It’s another day and currently the third trading day for me after holiday. Still got a lot catching up to do. The portfolio return also fluctuate a lot since I’m not disciplined to take profits. The overall return touched almost as high as 75%+ today but I have to settle for something around 68%.
And I [...]

The presentation for my final paper will be commenced next Monday and hopefully by the end of April I already have my final presentation on the paper (I should present it twice — the method first and then the results of that method). All is nice and according to plan (unless, of course, something blew [...]

After tinkering a little bit longer on my untested and (I think) unreliable (yet) neural network, I’m predicting that GOOG’s high on Monday should be between $446-$466 (okay, my +- is actually 5% so the actual range should be between $446-$493, GOOG doesn’t churn out enough data to crunch just yet). I’ll update when the [...]

I’m currently on my personal quest on finding the right setup for my next trades. My previous setup only give me abysmall return if any and hence, I’m pushed over the top to find ‘the holy grail’. Well okay, there’s no such thing as holy grail since the market is always changing and dynamic, but [...]

Okay, my last week netting on PGAS doesn’t turn out quite well. In the end I lost quite alot of money (at least in my standard, I didn’t trade with a large sums of money). You can view why I entered the market last week on this post.
In this post, I’m going to show you [...]

I have to say that today’s global rally is mostly caused by Bernake’s statement that The Fed rate hike is closing to an end. Yesterday’s closing for Dow is almost plus 200 points, and for the rest of Asia? You can read it for your self.

A weird thing about Nikkei is that now they already [...]

Okay, I was wrong. Bernake, the chief of America’s Federal Reserve, announced that the interest rate will only increase by 25 basis point, lower than the expected hike which is 50 basis point. This gives a clear signal to the market that things might going good. To add to that, he also delayed the interest [...]

When I first studied how to analyse stock, I was told to see everything with helicopter view. Going from top to bottom. From the big pictures to the details. That advise seems to be working all the time (at least for me). I was once read a line from a great trader that goes like [...]

For the fourth time this month I’m netting on my position. But unlike the rest three which I ended up profiting, this one ended up with break-even (it’s actually a loss if I calculate the brokerage fees). Today’s trade gave me an important concept of Indonesian market (or maybe even the whole financial market):

Never hold [...]

Bernake’s initial announcement mid-month sent a positive signal throughout the market. Although it’s still not-as-liquid due to the world cup fever, the market respond positively with Dow Jones seeing its minor uptrend and so does the rest of the Asia’s regional index (although in the mid-run, the whole market is still on sideway move especially [...]
