Leave emotion out of trading

20100930 1851 Cable 4 hour chart uptrend continues.... And just think back to a couple of weeks ago when dailyfx expert were calling for sell on rallies at 1.5650-1.5700...

Follow the cable story...

I have seen a lot in my years of trading. A trader may be experienced, but yet still make all the rookie errors:

make rude gestures with his fingers at the trading screen when prices turn against his position
Swearing at the imaginary manipulator who took his/her money, basically the original entry and setup was clouded by emotion and wrong anyway, but these traders think they are alays 'right'. Basically the trader is saying "my analysis and view is always right, but 'they' cause me to be wrong', basically not liesening to the market.

One would live life better and have no high blood pressure by not making these rookie mistakes.

20100930 Sime Darby Bhd, daily chart breaks out of trendline and 200 sma resistance.... will it start trending. Note the triple bottom area where 99% of lay men and even professional fund managers we exiting the stock en masse based on the purported losses from the oil and gas division, which is only a part of the company. Their natural human tendencies were to 'sell at any price' due to their fear.

As Gordon Gecko says "Bears get fed, bulls get fed but pigs get slaughtered' on Wall Street.

20100929 Some 30 min charts of selected stellar stocks.

UEMLand is a standout. I remember in March 2009, a trader friend insisted that this was the stock to be in for the next bull market. We had the same opinion on the bullish stock market to come. Hence he bought a large position in the stock, I think at just below RM1.00. Along the way up he would sell at various levels eg 1.20 1.40 1.60 1.80 but as the price get higher he would buy back the positions he sold at higher prices, until eventually the position became zero in a catastrophic panic sell at around 1.60.... This is an example that parralel's Jesse Livermore's situation, Livermore learnt from his mistake and how he failed to see the wood for the trees... If one is bullish on the stockmarket, it is best to hold and be the sitting bull for the long haul. But remember the value investing principles "Buy when people are fearful and sell when they are greedy" "when you buy a stock, expect it to either go up 50% or drop 33%"

SEMINAR? Only if there is demand. 2nd, 3rd Oct.

20100925 From Yahoo Finance, Stocks reignite gains as economic woes fade.

Some comments:

"Zahid Siddique, an associate portfolio manager at Gabelli Equity Trust Inc., said traders are only reacting to the latest news because there still isn't certainty about the pace of recovery.

"Based on the daily data they get, they move the market one way or another," Siddique said.?

I just wonder sometimes how the experts make these types of comments. Look at the attached 4 hour chart of the NDX (Nasdaq 100 index), it is clearly in an uptrend, rather than investors reacting day to day economic news....
