James-ST Moderator: Unreal [img
id=em-5]
Ken-ST Moderator: Note tha RACK
is holding under its 5 EMA on 5 min
Ken-ST Moderator: We have now
placed the stop just above the rally above the 5 ema
jy: Ken, is that the reason you
tighted the stop even the stock has moved up in
price ?
Ken-ST Moderator: Market is now
in a sideways to uptrend
Ken-ST Moderator: we are
looking to tighten now that we are moving close to
the turn time and we are against the current trend
Ken-ST Moderator: the tightest
area would be a rally point just above the 5 EMA
area
jy: ic that point
Ken-ST Moderator: so, we are
still giving the stock room to playout
Ken-ST Moderator: but keeping
it tight and minimizing our risk
jy: ty
joecgoodman: will market makers
see our stops just above the recent swing high and
take them out on purpose? or is that all myth?
Ken-ST Moderator: more
prevalent on listed stocks
Ken-ST Moderator: imo
Chris: Auto sales data will be
reported today could create some opportunities
Ken-ST Moderator: tx Chris, do
you know what time?

joecgoodman: RACK is water drip
torture right here
James-ST Moderator: DELL sub
$400 laptop??? sure, that is how you address
declining profits....make even cheaper
computers......
cleon: ken/james, do you know
if conditional orders on buys are visible to market
makers like stop limits? or what's the real
difference of using a conditional buy order vs. a
buy stop limit, assuming both are setup as limit
orders?
James-ST Moderator: [b]CANCEL
FURTHER TYPE B TRIGGERS TURN TIME[/b]
Ken-ST Moderator: That is
usually setup on your computer
Ken-ST Moderator: Not seen by
market makers
Ken-ST Moderator: conditional
orders that is
cleon: cool, i'm having better
luck with these than either market or stop orders
(entries)
joecgoodman: James, the nice
thing about those $399 laptops is that for only
another $199 you can get a hard drive and RAM in it,
too.
trdr45: but they can anticipate
the ave. trdrs moves you need to keep that in mind
Ken-ST Moderator: Stops are
different however
joecgoodman: trdr45, I agree.
cleon: right
joecgoodman: they know where
traders place stops
James-ST Moderator: lol joec.....and
for a little more you can get a power chord
joecgoodman: which you'll need
cause they don't use batteries
James-ST Moderator: [img

cleon: i just bought a e510
from them for under $1k. amazing...you can just
search the web for discount codes - saved me $400
cleon: www.couponmountain.com
joecgoodman: nice tip, cleon
James-ST Moderator: ty cleon
johnboy: Heck I got my laptop
for 9.99, although if you shake it, you lose all
your memory........and no mouse, just two dials for
left and right and up and down
cleon: also, btw,
www.techforless.com is great for hardware (returns),
guaranteed and warranteed. Picked up a mass
multiple triple-screen 19 for half price yesterday.
(don't worry, i'm not affiliated with either co.!)
joecgoodman: do they have any
left, johnboy?
joecgoodman: mega thanks for
that tip, cleon. btw, cleon, every time I see your
login name it makes me think Star Trek.
johnboy: sure, but be quick,
christmas is coming...
cleon: literally half price of
lowest available. yes on joec, but limited
invetorry. might have to wait for what you want.
quad 17s available now but no more 19 triples as of
yesterdy
cleon: LOL on star trek - not
related ;)
joecgoodman: is a quad 17 four
screens?
cleon: yes
cleon: four 17 inch flat panels
(analog)
cleon: great site
joecgoodman: digitaltigers.com
has nice stuff, very nice, but overpriced
James-ST Moderator: awesome
cleon.....i am sure everyone in here is always
looking for better computer setups for their trading
cleon: yeah, i setup my entire
station for 1/2 my budget through dell's coupon,
techforless, and some tech re-use of old stuff
James-ST Moderator: CSC......talking
a gap up into no where.....nothing above and below
it.....a break either way will be good......
cleon: of course, blew the
savings yesterday on bad entries but i'll get used
to it eventually :(
johnboy: cleon, should have
blown the savings on some nice single
malt............
cleon: did afterwards
Ken-ST Moderator: lol
joecgoodman: RACK is forming
the thinnest descending triangle mathematically
possible. dadgum fed day.
johnboy: lol
johnboy: well, I'll be away for

joecgoodman: stan48, r u having

bearrally: how do you breakit
down to 4 screen
James-ST Moderator: hahahahahh
bearrally: goog is unbelievable
cleon: two video cards with two
outputs each, or a very high end card with four
outputs but not practical
Ken-ST Moderator: Thanks for
the links cleon
joecgoodman: dang, bearrally,
you ain't akiddin'
bearrally: you can put 2 vidieo
card?
cleon: just watch for analog
vs. digital compatability and adapters, etc.
cleon: np on links
cleon: yes on cards, depedning
on pc slot availability
joecgoodman: cleon, why is four
outputs not practical....too expensive?
bearrally: thanks
hawker: I had 4 in my old
computer..... thing was practically glowwing
James-ST Moderator: yes
bear....once you go 2 video cards with 4 flat
screens.....you will never be able to function again
with one or even 2 screens
cleon: yes on four outputs, but
it's all relative to your budget
cleon: aggree with james, i'm
on three pcs right now and can't wait to consolidate
bearrally: i am on 2 screens
now
bearrally: 2 20"
cleon: nice
James-ST Moderator: nice.....
joecgoodman: okay, Ken, the 5
ema has been working just as you said on RACK. its
moment of truth has arrived.
cleon: can't wait to go large
screen LCD!
joecgoodman: me too, cleaon
Ken-ST Moderator: FOMC day
gang, we will not be issuing any alerts until after
the fed announcement at 2:15
bearrally: how do you stack
them?
James-ST Moderator: Get a big L
shaped desk.....
Ken-ST Moderator: yes joec
cleon: look at Mass Multiples
website to see configurations
Ken-ST Moderator: stops can be
easy
Ken-ST Moderator: well not easy
James-ST Moderator: or you can
be like ken and make your own shelf to stack
computers 2x2
cleon: http://www.massedi.com/
joecgoodman: Ken, what do you
mean stops can be easy?
Ken-ST Moderator: but set at
good levels if you look at the right things
Chris: The cheap way to get
multi screens is to use Maxvista Server Software. I
have my desktop and laptop networked. with this
software, the laptop is an extension of the desktop
screen
Ken-ST Moderator: sorry, not
easy
Ken-ST Moderator: stops are the
most difficult part of the trading strategy
Ken-ST Moderator: We explain
the factors in the Market Assessment video
joecgoodman: I can certainly
see that.
cleon: yeah, if you're on a
tight budget, just buy used/old video cards and same
with monitors. anything a year or two old gets dirt
cheap in that space.
Ken-ST Moderator: we keep it
simple so that you can consistently identify the
stop areas on your trades
Chris: www.maxvista.com
$29.95
cleon: ken, do you consider
20/80 oversold/overbought on stochastics?
James-ST Moderator: ty chris
James-ST Moderator: good info
Ken-ST Moderator: yes we look
at that
Ken-ST Moderator: we look at
that when assessing the market trend
cleon: k, just verifying
numbers - i haven't worked with indicators too much
cleon: btw, last comment on
station setups. the beauty of multiple monitors is
ONE keyboard, and ONE mouse - i.e., no typing in, or
mousing quickly into the wrong pc...
James-ST Moderator: yep
joecgoodman: would it be ill
advised to tighten RACK to 16.77 or so here? I can
be patient and leave my stop where it is, but only
with some hand-holding. :-)
James-ST Moderator: keep same
stop joec
joecgoodman: k
Ken-ST Moderator: you dont want
to tighten to level within a range
Ken-ST Moderator: meaningless
moves could get you stopped
joecgoodman: just what I needed
to hear....thanks.
alaska: chris maxvista's
website is closed for some reason
bulldogchip: Lend goes down
now...arghhh
Ken-ST Moderator: but no matter
where you place your stop joec.....
Ken-ST Moderator: you will be
profitable
joecgoodman: can you
elaborate? that seems counter to my current
understanding.
Chris: I typed it wrong -- it's
maxivista with an "i" www.maxivista.com
cleon: positive or negative LOL
joecgoodman: I feel like I've
been too tight on my stops in the past.
Ken-ST Moderator: lol
Ken-ST Moderator: yup either
negative or positive
joecgoodman: YOU GOT ME!!!!!!
Ken-ST Moderator: We look at
two things for stops
Ken-ST Moderator:
resistance/support areas and MAs area
Ken-ST Moderator: we look for
two factors to set
Ken-ST Moderator: depending on
market conditions we identify three possible areas
for the stops
Ken-ST Moderator: Chris, Im
showing the auto sales report out at 4:00 pm today,
but I may be wrong
Ken-ST Moderator: The stops are
the most important part of the trade plan
Ken-ST Moderator: it can make
or break a successful strategy
Ken-ST Moderator: we strongly
sugges the Market Assessment Video for this
information
Ken-ST Moderator: it will help
you to assess the market trends
Ken-ST Moderator: and identify
the three areas for stops
Ken-ST Moderator: you will then
use the market trends to assess which stop you use

Ken-ST Moderator: Hi kimmron

steveg: you better knock on
wood
Ken-ST Moderator: lol joec
joecgoodman: :-)
Ken-ST Moderator: any
questions?
Ken-ST Moderator: For those who
are new here, we divide the trading day into three
periods, Morning, Lunch, and Afternoon
kimmron: hi everybody. we are
back
Ken-ST Moderator: Morning is
our most active and most profitable 9:30 - 11:00
Ken-ST Moderator: Lunch :
lowest success rate in general 11:00 - 1:00
Ken-ST Moderator: Afternoon:
1:00 - 3:30
Chris: Does volume dry up
during lunch?
mtrade: Ken what is the exit
price on rack
Ken-ST Moderator: we suggest 1%
past your entry
cleon: one more order question
- a limit order will always trade at the limit, or a
more favorable price, correct? i.e., on a SHORT,
you could theoretically place a LIMIT order to BUY
vs. a STOP LIMIT and end up covering at your target
or better? just want to make sure i've got it down
pat. thx. then i'm off to breakfast - LOL

Ken-ST Moderator: we will

Ken-ST Moderator: wb James
Ken-ST Moderator: Yes cleon,
Limit will fill you at that price or better
steveg anyone know the exact

Ken-ST Moderator: If there is
something better, Direct Access will try and get you
that price
cleon regardless of direction,
i.e., it's position-friendly short vs. long
Ken-ST Moderator: 2:15 pm est
steveg
steveg thx ken
Ken-ST Moderator: Not sure what
you mean by that cleon
joecgoodman mtrade, if you took
partial profits on RACK with the room at 1%, you
then moved your stop to break even on the remainder,
right?
cleon i think that's why i'm
stil hung up on the difference in benefit between a
stop limit vs. limit. i guess a stop limit would be
preferable if you are waiting for a breakout and
going long, right?
cleon otherwise, a limit would
have you buy earlier, considering it more beneficial
on a long? sry for so many order questions!
James-ST Moderator: For the new
guys here, we strongly suggest that a 5 minute
candlestick chart of the SPX be kept open to give
you a visual of current market conditions, overlay
this chart with 5, 20 and 50 ema and slow
stochastics. You will find that this will help you
with your personal daytrading, giving you the
“heartbeat” of the market.
Terry has logged out
Ken-ST Moderator: cleon: np
James-ST Moderator: Old guys
here...will repeat that everyday...can't stress how
helpfull a visula of the SPX is to help in your
daytrading.
James-ST Moderator: visual
Ken-ST Moderator: Limit order
will execute you at that price or better
Ken-ST Moderator: Stop limit is
the same thing, the only difference is that the Stop
price defines WHEN the order is sent.
James-ST Moderator: hey
stan48.......
cleon k, done with the order
questions, thx again!
Ken-ST Moderator: np
josh thk for asking cleon I was

kimmron has logged out
James-ST Moderator: hey
bearrally, are you taking on GOOG anytime soon?
cleon not a question, but a
sanity check, ken, i'm finding the best entries to
be when i use conditional orders with discretionary
limits - otherwise i get no fill on limit entries
and get bad fills on market orders because it moves
faster than i can react - not the broker in this
case, user error. does my approach make sense, or
is there a downfall to 'automating' the entry via
conditional and discretionary limit (for entry price
control)
cleon or james for that matter
Ken-ST Moderator: its all a
matter or preference.
kimmron has entered DayTrading
Chat
cleon LOL, cheap answer!
anyway, thanks guys, i've probably read 40 books in
the last two months, all the classics, etc., and
gotten more out of tactics in the 1 week that i've
been part of this group!
Ken-ST Moderator: Some may
prefer to use a limit order to cap the amount of
slippage
cleon that's what i mean by
limit with discretionary
Ken-ST Moderator: you may opt
for something a little loose to give you a good
chance of getting in while not letting it get too
far ahead
cleon limit + .05, etc.
Ken-ST Moderator: the thing is
cleon you will need to be flexible
Ken-ST Moderator: .05 on dell
is a lot
cleon i'm basing the
discretionary part on the price, i.e., 20% of profit
potential (in this case of the 1% move)
Ken-ST Moderator: .05 on GOOG
is very tight
Ken-ST Moderator: It all
depends on the price of the stock and its volatlity,
liquidity
Ken-ST Moderator: again, the
profit potential we are lookinig for is a minimum of
1%
cleon i am using .10 (25%) 0n a
40 price stock, etc. e.g., 20-20% of the profit
potential is my discretionary
Ken-ST Moderator: we suggest
taking 1% past your entry
cleon 20-25%
Ken-ST Moderator: we are just
showing what kind of effect 1% has on your portfolio
cleon ok, we're saying the same
thing, thx
Ken-ST Moderator: yes
Ken-ST Moderator: good
James-ST Moderator: For the new
guys here.....feel free to ask questions.....also,
you may open private chat with one of the moderators
if you would like to discuss things in private.
cleon but no real downfall to
automating, right??
cleon i can take this offline

Ken-ST Moderator: DELL new lod
joecgoodman remember that spike
that triggered my stop on DELL, but filled me .23
lower for a profit, albeit only .11?
joecgoodman well, it's gone
now! bad tick. and I have screen prints of before
and after.
James-ST Moderator: I dressed
up as Ken last nite for a Halloween Party....the
response was room clearing......
joecgoodman not that I have a
case, I'm sure they have plenty of disclaimers to
cover bad ticks.
Ken-ST Moderator: lol

went bankrupt
trdr45 bummer great donuts

with Dell...or Gateway for that matter
Chris their computers I maen

joecgoodman http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/
probably not powerful enough for traders yet, but
check out the future...a wall jack that is a
computer.
James-ST Moderator: yes cleon
good idea......secondary exit is up to the
trader......some use trailing stops, some find
resistance levels on the way into the money, others
use closes above the emas.......
Chris the company I used to
work for bought Dell laptops exclusively. I went
through one about every 6 months
cleon wish it were my idea!
from the tapes...
James-ST Moderator: yep cleon
cleon actually, that brings me
to another question from the tapes, do you use the 1
1/2% rule for stops much? or more often technicals?
joecgoodman ooo, ooo, can I
answer that?
cleon LOL - just curious what
we're using and too lazy to check back on the
previous trades :)
Ken-ST Moderator: lol joec
James-ST Moderator: Dell is
going the way of the auto makers imo......they are
confusing greater sales to success.....yet they are
sacrificng profit margins to the point they aren't
making much on all the greater sales
Ken-ST Moderator: Horsechack
comes to mind
James-ST Moderator: Just Type
A's cleon
joecgoodman 1.5% stops are for
Type A trades, Klingon.
joecgoodman oh man, I wanted to
show how good of a student I am. :-(
cleon we can all knock Dell,
but hey, wouldn't you like to be Mike? LOL. ahh,
that's right, thanks joec!
Ken-ST Moderator: lmao
James-ST Moderator: hahahahahha
Ken-ST Moderator: brb gang
joecgoodman I sat next to
Michael in a meeting once when I worked for DELL.
cleon why trade, when you can
just buy the exchanges...LOL
joecgoodman Very quiet guy.
His wife is gorg, maybe even better than the
billions. Nahhhhhh....
James-ST Moderator: wait......
James-ST Moderator: joec, you
mean to tell me you worked at Dell.........sat next
to Michael Dell......and hit on his wife?
cleon LOL...good move JoeC!
actually, Gates kills me, can you imagine having
that kind of cash. i would think at that point,
money would basically be irrelevant. don't like the
hotel, buy the country...
joecgoodman dang it, RACK took
me out
ahk joec has quite an
imagination
James-ST Moderator: joec you
really worked at Dell?
joecgoodman filled a dime past
my stop, too! (still profitable thought) yes, I
worked at DELL, James.

cleon employee #3?
joecgoodman don't I wish.
cleon that would be nice
James-ST Moderator: hey jy
cleon sort of like being the
first barista at Starbucks ;)
joecgoodman the 50 shares of
stock I sold for $1100 net in 1993 would pay for my
house twice now.
cleon ouch
James-ST Moderator: gah
cleon well, at least you had a
chance to short the stock now!
James-ST Moderator: yep
joecgoodman for you folks in CA
and HI, my house is only $170k, but still, wish I
hadn't sold. I guess that's my worst exit to date.
joecgoodman neighbor still
works for DELL, sold some of his shares to buy an
Explorer and a boat. He refers to them as his....
cleon my first wife was my best
exit to date
joecgoodman $250k Explorer and
$100k boat. :-)
James-ST Moderator: lol cleaon
James-ST Moderator: kilngon
James-ST Moderator: ooops
cleon sry, just had to say it

on a daytrade short of DELL. I'll leave that to Ken
and James.
Chris yep
josh has left the room
cleon INTC had a nice chart
today also
joecgoodman the following
supports Chris's prior comment about DELL's machines
I suppose: "Dell said it expected to post a profit
of 25 cents per share for the third quarter,
including charges of $450 million or 14 cents per
share related to restructuring and a defective
product."

James-ST Moderator: yeah, saw

cleon btw, Jose, Murphy's book
on TA is great, one of the big three on the subject
- Pring, Edwards, Murphy. I thought Murphy's was
the easiest to follow.
cleon on that subject, anyone
know any good books on 'daytrading' tactics? not
general investing/stocks? Pring has one on TA
setups for day trades but I haven't read it yet -
wondering if anyone had some good choices.
joecgoodman cleon, would you be
interested in a good video on daytrading?
cleon sure - also, Ken/James,
how does INTC look for a short (recent lows?)

cleon do you filter on HV

Ken-ST Moderator: no we do nt
Ken-ST Moderator: not
Ken-ST Moderator: we scan daily
charts to see if they have at least the 1% profit
potential
Ken-ST Moderator: it is clearly
seen on the daily chart
cleon i assume volume takes
care of market cap in a sense...as long as it's

jy The Federal Open Market
Committee increased its target for overnight
interest rates by a quarter percentage point to 4.0%
Tuesday. This is the twelfth straight meeting with a
quarter-point rate hike. Rates are at their highest
level since June 2001. The increase in the federal
funds rate was expected by traders and economists on
Wall Street. The vote was unanimous. The committee
once again concluded that its monetary policy stance
remains accommodative and that this "accommodation"
could be removed "at a pace that is likely to be
measured."
