THIS IS WHAT TTT IS ALL ABOUT !

Congratulations on a great day Tom!
I was just about to find another line of work but days like today keep us coming back.
I had a great day too, made about $1,500 from trades I put on Friday and yesterday. Could have done a lot better if I would have taken some of the futures trades
but I had sworn off futures a couple of weeks ago. I will have to rethink that.

Anyway thanks for your help, hope this is the botom, sure felt like one.

tomthetrader: Yes ...and the Banks are on Fire
tomthetrader: I said that the EPICENTER are the financials
tomthetrader: more money will be made in UYG and FAS than any other vehicles in here
tomthetrader: already hitting 12-14 on UYG and FAS for over 120K realized since we started
JR Roden: I loaded up on those June $3 calls (I can't hold back when you start to beg like you did on this one)
DE_TTT: Beginning to smell burning fur and melting claws...
tomthetrader: Yes .....that could be a very good money maker as the leverage is so high from .20 cents to 2,00
tomthetrader: we got some of those Calls very low
tomthetrader: and some as high as .75
Nick_H_SanDiego: nice jr & tom
TraderTim: Market internals strong A/D: +1745 Trin: .5
tomthetrader: working it hard
DE_TTT: II Bulls 31%...AAII Bulls 22%...may take awhile to convert them back, no?
TraderTim: last week
Nick_H_SanDiego: BANK rallied back to Mon's hi
tomthetrader: Target 800 SPX futures
tomthetrader: DDM took OFF !
tomthetrader: 20 contracts of NQ at 1188 still held
tomthetrader: YM Futures 10 contracts
les13436: With a rally like, this isn't a low TRIN (.47 ) abnormal??
tomthetrader: Yes
TraderTim: A/D: +1958 Trin: .4
tomthetrader: but it is due to mainly a handful of stocks
tomthetrader: HOD
TraderTim: small number of big stocks leading the way!
les13436: UUFFC up 25%
tomthetrader: Love this market
tomthetrader: 2.35 2.36

ctmhou: Tom, how does one read the Zweig Breadth Thrust indicator?
tomthetrader: Red may know more on the thrust indicator but the basic jest is 9-1 positive a/d line or up down volumes provide THrust for further gains ...it is like a rocket ship the more thrust the longer it lasts
tomthetrader: the Nov rally had great thrust and got 40% gains from bottom
ctmhou: Thanks sir.
tomthetrader: FAS up 20% gain
tomthetrader: I think we take profits ?
tomthetrader: 10% gains "normal" today

TraderTim: A/D: +1951 Trin: .48 BKX: +10.8% Baby!!!!
Nick_H_SanDiego: we need the antonym of Widow Maker for today's TF
tomthetrader: very successful auction too
redliontrader: Thrust indicator is a 10 day average of the %of advancing issues.. a move from 40% (where we were yesterday) to 61.5% in 10 days is a marker for a bear to bull reversal.. fires very very rarely
Nick_H_SanDiego: thx red
tomthetrader: yes ...thanks ...Prof. Zweig did not make this indicator up it was developed by someone else
TraderTim: NIC: How's this? TF is a widow maker (when it kills ya) or mistress maker (when it lines your pockets)
tomthetrader: 7279 YM via cash 5 long
Nick_H_SanDiego: BANK rolled over
ctmhou: Why YM?

DE_TTT: Looking forward when XLF goes up 33% in a day...and FAZ consequently goes to zero, naught, nil.

DE_TTT: BYD up 30% as the BUYER of Station Casinos.
tomthetrader: wow !
ctmhou: Tom, how much do you think that naked shorting, no uptick, had to do with the demise of the banks?
tomthetrader: 7275 stops
Nick_H_SanDiego: stay away from SKF...I took $138K loss on SKF options last yr
tomthetrader: I have never played it
TraderTim: SKF (Corpse Creater)
ctmhou: And Nick, our mission as a group, is to re-coup those losses. We will win.

redliontrader: I'd like to go 100% overnight, maybe 75%, you don't think follow-thru the opening?

TTT HEDGE FUND 2009 EXPLAINED

The reason I started this business was to raise awareness that investors / Traders had to do more than just buy Mutual Funds or CD's ...it is a age of the smart investor. Using many products like 2-3X Etf's and Futures and options we are able to say WE CAN BEAT THE STREET sometimes by several 100% !

How ?

I have developed a proprietary set of indicators that works for short term and intermediate term trades...and I am sorry to say ...but for the coming decades ...that is all you have ...the days of buy GM or GE and holding or buying Peter Lynch and retiring is over. I worked with Dr. Martin Zweig , the greatest Trader of our time and have built my models to beat the street in any situation.

The biggest misconception is we are to risky or we could blow up !

On the contrary our use of stops and ONLY getting aggressive during times of big rises and declines keeps us making huge profits while mose lag. Yes we like to use e-minis and 3x ETF's but everyone is going to have to learn...so why not join us...Here is whatwe offer.

TTT daily e-mails 10-30 daily...like em or not you get them with updates and services from the world over that I deem important for your investing future. " TTT cuts down on my work...he is my decision making...if he likes it I e-mail him and BUY BUY BUY " Tim EurekaCA

I want to invite you all to look at my past record and then call me or e-mail me....there are millions to be made with the VIX at these levels... do not let FEAR beat you up..I have more experience than 90% of the Wall Street gurus and I stand up to every call every day !

Please join me as we continue to ride the bottom of this "bathtub bottom" and if you are here when it turns up ...I can guarantee you will double your money as we will be the first ones in !

"Tom has blessed me with over 300 winning trades in just 12 months ...my trading was so poor until I met Tom...I think he is the best kept secret on the net ...in the world !"

John Seattle WA

So take the time to give me a call or send a e-mail ..go on a trial ..see whatit is like to get treated with respect and learn from my mistakes in this business....I know this is right for you if you want to help your family into retirement.

Join me today and get all my portfolios and address your needs daily !

tomthetrader: I wanted to go larger with a longer time frame but the seasonals are -
(3:12 PM) JR Roden: A quick move up to the 13 EMA on the 5 min Q's and then a smack back down again. Let's see if we can push up through and get the Options Week up move started early
tomthetrader: Finally some volume on a up tick ?
(3:13 PM) JR Roden: Did make a few $ on some Q puts bought just after lunch. And like I just told Wigwam ... a $20 win is still WAY more than you'll see in interest on your bank statement.
tomthetrader: Yes ...we have learned a break even is HUGE win ...anything over commission is great $400 is our goal but we will take $25 if we can get it
(3:18 PM) JR Roden: Look at the Q's hourly chart. Double bottom with positive divergence forming. And this hour's candle has a huge tail on it, if it can hold for another 12 min.

(11:39 AM) TraderTim: This is one of the values of the ROOM. I still fight FEAR to hold the positions long enough for the probability trade to work. Your COACHING is enormously valuable and critical.
(11:40 AM) TraderTim: FULK: I don't always do it this well so you know. I am still working on the FEAR when pullbacks happen. THx for sharing.
(11:41 AM) TraderTim: TOm really is helping to create the ability to BUY the pullbacks (assuming a good low risk setup) in spite of FEAR.
(11:41 AM) TraderTim: I am putting this out for new members as one example of how the room is used. Just an FYI (and not bragging since I fail more often than succeed with my emotions )

tomthetrader: I just want the uptick rule reinstated
(12:35 PM) ctmhou: Again, when I bought my home in 1987, they wanted collateral before I bought.
tomthetrader: SEC Shapiro can do that in a press conference today
(12:36 PM) TraderTim: no one complained while homes were going up and 401K's rose. This is a education issue on "wealth" and needs to be taught in public schools
tomthetrader: 20% is what I have put down on all the homes I have owned except the last one
(12:36 PM) ctmhou: ABSOLUTELY, Tim. I have said that for ten years.
(12:36 PM) TraderTim: I would love if my little boy would get a class called RISK 101 at some point in his schooling . . . if not, I will bring him on to TTT chat and we will teach him

tomthetrader: Thanks ...a good bid to cover necessary here /
tomthetrader: 30 year auction much more important Aruj ?
(1:00 PM) arujunaa: i don't think so. a 2bp tail would be viewed as a decent auction
tomthetrader: good
tomthetrader: 30Year much more important /
tomthetrader: I think we can reenter long again here

(1:12 PM) arujunaa: it went as expected. now people will set up for 30s. in fact it was a very FAIR auction which means that bonds are acting rationally now. i see any weakness over next 24/48 hours as a good buying opp. btw, i hate santelli. he's an idiot

It may have some minor resistance just ahead at the January high, but it is a very good-looking formation. The other indices have a lot more work to do in order to have the inklings of a positive technical picture, with the first hurdle being the recent high around 875 on the S&P 500.
(12:21 PM) Alert: Message was not sent. The message was too long or contained non printable characters.

(1:58 PM) ctmhou: Nick, do you like the new movable brackets on TOS?
(1:58 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: You know I stopped using TOS for futures...too primitive...I've switched to the InfinitAT platform thru Infinity Futures...$500 day trade margin $4.80 r/t

(1:59 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: So I sell 1/2 at 2 tick profit, then move my stop to -2 ticks
(1:59 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: all automatic
(1:59 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: TOS can't do that!

(2:00 PM) ctmhou: website?1
(2:00 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: So I use TOS for charting and AT for trading futures
(2:04 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: Also, if you want to use Ensign charting software (like Thomas), Ensign can use data from Infinity and IB for free. So there is just the Ensign monthly fee of $39

(2:06 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: roubini on bloomberg now
(2:07 PM) ctmhou: DOes that mean the market will fall, if he is bearish?

tomthetrader: again back to 100% cash here as the market may be setting up for a buying opp
(2:16 PM) TTTMichael: Tom, In all seriousness, I cannot find any setups as most leading sectors/stocks are over extended on their 3 day RSI.

tomthetrader: Thanks
tomthetrader: These are the stocks I want to add soon
(2:20 PM) TTTMichael: I seems like most of the leaders are putting in double tops going back to early Jan. A small set back prior to a breakout on the third try might do the market good.

(3:07 PM) Fulkdaddy: I am quite bearish here....every single rally of the last 18 months has been an opportunity to sell.

(3:53 PM) TTTMichael: Tom, bring on the music.
tomthetrader: Or am I supposed to sing ?
tomthetrader: I think we said if Thomas comes back I would sing ?
(3:53 PM) ctmhou: Do not SING. I reppeat, DO NOT SING.
(3:54 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: we excuse that requirement
tomthetrader: Let's vote ...music or a solo from me to Thomas ?
(3:54 PM) redliontrader: hard day to trade, ad lines flopping between +/- up/down volume moving like and oscillator..

(3:54 PM) ctmhou: That's a choice?

(3:56 PM) thomas_Poland: yes call me ..
(3:56 PM) ctmhou: When you startle them with your singing, they run in all directions and hurt themselves.
tomthetrader: please load up BGU or BGZ ...or Seiko watches

(3:56 PM) ctmhou: That'll scramble the markets.........
(3:56 PM) thomas_Poland: you can redirect to dev/null .. .if you know what Unix system is
tomthetrader: They have banned me already in 84" tough crowd ?
tomthetrader: In the near term I find the market is now overbought. It is not drastically overbought. In fact, if it backs off for a few days, it can easily get oversold again and rally into the latter part of the week
tomthetrader: 30-day moving average of the advance/decline line is overbought and it likely won't move back to oversold until just after options expiration on Friday, Feb. 20
(3:58 PM) TTTMichael: YES, yes,yes,
tomthetrader: I am pleased the ratio of the KBW Bank Index (KBW) to the S&P didn't make a lower low and is on the rise. I will continue to monitor it closely for potential signs of failure. It needs to surpass that late January high now as its next hurdle.
tomthetrader: Helene info from Dave

tomthetrader: seems a weird number ?
tomthetrader: OK
(7:49 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: that is what I use during the day when I can use the TICK for entry
tomthetrader: should use a Fib # for good luck ?
(7:49 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: but at nite i obviously need a different set of rules which are a work in progress
(7:49 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: well that was the 161.8% extension
(7:49 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: so it actually was a logical fib level
tomthetrader: true
tomthetrader: 3 ?
tomthetrader: is a good one
tomthetrader: I use 4 during day on manual stops
tomthetrader: with Vix over 40
tomthetrader: points 16 ticks

tomthetrader: 855.75
(7:51 PM) Nick_H_SanDiego: I do 2 contracts, take 1/2 off with 2 tick gain, then move my stop to -2 ticks, which gives me a free trade
