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


What did I learn?
  • 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.
