15:38
	It's so irrational because the curve has been flat for a long time and to panic because it flops to one side or the other makes not a lot of sense	15:39
<szubaark>	will hold it til last minute, you never know with these clowns	15:50
