[10:56] {drewj} Vad how do you organize you trade timing with spy?
01[10:58] {Threei} I am not sure the term organize fits here
01[10:58] {Threei} there is no any special procedure
01[10:58] {Threei} I simply look for setups that SPY action supports
01[10:59] {Threei} SPY was in freefall mode, I was looking for shorts
01[10:59] {Threei} AIG fit the bill
01[10:59] {Threei} simple as that
[11:00] {jfjf64} K I S S
[11:00] {drewj} So you are waiting for more powerful impulses?
[11:00] {nemo} no, vodka delivery
[11:00] {drewj} right JF

01[11:00] {Threei} I don't know how to answer that drew, I don't understand the premise of the question
[11:01] {jfjf64} ? They didn't deliver vodka today nemo
01[11:01] {Threei} there is no "impulse" as an element of my system
[11:01] {drewj} So any trade is ok as long as it agrees with the market.
[11:01] {nemo} forgot to put my order in last night
01[11:01] {Threei} there are chart congurations with their elements
[11:02] {jfjf64} Go to other store

01[12:30] {Threei} A confusing dust-up in the Persian Gulf roiled markets mid-morning. Reports emerged around 10:00ET that Iran had seized a US cargo vessel, sending indices tumbling. Within an hour, a more complete picture emerged:
01[12:31] {Threei} apparently the Iranian Revolutionary Guard seized a Marshall Islands-flagged Maersk cargo ship in the Straits of Hormuz and the ship's distress call was answered by a US Navy destroyer, and warning shots were possibly fired by one side or the other.

[14:35] {drewj} Vad are most of your trades channel trades?
01[14:35] {Threei} I never used that name
01[14:35] {Threei} what is channel trade?
[14:36] {drewj} isn't that in 111 Trades book?
01[14:36] {Threei} nope
[14:37] {drewj} Breakout, range and channel no?
01[14:37] {Threei} you are confusing me with someone else :)
01[14:38] {Threei} what is a channel trade?
[14:38] {drewj} pullback thingy?
[14:38] {drewj} I don't know
01[14:38] {Threei} pullback is simply a way of entry
01[14:39] {Threei} my main definitions are trend following and trend reversal
01[14:39] {Threei} trend following includes break of the consolidation range, pullback entry
[14:39] {drewj} makes sense
01[14:39] {Threei} reversal setups are DT/DB, BMR
[14:43] {drewj} so in trend following what is your way of chosing break of consolidation vs pullback entry?
01[14:44] {Threei} observation what works
01[14:44] {Threei} in strong flying market breaks work
01[14:44] {Threei} in more timid one, pullbacks are preferable
[14:53] {drewj} Page 7 of 111 trades says 'Channel Trade' :)
01[14:53] {Threei} have you looked what it is?
[14:56] {drewj} A profit taking strategy
[14:57] {drewj} right?
01[14:57] {Threei} huh?
01[14:57] {Threei} drew, time to reread the whole thing...
[15:03] {drewj} maybe I am using your definitions in the wrong way
01[15:04] {Threei} channel trade as described there is a subset of a subset, pullback entry in a trending market
01[15:04] {Threei} and the way to draw the lines on the chart to determine the probable area of entry and target
[15:14] {nemo} should probably take the morning off
01[15:15] {Threei} huh?
01[15:15] {Threei} why?
[15:15] {nemo} FED
[15:15] {nemo} everything will lock up until 2:00
01[15:15] {Threei} so morning will be the most suitable time, then it will become dead till 2
[15:16] {nemo} hour maybe, but given this action already...
[15:24] {drewj} Have a good eveing guys
[15:24] {drewj} evening
[15:24] {nemo} guess the twtr leak is believed
01[15:24] {Threei} take care drew
