Re: Let's talk stocks & IPO

Traders can do a small bear-bounce trade, but else, cannot bottom pick for longer timeframe yet. My 2 cents.

Holding some exisiting positions since last week for the long haul, for instance, SCI at 4.82.

June 25 (Straits Times) -- THE Downtown MRT Line 2, which will link Singapore's north-western corridor to the new Marina
downtown by 2015, is likely to be delayed because a main contractor has gone bust. Austrian builder Alpine Bau, which was working on the line's King Albert Park, Sixth Avenue and Tan Kah Kee stations, filed for insolvency last week after a failed restructuring plan. Industry players said the most optimistic outcome would be a six-month slowdown.

See SMRT's chart. Ripe for a 50% short to 1.405, if breaks, adds to shorts?

chartwise,
this may-june period seems similar to 2008 may -june period..where theres a few rebounds, and after that it crash after major shortselling.

do u think it might happen this time round?

The set-up is different this time. It is post a multi-month decline.

Back then, it was against a 5-6 mth uptrend.

But take notice of the way it trades after a long period of consolidation - spiked up and sell-down, broke below range.......

Again, the context was different. Current state could be closer to Jan 2010 or Jan 2011 - after a prolonged multi-month uptrend.

For stocks or FX/Futures?

There is no single methodology for all traders, or investors, against various asset classes and across multiple timeframes. I don't believe in one-size-fit-all technique for all practitioners, given varying risk profiles. I learnt a bit from V3Go and T3B, but I think I learnt more from Ray Barros and Tom DeMark from a broader-based approach.

Even the likes of Elliott and Bollinger, I find limitations and shortcomings in application, intepretation and execution. But some principles are helpful in forming the bigger picture.

Personally, I pulled and plugged all I have learnt into a model which formed a matrix of 6 parameters - direction, trend, levels, range, odds and momentum to decide on my positions.

In many circumstances, I ended up NOT trading given the conflicting signals of some of these parameters. That in itself, I find, is a skill many practitioners do not understand. The art NOT to engage, when the peer pressures are overwhelming.

And in infrequent circumstances, I have ended up profitable on both LONG and SHORT trades on the same name - sort of a calendar spread strategy.....
 
Re: Let's talk stocks & IPO

for stocks...

personally i find stochastics, macd, rsi quite lagging indicators,

prefer price action, volume, trendlines, prior highs and lows, candlesticks(not very accurate too)

and im not sure if v3go,sgx swinger, gonna teach me what i already know, or some secret formula...

Agree wholeheartedly with the indicators you have mentioned.

Take for instance, in a massive (volume) and acute (steep) selldown scenario, very often it is accompanied by macro news. Some of these events can be structural, and the damage to the market can last for a long time. Those indicators like MACD, Stochastics and RSI are all useless. But on the right side of the V-shape curve, the shape of these indicators will help to decide on the sizes of bets. It helps in execution, not overall reading.

For portfolio views, it takes a bit of research.

For trading views, I think most of us can get 60-70% of the trade correct. But that's not the trick. The trick is to get these 60-70% of the trades very profitable, and at the same time make sure that those 30-40% of the scratched/losing trades, the losses are minimal. That is not easy for many.
