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

PS: What did I learn today?

What did I learn previously?
  • Supertrend strategy doesn't work after an uptrend. 
  • New strategy. Fibonacci Pivot Point Resistance and Support.
  • Queue GTD for every buys and sell. 
  • 10% strategy is not efficient. 5% profit is faster to reach. Hence Change to >$100 target strategy instead. 
  • Buy quickly once I identify a stock to buy.
  • Missed SEAC spike 3 times within a week. Dropped to negative immediately after the spike. Lesson - Queue up to sell using GTD. 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 the closing hour. 
  • Sell immediately if price spikes on news.
  • Missed the NFT STOCKS!!!!! Pay attention next time follow the trend.
  • Follow most-watched stocks on yahoo finance coz they are more volatile. 
  • 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. 
  • Stop thinking that I should have held the stock that rose 100% times up after selling. Remember SEAC. Locking the profits at hand is better than risking the opposite direction.

Aug 2023 BRO ACE Stock Trading Strategy

It's 3 August 2023... the Rookie Trader discovered a flaw in the BRO ACE buy strategy. When "A" triggers the buy signal, the Target may not be coming but may have just passed. Mistake done in AMD purchase.  So the new rule is: never buy if Target has been reached in the last 3 months.   ======== ROOKIE STOCK MARKET STRATEGY DAILY CHECKLIST Identify stock holdings to SELL.  Use BRO (Moomoo) and ACE (Yahoo Finance). All 3 must meet the criteria... BOL (20, C,2). Above Upper Band (sell).  RSI (7). Cross above 70 (sell). OBV. Reach a 3-month high (sell).  A. Average Analyst Price Target is equal to or less than price (otherwise let the profits run).  Remember... Never expect the price to return to its previous high. Sell on signal even if it's a loss (capital cashflow is better than stuck or falling losses) Identify stocks to BUY Buy only S&P500 stocks... for stability and dividends. Use the Moomoo stock screener to screen SP500 stocks with a daily Bol...

Image via Wikipedia Investing in the market obviously carries a degree of risk for anyone who chooses to invest in it, there's no question about that.
