PS: I would like to thank the following...

PS: What did I learn today?
  • Supertrend strategy doesn't work after an uptrend. 
  • New strategy. Resistance and support.
  • Queue GTD for every buys and sell. 
What did I learn previously?
  • 5% profit is faster to reach than 10%. Hence Change strategy. Go for $ target. Use pivot points. 
  • Buy early when I identify one stock to buy.
  • 10% strategy is not efficient. Change to $100 strategy instead. 
  • Missed SEAC spike 3 times within a week. Dripped to negative immediately after the spike. Lesson - Queue up to sell at 12%. Forget about using alerts.
  • Premarket moves are irrelevant and distracting. Stop tracking them. 
  • Buying at the market close is not a good idea. Too many premature supertrend false alarms. Stop trading from 3 to 4 pm. 
  • Sell immediately if price spikes on news.
  • Check yahoo finance trending stocks. 
  • Missed the NFT STOCKS!!!!! Pay attention next time follow the trend.
  • Follow most-watched stocks on yahoo finance coz they are more volatile. 
  • I need a supertrend screener. 
  • I missed many buy signals in the travel industry. So please Monitor all related big movers every day.  
  • Remove emotion from the equation.
  • Sell. Don't hold. Don't be greedy. 
  • Sell when the target is hit. Don't hold. 
  • I need a cut-loss strategy.
  • If I don't sell, I will have no capital to buy. 
  • I have a problem deciding whether to sell or hold. 
    • I should have held the stock that rose 100% times up. 
    • It's easy to buy them using a supertrend buy signal. 
    • 10% is my target but is there a way to tell it will rise higher?
    • Let's try this after hitting 10%...
      • If the price is above the next black pivot point, then hold.
      • If the price touches the next pivot point first resistance, then all the more hold.

Do Traders Make More Money Than Investors

Trading has come to a grinding halt. All my disposable capital is stuck in a market that is not moving up. I can't even buy anymore when they are down. I just have to sit and wait for the day COVID-19 vaccine is available.  That's when the market will shoot up. Now I know why traders cut losses. So I guess I am not a trader but an investor. A long term investor... 12-year investor to be exact. The financial crisis seems to come every 12 years.  I don't have much of 12 years left ahead of me. It's time to become a trader. So... Do Traders Make More Money Than Investors? Basically, both will make as much money. The trader makes the money faster, maybe in minutes, but more stressful. They buy to sell. They cut losses. The investor makes the money slower,  up to decades, but more relaxed. They buy to hold. They hold losses and hope.

If you're experienced at analyzing market data then you typically know how to anticipate the market and have an idea about what is due to be profitable.

How stock market software works is that it puts past trend data against real time market data. It makes use of mathematical algorithms which look at the factors which led to successful trends of the past, then apply it to current real time market data to identify similarities to further investigate because the market moves in cycles a

Exploring the Current Trends in the S&P500: Microsoft and Tesla Stand Out

I browsed through Finviz today and noticed that there are only two pages of S&P500 stocks with buy signals. This caught my attention because it means that most of the stocks in the index are performing well. However, I noticed that there are a couple of exceptions to this trend. First, there's Microsoft (MSFT). The stock is currently trading at $226 per share. It's definitely one to keep an eye on. [DONE] Then there's Tesla (TSLA). This stock is trading at $117 per share. It's definitely worth considering as a potential investment. Overall, it seems like the market is doing well, with only a few exceptions. As a rookie investor, it's always important to keep track of the trends and do your own research before making any decisions.  ~ The Rookie Trader Rookie Stock Trading Strategy - Jan 2023
