tomthetrader: I am not going to trade today until some things settle down
(10:40 AM) thomas_Poland: or make money on short
(10:40 AM) thomas_Poland: but long is not making money today too
(10:43 AM) Alex1978: i think short term (i.e. 1 day) there are too many bulls so my bias is bearish but it wont last more than a full trading day i think
tomthetrader: market is "wearing down" and will be a bit more vulnerable on both long and short side
tomthetrader: as the day wears on there should be a move of sustained down or up
tomthetrader: most likely down
(10:45 AM) pupster1: so with whichever the wind blows....
tomthetrader: well i think it will depend on risk
(10:46 AM) pupster1: y
tomthetrader: if you are risky and want a trade
tomthetrader: you can flip a coin
(10:46 AM) Alex1978: good trade could be long iwm and short spy/dia
tomthetrader: if you are a trader and want to hold off for a better set up
tomthetrader: I think that has been good advice so far
tomthetrader: Bullish a/d and smallcaps ..bearish getting to severe overbought
(10:48 AM) pupster1: Solars looking good...CSIQ CSUN SOLF TAN...
(10:53 AM) pupster1: NBR sporting a Bull Flag on day chart ... small risk

(11:26 AM) berniectx: y
(11:26 AM) thomas_Poland: y
(11:26 AM) JR Roden: y
(11:26 AM) billb1947: y
(11:26 AM) thomas_Poland: you woke me up
(11:26 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Alex did you look at the 2 GLD elliott wave I charts Tom sent around
(11:26 AM) les13436: y
(11:27 AM) csu30: y
(11:27 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: amen
(11:27 AM) Alex1978: no i didnt...when was the email sent?
(11:27 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: 7:38am Pacific Time
(11:27 AM) thomas_Poland: Nick .. in my opinion your platform does not make a good job with Elliot
tomthetrader: ssri
(11:28 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Thomas, what platform would you recommend?
tomthetrader: FCX
(11:28 AM) thomas_Poland: if . ... if I make elliot I do it myself
(11:28 AM) thomas_Poland: but I don't lately
(11:29 AM) thomas_Poland: MTPredictor seems ok
(11:29 AM) thomas_Poland: for trading
(11:29 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: My platform only analyzes the previous 300 bars
(11:29 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: which apparently they've backtested and found that to be the optimal look-back period
(11:30 AM) thomas_Poland: but waves need some symmetry
(11:30 AM) ctmhou: Tom, ZTR must be getting ready to spit out a divedend.
(11:30 AM) thomas_Poland: those are not symetrical
(11:31 AM) Alex1978: my (long) gold trade would be just a bounce in november. there is good support around the 70-71 area on GLD
(11:31 AM) thomas_Poland: I am not saying pefect symmetry but some
tomthetrader: DBA DBC FCX EP UNG CHK
tomthetrader: SM isstill a great position
(11:38 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: I've ordered a couple of books to try to learn more about Elliott theory
(11:38 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: If anyting, because the Elliott software is so expensive, that I think gives us owners an edge because not that many people can afford it
(11:39 AM) thomas_Poland: elliot can be good I think
(11:40 AM) thomas_Poland: but I think you always need to have two possibilities
(11:40 AM) thomas_Poland: and of of those will play out
(11:41 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Plus Optionetics teaches only 2 entry setups to look for...which are the Wave 4 completed trade (start of Wave 5): The Oscillator must pullback to between 90% and 140%, Wave 4 retracement should be no less than 24% and no more than 62% length of Wave 3, and then the price my break above the Elliot Breakout Trigger (EBOT)
(11:41 AM) thomas_Poland: long with close stop
(11:42 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: And then Wave 5 completed trade (Wave 5 retracement begins): prior Wave 4 conditions have been met (above criteria), the Wave 5 oscillator snould be noticeable weaker than Wave 3 oscillator level, price must break above the EBOT
(11:44 AM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Thomas, does your Ensign do Elliott?
(11:44 AM) thomas_Poland: don't know
(11:44 AM) thomas_Poland: did not check it as I use elliot not so often
(11:44 AM) thomas_Poland: bernie here?
(11:45 AM) thomas_Poland: beeeeeeerrrrnieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
(11:47 AM) thomas_Poland: ok people sleep
(11:47 AM) thomas_Poland: I hope they can move this market before elections
(11:55 AM) thomas_Poland: we should go higher
(11:55 AM) thomas_Poland: hopefully making HOD soon
(11:56 AM) thomas_Poland: I hope we can go to 985-987 so we can short
(11:56 AM) thomas_Poland: die bears !

(12:04 PM) thomas_Poland: bernie?

(12:06 PM) thomas_Poland: you make it on 5 or 2 min charts?
(12:06 PM) Alex1978: VIX getting pretty extended to the downside too...im still leaning mildly bearish
(12:06 PM) berniectx: not sure how helpful but like watching it on 2 min charts
(12:06 PM) thomas_Poland: yes ensign says the best on 2 min
(12:06 PM) thomas_Poland: I will watch it for some time
(12:07 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Looks like the $SPX has run out of steam here...972
(12:07 PM) thomas_Poland: I hope we can go to 985 Nick
(12:07 PM) pupster1: NDX and NQ's look to take off here possibly

tomthetrader: Great
tomthetrader: ES mostly ?
tomthetrader: any particular trining or methodology /
(2:16 PM) Three_Taverns: mostly ES for the last about 4 years. trading stocks/options prior to that.
(2:16 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: stopped out again SSO 31.70
tomthetrader: ES much better ?
(2:16 PM) Three_Taverns: for me. but, that is just me
tomthetrader: I will buy 1 here
tomthetrader: ES long 1
tomthetrader: 961.50 cash
tomthetrader: stop 944
(2:18 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: bounce off lod
(2:18 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Tom each pt in es is $50 right?
(2:18 PM) billb1947: at 5min 50sma
(2:19 PM) ctmhou: Yes, Nick on ES.
(2:21 PM) Three_Taverns: i got no trigger on the 962.50, but i am an intraday trader, so for someone, like you all, that trade more position type traders, that means nothing. i hope it goes to 1000 for you all.
(2:21 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: three what signals do you use?
(2:22 PM) Three_Taverns: it is proprietary, so can't mention the specifics. i'm sorry.
(2:23 PM) Three_Taverns: i can say that my favorite trades are market profile generated.

tomthetrader: stop 944.00
(2:25 PM) Three_Taverns: look how well tom did last week. i wouldn't be looking to fix it since in my opinion 86k on a 200k account isn't broke.
(2:25 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Ok for those of you who are using SSO instead of /ES, I did some calculations, and 758 shares of SSO is = $50 per pt in $SPX, just like the future, so that is how to size your position
(2:26 PM) ctmhou: Oil is off over $4.
tomthetrader: Time will tell whether we see such a bullish break but the indications are, at a
minimum, that the banks index is set to outperform the broader market.
(2:31 PM) Three_Taverns: like the 2 to 1 risk to reward on your trade.
tomthetrader: 959.00 stop cash SPX
(2:32 PM) RV_trader: VIX broke down gard 5min
(2:32 PM) RV_trader: hard
(2:32 PM) Three_Taverns: now even less risk since you all moved your stop up.
(2:33 PM) Three_Taverns: do you still have the 975 target for today and 1000 for the overall trade?
(2:33 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Three, Tom uses the $SPX cash value for his stops and entry during market hrs when trading /es
(2:34 PM) Three_Taverns: ah. thanks.
(2:34 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: hopefully your platform can use a watch a different instrument for stops
