11:23 Henry: Shelli, thatisa Head and shoulders
11:24 Henry: I think
11:24 Shelli Patience: it may be
11:24 Shelli Patience: also looks like possible cup n handle
11:24 Henry: If so, where should it resolve ?
11:25 Shelli Patience: 5.25 from break of neckline
11:25 Shelli Patience: so h-l and then subtract from low
11:26 Shelli Patience: H=800 L=794.75
11:26 Shelli Patience: so 794.75-5.25
11:27 Henry: 789.50 is the exact 50% retrace
11:27 Shelli Patience: yes
11:27 DonB.: http://206.71.64.13:12001/graphics/wed/HF536766-16.png
11:27 Shelli Patience: and would produce a nice abcd
11:28 Shelli Patience: however neckline has to break
11:28 DonB: If the AB=CD line follows through, the H&S would be completed
11:28 DonB: just a guess
11:28 Shelli Patience: we also need to be aware of the abcd up also just in case
11:29 DonB: will try a sell at 800 (on paper)
11:29 Shelli Patience: http://www.tradingtutor.com/charts/2009-04-01 11-29 ES #F 2.png
11:29 DonB: true
11:30 Shelli Patience: one thing you always want to do is draw any of the possibilities that could happen so your ready one way or the other
11:31 DonB: the proper selling point for the H&S would be around 796.25 - 796.50 I would think
11:31 Shelli Patience: moot point now
11:31 Shelli Patience: I like to look for the neckline break
11:32 DonB: :) going with the AB=CD.

12:25 PDQ: Here's another version of market timing by Joe Ross.........
12:28 koolblue: one covered at 802.75...plus 1.5... still short the other..stop at 805.50
12:29 megatron1981: be back in 10
12:29 LordAlfa: current 1 min 1 bar proj 01.25
12:29 koolblue: looking to cover the other as close to 800.50 as I can tho lower is very possible!
12:30 LordAlfa: 802.
12:30 LordAlfa: 99.25
12:31 LordAlfa: 1 off 802
12:33 LordAlfa: stop 05.25
12:33 koolblue: stop on the remaining short lowered to break even at 804.25
12:34 LordAlfa: MACD is flat. it can go either way.
12:34 LordAlfa: On the 5 min
12:35 LordAlfa: current 1 min proj up 04.25
12:36 LordAlfa: If it goes up there and swings down, makes an ABC downward.
12:37 LordAlfa: actually 50% retrace from is complete. So the abc can be valid. If there is 2 bars down on the 610T chart.
12:38 VO: flat 1.50
12:38 LordAlfa: 127.2=799.25
12:38 koolblue: out the other half at 801.50
12:38 LordAlfa: stop 04
12:39 koolblue: plus 2.75 on that one....
12:39 koolblue: now up 5.25 on the day
12:40 megatron1981: b @ 801
12:42 LordAlfa: current 1 min up proj 02.50
12:44 koolblue: megatron what stops are you using for these .5 - 100 trades?
12:44 megatron1981: if im scalping I usually use 1.5 - 2 points, but when buying off floor levels, it's 3 points,
12:45 koolblue: for a 1 handle profit?!!??
12:45 LordAlfa: megatron, are you basing your entries on the Sochastic 14,3,3 Xover?
12:45 megatron1981: yes, I win like 80% of the time so my expected profit for scalps is 0.50 or so
12:46 megatron1981: no, floor levels using big contract S&P futures
12:46 koolblue: thats a risk reward of NEGATIVE 2:1 !!!!
12:46 megatron1981: but I win 80 -90% of the time
12:46 koolblue: NOT TODAY!
12:47 LordAlfa: Means if you lose 2 pt, you need to make 4 trades to BE
12:47 megatron1981: im still up slighty, not as much as I was before I got stopped out for 3 points
12:47 megatron1981: :(
12:47 John: At 80%, though, your break even risk-reward is at 4 to 1?
12:48 megatron1981: I only scalp like 2 - 3 times a day, most of my trading is quasi-swing moves
12:48 PT: what's your win % if you use a 1 point stop ?
12:49 koolblue: good luck, pal!
12:49 koolblue: paper trading is much easier than real!!!
12:49 megatron1981: no idea man, I usually use 3 point stops for swing moves -
12:49 PT: 2 ticks is not a swing
12:50 megatron1981: "quasi"
12:50 PT: 2 ticks is noise
12:50 megatron1981: to me it's a swing :) sclaping is 0.25 - .75 imho
12:50 jimmy: you can make money in noise
12:51 PT: ok
12:51 koolblue: on paper, jimmy, not in real trading!
12:51 LordAlfa: stop 02.50
12:52 jimmy: real trading too
12:52 megatron1981: I agree, im far too conservative in real trading - with time hopefully it'll get better
12:54 PT: the average range is 30 points, why trade for 2 ticks ?
12:54 PT: in this volatility , you should be going for 2 points minimum
12:55 VO: different strokes for different folks
12:56 megatron1981: exactly
12:56 icepick: wouldnt a 3 point stop on 2 ticks be a 6:1 risk/ reward? regardless of win %, yikes !!!!
12:57 PT: risking 3 points to make 2 ticks is not mathemetically sound, unless you are at 100% win rate
12:57 LordAlfa: It ok. As long as you make profit. Just that you should ask your broker for free lunch everyday.
12:57 jimmy: huge risk wil never work ,
12:57 PT: math is math
12:57 PT: no amount of delusion will change the math
12:58 jimmy: absolutely right
12:59 icepick: PT, "trading in the zone" really made me look at things differently, I would strongly recommend that book to anyone willing to honestly analyze their trading

The big drop foreshadows a huge decline in the non-farm payroll reading in the government's employment report that will be released on Friday, some analysts said.

11:23 Henry: Shelli, thatisa Head and shoulders
11:24 Henry: I think
11:24 Shelli Patience: it may be
11:24 Shelli Patience: also looks like possible cup n handle
11:24 Henry: If so, where should it resolve ?
11:25 Shelli Patience: 5.25 from break of neckline
11:25 Shelli Patience: so h-l and then subtract from low
11:26 Shelli Patience: H=800 L=794.75
11:26 Shelli Patience: so 794.75-5.25
11:27 Henry: 789.50 is the exact 50% retrace
11:27 Shelli Patience: yes
11:27 DonB.: http://206.71.64.13:12001/graphics/wed/HF536766-16.png
11:27 Shelli Patience: and would produce a nice abcd
11:28 Shelli Patience: however neckline has to break
11:28 DonB: If the AB=CD line follows through, the H&S would be completed
11:28 DonB: just a guess
11:28 Shelli Patience: we also need to be aware of the abcd up also just in case
11:29 DonB: will try a sell at 800 (on paper)
11:29 Shelli Patience: http://www.tradingtutor.com/charts/2009-04-01 11-29 ES #F 2.png
11:29 DonB: true
11:30 Shelli Patience: one thing you always want to do is draw any of the possibilities that could happen so your ready one way or the other
11:31 DonB: the proper selling point for the H&S would be around 796.25 - 796.50 I would think
11:31 Shelli Patience: moot point now
11:31 Shelli Patience: I like to look for the neckline break
11:32 DonB: :) going with the AB=CD.

12:29 megatron1981: be back in 10
12:29 LordAlfa: current 1 min 1 bar proj 01.25
12:29 koolblue: looking to cover the other as close to 800.50 as I can tho lower is very possible!
12:30 LordAlfa: 802.
12:30 LordAlfa: 99.25
12:31 LordAlfa: 1 off 802
12:33 LordAlfa: stop 05.25
12:33 koolblue: stop on the remaining short lowered to break even at 804.25
12:34 LordAlfa: MACD is flat. it can go either way.
12:34 LordAlfa: On the 5 min
12:35 LordAlfa: current 1 min proj up 04.25
12:36 LordAlfa: If it goes up there and swings down, makes an ABC downward.
12:37 LordAlfa: actually 50% retrace from is complete. So the abc can be valid. If there is 2 bars down on the 610T chart.
12:38 VO: flat 1.50
12:38 LordAlfa: 127.2=799.25
12:38 koolblue: out the other half at 801.50
12:38 LordAlfa: stop 04
12:39 koolblue: plus 2.75 on that one....
12:39 koolblue: now up 5.25 on the day
12:40 megatron1981: b @ 801
12:42 LordAlfa: current 1 min up proj 02.50
12:44 koolblue: megatron what stops are you using for these .5 - 100 trades?
12:44 megatron1981: if im scalping I usually use 1.5 - 2 points, but when buying off floor levels, it's 3 points,
12:45 koolblue: for a 1 handle profit?!!??
12:45 LordAlfa: megatron, are you basing your entries on the Sochastic 14,3,3 Xover?
12:45 megatron1981: yes, I win like 80% of the time so my expected profit for scalps is 0.50 or so
12:46 megatron1981: no, floor levels using big contract S&P futures
12:46 koolblue: thats a risk reward of NEGATIVE 2:1 !!!!
12:46 megatron1981: but I win 80 -90% of the time
12:46 koolblue: NOT TODAY!
12:47 LordAlfa: Means if you lose 2 pt, you need to make 4 trades to BE
12:47 megatron1981: im still up slighty, not as much as I was before I got stopped out for 3 points
12:47 megatron1981: :(
12:47 John: At 80%, though, your break even risk-reward is at 4 to 1?
12:48 megatron1981: I only scalp like 2 - 3 times a day, most of my trading is quasi-swing moves
12:48 PT: what's your win % if you use a 1 point stop ?
12:49 koolblue: good luck, pal!
12:49 koolblue: paper trading is much easier than real!!!
12:49 megatron1981: no idea man, I usually use 3 point stops for swing moves -
12:49 PT: 2 ticks is not a swing
12:50 megatron1981: "quasi"
12:50 PT: 2 ticks is noise
12:50 megatron1981: to me it's a swing :) sclaping is 0.25 - .75 imho
12:50 jimmy: you can make money in noise
12:51 PT: ok
12:51 koolblue: on paper, jimmy, not in real trading!
12:51 LordAlfa: stop 02.50
12:52 jimmy: real trading too
12:52 megatron1981: I agree, im far too conservative in real trading - with time hopefully it'll get better
12:54 PT: the average range is 30 points, why trade for 2 ticks ?
12:54 PT: in this volatility , you should be going for 2 points minimum
12:55 VO: different strokes for different folks
12:56 megatron1981: exactly
12:56 icepick: wouldnt a 3 point stop on 2 ticks be a 6:1 risk/ reward? regardless of win %, yikes !!!!
12:57 PT: risking 3 points to make 2 ticks is not mathemetically sound, unless you are at 100% win rate
12:57 LordAlfa: It ok. As long as you make profit. Just that you should ask your broker for free lunch everyday.
12:57 jimmy: huge risk wil never work ,
12:57 PT: math is math
12:57 PT: no amount of delusion will change the math
12:58 jimmy: absolutely right

14:15 bruce9432: Private employers cut jobs by a record 742,000 in March versus a 706,000 revised cut in February that was originally reported at 697,000 jobs, said ADP, which has been carrying out the survey since 2001.
The big drop foreshadows a huge decline in the non-farm payroll reading in the government's employment report that will be released on Friday, some analysts said.

16:22 John: Because the gov is giving them a free put at our expense...
16:22 LordAlfa: LOL John.
16:23 Vast524: Just more power to China. They are the biggest buyer of all this. They are the biggest buyer of the Australian bocds now.
16:23 John: Sickeningly funny, but it is part of the PPIP plan...
16:26 palmer: US dont have the cloat anymore
16:26 palmer: europe thinks US caused it
16:26 Vast524: If they keep printing money, value goes down, inflation goes up, interest goes up (This applies to Australia as well) Our Prime Minister seems bent on trying to change the world. He is always trying to be on the world scene.
16:26 palmer: VO- no one want to have pain

07:37 palmer: GM traders
07:44 PT: good morning palmer
07:44 palmer: what's up PT
07:45 PT: not the ES !
07:45 palmer: :)
07:45 palmer: we only got to 838 overnight
07:45 palmer: I guess we could see 818 or lower today
07:48 PT: well a 4 bar projection on the 15 gives 825.75
07:49 PT: using the full move to 833.50
07:50 palmer: oh playing it?
07:50 PT: no, was just trying to find a projection
07:51 palmer: I have a 822.25 proj
07:51 palmer: I was looking at that
07:51 PT: ok, what is that from ?
07:51 palmer: 7:30 15 min
07:52 PT: ok
07:52 PT: gap fill right there also palmer
07:53 PT: close on 4/8 was 822.50
07:55 palmer: yep
07:55 palmer: I will definitely try a buy there if we get there
07:56 PT: yep
07:58 palmer: and look where the 15 bands are now
07:58 palmer: lower band
08:15 palmer: band getting lower and lower
08:17 Margie: Vo, what is your thought about a rising diagonal being retraced to where it began and normally further? I am taking that information from Prechter's book. That would bring us to at least 779.
08:31 VO: margie that is a good point...i would argue that it started with the 3/30 low of 75.50. thats why yest I told pops that I wasnt sure we would get even a 50% retrace
08:32 VO: btw our daily proj. was just hit at 24.25
08:34 VO: margie you also have to try and determine if we just finished a "ending" or a "leading" diagonal. same pattern the difference tween the two is where it happens (1 or A vs 5 or C)
08:40 Margie: Ok, VO, thanks. it's never easy, is it?
08:42 VO: I get to start the day down 6 handles cause my globex trade didnt work...i had an order to take 1 @ 38.25, which was 5 handles from entry and the 261.8 from abc. Price did touch 38.25 but to no surprise I wasnt filled. I had my other target @ 43.25. o well, no hill for a climber like me.

09:41 LordAlfa: Anyone know which IP ports Zenfire uses for the feeds? I want to put them on high priority inthe firewall QoS
09:41 LordAlfa: exceeded 15 min project 29
09:41 PopStocks: yup PT 822, glad you were listening : )
09:41 bruce9432: Frozen data
09:42 LordAlfa: Globex is much better to trade than yesterday afternoon.
09:42 bruce9432: I am in another chat and they are all bitchin about it
09:43 LordAlfa: Check all the IP ports that you guys are using. maybe that's where the jam is.
09:43 PopStocks: short 831/833, a gimme trade if I ever saw one
09:44 LordAlfa: I shorted 35.75. Just took profits at 27. Just came home.
09:45 VO: l 1 @ 29.50
09:45 PopStocks: well done LA
09:46 LordAlfa: Didn't hit 21.
09:46 VO: will add down
09:46 PopStocks: bearish abc of globex levels 50% retrace
09:47 mrg22: lva -830.25
09:48 LordAlfa: 32.75?
09:51 PopStocks: I think we will hit 800 near eod
09:53 PopStocks: 37 is brick wall imo, path of least resistance is to the downside here.
some point today or tomorrow. the latter would likely try some bouce into later in the week, which should hold at or well
below the prior high of 875 (resistance low-to-mid 850's), then should be followed by a continued break to lower lows into
late-April. here is the hourly cycle/channel chart updated to yesterday's close:
09:54 VO: offer 32.50
09:56 PopStocks: if this is a bearish ab=cd forming on the 24hr 3200tick, then 832.50 should be top
09:58 PashaLV: bid @ 26.75
10:01 palmer: short 829
10:02 megatron1981: bought @ 27.50
10:02 palmer: ou t827 +2
10:03 PopStocks: well done palmer, you'll get to 800 today if you are patient imo
10:07 prestwickdrive: 727 sq 9
10:08 prestwickdrive: 827
10:10 megatron1981: sold @28.75 for +1.25
10:13 PopStocks: Channel to watch http://twitpic.com/3pp9r/full
10:14 LordAlfa: regression channel
10:15 PopStocks: nope just hand drawn
10:15 PopStocks: but it's so spot on it may as well be from regresion : )
10:15 LordAlfa: Was looking for 21 but couldn't bear the retrace. I had 3 contracts all in one basket.
10:16 LordAlfa: It is an ABC for the upside but might be a bait.
10:16 Robin: http://206.71.64.13:12001/graphics/tue/Robin187 3-2137.png
10:16 PopStocks: shipsa goin down guys, short is the way
10:17 LordAlfa: The end of the rally. I hope friends with stocks off loaded or broke even. I told them to get rid of it.
10:18 prestwickdrive: gap = 33.0
10:18 LordAlfa: AB=CD Robin? You are very good in looking for this.
10:18 PopStocks: 822 is just begging to be tested, 823 false support
10:19 PopStocks: why, because the market profile for the past month says so
10:19 LordAlfa: Buy 24 for a quick scalp.
10:23 LordAlfa: Pops, 817.50 is the 423.6% of that abc of the top.
10:23 PopStocks: yup
10:23 PopStocks: also an important mp level
10:23 PopStocks: 822, 817, 810, 800, 770
10:23 LordAlfa: 817 level will be a major bounce
10:23 prestwickdrive: bav trend on quotetracker
10:24 PopStocks: i've told him that before as well prest : )
10:25 PopStocks: I don't look at big and smalls, I look at total, I figure 90% of that volume is bigs anyways, this last 25 min I see - 6300 bav
10:25 PopStocks: now -7600
10:26 PopStocks: but in my very honest opinion bav is only good for gauging what might happen in the next 30 min or so
10:28 PopStocks: now -8600
10:29 PopStocks: also, I feel a lot of "bigs" break their orders into smaller 10/20 lotters
10:29 PopStocks: considering that most trading is automated, it makes a lot of sense they would be broken into smaller orders
10:34 PopStocks: ugly sorta triangle, probably back up to 28
10:37 palmer: just moved from new york
10:37 palmer: 2 yrs ago

11:09 PopStocks: xlf hitting it's neckline of the 1week double top
11:11 PopStocks: since I started on options lost only 1 of 16 swing trades, and drawdowns very low, much higher success for me all in all

11:27 VO: s 1 @ 36
11:27 VO: very risky
11:27 LordAlfa: S 36
11:28 Margie: s 35.75
11:28 PopStocks: no risk VO, just chill
11:29 LordAlfa: wide stop at 39, 1 min proj up is 38.50 if 28 is not taken out. 15 min down proj is 28.50 so 38.50 can still be a possibility.
11:30 LordAlfa: Sell bid.
11:30 Robin: http://206.71.64.13:12001/graphics/tue/Robin187 3-2138.png

12:15 LordAlfa: Margie, the scary thought is that it can reach 44.75, 43.00 to 44 is a good sell
12:15 Margie: Thanls, LA
12:15 LordAlfa: Classic pivot at 42.25
12:17 LordAlfa: I am off the bed. I am finding it easier to trade globex these few days. I am alert and the pace is easier for decisions. Gained 14 and gave back 9. WTH? Should have stopped.

12:46 Robin: 12:27: the SPX made it past noted first resistance; most firm short-term resistance again is at or within a few points of the
850 level. if the same holds the upside, then we are likely back down to or below the lows again into late tomorrow or
into early-to-mid Wednesday
12:59 PopStocks: lunch break over
13:02 VO: add 38.50
13:03 PopStocks: all that plastic pit trading about to show it's real hand here

14:12 karen: I don't use elliot wave, just starting to read up on it
14:12 prestwickdrive: TLT has dropped almost 1.75 points from today's hod and is retesting lod
14:13 Margie: I'll let VO answer, Im still trying to get the hang of it,
14:13 Haku: if this is a larger abc down construction, target at 836.25 but anything is possible

14:28 VO: 42, 38.50, 29.50
14:28 Robin: 2:13: the indexes have pulled back off the earlier highs, with the NDX being the weakest; there is the potential that the
last run up completes a countertrend retracement - and that a run back to or below the lows will be seen into late today
or into the first few hours of Wednesday's session
14:28 karen: thanks VO!!
14:29 Vast524: ty Robin
14:29 Robin: yw :)
14:30 PopStocks: if this is 5 up, 845 would be wave 1 parity

14:37 VO: b,c, a then extensions 127.2 and 161.8
14:38 Vast524: OK. They didn't make that clear on the website. TY
14:38 Vast524: Did you take it?
14:38 VO: no
14:39 Vast524: Doh
14:39 VO: but u noticed I covered my short
14:39 Robin: http://206.71.64.13:12001/graphics/tue/Robin187 3-2141.png
14:42 Vast524: yes. That was good timing to get out then
14:43 PopStocks: megaphone top
14:48 feng456: hey guys im stuck
14:49 feng456: it seems im stuck in a pattern of doing good for a week, then losing my ''edge'' the next and then starting all over again
14:50 Vast524: Read "Trading in the zone" by Mark Douglas. Go to: http://www.247free.org/books/ and look it it.
14:51 feng456: whoa
14:51 feng456: whose site is this?
14:51 PopStocks: got a cycle high for 3:15 eastern
14:51 Vast524: If you are serious. Read it! No idea
14:52 feng456: cuz thats a lot of books
14:52 Vast524: Well you'll save some money then.
14:53 feng456: yea thanks!
14:53 feng456: cant believe someone uploaded all those books
14:53 Margie: Palmer shared that site with us
14:53 PopStocks: if that was thee top though, we have a low coming in at 10:15 est tomorrow
14:53 feng456: now if I could just get mommy to read it to me before bed
15:00 VO: s 1 @ 39.50
15:01 VO: stop 41.25
15:03 PopStocks: Since '40 when up volume % went from <20% to >80% next day with lower high in SPX, next two days up only 27% of the time.
15:04 VO: flat
15:07 Robin: http://206.71.64.13:12001/graphics/tue/Robin187 3-2142.png
15:07 prestwickdrive: bigs +61k
15:07 JackS65: Price & Volume chart posted
15:09 PopStocks: well looks like it turned out to be a fairly strong day, go figure

15:12 VO: 1 @ 45.25
15:12 Margie: Jack, does AdvGet advise you when to get in?
15:12 PopStocks: I meant 845 even
15:13 Vast524: Are you shorting VO
15:13 Vast524: OK
15:15 prestwickdrive: 848 = double ib
15:16 icepick: ?????
15:16 Robin: http://206.71.64.13:12001/graphics/tue/Robin187 3-2143.png
15:16 Robin: we could have this going on.... only thing is I don't like 38% retraces.. very shallow...
15:16 icepick: at least 3 cycle lows for a profit today
15:16 JackS65: AdvGet chart posted with wave 5 tgts
15:17 Robin: VO... do you still regard this as a valid abcd with the shallow retrace? Larry would say that a shallow retrace would indicate an extension of the pattern
15:18 Robin: thanks :)
15:20 icepick: just my opinion PoP, but you have been looking at only downside opportunities the last couple three days, and therefore missed the upside (if only a point or two)
15:22 PopStocks: 847 is 2.76 off of wave c
15:23 PopStocks: icepick, I am still green so no worries
15:23 PopStocks: I play longterm, not scalping
15:24 JackS65: Have a few errands to run. Everyone have a great evening. See you tomorrow.
15:24 PopStocks: I see 800 by end of week ice

15:25 prestwickdrive: bigs not selling yet
15:26 Vast524: But it is only on Esig?
15:26 Vast524: I don't like Esig.
15:28 Vast524: eSignal, Advanced GET
Edition Software retails for an up-front cost of $3,995.
15:29 Vast524: Then you have to pay each month for Esig @$195
15:29 bruce9432: Probably get it for free on a bit torrent site
15:30 PopStocks: for software that changes it's targets every 5 minutes, no thanks

15:48 karen: sad to say
15:49 feng456: yea ive accomplished that already
15:49 feng456: wasnt that hard
15:49 karen: I thought I was disciplined, learned I was quite stubborn
15:49 feng456: XD
15:49 Haku: I'm still using the same funds I had back in 1996
15:49 feng456: nice
15:49 karen: have now been trading 5 years successfully
15:49 Robin: Karen I think 90% of traders have done that...
15:49 Robin: congrats to you Karen :)
15:49 feng456: when did u first start trading haku?
15:49 PopStocks: nice karen, i'm up to 2 now
15:49 bruce9432: It is real easy, especially when you take losing peronally
15:49 karen: I think so too robin, for me money management was a big part of my problem
15:49 karen: exactly bruce
15:50 karen: VO....do we have a globex cate?
15:50 karen: date
15:50 feng456: im using a combination of momentum indicator, cycle indicator, and price indicators (boll bands and SMA) to trade
15:50 feng456: this is my third week
15:51 feng456: after two weeks my net was zero
15:51 feng456: except I just lost three days in a row
15:51 feng456: shud I continue?
15:51 karen: feng...you need to read Mark douglas' book that Vast suggested earlier...that will help you
15:51 karen: great book to read
15:52 Robin: totally agree karen...
15:52 Robin: very good book...
15:52 feng456: I read disciplined trader
15:52 Robin: LP says to read 3 pages a day...
15:52 feng456: there was a lot of stuff that I already knew
15:52 feng456: what am I missing?
15:52 Robin: even he still reads 3 pages a day after 45 years of trading
15:53 PT: feng: whats your win % the last 4 weeks ?
15:53 feng456: hmm lets see
15:53 icepick: feng - whether to continue or not - u can get a bunch of opinons - but that's a question only you must answer for yourself
15:53 feng456: ok my stats are as follows
15:53 feng456: -550 first day
15:54 feng456: 0
15:54 feng456: 250
15:54 feng456: 0
15:54 feng456: 310
15:54 feng456: 235
15:54 feng456: -275
15:54 feng456: -250
15:54 feng456: -275 today
15:54 feng456: for a net of -550 after 9 trading days
15:54 icepick: No one but you can give the answer you seek
15:54 PT: ok
15:55 feng456: im stuck ok and I duno what im doing wrong
15:56 PT: maybe that is what your system does
15:56 PT: works some days , fails others
15:56 dda: what do you think guys about trading: 20% entry, 40% management, 40% psychology?
15:56 feng456: well ive changed my system five times in the last two months
15:56 PT: ok why did you do that ?
15:56 karen: Mark douglas talks about that very thing feng....changing your system just because you have losing days
15:57 karen: it's all probabilities, you WILL have losing days
15:57 feng456: so then how long shud I stay in for?
15:57 feng456: im down a net of 550 after two weeks
15:57 feng456: thats pretty significant no?
15:57 feng456: I trade 1 contract
15:57 feng456: daily loss stop is 250 as well as win limit
15:58 karen: I personally think trading 1 contract is hard, you can't protect your trade
15:58 feng456: well it's different
15:58 karen: but I have my own trading demons, so I can't really give out any advice
15:58 karen: VO....where are you short at?
15:59 karen: k...will look to short somewhere up here
15:59 karen: after globex opens
15:59 feng456: I guess what im wondering is where is the line between a system that obviously doesnt work and ur just having a bunch of days where no matter what ur boned
16:01 karen: anyone big reporting after hours? I think YHOO is earning
16:01 karen: is reporting
16:01 bruce9432: Geithner came out and said that most banks have enough capital
16:05 Robin: weekly demark at 49
16:17 PopStocks: good day yall, cya later
16:21 mini741: 88e
16:21 karen: VO...are you still short?
16:22 karen: closing near highs was quite bullish
16:23 karen: yet I want to short
16:23 karen: just have to find the right place
16:23 karen: exactly
16:24 karen: yep
16:24 karen: I'm learning alot from you guys...I'm mainly a market profile trader...I agree down
16:25 karen: 848.75 is a value area high from a few days ago

16:27 karen: thks Vast
16:28 Haku: bye, all
16:29 Vast524: You're welcome. It is always nice to hear people. Adds to the profile, rather than just a name
16:29 Vast524: I have banned him
16:29 Vast524: I rang Mirus and told them to put a stop to his account during Globex.
16:30 Vast524: You wouyld end up like Feng
16:30 karen: lol
16:30 Vast524: Maybe you need to change your plan PT a few more times
16:31 Vast524: Ihate thatmarket Karen. I traded that, and it was just so frustrating. It follows the ES
16:32 Vast524: The Stoxx would work well for me in Australia. Ihave tried the first few hrs, but still seems to mirror the ES
16:38 palmer: u short VO??
16:39 Vast524: Just that your opinion is always right VO. lol
16:39 VO: damn right
16:39 Vast524: Douglas would say, just trade the pattern, and let the market decide.
16:44 bruce9432: VO, do you use Kool's methdology or youor own, or a combo of the two?
16:45 palmer: nice setup from yesterday that
16:45 palmer: 825 area
16:45 palmer: nice very nice
16:47 palmer: you can't get biased
16:47 palmer: agree VO
16:48 palmer: PT didn't u hear

16:52 palmer: just alittle
16:52 palmer: got stopped up
16:52 palmer: out
07:44 PT: good morning palmer
07:44 palmer: what's up PT
07:45 PT: not the ES !
07:45 palmer: :)
07:45 palmer: we only got to 838 overnight
07:45 palmer: I guess we could see 818 or lower today
07:48 PT: well a 4 bar projection on the 15 gives 825.75
07:49 PT: using the full move to 833.50
07:50 palmer: oh playing it?
07:50 PT: no, was just trying to find a projection
07:51 palmer: I have a 822.25 proj
07:51 palmer: I was looking at that
07:51 PT: ok, what is that from ?
07:51 palmer: 7:30 15 min
07:52 PT: ok
07:52 PT: gap fill right there also palmer
07:53 PT: close on 4/8 was 822.50
07:55 palmer: yep
07:55 palmer: I will definitely try a buy there if we get there
07:56 PT: yep
07:58 palmer: and look where the 15 bands are now
07:58 palmer: lower band
08:15 palmer: band getting lower and lower
08:17 Margie: Vo, what is your thought about a rising diagonal being retraced to where it began and normally further? I am taking that information from Prechter's book. That would bring us to at least 779.
08:31 VO: margie that is a good point...i would argue that it started with the 3/30 low of 75.50. thats why yest I told pops that I wasnt sure we would get even a 50% retrace
08:32 VO: btw our daily proj. was just hit at 24.25
08:34 VO: margie you also have to try and determine if we just finished a "ending" or a "leading" diagonal. same pattern the difference tween the two is where it happens (1 or A vs 5 or C)
08:40 Margie: Ok, VO, thanks. it's never easy, is it?
08:42 VO: I get to start the day down 6 handles cause my globex trade didnt work...i had an order to take 1 @ 38.25, which was 5 handles from entry and the 261.8 from abc. Price did touch 38.25 but to no surprise I wasnt filled. I had my other target @ 43.25. o well, no hill for a climber like me.
08:42 Robin: good morning everyone :)
08:42 VO PM'd
08:44 parson: gm, Robin
08:50 Margie: Good morning Robin
08:50 Margie: Vo, give 'em a beating

09:38 LordAlfa: exit 27
09:40 bruce9432: tradeStation data freezing
09:40 palmer: nice green 15
09:41 VO: 38.2 of down swing = 41.75
09:41 PopStocks: gm dudes/ettes
09:41 LordAlfa: Anyone know which IP ports Zenfire uses for the feeds? I want to put them on high priority inthe firewall QoS
09:41 LordAlfa: exceeded 15 min project 29
09:41 PopStocks: yup PT 822, glad you were listening : )
09:41 bruce9432: Frozen data
09:42 LordAlfa: Globex is much better to trade than yesterday afternoon.
09:42 bruce9432: I am in another chat and they are all bitchin about it
09:43 LordAlfa: Check all the IP ports that you guys are using. maybe that's where the jam is.
09:43 PopStocks: short 831/833, a gimme trade if I ever saw one
09:44 LordAlfa: I shorted 35.75. Just took profits at 27. Just came home.
09:45 VO: l 1 @ 29.50
09:45 PopStocks: well done LA
09:46 LordAlfa: Didn't hit 21.
09:46 VO: will add down
09:46 PopStocks: bearish abc of globex levels 50% retrace
09:47 mrg22: lva -830.25
09:48 LordAlfa: 32.75?
09:51 PopStocks: I think we will hit 800 near eod
09:53 PopStocks: 37 is brick wall imo, path of least resistance is to the downside here.
some point today or tomorrow. the latter would likely try some bouce into later in the week, which should hold at or well
below the prior high of 875 (resistance low-to-mid 850's), then should be followed by a continued break to lower lows into
late-April. here is the hourly cycle/channel chart updated to yesterday's close:
09:54 VO: offer 32.50
09:56 PopStocks: if this is a bearish ab=cd forming on the 24hr 3200tick, then 832.50 should be top
09:58 PashaLV: bid @ 26.75
10:01 palmer: short 829
10:02 megatron1981: bought @ 27.50
10:02 palmer: ou t827 +2
10:03 PopStocks: well done palmer, you'll get to 800 today if you are patient imo
10:07 prestwickdrive: 727 sq 9
10:08 prestwickdrive: 827
10:10 megatron1981: sold @28.75 for +1.25
10:13 PopStocks: Channel to watch http://twitpic.com/3pp9r/full
10:14 LordAlfa: regression channel
10:15 PopStocks: nope just hand drawn
10:15 PopStocks: but it's so spot on it may as well be from regresion : )
10:15 LordAlfa: Was looking for 21 but couldn't bear the retrace. I had 3 contracts all in one basket.
10:16 LordAlfa: It is an ABC for the upside but might be a bait.
10:16 Robin: http://206.71.64.13:12001/graphics/tue/Robin187 3-2137.png
10:16 PopStocks: shipsa goin down guys, short is the way
10:17 LordAlfa: The end of the rally. I hope friends with stocks off loaded or broke even. I told them to get rid of it.
10:18 prestwickdrive: gap = 33.0
10:18 LordAlfa: AB=CD Robin? You are very good in looking for this.
10:18 PopStocks: 822 is just begging to be tested, 823 false support
10:19 PopStocks: why, because the market profile for the past month says so
10:19 LordAlfa: Buy 24 for a quick scalp.
10:23 LordAlfa: Pops, 817.50 is the 423.6% of that abc of the top.
10:23 PopStocks: yup
10:23 PopStocks: also an important mp level
10:23 PopStocks: 822, 817, 810, 800, 770
10:23 LordAlfa: 817 level will be a major bounce
10:23 prestwickdrive: bav trend on quotetracker
10:24 PopStocks: i've told him that before as well prest : )
10:25 PopStocks: I don't look at big and smalls, I look at total, I figure 90% of that volume is bigs anyways, this last 25 min I see - 6300 bav
10:25 PopStocks: now -7600
10:26 PopStocks: but in my very honest opinion bav is only good for gauging what might happen in the next 30 min or so
10:28 PopStocks: now -8600
10:29 PopStocks: also, I feel a lot of "bigs" break their orders into smaller 10/20 lotters
10:29 PopStocks: considering that most trading is automated, it makes a lot of sense they would be broken into smaller orders
10:34 PopStocks: ugly sorta triangle, probably back up to 28
10:37 palmer: just moved from new york
10:37 palmer: 2 yrs ago

11:29 LordAlfa: wide stop at 39, 1 min proj up is 38.50 if 28 is not taken out. 15 min down proj is 28.50 so 38.50 can still be a possibility.
11:30 LordAlfa: Sell bid.
11:30 Robin: http://206.71.64.13:12001/graphics/tue/Robin187 3-2138.png

12:13 Margie: we still have the deadly to meet
12:15 LordAlfa: Margie, the scary thought is that it can reach 44.75, 43.00 to 44 is a good sell
12:15 Margie: Thanls, LA
12:15 LordAlfa: Classic pivot at 42.25
12:17 LordAlfa: I am off the bed. I am finding it easier to trade globex these few days. I am alert and the pace is easier for decisions. Gained 14 and gave back 9. WTH? Should have stopped.
12:18 Margie: ugly cycle on 5 minute takes us to 12:45 for a peak
12:18 LordAlfa: See you later alligators

12:39 palmer: u short VO?
12:39 VO: 36
12:46 Robin: 12:27: the SPX made it past noted first resistance; most firm short-term resistance again is at or within a few points of the
850 level. if the same holds the upside, then we are likely back down to or below the lows again into late tomorrow or
into early-to-mid Wednesday
12:59 PopStocks: lunch break over
13:02 VO: add 38.50
13:03 PopStocks: all that plastic pit trading about to show it's real hand here

13:42 PopStocks: what a grinder of a day
13:45 PT: yep ugly wave 4
13:56 PopStocks: would you be getting a wave 5 price projection off the noice in wave 4?
13:56 PopStocks: noize
13:56 JackS65: Out to pick up my grandson back in about 20 min

14:06 Margie: take care pdq
14:06 PopStocks: wave bore more like it
14:10 Margie: 7 waves so far in 4
14:12 karen: what levels will take us out of wave 4 into 5 margie?
14:12 karen: I don't use elliot wave, just starting to read up on it
14:12 prestwickdrive: TLT has dropped almost 1.75 points from today's hod and is retesting lod
14:13 Margie: I'll let VO answer, Im still trying to get the hang of it,
14:13 Haku: if this is a larger abc down construction, target at 836.25 but anything is possible
14:13 karen: well, what moves us into the next wave?
14:13 karen: long answer
14:13 karen: loaded question

14:27 karen: prestwick...do you have the developing va's by chance?
14:28 VO: 42, 38.50, 29.50
14:28 Robin: 2:13: the indexes have pulled back off the earlier highs, with the NDX being the weakest; there is the potential that the
last run up completes a countertrend retracement - and that a run back to or below the lows will be seen into late today
or into the first few hours of Wednesday's session
14:28 karen: thanks VO!!
14:29 Vast524: ty Robin
14:29 Robin: yw :)
14:30 PopStocks: if this is 5 up, 845 would be wave 1 parity
14:30 Margie: the two humps faked me out
14:30 Margie: never got in
14:30 Margie: more like a comel
14:30 Margie: camel
14:31 Vast524: Do you look for these patterns on the 610 only, or on any time frames
14:32 Vast524: ok. ty

14:37 VO: b,c, a then extensions 127.2 and 161.8
14:38 Vast524: OK. They didn't make that clear on the website. TY
14:38 Vast524: Did you take it?

14:39 Vast524: Doh

14:43 PopStocks: megaphone top
14:48 feng456: hey guys im stuck
14:49 feng456: it seems im stuck in a pattern of doing good for a week, then losing my ''edge'' the next and then starting all over again
14:50 Vast524: Read "Trading in the zone" by Mark Douglas. Go to: http://www.247free.org/books/ and look it it.
14:51 feng456: whoa

14:52 Vast524: Well you'll save some money then.
14:53 feng456: yea thanks!
14:53 feng456: cant believe someone uploaded all those books
14:53 Margie: Palmer shared that site with us
14:53 PopStocks: if that was thee top though, we have a low coming in at 10:15 est tomorrow
14:53 feng456: now if I could just get mommy to read it to me before bed
15:00 VO: s 1 @ 39.50

15:12 PopStocks: I meant 845 even
15:13 Vast524: Are you shorting VO
15:13 Vast524: OK
15:15 prestwickdrive: 848 = double ib
15:16 icepick: ?????
15:16 Robin: http://206.71.64.13:12001/graphics/tue/Robin187 3-2143.png
15:16 Robin: we could have this going on.... only thing is I don't like 38% retraces.. very shallow...
15:16 icepick: at least 3 cycle lows for a profit today
15:16 JackS65: AdvGet chart posted with wave 5 tgts
15:17 Robin: VO... do you still regard this as a valid abcd with the shallow retrace? Larry would say that a shallow retrace would indicate an extension of the pattern
15:18 Robin: thanks :)
15:20 icepick: just my opinion PoP, but you have been looking at only downside opportunities the last couple three days, and therefore missed the upside (if only a point or two)
15:22 PopStocks: 847 is 2.76 off of wave c
15:23 PopStocks: icepick, I am still green so no worries
15:23 PopStocks: I play longterm, not scalping
15:24 JackS65: Have a few errands to run. Everyone have a great evening. See you tomorrow.
15:24 PopStocks: I see 800 by end of week ice

15:25 prestwickdrive: bigs not selling yet
15:26 Vast524: But it is only on Esig?
15:26 Vast524: I don't like Esig.
15:28 Vast524: eSignal, Advanced GET
Edition Software retails for an up-front cost of $3,995.
15:29 Vast524: Then you have to pay each month for Esig @$195
15:29 bruce9432: Probably get it for free on a bit torrent site
15:30 PopStocks: for software that changes it's targets every 5 minutes, no thanks

15:48 karen: sad to say
15:49 feng456: yea ive accomplished that already
15:49 feng456: wasnt that hard
15:49 karen: I thought I was disciplined, learned I was quite stubborn
15:49 feng456: XD

15:49 feng456: nice
15:49 karen: have now been trading 5 years successfully

15:49 feng456: when did u first start trading haku?
15:49 PopStocks: nice karen, i'm up to 2 now
15:49 bruce9432: It is real easy, especially when you take losing peronally
15:49 karen: I think so too robin, for me money management was a big part of my problem
15:49 karen: exactly bruce
15:50 karen: VO....do we have a globex cate?
15:50 karen: date
15:50 feng456: im using a combination of momentum indicator, cycle indicator, and price indicators (boll bands and SMA) to trade
15:50 feng456: this is my third week
15:51 feng456: after two weeks my net was zero
15:51 feng456: except I just lost three days in a row
15:51 feng456: shud I continue?
15:51 karen: feng...you need to read Mark douglas' book that Vast suggested earlier...that will help you
15:51 karen: great book to read
15:52 Robin: totally agree karen...
15:52 Robin: very good book...
15:52 feng456: I read disciplined trader
15:52 Robin: LP says to read 3 pages a day...
15:52 feng456: there was a lot of stuff that I already knew
15:52 feng456: what am I missing?
15:52 Robin: even he still reads 3 pages a day after 45 years of trading
15:53 PT: feng: whats your win % the last 4 weeks ?
15:53 feng456: hmm lets see
15:53 icepick: feng - whether to continue or not - u can get a bunch of opinons - but that's a question only you must answer for yourself
15:53 feng456: ok my stats are as follows
15:53 feng456: -550 first day
15:54 feng456: 0
15:54 feng456: 250
15:54 feng456: 0
15:54 feng456: 310
15:54 feng456: 235
15:54 feng456: -275
15:54 feng456: -250
15:54 feng456: -275 today
15:54 feng456: for a net of -550 after 9 trading days
15:54 icepick: No one but you can give the answer you seek
15:54 PT: ok
15:55 feng456: im stuck ok and I duno what im doing wrong
15:56 PT: maybe that is what your system does
15:56 PT: works some days , fails others
15:56 dda: what do you think guys about trading: 20% entry, 40% management, 40% psychology?
15:56 feng456: well ive changed my system five times in the last two months
15:56 PT: ok why did you do that ?
15:56 karen: Mark douglas talks about that very thing feng....changing your system just because you have losing days
15:57 karen: it's all probabilities, you WILL have losing days
15:57 feng456: so then how long shud I stay in for?
15:57 feng456: im down a net of 550 after two weeks
15:57 feng456: thats pretty significant no?
15:57 feng456: I trade 1 contract
15:57 feng456: daily loss stop is 250 as well as win limit
15:58 karen: I personally think trading 1 contract is hard, you can't protect your trade
15:58 feng456: well it's different
15:58 karen: but I have my own trading demons, so I can't really give out any advice
15:58 karen: VO....where are you short at?
15:59 karen: k...will look to short somewhere up here
15:59 karen: after globex opens
15:59 feng456: I guess what im wondering is where is the line between a system that obviously doesnt work and ur just having a bunch of days where no matter what ur boned
16:01 karen: anyone big reporting after hours? I think YHOO is earning
16:01 karen: is reporting
16:01 bruce9432: Geithner came out and said that most banks have enough capital
16:05 Robin: weekly demark at 49
16:17 PopStocks: good day yall, cya later
16:21 mini741: 88e
16:21 karen: VO...are you still short?
16:22 karen: closing near highs was quite bullish
16:23 karen: yet I want to short
16:23 karen: just have to find the right place
16:23 karen: exactly
16:24 karen: yep
16:24 karen: I'm learning alot from you guys...I'm mainly a market profile trader...I agree down
16:25 karen: 848.75 is a value area high from a few days ago
16:25 Robin: karen has a nice voice :)
16:25 Vast524: KAren has a voice. Welcome to the world of voice Karen.
16:27 karen: thks Vast
16:28 Haku: bye, all
16:29 Vast524: You're welcome. It is always nice to hear people. Adds to the profile, rather than just a name
16:29 Vast524: I have banned him
16:29 Vast524: I rang Mirus and told them to put a stop to his account during Globex.
16:30 Vast524: You wouyld end up like Feng
16:30 karen: lol
16:30 Vast524: Maybe you need to change your plan PT a few more times
16:31 Vast524: Ihate thatmarket Karen. I traded that, and it was just so frustrating. It follows the ES
16:32 Vast524: The Stoxx would work well for me in Australia. Ihave tried the first few hrs, but still seems to mirror the ES
16:38 palmer: u short VO??
16:39 Vast524: Just that your opinion is always right VO. lol
16:39 VO: damn right
16:39 Vast524: Douglas would say, just trade the pattern, and let the market decide.
16:44 bruce9432: VO, do you use Kool's methdology or youor own, or a combo of the two?
16:45 palmer: nice setup from yesterday that
16:45 palmer: 825 area
16:45 palmer: nice very nice
16:47 palmer: you can't get biased
16:47 palmer: agree VO
16:48 palmer: PT didn't u hear
16:48 palmer: KOOL trading for George Soros
16:48 palmer: was on bloomberg
16:50 icepick: hope you get out vo
16:51 VO: vo is gonna be just fine fella's
16:51 icepick: then I hope it goes back up for pt
16:52 karen: lol

08:42 LordAlfa: I am up 10.75 bought 33.25
08:42 LordAlfa: Sold 44.
08:42 palmer: sweet
08:42 palmer: LA
08:42 LordAlfa: 423.6 of the little abc at the bottom
08:43 LordAlfa: Only 1
08:43 VO: flat
08:43 LordAlfa: Not giving it back. Let's see what is the first hour action
08:43 gila: what time did u buy 33.25 la
08:44 LordAlfa: 15 min projection down was 33.00
08:44 LordAlfa: About 2100 hours
08:45 LordAlfa: let me get the exact time
08:46 gila: thx
08:46 gila: thats close enough
08:46 LordAlfa: 2057. order siting there
08:47 LordAlfa: See it wasn't going down, so I rode it up using the 610T
08:48 LordAlfa: Last stop was 41. Didn't fill 44 the first time.
08:48 LordAlfa: Just place 1 tick behind every last candle
08:49 LordAlfa: We have a downside abc at this moment
08:51 LordAlfa: Keep in mind an outstanding down proj to 797.25 from yesterday's high if 58.75 is not touched
08:53 LordAlfa: I have a funny feeling, they'll repeat yesterday's bull rush in the opening
08:56 bruce9432: Your U.S. Govt @work:, Paulson and Bernanke instructed BofA CEO not to discuss how bad Merrill Lynch was hurting. Which begs the question, what else aren't they telling us?
08:57 LordAlfa: Maybe they are leaving the country for another country?
08:58 bruce9432: The whole deal smells real bad
09:00 LordAlfa: But I think they are Lex Luther at work. The greatest criminal minds. They have drawn a battle plan of "if then do this" scenarios.
09:01 LordAlfa: 15 min whole move down 33.50
09:02 LordAlfa: Where is Kool? MIA for 2 days. I won't be long tonight. Wife day today.
09:03 LordAlfa: BTW, made 10.75 so I'll watch opportunistically.
09:05 palmer: VO
09:05 palmer: what we spoke about last night
09:05 palmer: that's what I am using
09:09 VO: remind me palmer

09:09 LordAlfa: What's the secret?
09:10 palmer: using 5,15,60
09:10 palmer: no secret LA
09:10 LordAlfa: Yeah what about?
09:10 LordAlfa: The projections?
09:10 palmer: yep
09:10 palmer: and using those to trade
09:10 palmer: 1 min too fast for me
09:11 palmer: +7 on the day using it this morning
09:11 LordAlfa: Well the 60 was very close yesterday to get the 58.xx peak
09:11 palmer: tell me about it LA
09:11 palmer: I had my order @60
09:12 palmer: rrrrrrrrrrrg
09:12 LordAlfa: The least looked at chart. 60 min

08:56 bruce9432: Your U.S. Govt @work:, Paulson and Bernanke instructed BofA CEO not to discuss how bad Merrill Lynch was hurting. Which begs the question, what else aren't they telling us?
08:57 LordAlfa: Maybe they are leaving the country for another country?
08:58 bruce9432: The whole deal smells real bad

14:23 bruce9432: BRIEFING.COM] According to a government statement, the methodology used in conducting the government's bank stress tests was not intended to be a worst case scenario, and large banks need to hold additional capital, according to Dow Jones.
According to Reuters, Fed officials are looking for substantial capital buffers over capital ratios. Dow Jones stated, though, that a focus on common equity does not imply a new capital standard.
In a knee-jerk reaction to the data, stocks moved lower but have since recovered.
14:24 PT: Vast, I proofed it last night but only for grammar, have no idea what it said :)

14:23 bruce9432: BRIEFING.COM] According to a government statement, the methodology used in conducting the government's bank stress tests was not intended to be a worst case scenario, and large banks need to hold additional capital, according to Dow Jones.
According to Reuters, Fed officials are looking for substantial capital buffers over capital ratios. Dow Jones stated, though, that a focus on common equity does not imply a new capital standard.
In a knee-jerk reaction to the data, stocks moved lower but have since recovered.
14:24 PT: Vast, I proofed it last night but only for grammar, have no idea what it said :)

12:13 Robin: 11:48: we have seen some sideways-to-down here; we may try a run to or above the highs into the 12:30 - 1:00 PM

12:26 palmer: I will try a buy @60.50
12:27 PT: yeah I dunno prestwick, not seeing that ledge on the higher time frame charts, the 2T on the 15m is the real setup
12:27 prestwickdrive: ok ty
12:28 PT: a ledge of that magnitude would need to be real obvious on the 30 or 60 minute charts
12:29 prestwickdrive: it for sure isn't nearly as significant as that one on the 15 min friday
12:30 PT: right
12:30 gila: shelia bair fdic speaking

12:27 prestwickdrive: ok ty
12:28 PT: a ledge of that magnitude would need to be real obvious on the 30 or 60 minute charts
12:29 prestwickdrive: it for sure isn't nearly as significant as that one on the 15 min friday
12:30 PT: right
12:30 gila: shelia bair fdic speaking

08:34 PT: gm palmer
08:54 Robin: Good Morning, overnight world markets trading lower, SnP futures down to 838.50 which is getting close to the April Bullish/Bearish line in the sand. That puts resistance at daily support for the futures so we see how cash actually trades first hour. A drop today into the 830s would be a good indication the move up from 666 has finally topped.
Monthly the market is positive above 766 and bullish above 830
Weekly the market is positive above 858 and bullish above 875
Today the market is positive above 855 and bullish above 860 Monday close 858
Resistance today at 862/865 and support at 853/850

09:29 PashaLV: Good Morning everyone
09:30 PT: gm Pasha
09:32 bruce9432: not me, did you down load the patch?
09:34 Robin: 9:26: the futures have weakened since the first post, now looking at an SPX CASH open around the 844-845 level;
with that, first resistance will move to the 849-852 area, which is Tuesday's original daily projected support low - now
first resistance
9:00: the futures are trading to the downside in pre-open, currently suggesting an SPX CASH open in the area of the
847-848 level. heading into Tuesday's session we have first resistance at the 863 daily projected resistance high, which
is the normal plus or minus 2-3 points in either direction. support will be first at the 844 weekly projected support low
figure, which is also plus or minus 3 points - which we are looking to open into. for the daily chart, the recent notes here
favored a decline to the 844 weekly projected support low level by early-to-mid week, which we will see hit in today's
session. whether a short-term bottom will be seen at or into the same is speculation, though - if higher highs are to follow
immediately - then the same would be the best spot to bottom, with the 844 figure more important on a closing basis.
otherwise, closing below the same would again increase the odds of a larger 45-day downward phase to be in force. as
for intraday today, the probabilities seem to favor a quick bounce off this gap-lower open, then lower into mid-to-late
day with the 21-hour cycle. here is the hourly cycle/channel chart updated to yesterday's close:

10:43 Robin: 10:37: the SPX is testing the higher resistance zone; best guess is that we will see some sort of peak at or into the same,
then try another run to the lows again into the afternoon or into late-day. whether a lower low is still out there is guesswork,
as all my work called for was a test of 844 weekly projected support, plus or minus 3 points - which we have already hit
at the early tag of 847 SPX CASH
10:46 palmer: yep

08:54 Robin: Good Morning, overnight world markets trading lower, SnP futures down to 838.50 which is getting close to the April Bullish/Bearish line in the sand. That puts resistance at daily support for the futures so we see how cash actually trades first hour. A drop today into the 830s would be a good indication the move up from 666 has finally topped.
Monthly the market is positive above 766 and bullish above 830
Weekly the market is positive above 858 and bullish above 875
Today the market is positive above 855 and bullish above 860 Monday close 858
Resistance today at 862/865 and support at 853/850

09:29 PashaLV: Good Morning everyone
09:30 PT: gm Pasha
09:32 bruce9432: not me, did you down load the patch?
09:34 Robin: 9:26: the futures have weakened since the first post, now looking at an SPX CASH open around the 844-845 level;
with that, first resistance will move to the 849-852 area, which is Tuesday's original daily projected support low - now
first resistance
9:00: the futures are trading to the downside in pre-open, currently suggesting an SPX CASH open in the area of the
847-848 level. heading into Tuesday's session we have first resistance at the 863 daily projected resistance high, which
is the normal plus or minus 2-3 points in either direction. support will be first at the 844 weekly projected support low
figure, which is also plus or minus 3 points - which we are looking to open into. for the daily chart, the recent notes here
favored a decline to the 844 weekly projected support low level by early-to-mid week, which we will see hit in today's
session. whether a short-term bottom will be seen at or into the same is speculation, though - if higher highs are to follow
immediately - then the same would be the best spot to bottom, with the 844 figure more important on a closing basis.
otherwise, closing below the same would again increase the odds of a larger 45-day downward phase to be in force. as
for intraday today, the probabilities seem to favor a quick bounce off this gap-lower open, then lower into mid-to-late
day with the 21-hour cycle. here is the hourly cycle/channel chart updated to yesterday's close:

10:43 Robin: 10:37: the SPX is testing the higher resistance zone; best guess is that we will see some sort of peak at or into the same,
then try another run to the lows again into the afternoon or into late-day. whether a lower low is still out there is guesswork,
as all my work called for was a test of 844 weekly projected support, plus or minus 3 points - which we have already hit
at the early tag of 847 SPX CASH
10:46 palmer: yep

Quiet, you'll disturb the recovery
No bombshells expected from two-day FOMC meeting
By Greg Robb, MarketWatch
Last update: 3:04 p.m. EDT April 28, 2009Comments: 55WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Like parents watching over a sleeping newborn, Federal Reserve officials will go out of their way not to make any announcement or take any action that would disturb what they hope is a nascent recovery underway, analysts said.
Fed officials Tuesday afternoon started their two-day closed-door meeting to examine their aggressive efforts in the past year to end the crippling recession. A statement is expected to be released shortly after 2pm Eastern on Wednesday.

13:04 bruce9432: THE FED
Quiet, you'll disturb the recovery
No bombshells expected from two-day FOMC meeting
By Greg Robb, MarketWatch
Last update: 3:04 p.m. EDT April 28, 2009Comments: 55WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Like parents watching over a sleeping newborn, Federal Reserve officials will go out of their way not to make any announcement or take any action that would disturb what they hope is a nascent recovery underway, analysts said.
Fed officials Tuesday afternoon started their two-day closed-door meeting to examine their aggressive efforts in the past year to end the crippling recession. A statement is expected to be released shortly after 2pm Eastern on Wednesday.
