Rookie Swing Trader Journal 9 July 2021
Why did I skip yesterday's journal? I needed to sleep early to make up for the late night.
I noticed everything went red.
How's my purchasing power today?
- I can buy 2 stocks using Moomoo.
What stocks to buy today from my Moomoo watchlist?
- None
- I give up on Moomoo indicators. Let's go back to yahoo finance pring kst and related stocks.
- Combine both.
Any stocks to add to the watch list from the Moomoo Heat List and Market Opportunity KDJ Golden Crossing, Bollinger Band Breakout, Old Duck Head, Yahoo Finance movers related stocks?
- Put on hold. Just do YF indicators.
Any tips from TraderTV Live?
- Costco
Which stock in hand can I sell?
- 12 stuck stocks at FSMone. See Yahoo Finance.
- VISA. Bought $233.27. Target $256 or cut at KDJ dead fork.
- LUV (mm kdj rsi). Bought $53.
- AAL (mm kdj rsi). Bought $21.30.
- AAPL. Bought $125. Target (high) $145.
- GNUS (yf bbl sto). Buy at 1.65. Done. Target $1.82.
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?
- Joined Moomoo Paper trading competition. Ends 30 Jul 2021. Win BB stock.
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?
- Yahoo Finance mover-related stocks still work to identify buying opportunities.
- Pring kst and Stochastics
What can be done better?
- Criteria for finding swing stocks to buy...
- RSI <30 oversold
- Uptrend
- High volume
- 5 days down pattern
- Japanese candlestick Doji pattern
What will stop you?
How to overcome the challenges?
Until tomorrow.

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 losing 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.
