JoeRoss Good evening
streetsamurai good evening
limasierra88 Good evening, I thought for a bit I had mixed up Aug 5 & 12 with tonight
JoeRoss Well I'm glad you made it :)
limasierra88 Hi Joy, now we're joyous
Joy Joe: Good evening to you! I am sorry it was taking a long time for the chat java window to load and I am late.
limasierra88 That you're here, of course
Joy Hi limasierra: THANK YOU! That is so nice of you :) Good to see you too!
JoeRoss We may be the only ones here tonight
Joy Joe: Maybe others also have problem loading the chat.
limasierra88 No problem here with loading
JoeRoss Joy: Anything is possible. You will have to keep it lively or I'll fall asleep.
streetsamurai when starting to day trade what is best to start with for learning e-mini?
Joy Joe: You are so fun! :) I hope you had a nice afternoon and took a nap.
limasierra88 Where is that button for the sound panel?
JoeRoss Our new German seminar site is now online: http://te-seminare.de/
Joy limasierra: You are funny :)
JoeRoss samurai: The best way to start is with a lot of money.
limasierra88 Do you speak German, Joe?
JoeRoss lim: there is no sound. That is because you wouldn't want to hear me snoring
Joy Joe: I saw on the national news today reported from Austin that Texas facing extreme drought and many may have to endure water restrictions. I hope your garden is doing OK.
limasierra88 Maybe we can get that on Cramer's sound panel.
JoeRoss nein, ich spreche kein Deutsch
Joy limasierra: :) Not Cramer's...
limasierra88 Beats booyah in my book
JoeRoss Joy: except for a few things, my garden is burned to a crisp.
iso joined.
Joy Joe: Oh no... I am so sorry! I will pray for rain for you and Texas!
limasierra88 Ditto for further south in TX, we have about 50% of normal rainfall 5.5 inches so far for the year.
Joy lima: Oh dear! Rain for all of you!
JoeRoss We are really down. It would take weeks of rain to get us back to normal. The lake nearby is so low, you can almost walk across.
limasierra88 Thanks for the kind thoughts. Someday our rain will come.
Joy Joe: WOW!
JoeRoss The worst part is that's where we get our water from
Joy There is some kind of water bill passed today on Senate?
Joy marsh: Hello!
JoeRoss People are letting their lawns and gardens die.
marsh hi joe
marsh hi joy
Joy Joe: I hope the live animals are doing OK. I bet the Cotton Futures is rising for this!
limasierra88 We're a bit better off reservoir-wise, due to the hurricane last year.
limasierra88 Cotton crop was bad down here.
limasierra88 Is, I should say
JoeRoss hi marsh
Joy Joe: I read you mentioned recently in the Forum that "True chartists in the old days used logarithmic charts." Do you use logarithmic charts?
limasierra88 SOL - snoring out loud
JoeRoss Joy: the guy in the forum was lucky that I even knew how to spell logarithmic charts.
Joy Joe: LOL! You are too funny! THANK YOU!!
iso Hi Joe… I’m confused about the TTE. When taking the TTE, the #2 point hasn’t been taking out yet, so at that point the “trend” hasn’t changed, correct? I am asking because as I go over my trades and look at the TTEs that don’t work I am noticing that I am fighting the trend. Any ideas on that?
JoeRoss iso: correct. trend not changed. Ideas? choose the ones that do work :) only kidding. I would have to see what's happening in order to answer that.
iso :)
JoeRoss iso: are you coming to the seminar in October?
iso i just saw it, yes I would love to, I was thinking of private coaching but maybe I will do the seminar first
Joy iso: If you come, we can be classmates :) That will be fun to see our Chat friends in person learning from Joe!
JoeRoss Hurry iso, you can still get the discount for the next 2 days.
iso great, i will
Joy Joe: You also wrote about the upcoming change for FOREX traders in the Forum. That only affects FOREX, not Currency Futures, is that right?
JoeRoss I hope marsh and acman will come to the seminar too
JoeRoss joy: only forex
Joy Joe: THANK YOU!
JoeRoss stinsonv: What do you trade?
Joy Joe: With far fewer demand/buying for Treasury (thanks to all the money we print to pile on the debt), does it mean it may be more risky to even enter Treasury Spreads like the NOB? Does the volume change translate to Futures spreads?
iso if you are trading with a 3 min chart lets say, do you use a higher time frame to assist the trade in any way
JoeRoss joy: I don't anticipate a problem. The treasury markets are still liquid.
Joy Joe: That is great! Thank you!
JoeRoss iso: I don't but it's something other traders do.
stinsonv77 i am trying to figure a way to day trade stocks using options using your reversal bars
JoeRoss Joy: Even when the 30 year bond wasn't sold for a few years. the bonds remained liquid and tradable.
Joy Joe: WOW! That is amazing!
Joy Joe: I read on the CME Site "Implied Treasury and Swap Spreads allow for easier and more efficient execution of the most commonly-traded spreading strategies—such as the NOB—and eliminate the risk of not being able to execute the spread at the desired price."
Joy Joe: Do you do that? I have not an idea what they said :)
JoeRoss stinson: That should be easy. Just do what you would have with the stock but use an option.
stinsonv77 problem is the moves often barely cover the commission
JoeRoss Joy: I don't deal in Treasury Swaps.
JoeRoss stinson: how much are you paying?
stinsonv77 1.50
JoeRoss At Interactive brokers I pay only $1
Joy Joe: THANK YOU! Then I am not going to worry about it either :)
Joy Joe: THAT is cheap!
JoeRoss Joy: worrying wouldn't help even if you or I did deal in swaps.
JoeRoss Only action helps.
Joy Joe: RIGHT! Thank you for the motivating lesson :)
stinsonv77 i have been using atm strikes and i might do better itm with higher delta's
JoeRoss stinson: Are you buying or selling ATM
Zeus joined.
JoeRoss There's thunder on the mountain--mighty zeus is here !!
stinsonv77 buying
JoeRoss Ugh!
Zeus Howdy Joe, howdy all.
Joy Joe: I hope that thunder leads to some rain for you :)
Zeus OK Joe.....since nobody is typing,,,,,tell me what you think about "HIGH FREQUENCY TRADING" and what effect it has and has had on the futures markets.
JoeRoss stinson, If you buy an atm option you are getting the worst possible deal. the atms are the most expensive options.
JoeRoss If you are gonna buy, buy itm
Joy Joe: Your Chart Scan lesson on congestion cannot be more relevant... is the stock index entering congestion with several dojis in a row on the daily charts?
JoeRoss Zeus, come to the seminar. I will show what high frequency trading does to the market.
JoeRoss Joy: it looks like it the up move is ending and the start of sideways price action
Joy Joe: THANK YOU! I forgot to mention last week the new Look and Feel of Chart Scan is OUTSTANDING: very helpful navigation and beautiful design!
JoeRoss susan worked hard on it
stinsonv77 since i was only in for 30 minutes or so i figured the extrinsic would not hurt the problem i believe is the low delta's only give me partial profit,i think i will try 80 delta or so.
Joy Joe: Please thank Susan for us! She did an awesome job!
JoeRoss stinson: sounds like a plan.
Joy Joe: As the hour is nearing the end, I want to wish you a safe and happy trip to Panama in the next two weeks. I hope you and Mrs. Ross have a wonderful time.
JoeRoss We are going to try to do that.
Joy Joe: Please make sure you take time to rest --- don't work the entire time! :)
JoeRoss In case the rest haven't heard, there is no chat next week or the one after.
streetsamurai left.
iso have a great vacation
Joy Joe: I will miss you very much!
JoeRoss I'll miss yueh very much too ;)
limasierra88 Wishes for a successful trip, and that you do relax a little on "vacation".
Joy Joe: THANK YOU! I will be thinking of you and praying for you every day!
JoeRoss Thanks Joy
marsh Have a nice time Joe, see you then.
JoeRoss ok bye everyone.
JoeRoss I'll be fine if I can keep the email from piling up while I'm gone.
Joy Joe: THANK YOU for the lessons! Have a good night! Love and Kisses!
Joy Joe: You will have to designate the emails to someone else so you can relax after you get back :)
stinsonv77 went to college with a brat from panama and he said they have the most beautiful women in the world so with mrs ross's permission check that out for us
JoeRoss I'll be happy to do that stinson
