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? 
  • No trading on Monday, July 5, 2021 (July 4 Independence Day holiday observed)
What can be done better? 
What will stop you?
How to overcome the challenges?

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.
