RE: SIMSCI 05-June-2006 : Potential Short: Trade closed

Trailing stop was moved to break even point when low of 284.6 is achieved. I was tempted to take profit, however, I decided to have a perfect execution of my plan without any emotional factor. Holding on the position with nearly 0 risk involved. I would admit that, it is tough to resist temptation of profit taking. However, treat this as a challege, to resist temptation is fun. This is part of enjoyment when trading the market. I enjoy the fun of market challege. By 350pm, my position is in-the-money. I have moved my trailing stop to 285.2.

Trade was closed at 355pm with exit at 285 after seeing a positive divergence of RSI in 9-min chart and a trend line break of RSI oversold zone in 12-min chart. Again, I might be missing bigger profit, in fact I was missing out bigger profit in this trade! However, the objective here is to capture the movement caused by market sentiment and profit from it. That is my trading. Gain +0.6. Tiny but sweet.

I have put myself into the challege. I have set a target of 26 points gain in SIMSCI trading at the end of this month. I hope this is not unreasonable. I am not interested in competing, this is the fun of challenging myself.

Sell order was executed at 285.6 immediately after market reopen for afternoon session. However, selling force was not strong. It was hanging in the air with small flunctuation. U.S futures are in negative territory now. Watch out for Nikkei futures reopen at 330pm.

With negative biased sentiment. I am looking for price setup for possible short sell opportunity for intraday SIMSCI.
Market seems to be very quiet at this point of time.

This is 12-min chart of SIMSCI.
It is indeed a good day. After Short setup failed to form, I observed a Long opportunity. Long position was established at 284.6. Initial target was 287. To be frank, I thought the target was too far away. I was obviously wrong. Target was exceeded. Trade was closed at 288.1. As target was achieved, I turned to 9-min chart to follow the fast move. Failure swing was found in overbought zone. This gives a strong signal for me to take profit. Market might continue moving up, however, the objective here is to captured the intraday sentiment and profit from it. Gain +3.5

In the morning, I was caught in a prejudiced situation to insist of short opportunity. It did not take me long to decide twisting my mentality to accept the reversal of trend. Trade with the fact, instead of personal opinion is proven to be profitable in this case.

I was waiting for a descending triangle to be formed in order to setup my short position. However, trend reversed. Descending triangle formation was failed, and downtrend line was broken upward. Higher lows formed a uptrend line. A swing trade setup is completed. I am now looking at Long position at 284.6.

The market is not as good as the crowd were expected. With Nikkei moved from positive to negative and Hang open flat, I am in fact not expecting a rally in SG market. Sentiment in the first hour of trading is flat with negative biased. I am looking at possible Short side instead.
