(9:22 AM) PhotosbyDill: Fibs extensions are very good for money management Thomas. I hope this helps

(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.

(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

(10:26 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
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

(11:50 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

(12:34 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.

(12:37 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

(12:39 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: very volatile
(1:31 PM) youngamerican68_1: put in a limit for 31
(1:32 PM) Frank_TTT: so...i guess its from volitility being so high
tomthetrader: this is all based off of fair value and buying and selling pressure and STEALING money from investors on the bid ask
tomthetrader: VIX is driving the markets
tomthetrader: 70 billion t-bills ...194 billion in cash management bills so far 74 bil to come

(2:14 PM) youngamerican68_1: we have 3 months.. long time
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: Not everyone is as happy as me being unrealized 100K down !
tomthetrader: But I have played this for 33 years and feel very good about this ...Like they are talking on TV the TRADING OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME

(2:24 PM) youngamerican68_1: does the high VIX mean all options overpriced at this point
tomthetrader: Just think my first trades for TTT were at 7 VIX
(2:24 PM) ctmhou: This makes it hard to trade. Can't go to the bathroom with an open trade.
tomthetrader: YES
tomthetrader: YES Y
tomthetrader: YES
(2:25 PM) ctmhou: 7 VIX. That's the trend I would be looking for.

(2:26 PM) Frank_TTT: i don't know how accurate there data is on this or if its even coputed the same today, but telechart shows that the VIX spiked to 172.29 (thats not a typo!) at the 1987 crash
(2:27 PM) ctmhou: I remember that day and people were really scared.
(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.
(2:37 PM) youngamerican68_1: i think the suddeness of it made it more scary.. i know of friend in college whose father died of a heart attack a day after it happened
(2:37 PM) Fulkdaddy: Whoa
(2:39 PM) youngamerican68_1: i would think cardiac events are up this past month
