Personal Disclosure

Wow, I am out of words. We are still trading in the green zone after ten trading days, up by 70 points closing today at 3972. Before, everybody was expecting to meet a strong resistance at the previous high.

Foreign buyers are still on buying frenzy today so I decided to jump in too(while holding my breath)!

I bought GMAP earlier today at 7.90 but it closed lower at 7.75, netting 1.89% loss today. The reason I bought GMAP today is to satisfy my father's wish to buy it. Technically though, it looks really ugly in the short term in terms of candlesticks and my other technical indicators. The only indicator that's keeping me relaxed with my current position here is its volume. Increasing volume with ascending price movement. How bad can it go? 10-day moving average has also crossed above 200-day moving average confirming the uptrend. It broke out of its major resistance at 7.70 but it is still struggling to hold up so it still might correct in the immediate future but I am expecting it to hold above the gap up before at 7.48.

I also bought MEG at the end of session at 2.31, which I should have bought earlier. I have no recent analysis for MEG here in my new entries but I have been monitoring and analyzing it while I was holding DMC before. Breaking my personal three-year resistance at 2.15 today with exceptional volume is the reason why I bought MEG. It also made a gap up at 2.15 from 2.13 which should have been enough to merit a buy earlier. It should also provide a strong support once it corrects. I am looking at 2.56 as a possible target in the short term.

Another stock I have been monitoring closely is MPI. It's now about to break out from its ten-year(weekly) down trend at 3.90. If it makes a convincing breakout at 3.90, I am expecting it to close its previous gap down with immediate resistance at 4.40. The probability of breaking out is relatively high because of the multiple moving average crossover.

Keeping a tight trailing stop in the current bull run is probably a mistake that I put up in my trading system. Maybe I should loosen up my trailing stops now?

Tight trailing stops would probably work best in a trending mode with normal pacing.

I still haven't figured out how to trade this crazy market!

Day 1, second month of my trading system.

Trading plan: Sit tight!
