THE MARKET TODAY -03/08/2015The market was very volatile today as expected and the overall performance of stocks were an indication of the general market trend. As previously said, 75% of stocks follow the general market trend. The index suffered a loss today and the DOW was down over 1% at a point closing now at apprx. 0.82% the SPY (S&P 500) also dropped .64% while the NASDAQ .50%. At one point today my portfolio was up 500 dollars but down 10 dollars at this time of writing. The fluctuation I believe was due to the pressure on the Grease market following the crash of their market today falling 30% when it opened. Personally my stocks were able to even out the big drop in the market today with FIT at 6.5% up at a point. FIT Based on my analysis last week, FIT hit a new high today and crossed my entry point. The stock is due to report this week (Wednesday) and it seems the market is gearing up for a good result so I will keep fingers crossed. See the graph today and compare it to Friday. Market Direction S&P 500 The Third graph shows the performance of S&P 500 up till today. As you can see we continue to trade in ranges highlighted by the support and resistance line. Eventually there would be a break out on either the up or the down side. Looking at the last candle yesterday, we could see a Hammer head, but the head was red and with a wick a little bit longer than the body ( positive sign). This tell us that the market sold off at a point during the day, but there was an eventual by back. If the head of the candle was green instead of Red, this would have shown a better investors sentiments ready for today. But the wick at the bottom of the candle showed there was a buy back. The reason for solid understanding of the Candle stick pattern, in the interpretation of the general market movement is that it enables you to see if it is your stock that is doing badly or its the general market. If you have bought stocks with good fundamental in the first place, and you can see that its action is in line with the market, just hold back as you have only defined and accepted your risk. There is no point worrying once the ship is off the shore, you will only be trading based on emotions. YOU HAVE TO COMPLETELY TAKE EMOTIONS OUT OF YOUR TRADE. YES IT IS DO ABLE USING GOOD MONEY MANAGEMENT STRATEGY AND RISK PROFILING. SKX Pic4 - shows the graph of SKX as of yesterday following the brilliant performance yesterday, I do expect a pull back in the price of the stock to Point 2 and worst case to Pt 1. If the stock moves to Pt 1, I will buy 20% more of my holding when it moved to point 2. If it does not pull back beyond Pt 2 then the uptrend is still very strong and anyone who had missed out of the initial buy to place an entry at price 152 dollars. Let us see how this plays out over the week, Have a happy trading week.

This is a follow up thread of my previous thread linked below US Stock Market, Even Playing Ground, Learn To Trade and Better Your Life https://www.nairaland.com/2460429/us-stock-market-even-playing/1 This thread is to teach anyone interested on how to trade the US market and earn better returns compared to keeping your money in the bank, onlyto be used by other fund managers. WhyThe "why" you are doing anything is more important than the "what". When you understand the “why”, then the “what” is not much of a question. • Improve our income by working for money, and making money work for us. • Positioning ourselves anywhere in the world and make foreign currency as if we were based abroad. • Spend more time with our family, being able to work from home or any location. • Know exactly what happens when you lose or make money, so that you know exactly what to do when opportunity knocks again. For me, the freedom outweighs all, am sure you can speak for yourself. HowThe "how" is the next step following the "why", these are followings things you need to start. • Computer system with reasonable internet speed. • The desire and will to learn. • Keep an open mind. • Do not be a pessimist, for every dollar you lose is a learning curve, and every dollar you make confirms your trading rules. Doctors spent years in the university to become qualified, so do not expect margic. The Rules• The Rules are as follows o Let your profit run o Cut all loses as soon as possible o Do not buy stocks going down in price (averaging down). o Listen to the general market ( 75% of the stocks follow the market direction) o Approx. 10,000 stocks are traded on the market, Buy the best of the best stocks, one with the following features Good Earning per share EPS. Stocks making good sales approx. 25% every quarter. Stocks with good return on Investments. ROE. Stocks with high profit margin. Stocks with increasing sales per Quarter and year. I will provide you with information on how to carry out technical analysis and suggest some of the stocks with these traits for you. Moving forward Classes will be organised online where you can log in and join a training session if you feel you need to broaden your knowledge on the specifics. Right now just keep an open mind and watch this space on weekly basis. I will post a topic at regular interval. If there are no questions I will assume all is fine and move onto another topic. Check my link on https://www.nairaland.com/2460429/us-stock-market-even-playing/1 These are my current positions – Join me, ask questions and we can all learn together. WHAT AM NOT• Proffessional trader • Millionaire on the market. Everything I have learnt, I have done on my own in the corner for my room and on the internet. Now I have an idea of what I talk about and await to translate it to money. By doing this, I will clearly define a logical trading strategy and sharpen my skills further. We are all in the learning train, see you in the next thread. 1 Like |

Technical AnalysisThis is an example of a very good easy non volatile stock that is easy to hold. Note, you might not get a very high price movement but your position could grow by 0.25% a day but not shaken out easily. To be honest you can see the daily and the weekly graph are quite similar, that tells you there is no noise in the trade. If you compare this to the daily graph on FIT ( the last graph) you will see the diff. FIT is very volatile, you must really know the behaviour of your stock in order to enter and set your stops at the correct exit point. Truth be told, once you place y our stops you are fine. The two red lines -115 STP and -115 Limit at the points i will exit the trade. STP is my stop loss point while Limit is my 20% take profit point. If for any reason during the day the stock venture to any of those points, there is no return, the trade is executed for profit or for " predefined" loss position. I will hold off for now, little comments during the week with less graphs as i have done this in advance, Ill post comments on our analysis as i move along. Any questions or suggestion welcome.

MARKET REVIEW – 01/08/2015August is a holiday season and we expect the market to be quiet, note “expect” as no one could say for sure. The general Market remains week although there was a good movement of the leading stocks on Friday, Hopefully this continues on Monday. POSITION REVIEW FOR THE MONTHMy current Positions are GPRO, FIT, SKX, EPAM. Note, I added to my Position on GPRO on Friday to even out my position in relation to the other stocks. You do not want to hold 10,000 dollars of one stock and 2,000 of the other, try and even them out. The changes in the value of your position should be due to price appreciation and not buying a lot of one and few of the other. POSITION OF INTREST AND WHY.FIT and EPAM – Announce earning report this week. FIT – This is a new issue, first earning after IPO is this week, looking at the graph, the stock is positioning itself for a move, the sell off so far has been on low volume, which means fund managers are holding on. Currently I hold 115 Units of the stock, as this is the first earning I have to be extremely vigilant, but I can see some positive movement after hours on Friday. Please see snapshot 2. There has been significant out of hours trading taking place on the up side. The line marked new high point indicate my expected entry point if the stock moves up this week after earning. I will add to my position if the stock does well after earning this week so fingers crossed.

MARKET BREAKDOWN – 31/08/2015The Market continues to trade in ranges sideways. Trust me, it is difficult to make money in this kind of market, so if you are not losing money you are doing well. As previously said, we are going into holiday season and this is expected. Also note that people will sell shares to take care of holiday and pay for school fees in September, so do not worry. Just pick best stock, set you stop and watch as we progress Pic 1 – Market on weekly basis showing sideways movement. Pic 2 – Market on daily basis, showing market trading in ranges and a possible head and shoulder. Pic 3 - My position at the End of the Month Pic 4 - Adjusted END of the month Position as Market had moved since my last update.

My positions are as follows EPAM SKX GPRO FIT EPAM and FIT will announce result this coming week so I need to pay attention. ConculssionAugust will be slow and you need to protect your positions and keep a watchful eye, Market Is lively to break out of the range in September, either up or down. Have a blessed week ahead.

YerYer:YeeYer, GPRO is a good stock to buy, reading from your mail you must have bought it on the 28th approximately a day before or after I bought mine. Ideally, we are not supposed to buy when a market is under pressure as it is now, but GPRO has a good stock and I have my conviction in it. I have set my stop loss at 57.57, this is 7% below my buy price. If the stock hit that price then It will sell automatically. If it does not, then we are in for a good ride because the fudamental is strong, the technical is good showing recovery and it has just declared a good result to confirm its fundamental. This is holiday season, market will be slow till September. if you cannot hold you will sell and let August ( the biggest holiday time pass) but i will suggest you hold and let the stock play it out. Stocks does not move in a straight line, determine your risk and profit before you take a trade and this will take emotions out of your trade. once you are in, and you know your worst case, just let the market play it out. |

Hi MADAM Said you are in your late 20s, I cannot but drop some line of words. I have a good understanding of how you feel as I lost my marriage in the same circumstance. Truth be told, its hard and I do feel for you, not sure what your husbands position is over here but things are not what they used to be. Now call him, sit him down and discuss the situation, let him know you cannot hold it for any longer ( but make sure you are telling the truth). Both define what is required and understand what it takes for him to move down. U both have a duty to play, once he his down he his in a strange land and cannot operate as it used to so you will both have cut down on things till you find ur ground. If you cannot hold it, call your parents and let them know, call his and discuss with them if they are alive. Make sure you make your case know and if you want to move on let it be known to everyone before you get yourself involved with another man. Your dignity matters a lot. 1 Like |

As promised Find below the status of the market for SKX today. Please note, this an exception, this movement is Due to the earning result today. This movement is contrary to the general market move and we are not supposed to be buying new stock now as the market is under pressure. I will not be supprised it the stock looses 5% of the move today. If it does, do not be alarmed, stocks are means to move up and down, but i promise you once the market gets back to confirmed uptrend I will buy more of SKX, not more than 15% of my holding though although 10% is recommended but we will get to that state. I will past the updated fundamentals tomorrow compared to the last time I pasted one on SKX. You will see that your trading information is readily available on time and no one could deceive you. OK see the graph today and compare it to what i pasted last week. Now look at the stock position and see what was made today as profit 900 dollars. I am showing you this to see that it is a live trade. This is to telling you theory, I show you as i go along. Note this could drop a little bit tomorrw, this is how the market works, just set your stop at a price level that suits you. I will adjust my stop tonight and publish it tomorrow. Good night !!! happy trading.

RoyalPriesthuud:Thanks delighted at your comments. Ok I will start the Thread on the First of August. Regarding account, please ignore those banks, they are living in the past and do not understand trading has moved on. Not sure what it takes to Open an account in Nigerian on the US platform, but I will need someone to try it. It cost nothing to Open it and you could have as little as possible on the account. Now I need to work out what Topic to cover and when. I will highlight the topics and when it will be thought and you can follow at your own time. Possible to do some video and add them to the thread, not sure if Nairaland supports Video but I will do my best. |

Now, I have two more stock reporting next week EPAM and FIT, I need to decide if I want to go into earning with this stocks, so I have to keep close eye on the technical analysis. It is only the technical analysis that will tell you what is happening, once you see a gradual sell towards the earning season, you know that there is something around the corner and you an reduce your exposure by 75% before going into earning. Remember- The rule of the game is not how much money you want to make, You concentrate on a good stock and protect your hard earned money, the Stock will do the rest by running away if it is a good stock. IF not sell quickly, cut your losses and come back another day. He who learn to fight and run away fight another day. trading is not a game of HOPE and WISH, you have to ( PLAN YOUR TRADE AND TRADE YOUR PLAN) let the market do whatever it wants to do. Imagine, the US market trades about 1 trillion dollars a day, what effect can you have on the market by buying or selling a stock of 100 thousand dolllars. I will leave you to answer that question. Just pretend the Market is the beach and you have gone there for a bucket of water, tell me who will notice your action. What you have to do is to wait for the wave to pull back, run towards the beach, take your bowl of water and run away as quickly as possible. You have to be vigilant and this thread makes me focus on my trade in case you are wondering what i will be gaining from it. |

EARNING SEASON The Market moves into full gear this Month with earning season and so far a number of stocks (SKX) has blown the roof. Yesterday of my Stocks ( Live position) Blew the roof and gained 15% in one day. Have a look at the stock position on google during the day and after trade, and I will provide you with a short analysis of the stock. Company Profile Description Skechers U.Skechers U.S.A., Inc. is a designer and marketer of Skechers-branded lifestyle footwear for men, women and children, and performance footwear for men and women under the Skechers GO brand name. The Company’s brands are sold through department and specialty stores, athletic and independent retailers, boutiques and internet retailers.

If you take a close look at PIc 2, you will see a red line marked 42, that tells you I have or hold 42 of those stocks and my stop is at 119.34 dollars. This means my stock price cannot drop below 119.34, if it does all my stock will be sold. At this point I cannot make any loss in this trade any more because this is higher than my buy price. If i hold the position for two years, I can only make profit in this trade. This is what I mean by complete risk management.

[quote author=YerYer post=36365790]Based on your analysis the difference btwn GPRO and PYPL are glaring. How should I play GPRO? I'm avoiding stocks with significant exposure to China right now. Does GPRO have any such exposure? Should I buy at "market price" or "limit" if so what will be a good buy in price? At what price do you recommend to sell? How do you set stops on TD Ameritrade? You can add me on bbm as listed in my profile so we can do this via the web conference, this whole typing is time consuming and revealing account details. I will still post screen shots every now and then however.[/quote Ok send me a mail at jimoh.stocks@hotmail.co.uk, I will reply you with my personal mail address just to keep anyone from sending me a mail. ill present you with my whats app number and the we could communicate better.

Apple, Every one know apple is a good stock, it has been drifting side ways for a while and about to hit its 200day moving average, if it does set your buy point at about 126 dollars, never buy a stock at the current price when going down, set your entry point higher that the price and let the stock take you into the trade. I do not buy stock at market price, I buy at higher than the market price but not higher than a certain price. This you can do by setting your buy stop and stop limit. This is how it works, if a stock is closed at 10 dollars today and i want to buy it tomorrow, I will set my entry point (buy stop) at 0.50% of the last closing price and my stop limit at 1.5% above the closing price. This means that if the stock opens lower the following day, my buy will not be triggered, and if it opens 1.5% above the previous days closing price, it will not be triggered. The price has to be between 0.50% and 1.5% for my buy to be triggered and a trade executed. Please not, my maximum loss will also be set and triggered at the same time at 7% below my buy price. That way, i completely take emotions out of my trade, the psychology of a trade is very very important. 1 Like

YerYer:PLATFORM - TD Ameritrade, Download trading platform called Thinkorswim. PYPL This is a new IPO, actully the stock has only traded for 7days. See a snapshot of the fundamental below, the numbers are not what I look for in my wining stocks. Check AMBA and GPRO and compare the fundamental to this. I have presented them in the same format so that you could compare. I cannot really say much about the technical as the stock has not had time to settle down. APPLE and Facebook are good stock, in fact facebook is very good and the price is now dragged down by the general market. But be careful in that it is about to release its result tomorrow, it could become very volatile, but if the result is good you will see the price jump and move into a new high. Set your stops and trust me you have a good position. The first fundamental is PYPL while the second is GPRO. Please compare fundamentals APPLE

Pleaser find attached the Technical analysis of S&P 500, AMBA and GPRO. The fundamental analysis of is on page 0 of the thread so I wil not repeat it. MARKET DIRECTION.Also I actively trade GPRO and you can see have 32 units of it based on the snapshot i sent you. I entered my position last week following the declaration of a good result and a good forward guidance. You can see the last green bar when I bought it. normally I do not buy stock when the prices are dropping, but the general market has pulled this down and it has declared a good result. Also the average daily volume was more that 400% when I bought it telling me Fund managers are in for a buy. OK Back to Market Direction - market is under pressure and this is holiday season, by our trading rules, you do no place a new trade when the market is under pressure. 3 our of every 4 stocks will follow the market so the odds are against you. you and see the area of resistance so far, indicated by the green arrows, once the market breaks that level at high volume, we are in for another ride full force. If you want to trade the lows as you can see we are at a low point right now, make sure you take profit at not more than 10% and keep your losses are not more than 5%. Remember, he who fight and run away lives to fight another day. Let your profit run in an uptrend and cut your losses as soon as possible. AMBAI am not trading AMBA but as you can see it has moved up a bit from the point where I recommended it. This Is presenting a good entry point for the stock and if we were in an up trend I would have recommended a buy. I will wait till the end of today's session and see how it performs buy I expect it to move up if the market does today. SKXThis is a stock I hold a position in, and it is at a critical point today. This stock releases result tomorrow and it has been growing exponentially for the last 3 Quaters. Not sure what the outcome is tomorrow but we can only keep our fingers crossed. I will do the analysis tomorrow and see how it goes Note, the Graphs are in the order S&P500 ( greneral market) AMBA and GPRO

@YerYer: Play around with the platform and let me know what your thoughts are if you could find your way around. If not I will organise a Cisco webex Session to show you how it works. I could record it and past it on this site for anyone that wants to learn how the platform works in the future. |

Ok Thats good, you should have access to the platform now whilst they process your application for real money trade. I will review and post my analysis of the general market condition in relation to the stocks " AMBA" and " GPRO" for now. |

YerYer:Fantastil !!! in fact I am impressed... Ok I agree to that and I will go a step further, in the near future I will invite you to join me in a Cisco Webex session, I plan to use this to organise a Paid training session in the Future, but the fact that you plan to put your money where your mouth is tells me you are a risk taker, so I do accept your challenge. Going forward, we will start by reviewing the general market trend and identify possible trades. The market can only be in one or Three states Confirmed uptrend We only place new position at this state. Up trend under pressure We do not buy new stock at this state, we only watch out for our stock that are not performing well, and get ready to act. Market In correction. - Here we adjust our stops based on our risk appetite and wait for the market to take us out or take our profit from the table if we are happy with it Please use TD Ameritrade, the we can learn tricks on the platform and work in sync. and please make sure you use really money. Psychology of trade is very important and only comes with using real money. |

YerYer:In Addition to your comments, I have decided to carry out a Fundamental and technical Analysis of " your" equity in question and based on my experience I would not have touch that stock for the reasons highlighted below. Let us start with the Fundamental analysis Description QUALCOMM QUALCOMM Incorporated (Qualcomm) designs, manufactures and market digital communications products and services based on Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) and other technologies. The Company’s products consist of integrated circuits and system software used in mobile devices and in wireless networks. The Company operates in three segments, including Qualcomm CDMA Technologies (QCT), Qualcomm Technology Licensing (QTL) and Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives (QSI). QCT develops and supplies integrated circuits and system software based on CDMA, OFDMA and other technologies. QTL segment provides rights to use portions of its property portfolio. QSI segment is focused on opening new opportunities for its technologies. QUALCOMM Fundamental Analysis. QUALCOMM is in negative EPS (Earning per share -31%) with a grouth of 13% in the last 3 years, The ROE (return on investment is 22.86%) but that is not backed up by good sales which is -14%. Question for you, if sales is -14% how did they have a return on investment of 22%, (maybe they have been laying off staff). This is a 100 Billion dollar company growing at 13%. Am sure i will never, have a second look as this company despite how well known it is. Technical analysis. Technical analysis is the forensic arm of trading. Look at the volume, the red histogram highlighted in green arrow on the lower part of the graph. It tells you and shouting loud that the fund Managers are selling, did you see any buy (green) at the same level as the sell? That tells you there is more selling than buying taking place. You can see the huge volumes correspond to a huge drop in price, these are all obvious. Fundamental analysis will not show you this, buy the time you see it in the books next quater, it is too late. Now look at the circle - That indicates the perfect storm, if you are still holding the stock at that point, then you much be the owner of the company or you are not really sure of what is going on. that is the point where the 10 days, 15 days and 200 days moving average crossed, from that point on you can only go south. I will hold off here and quietly await your comments on this analysis.

YerYer:Well said, this thread is not for day traders, if you want to day trade you are better off trading forex where fundamental analysis is not much of a factor. The decision to buy a stock in based on both fundamental and technical analysis. Rather unfortunate you only passed comment on the technical analysis. I have provide one of the most concise research on a stock ( Description of what the company does, the Fundamental analysis of the company and the technical price action of the stock.) the missing part of the part to all this is the general market direction. The market is designed to be volatile, there is nothing you can do about that. Why would anyone stay away from semiconductors ? you have them a component in your phone, smartwach, TV, laptop, cars and the list goes on. Yes they are cyclical in nature, so are other equities in the market, the most important thing is to choose stocks that are performing( Fundamental analysis) buy at the right time of high probability and low risk ( technical analysis) understand the general market direction ( Market state) and most importantly protect yourself ( stop loss) if you combine all these you will smile to the bank. Technical analysis. I still cannot believe there is a trader in this age that trades only based on Fundamental analysis, Fundamental analysis tell you the company is making sales, has good EPS but does not mean the price will go up. Technical analysis tells you what all investors are doing at a particular time you can see if a stock is heavily sold or bought, you can see if it is breaking out after a long rest, and if tell you when the big boys ( funds) are buying or selling. If you trade based on fundamental analysis and things change internally in the organisation ( say they lost a huge contract that make them money) only technical analysis will tell you something is going wrong before it shows in the books next quater. Technical analysis discounts all ( NEVER BUY A STOCK BASED ON FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS ALONE) I have the scar to show for it, experience discounts all. |

kurupt1:Now you have asked one of the best question so far and the reason why you should trade on the US market. Here you do not need Nigerian Broker. I have traded on the Nigerian market using a Nigerian broker only to get frustrated ( ho.. we cannot buy today, hoooo we cannot sell today, hoooo the quantity is not ready) or the IPO has closed. You do not get all this on the US market, you will open and online trading account yourself, you can open one like you open an email account (very fast). This will give you an instant access to the platform am using to analyse the stock. To trade, it might take another 4 weeks as you will have to set up your bank account to Fund the brokage account and verify your documents to ensure you are who you claim you are. All that will be done online. Once done you are ready to role, but right from the start you will have access to a dummy account you can you to practice the platform and familiarise yourself with it. There are many online broker in the US but I will recommend the use of TDameritrade.com. This is the one I use and it will let you follow as I proceed. It will cost you 10dollars to buy and 10 dollars to sell not matter how may stocks. form 50 dollar purchase to 100 thousand dollars purchase. all cost 10 dollar per trade. You know what your cost is up front. Let me know if you have more question. 1 Like |
