Hi ,
We have been battling the market and have finally come out on top with some very leveraged plays and some really key stock and sector picks ! Now is a time though to start taking profits and we will cut our exposure a lot over Friday and then buy back into the next 1-3% correction.
WE WILL KEEP
WFC and sell all other positions on the close or before tomorrow and go into Monday , the day before the election with 95% cash and Wells Fargo .
TRADERS Has a Bunch of losers from SEPTEMBER that we have to sort thru but are in good shape now with 5 straight days of big wins. Traders are 70% long and 30% cash and will go 40% long with just losing positions and sell the rest tomorrow also.
Great job by all of you and I am very happy we have made it through this toughest of times and there will be low hanging fruit soon and easy money will be had ! I hope you can stay with me as I have proven for 33 years I can beat this market with regularity and this season upcoming could be one of the best I have seen !
Remember the 2009 discounts are in effect only through this weekend and please let me know so you do not have to pay the higher price on November 1st.
Finally thanks to all who pre- paid for 2009 ...it makes it easier on all of us and the less billing we do the more research and info/ data / trades we can do !
PayPal $125 or $499 to : tomandprisha@msn.com via Paypal
I will update with many reports tonight !
Nice Job !!!!

OK NOW IS THE TEST OF A NEW MOVE ?
(10:07 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: yes bingo
(10:07 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: a simple stop will place a market order when the stop value is hit
(10:08 PM) pupster: that will turn into a market order once it hits
(10:08 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: right
tomthetrader: moving stops to 945 ES on 10 long from 934.50
(10:08 PM) ctmhou: And hopefully the order is higher when it's hit.
(10:08 PM) pupster: did u buy in ah's Tom?
(10:09 PM) ctmhou: Tom, when the hell did you do that?
(10:09 PM) pupster: Thanks Nick....believe it or not...I kind of knew it but we were going around in circles
(10:10 PM) pupster: simple....LIMIT on upside and STOP on downside targets...
(10:10 PM) ctmhou: Exactly........
(10:10 PM) pupster: Tom did u buy at the mkt close or in AH's
(10:10 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: yup
(10:10 PM) pupster: cool
(10:10 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: I know that is a big source of confusion because stop is really a dump term for it
(10:11 PM) pupster: yep
(10:15 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Now are you going to ask how to do a trailing stop on the upside?
(10:15 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: just to make it more confusing
(10:15 PM) pupster: lol
(10:16 PM) pupster: when the time comes we'll go over it
(10:17 PM) ctmhou: Nick, after your explanation of the option webinar, my brain crossed...
(10:17 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: I'd be happy to give you some one-on-one tutoring anytime
(10:18 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Hey is www.traderslibrary.com website down for anyone else?
(10:18 PM) ctmhou: I'm not sure you would have the patience, Nick.
tomthetrader: After hours late
(10:19 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Well, the offer stands anytime. I enjoy teaching.
(10:19 PM) pupster: u bought late in AH's...?
(10:20 PM) ctmhou: Thanks, Nick. When I'm ready, I'll let you know. Just learning futures right now.
tomthetrader: (9:30 PM) ctmhou: Well, the ES is having fun at the moment.
tomthetrader: yes China Taiwan etc trying to get us back to even
tomthetrader: Time for baseball ...check back in 45 minutes ...I am long 10 ES
(10:21 PM) ctmhou: Damn Tom. What the heck was I looking at..................
tomthetrader: (9:31 PM) ctmhou: We should thank them.......OH, we do by buying everything from them.
tomthetrader: so I have a stop close on both sides
(9:32 PM) ctmhou: Lidge can come in and get a save. What a career turnaround for him.
tomthetrader: E-MINI S&P 500 Dec ’08 21:21:33 EDT 939.00 12.00 927.75
tomthetrader: Yes Fun for him to comeback
(10:22 PM) ctmhou: Am I reading a negative divergence in th e2 min chart on ES?
tomthetrader: so it was just before 9:00pm and we have taken off
(10:22 PM) pupster: ok
(10:23 PM) pupster: great job
(10:23 PM) ctmhou: 10 contracts...............I could have been done for the week. Shoot!
tomthetrader: very aggressive on the world cuts
tomthetrader: very bullish all countries working together
tomthetrader: not isolationism
tomthetrader: extremely bulllish
tomthetrader: but we are not back to our highs
(10:24 PM) pupster: Tom.....like Nick.....I would love to follow you every move on CHAT for TRADERS only to shoot foe a double every quarter......
(10:25 PM) ctmhou: Tom, is the ES after hours working like the ES should work during hours? No radical movement in 5 min timeframes?
(10:25 PM) pupster: how could we make CHAT so that those who wanted to do the same follow you in this way without staering away
tomthetrader: Yes ....I can be done ///I have 13 prfessional traders who work on their own and only call me ...and they make 100 -1 million per year
tomthetrader: they wer in here in 05-07
tomthetrader: you can become very successful
(10:25 PM) pupster: and do it during trading hours
(10:26 PM) ctmhou: Serious? WOW!
(10:26 PM) pupster: Tom....I don't understand....
(10:26 PM) pupster: if we could double our $
(10:26 PM) pupster: like you
(10:26 PM) pupster: and follow your every move
(10:26 PM) ctmhou: I can't wait for a virtual room with you Tom.
tomthetrader: In order to really kill the market you do have to be leveraged and margined long several times a year and it is no fun
(10:26 PM) pupster: why wouldn't we want to do that?
(10:27 PM) pupster: 2x
tomthetrader: we are still looing for areas that are better than this
tomthetrader: I am going to get stopped out
(10:27 PM) pupster: yeah...but the only real trouble you've had was being stubborn to what was really going on
(10:28 PM) pupster: causing you to try and be a HERO and you knew you shouldn't have followed those emotions...
(10:28 PM) pupster: otherwise...
(10:28 PM) pupster: under normal circumstances
(10:28 PM) ctmhou: Tom, on my 2 min ES chart, MACD is going down while price is going up. Divergence?
tomthetrader: yes ...and the fact i did not give the respect deserved out of what turned out to be a much more publicized black hole ..in the 90's greenie would have said we are OK pump some money in and gone
(10:28 PM) pupster: you are as top notch as they come
(10:29 PM) ctmhou: I like your transparency, Tom.
tomthetrader: but this time every fed and treasury / government official had to be a TV star and go to meadiaand tell America how bad it is and how bad it will get
tomthetrader: 1st time ever for that
(10:30 PM) pupster: so....how can we structure this so that everyone who wants to double their $ can do it by easily knowing the %'s that need to be alocated for traders for specific trades during CHAT
tomthetrader: I appreciate your patience ...we will have a good run into years end with futures . options ETF's
tomthetrader: earnings plays
tomthetrader: I think the % part is the most important
tomthetrader: we are working with 200K and we size each position
tomthetrader: if you have 10K yo go in in 10% positions
tomthetrader: or 100K 10% positions
tomthetrader: we never have more than 5-8 positions
(10:32 PM) pupster: Again.....real simple....how can we keep it simple enough to follow your every move to double our money evry quarte during CHAT
tomthetrader: we daytrade for most of pour profits
tomthetrader: and swing trades are from long past ! But I hope we have one now
(10:33 PM) pupster: but TRADERS swings also...correct?
tomthetrader: Yes
tomthetrader: Easily
tomthetrader: yes
tomthetrader: if you just go thru chat the past 4 sessions ...look at the trades
tomthetrader: I was working with 110K more or less as 90 K plus tied up in losers
tomthetrader: we made 40K in 4 sessions
(10:34 PM) pupster: for TRADERS?
tomthetrader: all in our chat ...Thomas does not allow this trading at night
(10:35 PM) pupster: so with 1/2 of the TRADERS account you booked 40k
tomthetrader: (3:27 PM) thomas_Poland: Tom you made only 26k today
tomthetrader: we made over 50K in past 4 sessions with all daytrades and a few overnight with margined 2x long ETF's
tomthetrader: pretty much 50% gain in 4 sessions
tomthetrader: on cash available
tomthetrader: In a bear market long
tomthetrader: just imagine what a bull market is lioke
tomthetrader: like
tomthetrader: if we cam get a 20% rally before jan 1st we should book 1/2 million
(10:41 PM) pupster: awsome
(10:42 PM) pupster: Tom.....we need to be ULTRA clear
(10:42 PM) pupster: in CHAT so I can make a fractio of that ....lol
tomthetrader: In chat ..we cannot take a penny of anthing before there is at least 10 Traders in room in morning ...0 at night ..no profits at all at night
tomthetrader: so everything i made tonight ..ask thomas 0 in traders
tomthetrader: I just post so others can see
tomthetrader: we can only log in profits when at least 10 Traders are active and only in the morning til 4:15pm
tomthetrader: no nights at all
tomthetrader: CRYSTAL clear and Thomas has a record of every trade and everyone has the ability to timestamp every move and record all actions here
(10:46 PM) pupster: i didn't know that as far as needing to have 10 Traders in CHAT
tomthetrader: so it is as open and transparent as any site I have ever seen
tomthetrader: and Thomas has to be one of them
tomthetrader: can't just be us at 6:00am
(10:47 PM) pupster: has there ever been a point where you would transfer any losing trades from Traders into Main...
tomthetrader: this morning we were able to get long at 5:30 am at much risk and Thomas was there and about 12 others
(10:47 PM) pupster: to free up funds?
tomthetrader: I have taken cash from the main account to "fund" the Traders account
tomthetrader: when we get hit with losses early
(10:48 PM) pupster: actually that's what i meant
tomthetrader: Like I should have done with XLKAT
(10:48 PM) pupster: so....to be fair...
tomthetrader: now I am hamstrung
(10:48 PM) pupster: how could we try and mimic TRADERS if you can do that?
(10:49 PM) pupster: innocent question...
tomthetrader: woth 100K in unrealized and in a poor cash / leverage situation
tomthetrader: it has only happened 1x -2x in 3 years so I don't know
tomthetrader: good question ..hope it doesn't happen but it is a good question
(10:50 PM) pupster: so for the most part it's never done but can happen....
tomthetrader: yes
tomthetrader: I know it has happened but can'tremember ...yes I can it was the two crashes in FEB and Jan
tomthetrader: of 07 and 08
tomthetrader: we got nailed for big losses and had to borrow from main fund for daily trading ..we repaid and went about our usual
tomthetrader: I missed the Jan 08 fall
(10:53 PM) pupster: so....we would have been stuck if following your every move at that stage.
tomthetrader: and the FEB 07 we were short but got long too soon and got nailed
tomthetrader: actually no ...you would have been unable to trade for about 4 days as the market came back quickly and we were back to 200K
(10:54 PM) pupster: ok...........
tomthetrader: they ..if you look on the charts were like mini crashes
(10:54 PM) pupster: ok
tomthetrader: very short and then bounced back
tomthetrader: and both early in the quarter
tomthetrader: so we always reset at 200K each quarter
tomthetrader: and that is the toughest time
tomthetrader: like baseball season or grades
tomthetrader: you need to get off to a good start
tomthetrader: buying a millionXLKAT in Sept was not a good start
tomthetrader: and if I would have used my stops we would have doubled our money already
(10:57 PM) pupster: k
tomthetrader: so poor cash managemnet and being too cocky and emotionally egotistic ...I hurt the fund
tomthetrader: and my members who had smaller accounts
tomthetrader: and I have to live with thatdaily as we have lost some good friends
tomthetrader: that took big hits with their positions and went into OCT instead of jan
tomthetrader: in options
tomthetrader: and got killed with no stops
tomthetrader: But we are OK now and back to " normal"
tomthetrader: I am off to bed
(10:59 PM) pupster: good night
tomthetrader: Hope I amswered all of your questions and glad to have you part of the least known but most knowledgeable traders group in th world
tomthetrader: we do have info / data that no one else gets
(11:00 PM) pupster: y
tomthetrader: and traders with a great feel
tomthetrader: night
(11:01 PM) pupster: nite

tomthetrader: Over the past four days, the S&P futures have moved a combined 160 points during the last 45 minutes of trading. Essentially, that means that the index has moved 17% over three hours of market time
tomthetrader: trading or jail time ?
tomthetrader: I'm not sure what the fundamental justification would be for adjusting the market cap of the S&P by about $1.5 trillion in three hours
(9:57 AM) thomas_Poland: and in jail this one is waiting
(9:57 AM) thomas_Poland: sell the open ..cover on close
(9:58 AM) thomas_Poland: I think we will go high tomorrow and sell off again at the close tomorrow

(10:04 AM) TraderTim: so can we chart the A/D and draw trendlines
(10:05 AM) TraderTim: I get it on my feed

(10:24 AM) thomas_Poland: P/C 0.70
(10:24 AM) thomas_Poland: more bearish
(10:24 AM) thomas_Poland: TICK hitting -600 bearish
(10:24 AM) thomas_Poland: and my best few I don't want to mention
(10:24 AM) thomas_Poland: one of them just made me worry about my short
(10:25 AM) thomas_Poland: but because I have stop at breakeven I have no risk now
tomthetrader: I think you are in trouble /
tomthetrader: if you follow those indicators today
(10:26 AM) thomas_Poland: maybe
(10:26 AM) thomas_Poland: but no risk now
tomthetrader: if you do not smooth them out over 10 days min
(10:26 AM) thomas_Poland: and we should get 938 or even 928 ??
tomthetrader: if you don't trend those they will kill you
(10:27 AM) thomas_Poland: I tried Tom .. but now prefer to read them on the day
tomthetrader: in a bottoming market
(10:27 AM) thomas_Poland: Maybe you should teach me ??
(10:27 AM) thomas_Poland: almost 960
(10:27 AM) thomas_Poland: like last time when I took 30 and would make 60??
(10:28 AM) Alex1978: there's good support at ES 940
(10:28 AM) thomas_Poland: not much
(10:28 AM) thomas_Poland: when I try to reenter marekt moves in my direction so hard that I have no chance
(10:28 AM) berniectx: I also use NYSE Trin 10 minute with a 30 period MA which is moving up
tomthetrader: CVS
(10:30 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Geeze DDM just crawling down the BB's

(10:07 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: a simple stop will place a market order when the stop value is hit
(10:08 PM) pupster: that will turn into a market order once it hits
(10:08 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: right
tomthetrader: moving stops to 945 ES on 10 long from 934.50
(10:08 PM) ctmhou: And hopefully the order is higher when it's hit.
(10:08 PM) pupster: did u buy in ah's Tom?
(10:09 PM) ctmhou: Tom, when the hell did you do that?
(10:09 PM) pupster: Thanks Nick....believe it or not...I kind of knew it but we were going around in circles
(10:10 PM) pupster: simple....LIMIT on upside and STOP on downside targets...
(10:10 PM) ctmhou: Exactly........
(10:10 PM) pupster: Tom did u buy at the mkt close or in AH's
(10:10 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: yup
(10:10 PM) pupster: cool
(10:10 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: I know that is a big source of confusion because stop is really a dump term for it
(10:11 PM) pupster: yep
(10:15 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Now are you going to ask how to do a trailing stop on the upside?
(10:15 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: just to make it more confusing
(10:15 PM) pupster: lol
(10:16 PM) pupster: when the time comes we'll go over it
(10:17 PM) ctmhou: Nick, after your explanation of the option webinar, my brain crossed...
(10:17 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: I'd be happy to give you some one-on-one tutoring anytime
(10:18 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Hey is www.traderslibrary.com website down for anyone else?
(10:18 PM) ctmhou: I'm not sure you would have the patience, Nick.
tomthetrader: After hours late
(10:19 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Well, the offer stands anytime. I enjoy teaching.
(10:19 PM) pupster: u bought late in AH's...?
(10:20 PM) ctmhou: Thanks, Nick. When I'm ready, I'll let you know. Just learning futures right now.
tomthetrader: (9:30 PM) ctmhou: Well, the ES is having fun at the moment.
tomthetrader: yes China Taiwan etc trying to get us back to even
tomthetrader: Time for baseball ...check back in 45 minutes ...I am long 10 ES
(10:21 PM) ctmhou: Damn Tom. What the heck was I looking at..................
tomthetrader: (9:31 PM) ctmhou: We should thank them.......OH, we do by buying everything from them.
tomthetrader: so I have a stop close on both sides
(9:32 PM) ctmhou: Lidge can come in and get a save. What a career turnaround for him.
tomthetrader: E-MINI S&P 500 Dec ’08 21:21:33 EDT 939.00 12.00 927.75
tomthetrader: Yes Fun for him to comeback
(10:22 PM) ctmhou: Am I reading a negative divergence in th e2 min chart on ES?
tomthetrader: so it was just before 9:00pm and we have taken off
(10:22 PM) pupster: ok
(10:23 PM) pupster: great job
(10:23 PM) ctmhou: 10 contracts...............I could have been done for the week. Shoot!
tomthetrader: very aggressive on the world cuts
tomthetrader: very bullish all countries working together
tomthetrader: not isolationism
tomthetrader: extremely bulllish
tomthetrader: but we are not back to our highs
(10:24 PM) pupster: Tom.....like Nick.....I would love to follow you every move on CHAT for TRADERS only to shoot foe a double every quarter......
(10:25 PM) ctmhou: Tom, is the ES after hours working like the ES should work during hours? No radical movement in 5 min timeframes?
(10:25 PM) pupster: how could we make CHAT so that those who wanted to do the same follow you in this way without staering away
tomthetrader: Yes ....I can be done ///I have 13 prfessional traders who work on their own and only call me ...and they make 100 -1 million per year
tomthetrader: they wer in here in 05-07
tomthetrader: you can become very successful
(10:25 PM) pupster: and do it during trading hours
(10:26 PM) ctmhou: Serious? WOW!
(10:26 PM) pupster: Tom....I don't understand....
(10:26 PM) pupster: if we could double our $
(10:26 PM) pupster: like you
(10:26 PM) pupster: and follow your every move
(10:26 PM) ctmhou: I can't wait for a virtual room with you Tom.
tomthetrader: In order to really kill the market you do have to be leveraged and margined long several times a year and it is no fun
(10:26 PM) pupster: why wouldn't we want to do that?
(10:27 PM) pupster: 2x
tomthetrader: we are still looing for areas that are better than this
tomthetrader: I am going to get stopped out
(10:27 PM) pupster: yeah...but the only real trouble you've had was being stubborn to what was really going on
(10:28 PM) pupster: causing you to try and be a HERO and you knew you shouldn't have followed those emotions...
(10:28 PM) pupster: otherwise...
(10:28 PM) pupster: under normal circumstances
(10:28 PM) ctmhou: Tom, on my 2 min ES chart, MACD is going down while price is going up. Divergence?
tomthetrader: yes ...and the fact i did not give the respect deserved out of what turned out to be a much more publicized black hole ..in the 90's greenie would have said we are OK pump some money in and gone
(10:28 PM) pupster: you are as top notch as they come
(10:29 PM) ctmhou: I like your transparency, Tom.
tomthetrader: but this time every fed and treasury / government official had to be a TV star and go to meadiaand tell America how bad it is and how bad it will get
tomthetrader: 1st time ever for that
(10:30 PM) pupster: so....how can we structure this so that everyone who wants to double their $ can do it by easily knowing the %'s that need to be alocated for traders for specific trades during CHAT
tomthetrader: I appreciate your patience ...we will have a good run into years end with futures . options ETF's
tomthetrader: earnings plays
tomthetrader: I think the % part is the most important
tomthetrader: we are working with 200K and we size each position
tomthetrader: if you have 10K yo go in in 10% positions
tomthetrader: or 100K 10% positions
tomthetrader: we never have more than 5-8 positions
(10:32 PM) pupster: Again.....real simple....how can we keep it simple enough to follow your every move to double our money evry quarte during CHAT
tomthetrader: we daytrade for most of pour profits
tomthetrader: and swing trades are from long past ! But I hope we have one now
(10:33 PM) pupster: but TRADERS swings also...correct?
tomthetrader: Yes
tomthetrader: Easily
tomthetrader: yes
tomthetrader: if you just go thru chat the past 4 sessions ...look at the trades
tomthetrader: I was working with 110K more or less as 90 K plus tied up in losers
tomthetrader: we made 40K in 4 sessions
(10:34 PM) pupster: for TRADERS?
tomthetrader: all in our chat ...Thomas does not allow this trading at night
(10:35 PM) pupster: so with 1/2 of the TRADERS account you booked 40k
tomthetrader: (3:27 PM) thomas_Poland: Tom you made only 26k today
tomthetrader: we made over 50K in past 4 sessions with all daytrades and a few overnight with margined 2x long ETF's
tomthetrader: pretty much 50% gain in 4 sessions
tomthetrader: on cash available
tomthetrader: In a bear market long
tomthetrader: just imagine what a bull market is lioke
tomthetrader: like
tomthetrader: if we cam get a 20% rally before jan 1st we should book 1/2 million
(10:41 PM) pupster: awsome
(10:42 PM) pupster: Tom.....we need to be ULTRA clear
(10:42 PM) pupster: in CHAT so I can make a fractio of that ....lol
tomthetrader: In chat ..we cannot take a penny of anthing before there is at least 10 Traders in room in morning ...0 at night ..no profits at all at night
tomthetrader: so everything i made tonight ..ask thomas 0 in traders
tomthetrader: I just post so others can see
tomthetrader: we can only log in profits when at least 10 Traders are active and only in the morning til 4:15pm
tomthetrader: no nights at all
tomthetrader: CRYSTAL clear and Thomas has a record of every trade and everyone has the ability to timestamp every move and record all actions here
(10:46 PM) pupster: i didn't know that as far as needing to have 10 Traders in CHAT
tomthetrader: so it is as open and transparent as any site I have ever seen
tomthetrader: and Thomas has to be one of them
tomthetrader: can't just be us at 6:00am
(10:47 PM) pupster: has there ever been a point where you would transfer any losing trades from Traders into Main...
tomthetrader: this morning we were able to get long at 5:30 am at much risk and Thomas was there and about 12 others
(10:47 PM) pupster: to free up funds?
tomthetrader: I have taken cash from the main account to "fund" the Traders account
tomthetrader: when we get hit with losses early
(10:48 PM) pupster: actually that's what i meant
tomthetrader: Like I should have done with XLKAT
(10:48 PM) pupster: so....to be fair...
tomthetrader: now I am hamstrung
(10:48 PM) pupster: how could we try and mimic TRADERS if you can do that?
(10:49 PM) pupster: innocent question...
tomthetrader: woth 100K in unrealized and in a poor cash / leverage situation
tomthetrader: it has only happened 1x -2x in 3 years so I don't know
tomthetrader: good question ..hope it doesn't happen but it is a good question
(10:50 PM) pupster: so for the most part it's never done but can happen....
tomthetrader: yes
tomthetrader: I know it has happened but can'tremember ...yes I can it was the two crashes in FEB and Jan
tomthetrader: of 07 and 08
tomthetrader: we got nailed for big losses and had to borrow from main fund for daily trading ..we repaid and went about our usual
tomthetrader: I missed the Jan 08 fall
(10:53 PM) pupster: so....we would have been stuck if following your every move at that stage.
tomthetrader: and the FEB 07 we were short but got long too soon and got nailed
tomthetrader: actually no ...you would have been unable to trade for about 4 days as the market came back quickly and we were back to 200K
(10:54 PM) pupster: ok...........
tomthetrader: they ..if you look on the charts were like mini crashes
(10:54 PM) pupster: ok
tomthetrader: very short and then bounced back
tomthetrader: and both early in the quarter
tomthetrader: so we always reset at 200K each quarter
tomthetrader: and that is the toughest time
tomthetrader: like baseball season or grades
tomthetrader: you need to get off to a good start
tomthetrader: buying a millionXLKAT in Sept was not a good start
tomthetrader: and if I would have used my stops we would have doubled our money already
(10:57 PM) pupster: k
tomthetrader: so poor cash managemnet and being too cocky and emotionally egotistic ...I hurt the fund
tomthetrader: and my members who had smaller accounts
tomthetrader: and I have to live with thatdaily as we have lost some good friends
tomthetrader: that took big hits with their positions and went into OCT instead of jan
tomthetrader: in options
tomthetrader: and got killed with no stops
tomthetrader: But we are OK now and back to " normal"
tomthetrader: I am off to bed
(10:59 PM) pupster: good night
tomthetrader: Hope I amswered all of your questions and glad to have you part of the least known but most knowledgeable traders group in th world
tomthetrader: we do have info / data that no one else gets
(11:00 PM) pupster: y
tomthetrader: and traders with a great feel
tomthetrader: night
(11:01 PM) pupster: nite

(9:54 AM) thomas_Poland: I need more training
tomthetrader: Over the past four days, the S&P futures have moved a combined 160 points during the last 45 minutes of trading. Essentially, that means that the index has moved 17% over three hours of market time
tomthetrader: trading or jail time ?
tomthetrader: I'm not sure what the fundamental justification would be for adjusting the market cap of the S&P by about $1.5 trillion in three hours
(9:57 AM) thomas_Poland: and in jail this one is waiting
(9:57 AM) thomas_Poland: sell the open ..cover on close
(9:58 AM) thomas_Poland: I think we will go high tomorrow and sell off again at the close tomorrow
(9:59 AM) thomas_Poland: but today a down day
(9:59 AM) TraderTim: Tom, how about a quick lesson on using the A/D line (since it is so important)
(10:01 AM) ctmhou: I want a "SURE THING".
(10:01 AM) ctmhou: Darn
(10:03 AM) TraderTim: so when I see +2000 right now, what does it tell you?
(10:03 AM) TraderTim: is +2000 the same as 2 to 1? How is this calculated?
(10:04 AM) TraderTim: I get only NET
(10:04 AM) TraderTim: so can we chart the A/D and draw trendlines
(10:05 AM) TraderTim: I get it on my feed
(10:06 AM) berniectx: NYSE AD +2042
(10:07 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Tim, what platform are you charting on?
(10:07 AM) TraderTim: A/D using hourly over 10 day
(10:08 AM) TraderTim: I chart using Amibroker with IQFeed (same feed as THOMAS)
(10:10 AM) ctmhou: Have the futures market, in your opinion, picked up in the last few months? Or is the volume in the normal range? In other words, has futures trading becoming more of an everyday tool for traders?
(10:11 AM) TraderTim: thx Tom that was very helpful
(10:11 AM) berniectx: you are a great teacher Tom
(10:11 AM) ctmhou: Your training in a $5.00 book?

(10:17 AM) TraderTim: Tom BOX lower band could be 950 now
tomthetrader: yes
tomthetrader: I will buy 1 ES long

(10:24 AM) thomas_Poland: more bearish
(10:24 AM) thomas_Poland: TICK hitting -600 bearish
(10:24 AM) thomas_Poland: and my best few I don't want to mention
(10:24 AM) thomas_Poland: one of them just made me worry about my short
(10:25 AM) thomas_Poland: but because I have stop at breakeven I have no risk now
tomthetrader: I think you are in trouble /
tomthetrader: if you follow those indicators today
(10:26 AM) thomas_Poland: maybe
(10:26 AM) thomas_Poland: but no risk now
tomthetrader: if you do not smooth them out over 10 days min
(10:26 AM) thomas_Poland: and we should get 938 or even 928 ??
tomthetrader: if you don't trend those they will kill you
(10:27 AM) thomas_Poland: I tried Tom .. but now prefer to read them on the day
tomthetrader: in a bottoming market
(10:27 AM) thomas_Poland: Maybe you should teach me ??
(10:27 AM) thomas_Poland: almost 960
(10:27 AM) thomas_Poland: like last time when I took 30 and would make 60??
(10:28 AM) Alex1978: there's good support at ES 940
(10:28 AM) thomas_Poland: not much

WEEKEND UPDATE : LOWS STILL HOLDING
Hi ,
What a time we live in ! I try to remember 74-74 and the early Reagan years but this time around the "feel" of the TAPE is as ugly as I have ever witnessed . Dating back to June 7th 2007 I noted in my Chat and blogs that the key reversal that day was the beginning of a longer term sideways to down period that would have volatility increase ( easy call it was 7-9 then ! ) and ultimately give us a Bear Market. Well that has definitely come true with VIX popping to 90 and the markets dropping up to 90% in some areas more wealth has been lost in paper terms in this time frame than anytime in this worlds history as not only are we hurting but emerging and other industrialized markets are in far worse shape than we are ! Which is why our currency is on a spaceship ride higher as seen by UUP (one of our Mainfund holdings when it was unpopular along with DUG and DTO !).
We have been searching for a bottom since our CRASH call back on September 15th in which on cue the FED came in and bailed the markets out and led me to believe it was over and we would begin sideways to up and Bull Market soon. Well I could not have been more mistaken as another more vicious leg of the Bear started shortly after a rally off the Crash warnings and took us obviously to yestedays 5 year lows.
We had to go to cash as we were lucky enough to get buy signals on the 3 major bear market rallies and went to cash with some decent profits as the rally of 20% off the bottom was a good one but the Crashes that have followed have us right back defending those lows. So what now ?
On the economy I had called a bottom in housing market 2 weeks ago saying that we will be in a bathtub type recovery until Spring 09 and then up. I have called many of the commodities especially oil perfectly without a lot of profits to show for it but we did use oil as a hedge for a while that helped us through this BEAR but now there is nothing to hide behind. Cash is about the the only place to be for our Main fund until we get a better intermediate term set up. So Our main fund is in cash for the time being.
Our Traders had a wicked start to our lengthened 4th quarter as we were much too optimistic and paid the price with some heavy losses and have been able to recently bounce back with large wins but not enough our overcome our unrealized losses but are fighting daily to get them back. Our strategy is join the herd daily now and short all rallies and buy any extremes but we simply cannot carry positions overnight unless we have a longer term horizon ....like 5 days ! It is simply a Traders market and it is unfortunate but is the hand we have been dealt by a FED Chairman whose main goal is to lower volatility and stabilize markets he has done more to make a circus out of the monetary system than Hoover ! And that is giving president Hoover the utmost respect. The open door policy of having everyone on camera daily is one traders or investors are pretty sick of and should end and let this economy and market run it's course.
Finally I am looking at the consumer....dead ...no...dying ...yes ...but with the dying there will be pockets of strength and again as home sales rose to the highest levels in 5 + years in a report yesterday maybe just maybe there is a Santa Claus after all as a recent poll said that families are actually going to increase spending this year ! With more "stimulus" on the way in gas prices as low as 1.99 in some areas and the congress wanting a vote we may get another stim pac this week ! So I am forever optimistic but short term instead of being a hero and calling a bottom I will simply let the market do that heavy lifting and enter our Main Fund with positions as warranted...I am still of the belief that the Lows on a closing basis are in but we will see more volatility until the rate cuts world wide this weekend and into next weekend are addressed and the currencies and "protectionist" fervor disappears as one that has studied these markets history does not need a isolationist approach to a world problem and signs all this year have shown disconnects that could make this bear continue....so be careful out there and let me know if you need anything 24/7 !

(9:43 AM) pupster1: UPDATE Mc Hugh > I don't mean to scare you tonight, however there is a set-up scenario where we could see a panic plunge, another crash leg, a market meltdown that is simply terrifying over the next three to four days.
(9:43 AM) pupster1: Last night we presented three scenarios calling for a plunge of at least several hundred points that was imminent. We wrote, "Any way we cut it, we should see one more sharp decline, either several hundred points, or several thousand, starting between now and late next week." The Industrials went out and plunged 733.08 points Wednesday.
(9:43 AM) pupster1: The first scenario is where the coming phi mate turn date is a top, with a 2,000 point plunge starting next week. If that scenario is occurring, it means wave 4 up is forming a symmetrical triangle, which requires a series of volatile reversing waves,
(9:44 AM) pupster1: like we have seen so far this week, the first leg up of the triangle the rally Monday and Tuesday; the second of five waves, Wednesday's sharply sell-off. This scenario requires three more reversing "sideways" waves occurring over the next several days,
(9:44 AM) pupster1: then wave 5 down starts next week at our phi mate turn date, scheduled for October 23rd +/-. That decline could be 2,000 points +/-.
(9:45 AM) pupster1: Two other scenarios: One is a catastrophic crash leg that could take the Industrials down to the 6,000's +-, and the That would be wave 5 down, of e down of a-down.
tomthetrader: If we're going to fail, then it should most likely happen within the first hour; if we can go on to make higher intraday highs after that, then I will be anticipating even more gains during the day.
(9:45 AM) pupster1: It suggests wave 4 topped Tuesday, October 14th. It would bottom next week around our coming phi mate turn date. The carnage would be devastating. There are no signs of a final bottom here, precious few buy signals from our many key indicators, so this scenario is frighteningly possible.
(9:45 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: pupster what elliott wave software do you use? And pls explain a phi mate turn date
(9:45 AM) pupster1: The third scenario, is that wave a-down bottomed Friday, October 10th, and that Wednesday's plunge is a nearly completed correction of the first leg up of Minor degree waved b-up which started intraday Friday, continued Monday and finished Tuesday morning.
tomthetrader: If we're going to fail, then it should most likely happen within the first hour; if we can go on to make higher intraday highs after that, then I will be anticipating even more gains during the day.
(9:46 AM) pupster1: That scenario requires an immediate and powerful rally. A break below 7,882.51 eliminates this most optimistic scenario.
(9:46 AM) pupster1: NYSE volume fell to 83 percent of its 10 day average. Downside volume was 98 percent, with declining issues at 90 percent, with downside points at 99 percent, another 90 percent panic selling day.
(9:46 AM) pupster1: S&P 500 Demand Power fell 12 points to 412, while Supply Pressure rose 28 points to 583, telling us once again we saw panic selling, with Plunge Protection Team buying with both hands to support prices.
(9:46 AM) pupster1: The Plunge Protection Team Risk Indicator rose to positive + 11.99 Wednesday, remaining on a "sell" signal from October 1st, which is reason for caution here.
(9:46 AM) pupster1: The NASDAQ 100 plunged 120.36 points Wednesday, closing at 1,244.23. The Russell 2000 plunged 52.54 points Wednesday, closing at 502.11. The RUT Purchasing Power Indicator fell to positive + 0.21 from + 16.33, triggering a "sell" signal October 15th.
(9:46 AM) pupster1: The HUI Amex Gold Bugs Index fell 26.85 points Wednesday, closing at 231.32. December Gold fell to 844.0. Silver fell to 10.15, while Oil fell to 73.10. The Dollar rose to 82.09. Bonds fell half a point to 114^08. The VIX exploded 14.12 higher to 69.25, as fear remains high.

tomthetrader: omthetrader: If we're going to fail, then it should most likely happen within the first hour; if we can go on to make higher intraday highs after that, then I will be anticipating even more gains during the day.
(9:51 AM) thomas_Poland: lets see if the sell program appears
(9:51 AM) thomas_Poland: in the next 5 mins
tomthetrader: Mc Hugh > I don't mean to scare you tonight, however there is a set-up scenario where we could see a panic plunge, another crash leg, a market meltdown that is simply terrifying over the next three to four days.
(9:52 AM) thomas_Poland: pupster just posted it Tom
tomthetrader: I just want to see it ..it makes me feel better
(9:53 AM) pupster1: hope he's DEAD WRONG........would make alot of people happy
(9:54 AM) brownmj21: Tom, i might have missed this discussion yesterday, but if the gov't is going to buy $250billion in stocks, shouldn't that spur on a bull market--at least short term?
(9:54 AM) thomas_Poland: sell program is beeing bought Tom?
(9:55 AM) thomas_Poland: or not unfortunattelly
(9:55 AM) thomas_Poland: sell program
(9:55 AM) thomas_Poland:
(9:55 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Tom, I just emailed you my Elliott Wave charts....all 3 are showing the start of Wave 4 up
(9:55 AM) thomas_Poland: fork
(9:56 AM) thomas_Poland: I hate selling programs when i want to go up
(9:56 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: I would think that for the 9 banks that Treasury invested in, would have a firm support floor in place for those 9
(9:58 AM) Fulkdaddy: my worry is the indicators have not been working under forced selling situations
(9:59 AM) Fulkdaddy: Today: Last week, Tontine Partners, a $10 billion global macro hedge fund, told its investors that it expected to show a loss of 65% for 2008. Fund is under complete liquidation
(10:01 AM) thomas_Poland: Tom we have sell program after sell program now
(10:01 AM) Fulkdaddy: Kass: Hedge funds are now the dominant investor
(10:01 AM) thomas_Poland: but someone is buying
(10:01 AM) ajayvee: how do you tell a sell program has triggered?
(10:02 AM) thomas_Poland: ajay .. when I tell you I have to kill you
(10:02 AM) ajayvee: lol
(10:05 AM) thomas_Poland: Nick?
(10:06 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: yes tomek
(10:06 AM) thomas_Poland: This Elliot wave chart .. I cannot agree
(10:06 AM) thomas_Poland: no Tomek just Thomas
(10:06 AM) thomas_Poland: let me feel that I am from the West
(10:06 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Why do you disagree?
(10:07 AM) thomas_Poland: and another sell program ajay
(10:07 AM) thomas_Poland: proportions of waves are wrong in my opinion
(10:07 AM) thomas_Poland: 2nd wave to short in comparison to wave 3 waves
(10:09 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Elliott Waves are always subject to differing interpretations. This software has tried to condense the very complicated Elliott theory down to very likely scenarios.
(10:09 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: The company ProfitSource has done thousands of back studies to optimize their Elliott charting
(10:09 AM) thomas_Poland: yep but Elliot had rules
(10:09 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: The other thing is they only analzye the past 300 bar
(10:10 AM) thomas_Poland: ajay sell program
(10:10 AM) thomas_Poland: or the same still
(10:10 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: I admit I don't know all the rules about Elliott....which is why I use the software!
(10:10 AM) thomas_Poland: the whole move down was done by sell programs .. in my opinion
(10:11 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Anyhow, like any other indicator you have to take it with a grain of salt and give a smell check with your other indicators
(10:11 AM) thomas_Poland: some trade just elliot
(10:11 AM) thomas_Poland: but like you said ..
(10:12 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: I've taken the Optionetics courses and Optionetics main tool is the ProfitSource Elliott software. They used to use E-Signal Advanced Get, but switched to ProfitSource because supposedly it's better
(10:13 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Tom, did you forward all 3 charts around? Because I only received the NDX
tomthetrader: Yes getting them all around
(10:22 AM) thomas_Poland: get ready for another sell program
(10:23 AM) syzygy111: Why doesn't the SEC reinstitute the uptick rule???
(10:24 AM) Fulkdaddy: Incompetent?
(10:25 AM) Fulkdaddy: On the good news front...my lovely wife is due with #3 today!
(10:25 AM) thefish102: congrats
(10:25 AM) syzygy111: best of everything and good luck Dave
(10:25 AM) Fulkdaddy: Thanks...we are pumped!
(10:25 AM) berniectx: you are good man Dave
(10:26 AM) rekon8_TTT: Dave good luck and 16th is a good day for bday mine too.
tomthetrader: yeah happy rekon
(10:27 AM) JR Roden: Dave - best of luck with the birth and enjoy those baby days / years.
(10:27 AM) Fulkdaddy: Our 2nd, Taylor turned 2 on 10-14...my wife was very worried they would share a b-day...
(10:27 AM) Fulkdaddy: so she stood on her head all day
tomthetrader: 72.80 oil
(10:29 AM) thomas_Poland: the selling is very strong
(10:30 AM) bogdan07: never seen so fast trading in SPY ,170 000 000 so far
(10:31 AM) TraderTim: Toddo said something interesting: They SHORT lower and BUY higher. So far that is exactly how it keeps playing out.
(10:32 AM) thomas_Poland: If we cannot rise now we will be down more
(10:32 AM) thomas_Poland: much more
(10:32 AM) TraderTim: Tom, getting near the bottom of the 880/1000 box.
(10:33 AM) Fulkdaddy: Shoot...making new lows
(10:36 AM) thomas_Poland: that is just normal selling
tomthetrader: could it be another Trend day lower
tomthetrader: certainlly would be time to short
tomthetrader: we sold our options plays this a.m.
(10:42 AM) thomas_Poland: it must be a new world .. or people are getting dumber ??
tomthetrader: just like 99 except opposite ..people got rich being DUMB as academia got stuck
(10:46 AM) ctmhou: What is to curl up?
(10:46 AM) ctmhou: Which chart?
(10:47 AM) ctmhou: OK, Thanks
tomthetrader: simple TICK TRIN VIX etc
tomthetrader: Oscillators / p/c ratios
tomthetrader: and a bunch more "stuff
tomthetrader: 888.00 was last successful Buy long and we are there now
tomthetrader: 880.00 is the bottom pivot in my book
(10:50 AM) ctmhou: My indicators say buy on ES.
tomthetrader: I am good with that Craig ..but like Dave says ..do indicators matter now in this free fall
(10:53 AM) TraderTim: I think a TIGHT stop solves that problem. You play the indicators and abort if they FAIL.
tomthetrader: yes ..that is exactly what I am doing ...again with a bullish bias
tomthetrader: I am just too bullish ...I want to make everyone aware of that
(10:54 AM) TraderTim: yep, I finally figured that out about you Tom You are generally optimistic on things.
tomthetrader: I use so much sentiment and historical precedence in my research and programs that it along with mean reversion is failing to make gains more than in 2 hour stretches
(10:55 AM) berniectx: Think there is something wrong with my genetic makeup wanted to short yesterday first hour and today...have trouble committing to short and has cost me
tomthetrader: I can short ....and do but not nearly as much as this latest bear leg has warranted
(10:56 AM) TraderTim: bernietctx: you are not alone. For some reason I have trouble pulling the SHORT trigger but no problem going long the mean reversions that are failing here. Interesting psychology.
tomthetrader: we could / should short every single rally and thought of rally
(10:56 AM) TraderTim: Once the TTT group gets bearish and starts really shorting, the TURN could be at hand
tomthetrader: there is just a black hole of 0 hope out there
(10:56 AM) thomas_Poland: sell program appears even after 10 mins rally
(10:56 AM) thomas_Poland: just insane
tomthetrader: yep
tomthetrader: relentless
(10:57 AM) TraderTim: Short any RIPS Cover any DIPS
tomthetrader: have to to make $$$$$$
(10:57 AM) TraderTim: But executing that is so hard
(10:57 AM) TraderTim: for me
(10:57 AM) TraderTim: I don't like to fight the 14/14 Tom BUY BUY BUY and other confirming indicators suggesting excessive oversold . . .
(10:58 AM) TraderTim: it goes against the whole system of odds we trained on
(10:58 AM) TraderTim: but those systems (mean reversion) are NOT working
tomthetrader: TTT HAS TO LEAVE FOR A DR appointment recheck with my son ....will return for 1:56pm update ...please keep chat alive ...I may check in via mobile
(10:58 AM) Fulkdaddy: I agree Tim..but as Toddo said, indicators do not work in a crash
tomthetrader: OIL 72.33
tomthetrader: -280
tomthetrader: looks like another TREND day lower
tomthetrader: might as well ride it
tomthetrader: Philly Fed joins Empire ..worst ever
tomthetrader: Market now pricing in depression
tomthetrader: got below 72.00 on oil
tomthetrader: 880.00 broken
(11:00 AM) TraderTim: crude stocks up on report
(11:00 AM) TraderTim: oil -4.5%
(11:01 AM) TraderTim: CNBC expert saying we go to $67 range
(11:01 AM) TraderTim: 880 bottom of box was broke so based on Tom strategy you STOP and REVERSE (short at 880). Wow
(11:04 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Can someone explain to me why the 880 level was critical support? Is that the old low?
(11:05 AM) thefish102: 880 was the buy point last friday
(11:07 AM) nangmuapr: hi
tomthetrader: bye
(11:08 AM) nangmuapr: please to meet you
(11:08 AM) tomthetrader: tomthetrader has bounced nangmuapr from the chat room
(11:08 AM) ctmhou: That was quick.........
(11:08 AM) thomas_Poland: I was to late
(11:09 AM) ajayvee: VIX 80.12
(11:09 AM) Fulkdaddy: Tom, we are making lower lows today...should we go short?
tomthetrader: Yes
(11:09 AM) Fulkdaddy: On a bounce?
tomthetrader: oil 69.00
tomthetrader: as we said early this morning 10:30 am this looks to be a trend day and it usually ends on the lows so everyone should short the market via any source
tomthetrader: 80 VIX
(11:11 AM) ctmhou: And gas is still 2.90 a gallon here in Houston. Go figure...............
(11:11 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: tom what are a couple of good short 2x etfs ?
(11:12 AM) ajayvee: we'll probably see it again tomorrow
(11:12 AM) csu30: Nick, I'm in MZZ which seems to be doing well for my hedge
(11:13 AM) thomas_Poland: and today sell program after sell program
tomthetrader: MZZ is a great one to hedge I bought yesterday
(11:13 AM) thomas_Poland: like now .. last 15 mins
tomthetrader: accelerating
(11:13 AM) thomas_Poland: f....g incredible
(11:13 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: so then opening a short right now is probably not smart
(11:14 AM) thefish102: the cry of the market used to be "JBG" for Just buy GOOG, now it is "JGS" for Just Go Short
(11:14 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: The PPT should be coming in
tomthetrader: VIX 80.00
tomthetrader: predicta a 7000 point dow move in coming weeks
tomthetrader: we could go to 0
(11:19 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: The S&P has already retraced almost 100% of the entire 2002-2007 bull run
(11:31 AM) Frank_TTT: YHOO going straight up last few minutes
tomthetrader: Buyouts need to start Frank /
(11:32 AM) Frank_TTT: i would think so...that may be one of the bright sides that gets market going
tomthetrader: yes
tomthetrader: every time the NYSE TICK has managed to poke above the zero line, another wave of selling pressure has emerged and taken us to new lows. Not good...that will obviously need to change in order to have any expectation of a reversal.
tomthetrader: This is an absolutely vicious tape, and I see no reason at the moment to try to step in front of it with aggressive positions. The best bet from the long side would come in on a reversal back above some kind of support zone, such as 900
tomthetrader: 886.00 buying 2 long with stop at 880.00
tomthetrader: NQ is now a BUY again
tomthetrader: for longer term ....if new money wantsto join in now

(11:44 AM) thomas_Poland: nothing great ..but hope it will become program buying later
(11:45 AM) thomas_Poland: VIX has to go down .. unless the world is over
(11:45 AM) thomas_Poland: ajay when I see program buying I will tell you
(11:45 AM) thomas_Poland:
(11:46 AM) thomas_Poland: in my opinion
(11:47 AM) thomas_Poland: if we don't get one or we have more buying it will be bullish
tomthetrader: should end up today 400-600 points
(11:47 AM) thomas_Poland: internals are much better
(11:47 AM) thomas_Poland: TRIN is trending down
(11:47 AM) thomas_Poland: P/C ratio going up

tomthetrader: Naz is ready to fly NQ 2 long 1232.00
(11:50 AM) thomas_Poland: ok
(11:50 AM) thefish102: Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said Thursday that he thinks a Microsoft acquisition of Yahoo Inc would still "make sense economically" for both companies shareholders
(11:51 AM) thefish102: Ballmer, who made the comments during a keynote interview at the Gartner ITXpo, said he doesn't know what share price Yahoo would have accepted to be acquired after the company turned down Microsoft's unsolicted $33-a-share offer earlier this year.
(11:51 AM) thomas_Poland: you see ajay?
(11:51 AM) thefish102: Ballmer said that even with the recent drop in Yahoo's share price, the company "probably thinks its still worth as least as much today," as when Microsoft made its offer. Yahoo shares rose 9% to $12.87 in early trading
(11:51 AM) thomas_Poland: it is bullish
(11:51 AM) thefish102: explains yhoo's move
(11:51 AM) thomas_Poland: this sell program was bought?
(11:52 AM) ajayvee: what's the difference of a sell program being bought or a buy program?
(11:52 AM) thomas_Poland: I am not an expert
(11:52 AM) thomas_Poland:
(11:53 AM) thomas_Poland: if we have sell program which does not drive the market down someone is buying it
(11:53 AM) thomas_Poland: and buy program is a buy program ..
(11:53 AM) thomas_Poland:
(11:54 AM) ajayvee: that makes it all clearer for me now Thomas....not!
(11:54 AM) thomas_Poland: not ?
(11:56 AM) thomas_Poland: now 200 sma
(11:56 AM) thomas_Poland: we have to go through it
(11:57 AM) thomas_Poland: still another sell program possible
(11:57 AM) thomas_Poland: that is some fight here
(11:58 AM) thomas_Poland: ok here it goes
(12:00 PM) thomas_Poland: todays selling is almost all program selling

(12:16 PM) syzygy111: Tom was an hour and a half off calling the market bottom
(12:16 PM) csu30: Finally hit +1,000 ticks
(12:16 PM) ctmhou: Yahoo is the reason for the market move........? I don't believe it.
(12:17 PM) adham_36:

(12:24 PM) PhotosbyDill: next stop 61.80% 912.65
(12:25 PM) PhotosbyDill: See if breaks this but be careful
(12:25 PM) PhotosbyDill: correction stays above here
(12:27 PM) PhotosbyDill: The price of 905.44 is the 38.20% Fib retrace down from previous swing during after hours last night on @SP

(12:33 PM) PhotosbyDill: Anyone see how the Fibs are working for ou?
(12:34 PM) PhotosbyDill: you
(12:35 PM) ctmhou: How much validity do you put in Fib numbers?
(12:36 PM) PhotosbyDill: Just try them yourself and make your decision . There are many ways to use them.
(12:36 PM) PhotosbyDill: I use them with other indicators also. Fibs best for money management
(12:37 PM) PhotosbyDill: New swing high Fibs are 38.20 = 904.28 61.80 = 893.50
(12:38 PM) PhotosbyDill: Remember these are all on 5min charts
(12:38 PM) berniectx: I like fibs also use dynamic fibs on 5 min ES chart
(12:39 PM) PhotosbyDill: 50% = 898.89
(12:41 PM) PhotosbyDill: Now testing the 38.20% down to see if forms a new swing up?
(12:43 PM) PhotosbyDill: The current bigger swing down was calculated from hi= 926.55 Lo= 881.19
(12:44 PM) PhotosbyDill: Remember from my post of testing 38.20 would take 5min to see if swing up
(12:44 PM) PhotosbyDill: building that candle now

tomthetrader: VIX at this level ..if it reverts to mean to 34 that will give us a 20% rally and a XLK 25.00

tomthetrader: Gold collapsing
tomthetrader: P/C ratios acting well
(2:17 PM) Fulkdaddy: Deflation

(2:30 PM) JR Roden: OK, it's time for that big finish today.
(2:36 PM) Fulkdaddy: I was probably drinking multiple beers back on Black Monday 1987...was it more scary then or now?
(2:36 PM) ctmhou: It seemed to be because of how fast it came on.
(2:37 PM) ctmhou: Now, it's just hopelessness.

(9:43 AM) pupster1: UPDATE Mc Hugh > I don't mean to scare you tonight, however there is a set-up scenario where we could see a panic plunge, another crash leg, a market meltdown that is simply terrifying over the next three to four days.
(9:43 AM) pupster1: Last night we presented three scenarios calling for a plunge of at least several hundred points that was imminent. We wrote, "Any way we cut it, we should see one more sharp decline, either several hundred points, or several thousand, starting between now and late next week." The Industrials went out and plunged 733.08 points Wednesday.
(9:43 AM) pupster1: The first scenario is where the coming phi mate turn date is a top, with a 2,000 point plunge starting next week. If that scenario is occurring, it means wave 4 up is forming a symmetrical triangle, which requires a series of volatile reversing waves,
(9:44 AM) pupster1: like we have seen so far this week, the first leg up of the triangle the rally Monday and Tuesday; the second of five waves, Wednesday's sharply sell-off. This scenario requires three more reversing "sideways" waves occurring over the next several days,
(9:44 AM) pupster1: then wave 5 down starts next week at our phi mate turn date, scheduled for October 23rd +/-. That decline could be 2,000 points +/-.
(9:45 AM) pupster1: Two other scenarios: One is a catastrophic crash leg that could take the Industrials down to the 6,000's +-, and the That would be wave 5 down, of e down of a-down.
tomthetrader: If we're going to fail, then it should most likely happen within the first hour; if we can go on to make higher intraday highs after that, then I will be anticipating even more gains during the day.
(9:45 AM) pupster1: It suggests wave 4 topped Tuesday, October 14th. It would bottom next week around our coming phi mate turn date. The carnage would be devastating. There are no signs of a final bottom here, precious few buy signals from our many key indicators, so this scenario is frighteningly possible.
(9:45 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: pupster what elliott wave software do you use? And pls explain a phi mate turn date
(9:45 AM) pupster1: The third scenario, is that wave a-down bottomed Friday, October 10th, and that Wednesday's plunge is a nearly completed correction of the first leg up of Minor degree waved b-up which started intraday Friday, continued Monday and finished Tuesday morning.
tomthetrader: If we're going to fail, then it should most likely happen within the first hour; if we can go on to make higher intraday highs after that, then I will be anticipating even more gains during the day.
(9:46 AM) pupster1: That scenario requires an immediate and powerful rally. A break below 7,882.51 eliminates this most optimistic scenario.
(9:46 AM) pupster1: NYSE volume fell to 83 percent of its 10 day average. Downside volume was 98 percent, with declining issues at 90 percent, with downside points at 99 percent, another 90 percent panic selling day.
(9:46 AM) pupster1: S&P 500 Demand Power fell 12 points to 412, while Supply Pressure rose 28 points to 583, telling us once again we saw panic selling, with Plunge Protection Team buying with both hands to support prices.

(9:50 AM) berniectx: y
(9:50 AM) brownmj21: y
tomthetrader: omthetrader: If we're going to fail, then it should most likely happen within the first hour; if we can go on to make higher intraday highs after that, then I will be anticipating even more gains during the day.
(9:51 AM) thomas_Poland: lets see if the sell program appears
(9:51 AM) thomas_Poland: in the next 5 mins
tomthetrader: Mc Hugh > I don't mean to scare you tonight, however there is a set-up scenario where we could see a panic plunge, another crash leg, a market meltdown that is simply terrifying over the next three to four days.
(9:52 AM) thomas_Poland: pupster just posted it Tom
tomthetrader: I just want to see it ..it makes me feel better
(9:53 AM) pupster1: hope he's DEAD WRONG........would make alot of people happy
(9:54 AM) brownmj21: Tom, i might have missed this discussion yesterday, but if the gov't is going to buy $250billion in stocks, shouldn't that spur on a bull market--at least short term?
(9:54 AM) thomas_Poland: sell program is beeing bought Tom?
(9:55 AM) thomas_Poland: or not unfortunattelly
(9:55 AM) thomas_Poland: sell program
(9:55 AM) thomas_Poland:
(9:55 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Tom, I just emailed you my Elliott Wave charts....all 3 are showing the start of Wave 4 up
(9:55 AM) thomas_Poland: fork
(9:56 AM) thomas_Poland: I hate selling programs when i want to go up
(9:56 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: I would think that for the 9 banks that Treasury invested in, would have a firm support floor in place for those 9
(9:58 AM) Fulkdaddy: my worry is the indicators have not been working under forced selling situations
(9:59 AM) Fulkdaddy: Today: Last week, Tontine Partners, a $10 billion global macro hedge fund, told its investors that it expected to show a loss of 65% for 2008. Fund is under complete liquidation
(10:01 AM) thomas_Poland: Tom we have sell program after sell program now
(10:01 AM) Fulkdaddy: Kass: Hedge funds are now the dominant investor
(10:01 AM) thomas_Poland: but someone is buying
(10:01 AM) ajayvee: how do you tell a sell program has triggered?
(10:02 AM) thomas_Poland: ajay .. when I tell you I have to kill you
(10:02 AM) ajayvee: lol
(10:05 AM) thomas_Poland: Nick?
(10:06 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: yes tomek
(10:06 AM) thomas_Poland: This Elliot wave chart .. I cannot agree
(10:06 AM) thomas_Poland: no Tomek just Thomas
(10:06 AM) thomas_Poland: let me feel that I am from the West
(10:06 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Why do you disagree?
(10:07 AM) thomas_Poland: and another sell program ajay
(10:07 AM) thomas_Poland: proportions of waves are wrong in my opinion
(10:07 AM) thomas_Poland: 2nd wave to short in comparison to wave 3 waves
(10:09 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Elliott Waves are always subject to differing interpretations. This software has tried to condense the very complicated Elliott theory down to very likely scenarios.
(10:09 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: The company ProfitSource has done thousands of back studies to optimize their Elliott charting
(10:09 AM) thomas_Poland: yep but Elliot had rules
(10:09 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: The other thing is they only analzye the past 300 bar
(10:10 AM) thomas_Poland: ajay sell program
(10:10 AM) thomas_Poland: or the same still
(10:10 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: I admit I don't know all the rules about Elliott....which is why I use the software!
(10:10 AM) thomas_Poland: the whole move down was done by sell programs .. in my opinion
(10:11 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Anyhow, like any other indicator you have to take it with a grain of salt and give a smell check with your other indicators
(10:11 AM) thomas_Poland: some trade just elliot
(10:11 AM) thomas_Poland: but like you said ..
(10:12 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: I've taken the Optionetics courses and Optionetics main tool is the ProfitSource Elliott software. They used to use E-Signal Advanced Get, but switched to ProfitSource because supposedly it's better
(10:13 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Tom, did you forward all 3 charts around? Because I only received the NDX
tomthetrader: Yes getting them all around
(10:22 AM) thomas_Poland: get ready for another sell program
(10:23 AM) syzygy111: Why doesn't the SEC reinstitute the uptick rule???
(10:24 AM) Fulkdaddy: Incompetent?
(10:25 AM) Fulkdaddy: On the good news front...my lovely wife is due with #3 today!
(10:25 AM) thefish102: congrats
(10:25 AM) syzygy111: best of everything and good luck Dave

tomthetrader: yeah happy rekon
(10:27 AM) JR Roden: Dave - best of luck with the birth and enjoy those baby days / years.
(10:27 AM) Fulkdaddy: Our 2nd, Taylor turned 2 on 10-14...my wife was very worried they would share a b-day...
(10:27 AM) Fulkdaddy: so she stood on her head all day
tomthetrader: 72.80 oil
(10:29 AM) thomas_Poland: the selling is very strong
(10:30 AM) bogdan07: never seen so fast trading in SPY ,170 000 000 so far
(10:31 AM) TraderTim: Toddo said something interesting: They SHORT lower and BUY higher. So far that is exactly how it keeps playing out.
(10:32 AM) thomas_Poland: If we cannot rise now we will be down more
(10:32 AM) thomas_Poland: much more
(10:32 AM) TraderTim: Tom, getting near the bottom of the 880/1000 box.
(10:33 AM) Fulkdaddy: Shoot...making new lows
(10:36 AM) thomas_Poland: that is just normal selling
tomthetrader: could it be another Trend day lower
tomthetrader: certainlly would be time to short
tomthetrader: we sold our options plays this a.m.
(10:42 AM) thomas_Poland: it must be a new world .. or people are getting dumber ??
tomthetrader: just like 99 except opposite ..people got rich being DUMB as academia got stuck
(10:46 AM) ctmhou: What is to curl up?
(10:46 AM) ctmhou: Which chart?
(10:47 AM) ctmhou: OK, Thanks
tomthetrader: simple TICK TRIN VIX etc
tomthetrader: Oscillators / p/c ratios
tomthetrader: and a bunch more "stuff
tomthetrader: 888.00 was last successful Buy long and we are there now
tomthetrader: 880.00 is the bottom pivot in my book
(10:50 AM) ctmhou: My indicators say buy on ES.
tomthetrader: I am good with that Craig ..but like Dave says ..do indicators matter now in this free fall
(10:53 AM) TraderTim: I think a TIGHT stop solves that problem. You play the indicators and abort if they FAIL.
tomthetrader: yes ..that is exactly what I am doing ...again with a bullish bias
tomthetrader: I am just too bullish ...I want to make everyone aware of that
(10:54 AM) TraderTim: yep, I finally figured that out about you Tom
tomthetrader: I use so much sentiment and historical precedence in my research and programs that it along with mean reversion is failing to make gains more than in 2 hour stretches
(10:55 AM) berniectx: Think there is something wrong with my genetic makeup wanted to short yesterday first hour and today...have trouble committing to short and has cost me
tomthetrader: I can short ....and do but not nearly as much as this latest bear leg has warranted
(10:56 AM) TraderTim: bernietctx: you are not alone. For some reason I have trouble pulling the SHORT trigger but no problem going long the mean reversions that are failing here. Interesting psychology.
tomthetrader: we could / should short every single rally and thought of rally
(10:56 AM) TraderTim: Once the TTT group gets bearish and starts really shorting, the TURN could be at hand
tomthetrader: there is just a black hole of 0 hope out there
(10:56 AM) thomas_Poland: sell program appears even after 10 mins rally
(10:56 AM) thomas_Poland: just insane
tomthetrader: yep
tomthetrader: relentless
(10:57 AM) TraderTim: Short any RIPS Cover any DIPS
tomthetrader: have to to make $$$$$$
(10:57 AM) TraderTim: But executing that is so hard
(10:57 AM) TraderTim: for me
(10:57 AM) TraderTim: I don't like to fight the 14/14 Tom BUY BUY BUY and other confirming indicators suggesting excessive oversold . . .
(10:58 AM) TraderTim: it goes against the whole system of odds we trained on
(10:58 AM) TraderTim: but those systems (mean reversion) are NOT working
tomthetrader: TTT HAS TO LEAVE FOR A DR appointment recheck with my son ....will return for 1:56pm update ...please keep chat alive ...I may check in via mobile
(10:58 AM) Fulkdaddy: I agree Tim..but as Toddo said, indicators do not work in a crash
tomthetrader: OIL 72.33
tomthetrader: -280
tomthetrader: looks like another TREND day lower
tomthetrader: might as well ride it
tomthetrader: Philly Fed joins Empire ..worst ever
tomthetrader: Market now pricing in depression
tomthetrader: got below 72.00 on oil
tomthetrader: 880.00 broken
(11:00 AM) TraderTim: crude stocks up on report
(11:00 AM) TraderTim: oil -4.5%
(11:01 AM) TraderTim: CNBC expert saying we go to $67 range
(11:01 AM) TraderTim: 880 bottom of box was broke so based on Tom strategy you STOP and REVERSE (short at 880). Wow
(11:04 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Can someone explain to me why the 880 level was critical support? Is that the old low?
(11:05 AM) thefish102: 880 was the buy point last friday
(11:07 AM) nangmuapr: hi
tomthetrader: bye
(11:08 AM) nangmuapr: please to meet you
(11:08 AM) tomthetrader: tomthetrader has bounced nangmuapr from the chat room
(11:08 AM) ctmhou: That was quick.........
(11:08 AM) thomas_Poland: I was to late
(11:09 AM) ajayvee: VIX 80.12
(11:09 AM) Fulkdaddy: Tom, we are making lower lows today...should we go short?
tomthetrader: Yes
(11:09 AM) Fulkdaddy: On a bounce?
tomthetrader: oil 69.00
tomthetrader: as we said early this morning 10:30 am this looks to be a trend day and it usually ends on the lows so everyone should short the market via any source
tomthetrader: 80 VIX
(11:11 AM) ctmhou: And gas is still 2.90 a gallon here in Houston. Go figure...............
(11:11 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: tom what are a couple of good short 2x etfs ?
(11:12 AM) ajayvee: we'll probably see it again tomorrow
(11:12 AM) csu30: Nick, I'm in MZZ which seems to be doing well for my hedge
(11:13 AM) thomas_Poland: and today sell program after sell program
tomthetrader: MZZ is a great one to hedge I bought yesterday
(11:13 AM) thomas_Poland: like now .. last 15 mins
tomthetrader: accelerating
(11:13 AM) thomas_Poland: f....g incredible
(11:13 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: so then opening a short right now is probably not smart
(11:14 AM) thefish102: the cry of the market used to be "JBG" for Just buy GOOG, now it is "JGS" for Just Go Short
(11:14 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: The PPT should be coming in
tomthetrader: VIX 80.00
tomthetrader: predicta a 7000 point dow move in coming weeks
tomthetrader: we could go to 0
(11:19 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: The S&P has already retraced almost 100% of the entire 2002-2007 bull run
(11:31 AM) Frank_TTT: YHOO going straight up last few minutes
tomthetrader: Buyouts need to start Frank /
(11:32 AM) Frank_TTT: i would think so...that may be one of the bright sides that gets market going
tomthetrader: yes
tomthetrader: every time the NYSE TICK has managed to poke above the zero line, another wave of selling pressure has emerged and taken us to new lows. Not good...that will obviously need to change in order to have any expectation of a reversal.
tomthetrader: This is an absolutely vicious tape, and I see no reason at the moment to try to step in front of it with aggressive positions. The best bet from the long side would come in on a reversal back above some kind of support zone, such as 900
tomthetrader: 886.00 buying 2 long with stop at 880.00
tomthetrader: NQ is now a BUY again
tomthetrader: for longer term ....if new money wantsto join in now

(11:44 AM) thomas_Poland: nothing great ..but hope it will become program buying later
(11:45 AM) thomas_Poland: VIX has to go down .. unless the world is over
(11:45 AM) thomas_Poland: ajay when I see program buying I will tell you
(11:45 AM) thomas_Poland:
(11:46 AM) thomas_Poland: in my opinion
(11:47 AM) thomas_Poland: if we don't get one or we have more buying it will be bullish
tomthetrader: should end up today 400-600 points
(11:47 AM) thomas_Poland: internals are much better
(11:47 AM) thomas_Poland: TRIN is trending down
(11:47 AM) thomas_Poland: P/C ratio going up

tomthetrader: Naz is ready to fly NQ 2 long 1232.00
(11:50 AM) thomas_Poland: ok
(11:50 AM) thefish102: Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said Thursday that he thinks a Microsoft acquisition of Yahoo Inc would still "make sense economically" for both companies shareholders
(11:51 AM) thefish102: Ballmer, who made the comments during a keynote interview at the Gartner ITXpo, said he doesn't know what share price Yahoo would have accepted to be acquired after the company turned down Microsoft's unsolicted $33-a-share offer earlier this year.
(11:51 AM) thomas_Poland: you see ajay?
(11:51 AM) thefish102: Ballmer said that even with the recent drop in Yahoo's share price, the company "probably thinks its still worth as least as much today," as when Microsoft made its offer. Yahoo shares rose 9% to $12.87 in early trading
(11:51 AM) thomas_Poland: it is bullish
(11:51 AM) thefish102: explains yhoo's move
(11:51 AM) thomas_Poland: this sell program was bought?
(11:52 AM) ajayvee: what's the difference of a sell program being bought or a buy program?
(11:52 AM) thomas_Poland: I am not an expert
(11:52 AM) thomas_Poland:
(11:53 AM) thomas_Poland: if we have sell program which does not drive the market down someone is buying it
(11:53 AM) thomas_Poland: and buy program is a buy program ..
(11:53 AM) thomas_Poland:
(11:54 AM) ajayvee: that makes it all clearer for me now Thomas....not!
(11:54 AM) thomas_Poland: not ?
(11:56 AM) thomas_Poland: now 200 sma
(11:56 AM) thomas_Poland: we have to go through it
(11:57 AM) thomas_Poland: still another sell program possible
(11:57 AM) thomas_Poland: that is some fight here

(12:14 PM) ctmhou: Tom must have squeezed the ES like a tube of toothpaste.
(12:16 PM) syzygy111: Tom was an hour and a half off calling the market bottom
(12:16 PM) csu30: Finally hit +1,000 ticks
(12:16 PM) ctmhou: Yahoo is the reason for the market move........? I don't believe it.
(12:17 PM) adham_36:

(12:37 PM) PhotosbyDill: New swing high Fibs are 38.20 = 904.28 61.80 = 893.50
(12:38 PM) PhotosbyDill: Remember these are all on 5min charts
(12:38 PM) berniectx: I like fibs also use dynamic fibs on 5 min ES chart
(12:39 PM) PhotosbyDill: 50% = 898.89
(12:41 PM) PhotosbyDill: Now testing the 38.20% down to see if forms a new swing up?
(12:43 PM) PhotosbyDill: The current bigger swing down was calculated from hi= 926.55 Lo= 881.19
(12:44 PM) PhotosbyDill: Remember from my post of testing 38.20 would take 5min to see if swing up
(12:44 PM) PhotosbyDill: building that candle now
