MS Please
MS I have a feeling its going down some more this afternoon
Ken-ST Moderator: the market?
MS Yes the market
MS Although as you said early this morning their is still an uptrend bias
kristi Hi Ken,
kristi Oops, sorry I sent it before finishing the message. I have a trial membership. Do I need to renew or will it auto bill?
Ken-ST Moderator: No kristi it will not automatically do it for the trials
Ken-ST Moderator: it does on the regular membership
Ken-ST Moderator: yeah MS, the trends are still intact
Ken-ST Moderator: the 5 min EMAs are still in a downtrend on the SPX but its all up on the Naz and the Russell
kristi ok, I'll be sure to renew. Glad I asked. thanks
Ken-ST Moderator: No problem.
t2t JADE is my hero
Ken-ST Moderator: wow that thing is still rising
Ken-ST Moderator: spectacular
kristi would anyone mind sharing how much you trade in individual stocks in terms of dollar amount? I'm thinking at least 10k or 1% would not be worth it with commissions.
MS I personally trade 25K with the market and 15K against
kristi thanks MS
alex has logged out
Ken-ST Moderator: nice management MS
Ken-ST Moderator: also kristi glad you are thinking in terms of absolute dollars instead of shares
kristi I'm a newbie so I'm thinking of starting out with 5 - 10K per trade to be conservative.
Ken-ST Moderator: yes, start of slow
emilio Ken/scott : does market direction really affect the morning breakouts?
emilio I strong stock in a weak market is a VERY strong stock, in my opinion.
MS Kristi- In other word if the market is up and the signal is long I trade 25K, if the market is up and the signal is short I trade 15K . The only difference I have is that my stop losses are never greater than 1.5% no matter what.
Ken-ST Moderator: not that much emilio
Ken-ST Moderator: the first period are run more on emotions, market momentum plays less of a factor in the morning session
kristi Do most of you use speedtrader? Any other brokers? I've been checking it out. They have a nice platform.
Ken-ST Moderator: Many in here use Harmon Trading as well
Ken-ST Moderator: also Tradestation
kristi Thanks for clarifying MS. That sounds like a great strategy since the risk is greater when you trade against the market. How's it been working for you?
MS I am using Trade Station, but it takes a while to understand all the functions etcc....
emilio ok thats what i thought, and yes perhaps a different USD approach in afternoon calls, no? I personally do same usd amount on each trade in the same day, but would reduce/increase depending on market condition that day.
Ken-ST Moderator: I would say be more conservative in the Afternoon.
Ken-ST Moderator: The best advice is to trade just the first hour
MS So far so good.
kristi The first hour? How come?
MS Kristy- If all synchronize - example market is up and I get a few Long and all that happened in the first hour, it is 85% a fantastic day
Cale Kens most fav word, Conservative
Cale which is good though
Scott-ST Moderator: the 1st hour is when stocks make their major moves
kristi I like conservative too
t2t JQ, that was almost 30 mins
Ken-ST Moderator: krisit the first hour is mostly on emotions. we capitalize on those emotional trading
Ken-ST Moderator: The first hour of hte day provides the best opportuniites
kristi gotcha. thanks
JQ Calebo was gone 30 min.?
JQ Was Erin on CNBC??
JQ Or maybe Miss. Ray
t2t not sure JQ, was on the phone and TV muted

Ken-ST Moderator: Market new hod
Scott-ST Moderator: Looks like the Merkets want to fill the GAP
MS Yes Nasdaq almost in positive territory
emilio isn't it 80% gap fills probability?
Scott-ST Moderator: yep
Scott-ST Moderator: over time all gaps get filled
emilio I know some traders that play gap fills on ES? do you agree Ken/Scott
emilio talking daytrading Gap Fills
Cale wow did you see that house blow up?
t2t yea, how do you drive into a house?
Ken-ST Moderator: there are countless strategies out there
Ken-ST Moderator: some focus on gaps
Ken-ST Moderator: i personally do not
Ken-ST Moderator: not for my eminis trading
emilio no, the stops can be quite deadly on gap plays
emilio but overtime it's a money maker
kristi Just to be sure I understand. If a stock gaps up, then eventually it will almost surely go back down?
emilio Kristi : not on equities but on indexes/ futures
Scott-ST Moderator: thats the theory on gaps
kristi I thought I had heard that before
emilio Ken, did you catch that breakout just before lunch on the ES?
kristi Do you guys have a favorite strategy between the A, B, and C strategies?

Scott-ST Moderator: now or how?
Ken-ST Moderator: Pretty good bob
allegro_bob how now brown cow
allegro_bob Ken - do you just play es?
Ken-ST Moderator: Yes
allegro_bob I'm interested in exploring that - do you have the details on the website
t2t Ken, what do you think about ARRS if new HOD?
Scott-ST Moderator: http://www.swingtrades.com/emini.htm
t2t however, a bit extended
allegro_bob thanks scottie
Scott-ST Moderator: just a bit t2t
Scott-ST Moderator: and the markets are all oversold right now
Scott-ST Moderator: not sure it would be a good HOD play
t2t ok, thanks Scott
Scott-ST Moderator: it does have room to move up, and you would only need $0.14
MS Kristie - The best suggestions, I have for you is not to complicate anything, just do the signal that Ken or Scott provides and do a good money mangement and you'll make money
allegro_bob Ken / Scott is the reason for ES vs ... on nq the return?
Scott-ST Moderator: but not sure the risk is worth the reward
Ken-ST Moderator: brb
Scott-ST Moderator: the ES flows more smoothly
t2t it's there but it is lunch time too - got slapped trading during lunch yesterday
emdee has entered DayTrading Chat
kristi Thanks MS.
MS You are welcome
kristi how much do you guys average in commissions per month?
Cale yep, lunch is like trading after the market
t2t i'm usually about $100 a day on commissions
t2t at least
Cale I avg $250-300 per day
Scott-ST Moderator: but Cale is a mad man Trader
t2t although today i'm already at $140
kristi it adds up quicki
t2t but i've cleared almost $700
kristi way to go
t2t with a $-200 trade
t2t TXRH...grrrrr
Kramer there goes ARRS....nice job
MS Kristie - Commissions are irrelevant in this game, the slippage is what's eats up the profit, that's why you must route your orders very quickly to the one ECN who has the shares avalaible at the best price
t2t not in Kramer - no lunch trading for me today
Kramer probably a good idea
kristi market orders scare me a bit, but the limits probably don't get filled a lot
t2t well said MS, being very efficent with your system will bring rewards, else spoils
MS Kristie - My commissions are around 2 to 3% but slippage is more likely like 12 to 15%
kristi ouch
MS Kristie - I go in with stop market order and get out with market if touched
kristi Has anyone had success being filled with stop limit orders?
MS I route most of my orders via ARCA and that seems to be working fine
bobby has logged out
jorge3 Yes Kristi. LimitStop orders working well at IB
emilio i'd advise setting your stop at entry and limit .20% above.
emilio on entry taht is
MS Kristie a stop limit order requires 2 prices -One above and one below - If the price jumps above you will not be filled
Cale its all good
Cale me too MS, most though ARC or INET
Kramer has logged out
Ken-ST Moderator: back
kristi I've noticed when I place buy stop limits, sometimes they aren't filled.
Ken-ST Moderator: any questions?
Cale wb
Ken-ST Moderator: tx
kristi Hi Ken, what do you think of using buy stop limits ?
Cale yw
kramer12 has entered DayTrading Chat
Ken-ST Moderator: on entries?
kristi Yep
Ken-ST Moderator: They are ok if you dont want to be around at the trigger
pb Ken does TXRH have room to go up if it takes out HOD at 15.90?
Ken-ST Moderator: but for me I usually like to be placing the orders when they trigger.
Ken-ST Moderator: Mostly because I can assess an early entry, or better determine whether or not to use market or limit orders
kristi But, it seems the prices move so fast
Ken-ST Moderator: if I use limit, I can better determine how much higher than the trigger to put it
Scott-ST Moderator: looks that way, pb, but note the markets Stochastics are turning dow from overbought
emilio in Theory i agree KEN, but in practice, you are better off setting a BUY/SELL at STOP market with entry point
pb thanx Ken
MS Kristi - Keep it simple. Stop market for entry and Market if touched for profit
emilio over 50% of tredes here are pops , and reaches .40% in no time
emilio i even set a STOP order MArket 1 cent before trigger, and still get on some trades > .20% from entry point
emilio I think you will miss the trades if you set a limit order... my opinion here
MS T2T did it yesterday he got filled 3 cents before me
t2t sorry about that MS
emilio and I agree with MS, if you have a MIT (Market if touch ) on exit, you are sure to exit
MS No problems
Cale lol
kristi never heard of mit - do you set that at the target price?
t2t ARRS made the 1% and then some
MS yes, if the price touches your target it becomes automatically a market order
emilio Not all brokers have MIT...TSdoes for example
kristi Looks like the morning trades are more profitable. Has that been the pattern for a while?
Ken-ST Moderator: yes
MS Can't answer that question Kristi - If can only say that 90% of the action is on the first hour
Ken-ST Moderator: that is why we stress trading the first hour
Ken-ST Moderator: after that higher percentage plays are in the eminis imo
emilio Kristi: i would strongly recommend you trade in a simulator the first 2 weeks
Ken-ST Moderator: very much so emilio
Ken-ST Moderator: thats great advice
Cale good recommendation emilio
emilio KEN/Scott strategies is not your avg .20% daily profit kind of calls
Cale who is this Darby Chick on CNBC?
Cale HOT or NOT?
kramer12 how about ADBE buy at 41?
Cale cant tell
Ken-ST Moderator: sorry I didnht understand your question emilio
bobby has entered DayTrading Chat
emilio you need to be comfortable in losing 2-5% a day
emilio and you must also be comforatble making 2-5% a day
Scott-ST Moderator: might work Kramer, but we will avoid
t2t she looks pretty good Cale
kramer12 can I ask why?
emilio No questions...just saying that this room calls is not a .20% gain or loss....
Ken-ST Moderator: the market is just coming off overbought
Ken-ST Moderator: at the 1:00 turn time
Scott-ST Moderator: lot of suport at the 41 area
Ken-ST Moderator: You want to avoid longs as market is coming off overbought area at the turn time
Scott-ST Moderator: ADBE has good resistance between 41 and 41.80
kramer12 ok..thanks
Scott-ST Moderator: keep an eye on it though
kramer12 how about ERTS if it gets to 52.91?
emilio FED minutes coming out soon? how does that affect your calls?
bobby has logged out
Scott-ST Moderator: Kramer note the big red candle from 2nd
Scott-ST Moderator: ERTS would need to get above that to make the reward worth the risk
kramer12 or FSLR at 51.90 or JOYG here...do any of these look good to you?
Scott-ST Moderator: FSLR might work, but as Ken said, you really dont want to look at going long with the markets so overbought
t2t Cale, u didn't get in on ARRS did you?
kramer12 ok...just trying to learn
Scott-ST Moderator: same with JOYG
kramer12 ty
Scott-ST Moderator: np
Scott-ST Moderator: ask the questions, thats why we are here
Cale nope, sure didnt t2t you?

Scott-ST Moderator: NO
Ken-ST Moderator: Same setup as ADBE and FSLR
Cale t2t, dude, run from GIGM

Ken-ST Moderator: One strategy to participate in the runners like ARRS: Wait for pullbacks to the 5 ema on 5 min. Then buy the breakout at a new hod. Your stop will be a penny below the low of hte pullback
