Chart Eye: Sesdaq daily trend : ended 16-June-2006

by Gav 6 Comments

So we have seen a strong rally last Friday. It was expected to hear some voices in forums discussing ‘Bull is back to action’. Well, I have decided again to do some analysis on the trend. And this time, I want do something interesting.
Firstly, I am looking at daily trend of UOB Sesdaq index. Last week’s rally put a pause to the heavy selling. Short term moving averages are ticking up. However, it is still far below long term moving averages. And there is, in fact, nothing much in term of trend change. Downtrend is still intact.
From Directional analysis, negative sentiment is still hanging in the air, though it was ticking down at the end of last week, I do not see positive sentiment gaining strength.
(Click on the chart to maximize it)


If it is a little bit tough for trader to accept establishment of downtrend (Since, most of traders only recognize Bullish pattern), I have inverted the daily trend of UOB Sesdaq. The inverted trend indeed showing me a ‘BUY’ opportunity (in reality, a SELL, remember, this is a inverted chart) if I were to do trend trading.

In fact, I am not impressed by the rally. Maybe, at least for now. My strategy will be sell on strength instead. The rally in some way, provides a chance to let go current holding of small cap.

There was a second entry opportunity to Long SIMSCI. Due to some personal commitment , I gave up the trading opportunity. Anyway, second entry was at 283.9 with potential exit at 284.8.

It was a strong day for SG market, which in turn provides SIMSCI day trading profit oppportunities.

I closed the day and the week in positive note again. Total gain for the week is +2.8 points.

I have closed Long position at 283.1. After watching price action at the area of day high (283.4), uptrend seemed to be getting weaker. This does not mean a reversal is kicking in, it just prompts me for profit taking. Notice about DI+, similar weakness was observed as well. To confirm this decision, I turned to 9-min chart.

A failure swing RSI was forming. This is the ugliest scene to me when holding Long position. Similiar situation was found in directional indicator as well. These conditions gave me a strong support to close my profitable Long position.

I might be wrong which might miss out bigger profit in the afternoon session. However, day trading is all about discipline and timing, I do not act on expectation. In fact, at 1130pm, my position was already in-the-money. Not so bad for 2-hour trading, a positive Friday with +1.2 gain.

SIMSCI 16-June-2006: Potential Long

Another three digit gain for DJ again. Positive opening of Nikkei , SIMSCI as well as Hang Seng is just expected. In the first hour of trading, SIMSCI, in fact, drifting down from open price. With both Nikkei and Hang Seng stays more than +300 points gain, I am looking for opportunity to establish Long position in the weakness of SIMSCI movement.

Swing Trade for 16-June-2006: No candidate

by Gav Leave a Comment

Given yesterday’s positive closing of STI and recent rally of U.S indices, I did a scan on my stock list for potential swing trade candidate. Few china counters appeared in rally with volume scan. However, none of them passed the directional and trend test for the time being and most of them are actually trading below 150 and 200 day moving average.

I would prefer to stay away from stocks market today and wait for more confirmations about this rally (or maybe , just a relief rally).
