How's my purchasing power today?

  • None

Any tips from TraderTV Live?

How to track medical biotech stocks, meme stocks, and penny stocks... As well as any popping stock?
  • New strategy using Moomoo.    
  • Started on 7 June 2021. 
  • Scan Trade Heat list to look for 3 signals.
  • 1st signal - Buy on KDJ Golden Crossing
  • 2nd signal - Confirm uptrend with SAR and MA. 
  • 3rd signal - Double confirm with Oversold Analyses. 
  • Complement with Bollinger Band Breakout strategy. 
  • Sell on opposite signals. 
What happened?
  • See above
What worked? Why?
  • Cutting loss before it hits -$100. Why? More capital to buy rising stocks. 
What did not work? Why?
  • Stocks selected are rising too slow. Why? Bought mostly big established stocks like AAPL and VISA.
What did you learn? 

  • What is the Japanese Candlestick Doji Pattern?
  • A Doji occurs when the opening and closing price is the same (or close to it). Many traders think that this candlestick pattern is one of the best ones to trade...
  • ... a Doji is only significant after an extended move to the upside (for a short setup) or an extended move to the downside (for a long setup). Also, the Doji should be at a support or resistance area.
  • Reference: https://www.swing-trade-stocks.com/doji-candlestick-pattern.html
  • Maybe I should go back to look at Yahoo Finance charts. 
What can be done better? 
What will stop you?
How to overcome the challenges?

Until tomorrow.

PS: I would like to thank the following...
Buy Crypto? Binance SG.

Footnote to self:
  • Buy Market price when I see a signal. Don't buy at a Limit price. 
  • Buy on dip from late April to early May 2021.
  • Sell in May and go away. Reinvest in November.
  • August is a particularly strong month, September is an especially bad month for stocks.
  • 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.
  • Queue GTD for every buys and sells. 
  • 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. 
  • Sell immediately if price spikes on news.
  • 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. 
  • Locking the profits at hand is better than risking the opposite direction.
  • How to recover from stock market losses? How to recover my money lost? How to win my trading losses back? 
  • The best way to recover after losing money in the stock market is to invest again.

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...

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...
