I'm still a bear

one last post for the moment. I'm still cautiously bearish. But it doesn't mean I won't long if I have a long signal come up. As a trader,we need to be flexible and nimble. Too confident is a danger in trading. That's all for now, I'll be back.

A Sweet YET Ugly Apple

I sold Apple(AAPL) exactly "just in time", which really lead me to crazy. Because Right after I closed out my call position which i bought a day ago, it soared! within less than 10second. i didn't realise it's actually forming a nice ascending triangle pattern.



In the late trading hours, I was able to re-entry a call position after it retraced back to its trendline support(around 125.25) and luckily caught a dollor profit when it soar again(peak at 126.75). I closed out the call before my bed time, and checked this morning it actually came down hard and I sold it at around the peak. Gee...! Damn lucky I still got profit out of it. It's just normal for the up and downs. Nothing unusual.

AAPL is a great candidate meant for Day- trading if anyone out there interested.

Everyone's Gone Bull

Look at the S&pP 500 chart, bears are at danger with the fully-controlled, mad bull attempting to break 880 line.

Oh...Lame

That's why my Olam was barbecued. I entered Olam at 1.73and was stop out within the day with 3 cents loss. it's ok. nvm.

I got two things which buzzed me. The good one is yesterday I longed DBS before Market close and it gapped up this morning on market open, em still holding it. But the bad things is I forgot to cancel my F&N stop loss and it was triggered this morning on mkt open--it's highest price till now, the stupid Marketmaker platform! wooo... I closed it out with a minor loss, overall i'm still profit but i just feel like a loser.

Well, it's normal, nothing unusual.

I'm going thru my charts now... there are plenty of shorting opportunities and I'll be full loaded. Last night already shorted SPY and RIMM.

Here I have a stock for singapore short candidates:

Olam with stop loss @1.76, chart yourself.
