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?
kenntona;1008021 said: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.
Long ago......

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.....

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...
