200705228 1715. FKLI futures 15 min chart. The gap closing trade would have been only good for locals. Looking at this chart would stop traders going long for today's trade, no wonder the gap is not closed today.

20090515 1450. FKLI futures gap closing trade completes as the H1N1 in Malaysia news provides the impetus...

Phillip Futures Sdn Bhd Internet trading of FKLI/FCPO futures

From the grapevine, heard that Phillip Futures Malaysia will launch their online trading via DMA of the FKLI/FCPO futures next Monday 18 May 2009. Should be via their POEMS or POEMS Pro platform, where overseas futures orders can be routed too. No webpage, apart from their website:www.poems.com.my.

Seems they have information somewhere on this site. When I mention to traders of this type of DMA trading, the first response is: "What is the commission rate?"


20090515 1010. 2 min chart snapshot taken at 0950 am. Given the view of 'weakness' for the KLCI, we'd expect the FKLI futures to fill the opening gap today.

The 10 year cycle


FKLI futures daily chart, the indicators turn up again....

How does one make big money in stocks? Looking back at our post in October 2009, with hindsight, one can be holding on to stocks and riding high. But many people like to trade when the stock market is 'hot', as in the current state of the market. I was told by my friend that the 'lemmings are jumping in', with many people who don't touch or look at stocks are now clamouring and opening account to be 'stock trader'. Then they get the excitement to trade the hot stocks, until....

Chart above is the FTSE Bursamalaysia Small Cap index, the small caps in focus now.

20090502 Daily, weekly and monthly FKLI futures chart. Monthly stochastics has crossed up, a warning that the macd MIGHT turn and cross up. Weekly FKLI is bullish. Daily stoch crosses down and macd about to cross down (or has done). Longer term path of least resistance is UP.(weekly and monthly), so dialy sell signals provide opportunity for position traders to take longer term positions long. Dunno if this analysis is correct, but time will tell.... For me, I am a scalper and intraday trader, so maybe it doesn't matter much in terms of FKLI futures, but hey if I were to hold any stock positions they should be longs for longer term players.
