Forex Positions Closed. Stops Triggered. Will Value Invest Once Signals Returns Again.
Posted by admin in Comments and Feedback, Commodities, Events and Advertisements, Forex Analysis, Futures Pick, Kelvin's True Life Trading Stories, Market AnalysisGood Morning My Readers,
By late evening, I know that our AUD and CHF position will be good as I see the Asian markets tumbling like rocks off the cliff as HK lost more than 3.7% while Singapore 90pts! (http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific_business/view/1157205/1/.html)
And indeed, by 1030pm, AUD hits below 0.9400 and CHF hits 0.9260!Although my target for CHF was 0.9400 level too but I think this run is enough thus, I gave the advice to my friends who were online with me, on SKYPE and WhatsApps and they closed ALL their position diligently and were happy as compared to the day time.
Of course, during the day, we booked some profit on HK and SIMSCI as it surged up in the first 60mins but end of the day, we gave back the winnings as the markets slumped. This clearly shows the market is still very bearish in sentiment and with Rumours of Morgan Stanley having the chance of being Lehman Brothers the 2nd… that hits the market hard and fast.
During Lunch yesterday, someone asked me this question:
“Kel, honestly and bluntly, where you think HK will hit first before it can rebound?”“Bro, honestly, HK may have to hit this level….. 16050 area before we can see a Rebound as that’s the 61.8% Retracement level between 2008 Low and 2010 High. With the current level of 16500s…. I am afraid that we may see more bloodbath in the afternoon…. but should the market goes there, I will be interested to look at it again.” I replied…
True enough, the market really took the selling and we saw stops after stops were triggered and HK Future hit a low of 16139 before a recovery towards the end and closed at 16257.
From the above, you can see that I am very honest with calls and our winnings and losses. I am no GOD nor the perfect trader… I do have times that my calls go off tangent but if anyone is ask me what’s the sentiment of the market now…. I can summarize it in 3 sentences…
“If you are Bearish, you will stay Bearish….
If you were Bullish but turned Bearish… its perfectly normal and understandable….
If you are still Bullish then you wait for the right signal to enter again….”
For me, I am in the Category 3…. I am still BULLISH… although I know many have turned Bear after these few days of raid by the Bears…. I am not stubborn but I have weathered such storms many times and I know the repercussion and changes of camps of people during this period… the nearest example is March 2011, the Japan Earthquake or tab further will be 2009 Dow’s bottoming out in March.
Buy LOW, Sell High; is the Holy Grail for Trading and Investing but to buy at Low, is the definitely at the worst of time whereby everyone is selling… it will be tough and very mental challenging… and most important, you may incur losses after losses shall you choose to cut at important/technical level which you think is proper Money Management which I do agree to a certain extent especially one’s pocket is not deep enough.
That’s why before I gave my advice to my friends who decided to short AUD and Long CHF on my advice, I told them that if this trade do come out good.. they will see a fall in their stocks portfolio… there will be 3 possible thing they can do….
1. AUD/CHF Trade goes well but Stocks fall and they will get upset…
2. Take AUD/CHF Trade and also short stocks but if opposite happens, double Wammy….
3. Take AUD/CHF Trade and ride it down and use the profit to buy stocks at a cheaper price!
People who know me well will understand what I am doing and they know that there is no perfect trade… so they took up the AUD/CHF trade and bought little stocks during this period… and although they saw their stock portfolio coming off.. they know that their Currency Trade is good enough to give them the extra bullets to buy into VALUE stocks later.
I believe Warren Buffet sees the same thing…
With the Dow doing a strong recovery towards the last 45mins, tells alot of the Boys are accumulating at the bottoms while instigating selling at the top. BUT in a Bearish sentiment market, any upside will not last therefore I am not surprised to see SELLING in the first 60mins of the market today.
But if the market can hold the forte and stay above their Opening Price by more than 1% by the end of today, it will be good sign… if not, traders or investors… just do take note that we will need more time to see an upside in the market.
Remember, doing VALUE investing is good BUT Risk and Money Management is more important, don’t it affect your life and family… if you are not sleeping soundly then you know you have over traded… bring it down to a comfort zone and get your life back!
Have a great day ahead!
