[12:31] k [12:31] * Loxley has an uncanny ability to short into a rise. :/ [12:31] If it doesn't look like those charts I posted the other day...it most likely isn't a Bearish Engulfing signal. [12:32] * Loxley doesn't understand candles yet. But will, eventually. [12:32] That Bearish Engulfing @ 1155am est is visually...a nice setup. [12:33] * Loxley decides to play along with everyone else. "They want a rally? I'll give 'em a rally." [12:33] I only got +0.25 points out of it after I didn't get filled at 882.25 [12:34] I'm still pssst about that. [12:34] 1min chart ? hmmm... I don´t have any at 1155am [12:34] * Loxley covers his short at 1096 for a 40 buck loss. [12:35] * Loxley buys NQ at 1095, and will just hold it for a while and see what happens.

[12:46] but changed my stop and tried to get filled at a better price when that long red candle appeared 1202pm - 1203pm est. [12:47] I didn't get filled it bounced very strongly. [12:47] By the way...I've been using IB for the past few days...not sure if that has anything to do with it. [12:48] crazy, my TS chart looks totally different -- no engulfing pattern at 1155 area :/ [12:48] Kalle...can you "visually" see the difference between what you thought was a Bearish Engulfing? [12:49] Hey, I have a question... is there some fixed number of contracts? I'm wondering if there's not some method similar to "card counting" in blackjack that might give one a clue about what to do. I mean, if you know how many folks are buying and selling at a given price, shouldn't you be able to track that and determine smething meaninful out of it? [12:49] My stop is 891.00 [12:50] yes, Niha :) [12:50] 0,2 exit remainder ES @ 891.00 --> - 5.5 [12:51] That's incorrect...it should be -10 points. [12:51] from the original short position. [12:52] -10 on the 881.00 Short Entry and -5.50 on the 885.50 Short Entry (2nd one at that price). [12:55] Hmmm...total ES today - 11 points. [12:56] 0,4 Shorts ES @ 891.75 4,0 ŤŤ paper ťť [12:56] Also...I'm at 6 roundtrip trades for the day...one more trade and I reach my personal limit. [12:57] 0,4 Shorts ES @ 891.25 -> medium size [12:57] Last trade of the day. [12:58] 0,4 Shorts ES @ 891.50 [12:58] ditto, last attempt to catch this short. [13:00] Jazz...I got 9 contracts...thus... [13:00] * Loxley sells NQ at 1099.5 for a 5 point gain. "Hit my sell stop." [13:01] I'm only looking for a minimum of +1.25 point profit on this short to be plus for the day. [13:01] I see, we might get a nice move here. [13:02] Bingo :) [13:02] * Loxley shorts NQ at 1097.50 [13:02] 0,2 exited 1/2 0,3 Short: 889 --> + 2.75 4,0 ŤŤ paper ťť [13:03] cnn screen looks like a steven sigal movie. [13:03] 0,2 exit 2/3 ES @ 888.50 --> + 2.75 [13:03] 0,2 exited 1/4 0,3 Short: 888.25 --> + 3.5 4,0 ŤŤ paper ťť [13:05] 0,2 exit 2/3 ES @ 887 --> + 4.5 [13:05] * Loxley covers short NQ 10 1093.50 for 4 poitns. [13:05] 0,2 exited remainder 0,3 Short: 887.5 --> + 4.25 4,0 ŤŤ paper ťť [13:06] Hey all...one thing I like about this room... [13:07] we know how to bounce back :) [13:07] :) [13:07] I'm just glad this is all play money. :) [13:07] in my case, that is. [13:07] we're not gonna let ES scares us. [13:07] its interesting - they announce A day will start and it goes up [13:07] then the bombs hit and it goes down [13:08] war is irrational [13:08] If Saddam survives this...I may want to learn more about his god. [13:08] :) [13:09] I thought he was an atheist, personally. [13:09] I know he follows Stalin's teachings or at least admires it greatly. [13:10] Geeessh...FOX tv looks like 4th of July. [13:10] So are they going ahead with "Shock and Awe?" [13:11] * Loxley is 90 dollars up after 18 trades (all over the map, they were...) commission fees would be eating me alive if this were for real. [13:11] Yep. [13:12] 0,6 exit stop set ES @ 891.00 [13:12] THey are talking like this Shock and Awe thing is going to be something really unique and unheard of... but we've done massive bombardments before. Unless they NUKE 'em I don't see what's so different. [13:12] I think I can get the 200eMA on the 1min all session chart for my remainder...reason why I'm still holding it. [13:13] No...Loxley...these are different types of Bombs and they are aimed at Government targets, Pipelines in Bagdad, Presidential Palace and so on... [13:14] They didn't do that in 1991 [13:14] They also plan on using some sort'uv MOTHER OF ALL BOMBS on IRAQ... [13:15] a bomb that wasn't made until a few years ago. [13:16] It's possible...they have already used it today. [13:18] Eminis don't look healthy... [13:19] if they don't retrace all of that strong uptrend before they hyping of Saddam's possible death... [13:19] I'll be very surprise. [13:21] below 886.75, clear water to 881 [13:21] Traders in other rooms are saying to Short whenever the bombs fall...cover when they stop falling. [13:23] 3 other major IRAQ cities are being bombarded. [13:23] yes, exciting. [13:24] BBC saids IRAQ no longer has the ability to fire missles at neighbor countries. [13:25] in any case, we're ready. [13:26] 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...strictly enforced. [13:26] we have new missles that can intercept their missles. [13:26] We had Patriot anti missile missiles back in 91. [13:27] its in use today too [13:27] 0,6 exit stop lowered ES @ 890.75 [13:28] 0,2 exit remainder ES @ 889.25 --> + 2.25 [13:29] * Loxley remembers a Rocky and Bullwinkle episode where Boris and Natasha were trying to steal the plans to the "Anti Anti Missile Missile Missile." [13:35] Hey, why do people sell stock when we bomb iraq? I would think that the removal of uncertainty would be seen as positive news? [13:38] Rumsfeld on TV ? [13:39] Loxley...it was positive news...that's what helped fueled that power uptrend. [13:39] Yet...like most news like this...it usually retraces at least 1/2 of the trend. [13:40] People say "What the heck did I just do?" or "buyers remorse?" [13:41] I got my stop in a good spot...lets see if it can hold so that I have a chance at my profit-target. [13:43] Bombs are falling again...but I don't see traders Shorting in other rooms. [13:43] done for the day, see you next week. [13:44] Gah... NQ just fell through the floor. [13:44] Take care Jazz and be safe. [13:44] Seeya, Jazz. [13:44] bye, Jazz [13:44] bye all [13:44] going to a Jazz concert. [13:45]
