SPCE trading
engulfing pattern, at a significant level
but left out 1 criteria. it is not an uptrend. the 200 SMA is not sloping upwards.
So I must always take note of the 3 criterias
uptrend
at significant level
bullish pattern
Change of Candlestick
Decided to focus on 15mins after trying 5 min charts for a few days
for 15 mins chart, the moving average seems to be respected more

learnings from tesla trade
I bought only 2 stocks
and the qty place is not well calculated
the simple calculation will be to roughly see where is your stop loss
and where you will sell
then decide how many lots you want to buy
for example, the stop will be $2 away
I want to place $20 bet, it should be 10 stocks.
also, the bullish signal appear and you enter the trade
if there is no burst of energy upwards
no point staying in the trade
the purpose of the bullish signal is to hint that there may be a rush of buyers in
if it still go side ways, then exit
Tesla trade

First Trade

3000 FCT
Bought more FCT today
Many are feeling negative due to the high infection covid numbers
around 180 today
price dropped to around 2.39
still an opportunity to buy
dividend @ 0.12 is around 5%
also thought to myself
if you are a land lord, you want some where that is high traffic and energy
the highest energy is retail, as compared to residential, commercial or industrial
in terms of leverage, I think I am still ok
around $4k buffer in IG account
and I have some cash saved up, will not deploy to pay back the debt from share financing
the longer I delay, the bigger my portfolio will grow during this time of slight discount
previously I calculated after ascenda purchase, the AUM for Singapore shares is around 275k
so after purchasing 5k units of FCT during these 2 days, at around 2.4
total is now around 287k
and also lian beng might not be able to buy back my shares
so 287k is pretty good, considering I am aiming for 300k

10 Tesla
Bought 10 Teslas and closed them today
loss of around $US60
Lesson is to always chk the available funds
whether it is enough to sustain attacks on the IG account
Interesting thing is that the way I closed it
I sold the 10 shares from a winning trade I place previously
So the profit went into my funds, rather than PNL
So hopefully if ever IG goes bankrupt, the money in Funds is protected.
Closed BABA
Closed BABA, as my defense getting thin again.
Just bought another 10 Tesla, but might sell it soon.
Available funds in IG account is around $4.5k now.
In other words, that is the amount of buffer that will prevent adding of more funds.
Before selling BABA, it was around $2.8k.
Also, BABA seems to not be very liquid.
If I am to do short term trading, maybe I should do it with more volatile stocks.
Then, maybe not again.
But now, it is important to have more buffer.
It is also better for my target of holding $300k dividend shares.
If my IG account crash, I may need to liquidate some of my Singapore holdings.
Profit from BABA trade : S$150

Another 20 BABA
Bought another 20 BABA @ 204.8
Was more bullish after researching over the weekend
Their PS ratio was 5.1
Tencent was around 9
Their growth rate before pandemic was around 20%
Google growth is around 10%
And China still has great potential to grow
Also did some stress test
the next support is at 150
If it goes there, the loss is 30x50=1500 USD
which is manageable
was thinking whether to own a total of 50 shares
but loss will be 2500 USD, which is around S$3500, which is less enticing.

Start short term trading again
I will start short term trading again.
With BABA first, after Adam Khoo has been saying it is under valued, and people are fearful about Chinese stocks.
Will keep a log on this trading journey.
This time I may have a different mind set.
Which is similar to Tan Kin Lian.
The trading positions are quite small relative to the funds.
I have a rough idea how much it can crash, and how much money I can afford to lose.
And roughly how much I can earn from the trade.
current price is 200, and if it can go near 300, then my profit is around $1k.
Not much, but if I keep a log, it may add up to something significant on the long run.
And this stock, if it crashes badly, there will be many more people that are going to get hurt badly.
I do not want the waste the opportunity of buying something that is currently under valued.
Another good thing about having is log is so that I know what are the stocks I want to hold for long term.
