When to take partial profits?

If you have bought in June 2025, you have already made good profits. But when

to take some profits along the way. 

For me, when there is a spike up of price and making new high, I would take 

some profits or when price, 20MA and 200MA are far apart, this may also 

alert me to take some profits and wait for the price to retrace to the support 

level and evaluate if I should add more lots again. Continue to milk

the uptrend till the stock shows sign of weakness and high probability that it will 

start to decline into start sideway consolidation (Stage3) or even stage 4 

declining downward trend.

Happy Profitable Trading 2025!

How to know if new uptrend is forming with high probability of more upsides to come?

 


a) Observe when 20SMA is moving closer to 200SMA with both MAs are trending 
     up slowly.
b) Watch for price to trade below 20SMA as both MAs are meeting.
c) When both MAs are nearby, witness that the price starts to move up 
     the 20SMA and moves higher with volume. 
d) When price retracts back to the 20SMA and starts to rebounce up. This is 
     the time to take a trade on the Long side.

High Probability Trade Setup with Smart Indicators to Consistently Triggered Low Risk Buy and Milk the Trend as its goes Higher Up.

 


Trade Setup:

1) Enter a trade with Position Sizer to limit the Risk Dollar to take initially.
e.g. 1% of $50K capital, Risk dollar $500 for this trade.

2) Let the market does its job by moving price away from break even level and 
     subsequently moves higher and wait for retracement back to 20MA to ADD
     MORE LOTS on the way up.

3)  Every time when there is a sharp spike where price moves up to a level with
     huge price bar and looking to the left side of the chart, there is no known
     resistance, Smart Indicator showing 80 level, Sell some lots (e.g 50%)
     and leaving the rest to test if the price continues to head higher up to reap
     more gains and sell about another 30% of inventory.

4) Wait for the next retracement again along the uptrend, to add more lots to the
     remaining 20% residue lots from point 3. Keep on milking the uptrend until
     the stock reaches 75% or higher (refer to the 2nd diagram, 20MA starts to
     flatten and turning down south towards 200MA).
5) Liquidate all the holdings. Be happy that you have fully Milked this stock and
    Repeat scan for next stock and repeat the process from point 1 to 5 again. 

   Focus on precise trade execution, not counting Money during the trade.

   Money will find you when you are well prepared and earned the Rights to
   recieve the rewards

  Lastly, don't give up your job. Continue to create multiple streams of
  income is the ultimate goal.  

  This is how I plan my Swing Trades.

Trading Tools that I created over the years.

 Trade with my Samsung Phone when on the move and when no access to laptop.

  1)


 
Over the years, I have created mutliple tools that help me to trade Crypto Token,
Stocks when I am on the move or no access to laptop.
 
Create a simple tool using Excel worksheet above to perform position sizing
for each trade and attached to worksheet to the mobile phone "Home Screen"
as shortcut.


2)


To calculate the profit and loss, I have created a HTML version of the calculator
which also attached to the mobile phone "Home Screen" as shortcut. 
With above tools, I can check if I should take a particular trade by estimating the bny,
sell and cut loss price. If the Risk to Reward Ration is not favorable, no trade
will be taken. 
 
Repeat scan the market again and wait for next opportunity to come.
No rush, be patience.

How I grow my Spare CPF OA Monies over the year with approved fund platform?

 


Started  investing with CPF OA spare monies in Jan 2021, subsequently setup

a recurring buy with $1000 every month using Dollar Cost Averaging method

until today.  The Journey is long but no brainer way to make money. 

The only thing that I did over the year was to look at the S&P500 Index and

drew the trend channel so that as long as the Index is fluctuating within the uptrend 

channel, it should be making more profits for me.

As I have projected that S&P500 will be enttering a down cycle after 6000 - 6100
level, I will start to liquidate my postion, re-evaluate the next investment opportunity.

https://chartfreely-us.blogspot.com/2024/10/s-daily-chart-analysis-dated-101024.html

 In conclusion, if you know how to read the charts well, understand different market 

cycle and the strategies to take advantage of the evolving trends. Profitable trading 

or investment is not a coindence or guesswork.

Besides, I am also actively using CPF OA monies to trade SGX stocks. Most of the 

time, I will swing trade a few counters, add more positions (average up) into the

counter if it continues its uptrend  move till near sell-off tops before I exit with

good profits. 

Some of the trades that I had updated in the blog.

The happiest thing is that my elder daughter has started to learn how to read charts,

and to take advantage of trading skills to make withdrawals in the Crypto Market.

There are abundant of opportunities to be made in the Crypto Arena including Meme

Coin, AI Token & etcs.

Everyday, there are so many opportunities presented infront of you to attract you

by giving them more attention and more love (to put monies on them) and let

them show you their loyalty to pay you off in the future if you believe in them.

Financial Trading Skills is a learnable skillset. IT WILL BENEFIT YOU FOR LIFE.


Happy Profitable Year 2024.

What is the preferred amount for Swing Trade and allow room for learning from mistakes?

 


 
In my opinion, a good enough amount of startup capital is good for learning
how to trade along the way, allow one to make some mistakes and learn from it.

Too small an account is easily wipe out in one or two trades and may not give a 
trader the sufficient amount of time to learn from trials and errors to discover 
own trading behavior and habits.
 
If you just started to trade and started to make some profits as a Novice,
you are being lucky in the bull market phase.
 
A trader will be challenged during the bear market phase and if you can still
can stay profitable and calm. Different market condition requires different trading 
strategy has to change to tailor to the market condition.
 
Learning how to add more lots along an uptrending stage 2, will definitely allow
you to reap most profits for a stock, crypto & etc.
 
e.g. of below trade taken in the past.

My Trading Journal for life!

 My Trading Journal used to be real-time tracking of profits and Loss using Excel RTD function in 2010.

After Yahoo Finance stopped providing real-time stock data, I had to manually
update the stock price inorder to know if the stock is currently making money
or losing.

After some thought, decided to do manually input for buy, sell and cutloss level.
Redo the formulae to reflect the changes to the clearing fees, GST over the years. 

Revised Journal has been using for more than a decade to keep track of trade
performance without fail.

Below is an sample entries on how I would keep track of each transaction over
the time.


(click image to enlarge)

A good trading journal allows you to review why you done right or wrong on certain
trades.
Rewind back to the point in time on chart, plot the "buy" and "Sell" order on the past
historical chart, allow me to review past good trades or bad trades taken and what need
to be done for future trades.

How I prepare to take a trade a Stock each time?

 

Chart taken from: 10.10.24 - sold iFast at top channel.   (to enlarge chart picture, click on it)

Above is an actual small trade setup for IFAST Stock to perform Risks to Rewards analysis before
 I press the button to
buy or sell.

1) Enter the following information into the Profit & Loss Calculator

a) No. of shares ; taken from the Position Sizer
b) Buy Price ; Entry Price
c) Cut Price ; Stop Price (below recent support level)
d) Target Price: (Near term resistance level)


2) Once this is done, you will know the following


A) Risk to Reward Ratio ; whether a trade should be taken or walked away
B) Break Even Level ; when the trade will become profitable.
C) Potential Profit & Loss Amount


With a customized risk calculator that I have programmed many years back, assisted me to determine 
if the risk is worth to take or just let it go instead.


What make a good trader is nothing more than the tools he uses to trade the market. With simple
tool like this calculator, once can easily walk away from lousy deal, instead look for another stock
that presents better returns although there is no guarantee to win in trading. But we close the gap
up to make a good trade.

As you can see in this calculator, I have the cutloss level just beside the target level (near term resistance)
where I make this the 1st priority in any trading. Always determine where will be the cutloss, so that
you can easily obtain the risk and reward ratio at the end of the calculator. With this estimation of
the risk that you have to take in order to receive the rewards, you can easily make a quick decision whether to 
take the trade or just leave it along.


Many times, when we found a stock that is trading with excessive volume and has been trading higher for past
 few days, we may have the urge to jump into the stock without analyzing chart on the possibly near
term resistance
or support. With this risk calculator, you can easily enter the buy price (support level) and
sell price (near term resistance level) and cutloss (below recent support level). Once you have all these data key in,
you can check the risk to reward ratio if it is still a good trade.

Never rush to buy a stock that has been in the top volume for days. Nothing is free as this could
be a trap setup by the professionals to trick the herd to go long so that the professionals can
transfer their holdings
to the weaker buyers. Once the transferring is done, the stock will
continue to move higher for the next few days but without volume to support this upmove,
so the stock start to tumble down like a stack of cards.

Dont be greedy, just be patience in trading. Always buy at channel base where the stock is quiet and unnoticed
by majority where there is sign of accummulation from the professionals. Such indicators in my system to
determine this strength is as follow:


Test Base - professionals are probing the base, if the next bar shows successful test, the price will go higher

Reduced Selling Pressure - after a big sell off, market starts to cool off slowly and move sideway, reduced
elling pressure is witnessed as any selling has been absorbed by the professionals so that they can stage an
upmove in the near future when the catalyst for a bullrun is present.

No Supply - selling has reduced significant and if there is no selling, stock will move sideway or uptrend.

Markup - price is marked up to trick shortists to cover their shorts, usually a "V" up move.
Demand coming in - professionals are coming in to buy  up with average to high transaction volume.
Bottom reversal - price reversal from bottom, forcing shortists to worry and cover shorts
Climatic action - heavy transaction volume at the lowest low but close higher near the day high, the professionals
are finding worth in the stock and decide to absorb all selling and push price higher instead.

Happy Profitable Trading!

 Simple strategy to spot multiple stocks that exhibit the same trending patterns. 

1) Monitor the watchlist and wait for the opportunity to present itself to you.

2) Decisively take the trade and wait for the outcome.
