temp Reason for Buy / Sell / Short / Cover:

 

  1. Price has dropped below the neck support line on the weekly chart.
  2. I should have been more patient in my entry. Should have waited for it to come to 20MA line in intraday chart.
  3. Monthly chart shows that the price not only dropped below the neck line support. It is also below the uptrend line now.

 

Lesson Learnt:

 

  1. Watch closely the GLD price movement. They are highly correlated.
  2. I should have checked when they will announce quarterly report. Guess what, they will do so on 7th May. Looks like I can be in deep trouble.          ;-)

temp Reason for Buy / Sell / Short / Cover:

 

  1. After covered from short from previous two days, the price can hardly get up above the 50MA line in intraday chart.
  1. Price has gone down since it last reported its quarter announcement.
  1. More and more counters in my entire watch list are showing downturn.
  2. Price has breached the daily 50MA line.
  3. All secondary indicators in the daily chart are pointing downward.

 

Lesson Learnt:

 

  1. I actually shorted it at a much better price last week, but market came out with some good data in the next two days and market started to rally. AAPL share started to rally back and I decided to cover and watch from sideline.
  2. Actually the correct way is to set the stop loss somewhere above the 20MA line.
  1. Don't get panic again this time.

5th May 2012 – Changing chart type

I have been reading newsletter from MarketWatch everyday and looking at those charts presented by those experts. I started to realized that certain chart type seems to attract me more, especially the OHLC type posted by Kevin Marder.

temp

Hence I have taken a month time to try it out and I think I will start changing from candlestick to OHLC from now on until I decided to change again. Here is the sample that I will start using in my blog.

AAPL -  All_60m 2012-05-05

Profit

6 Days

 

temp Reason for Buy / Sell / Short / Cover:

 

  1. My stop loss point at $34.50 triggered.
  2. Market rally just because AAPL quarter report is much better than expected. AVGO also follow the rally and gave a rebound.

 

Lesson Learnt:

 

  1. I was actually thinking of cover @ $32.80, but I was greedy and expect it to drop further to $32.00 which is the next support trend line.
  2. I was also thinking of how to add my short in this ticker.
  3. Anyway, this stock is still a good short candidate, will come back later.

temp Reason for Buy / Sell / Short / Cover:

 

  1. AAPL is going to release its quarter report tonight. I am not going to try going against it. AAPL constitute a big portion of QQQ.

 

Lesson Learnt:

 

  1. I might miss the chance to earn BIG, but I don't think I can take the risk to fight against AAPL quarter report.
  2. If AAPL report is bad and the technology sank, I am not sure how to get in to this SQQQ.     ;-)

temp Reason for Buy / Sell / Short / Cover:

 

  1. Decided to cover after seeing a strong move upward even though the market is going down to protect my capital.
  2. AAPL is going to report quarter on Tuesday, result is most probably on the +ve side and that can drive the market up easily. Hence it will not be good for  this short.

 

Lesson Learnt:

 

  1. My decision at late night was worth every single cents. Price gapped up more than 3% before market today.
  2. It is WRONG to pick this stock to short in the first place. Patient, time will come.
