CHAKA PLATFORM IS NOT WORKING SINCE 11 AUGUST 2025, LET US SEE HOW LING IT WILL TAKE THEM TO PUT THINGS IN ORDER
Let us monitor Chaka to see when their platform start working Even if it tis he changing of their main stockbroker that is causing problem, they should respond to mails.

The Customer Service is the poorest you can ever think of.

We are protected as long as we have used them to buy shares only. Our share are in our names. The worst that will happen is that we move our shares elsewhere in case it becomes necessary.

Once the platform is okay I will inform the forum.

TARGET TECHNICA ANALYSIS: MARKET COMMENT
Expect a volatile market early in the day ad CPI report for July is awaited.

So let us wait till after the report to make our decision a better one. Trading prior to a major news is for pure amateurs (we should be growing our of our retail trader mentality).

THE NIGERIA MARKET IS ON A ONE WAY CHANNEL
Insurance stocks taking control if proceedings in the market. Playing this one way channel is good, at least it make life easy.

But we should remember that we should limit ourselves to those that have some fundamentals. The surge has a strong base, and is likely to last for some time.

In the Caucus we have penciled down our best 3 bets based on money flow amd sone fundamentals.

Wish everyone the best.

Q

GLOBAL STOCK TRADING IS GOOD BUT SOME LOCAL APPS ARE MAKING A MESS WITH UNRESPONSIVE PLATFORM

Imagine not being able to trade over 3hrs after market opens.

Chaka is a disgrace to local APPS on the issue of platform that may not open for the whole day. You email the support and there is no response. They should not be looking for brw Customers till they have solve their platform problems.

Customer service is zero.

TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
For our Analysis at the Caucus, I am happy at the new dimensions we are going now. Our daily messages now have fundamentals undertone, whole the technicals just give us rhe finishing.

Personally I am more happy than before to buy some stocks.

For example I can close my eyes to buy a stock like Palantir. Risk to the downside us curtailed by standby orders.

Winners are in the Caucus

TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS- EARLY MORNING COMMENT
Today is looking bullish and normal in the US market.

Although some Fed people are speaking, I hope they will not derail the bull. Rate cut is a must cone next FOMC meeting!!!

MARKET IS TOUGH
For the past 2 weeks our portfolio experienced some drawdown, personally the fall is big closer to 20% of the portfolio. it is worrisome, but it further reinforce the need to follow good trading habits (keep loses small, avoid trading close to earnings date, any stock can be sold once it hit our stop loss level even if that stock is NVDA, TSLA etc).

Despite the above we continue, the portfolio's foundation is what is still keeping us going.

Also, our being active in the Nigerian market is a consolation as that is a far easier market to invest.

Wishing all to stay motivated and protect our capital.

WEEKEND MARKET UPDATE FOR WEEK ENDED 1 AUGUST 2025 PLUS SOME JULY STATISTICS/ LIKELY MARKET DIRECTION

Below are a recap of some happening in the market for the week Just ended.

And using my Ghanaian language of "putting two and two together', we sre likely to see monday opening bullish and in fact the new week and the following one should end up on the bullish side. For now bears cannot withstand the current bullish fire.

The banks which would have quench the bogus increases in earnings we are seeing are now, aided by the new improved capital and which nearly all goes into their lending portfolio (cash reverse requirement, already reduced ) to improve profit in the current quarter compared with the corresponding previous quarter.

Weekly Market Summary (Week ended 1 August 2025 )

NGX-All Share Index Up ~‑ best monthly gain at +16.57% in July;
Sector performance
Banking ~+0.66%,
Consumer goods ~+3.78%,
Industrial ~+0.35%,
oil/gas –3.44%

Sentiment drivers: [/b]Strong Q2 earnings, institutional flows, sector rotation favoring consumer/industrial, and profit‑taking watch.

[b]Macro Factors : Positive but cautious optimism, anchored by healthy earnings and improving fiscal metrics.

Among stocks that boosted July performance are: Mega-caps UBA, MTN, Nigerian Breweries, Zenith, Dangote Cement etc

WHAT STOCK WILL RANK TOP FOR FULL BID ON MONDAY? Big question. our Caucus massage may have a clue!!!

Best of the week to all.
[color=#006600][/color]

Firstly, Thank you so much for your contributions on this forum
You keep this area going

Please what platforms do you recommend using to trade leverage trading?


I checked out vests .
Looked like a really nice platform, tho I’m yet to explore it

I’m wondering if they have call nd put options

And can we short the market with it[/quote]For full leverage Trading. Tradezero is good, but no fractional share purchases, you buy minimum of one unit. You can visit their website or email them for more update. They have everything: margin loan, option, you can short, do day trading (if you can satisfy the terms).

On the other with reverse etf, 2x, 3x, ultra etf you sre playing leverage fir the stocks these etfs are attached to: TSLL gives 2 times TSLA move for the day.

TODAY TRUMP TARIFF SEND FEAR INTO THE MARKET
Many portfolios got hit today. Nearly all no exemption. At the Caucus we talk about getting out of leveraged/risky positions and moving to a set of safe ETFs, at least till some counter news on tariff arrives in the market.

machine606:
Yes, vest is a big improvement. Yet to take advantage of the platform.
Is Trade 212 now accepting Nigerians? I got a mail from them. Not sure yet, but it seems they have

You can email Trade212 for tge onboarding/payment details/position on commission). Vest has tge advantage of accepting Naira though.

[b]TODAY IS OUR DAY- [/b]WE ARE THE OWNERS OF THIS MARKET?
The saying tha everyday is for the thief and one day is for the owner looks wrong. If the thief steals everyday, the owner's house may become empty. The place has become proverbially empty. The thief of this market must have stolen some people's money?

But for those who have survive again, today we are recovering. This thief that steals our money must be dealt with

But, some thiefs are so proud that they will tell you they are stealing everyday. And the one day (I don't know if it is selection day or not), the thiefs will steal that one day again. So where is the day for the owners here, only God can deliver us. But, we know one day shall be one day, thank God no one is imposing sanction again when the owners di away with some thiefs.

I don't know the thiefs oooo. I just saw this picture talking about "thiefs". But I know the thief id this forum, it called " the bear market"

TRADING GLOBAL STOCKS IS A TOUGH GAME- WHAT IS THE WAY OUT
Actually at a time like this we need to motivate ourselves. There is opportunity here but so many mines are on the way.

Even the experts use to have draw-down (draw-down is the same as losses), just yesterday, I learn the oil stock OXY is now trading less than the price Warren Buffet paid.

One way out if possible is to chose a Zero commission platform, just like today I have done a minimum of 4 transactions, in/out in/out not day trading! The problem is that the majority (those that control the market are okay with 1 to 2% move in a day), an average professional day trader enters most trades with around $5,000 at a go. If the stock move 1% the Guy makes $50 and if he does a minimum of 2 trades that is $100: he is okay. He pays no commission as most stock brokers overseas charges no commission (Robinhood, Momo etc, but for most Nigeria Nationals are not accepted).

So, if you are ready to buy legacy stocks like NVDA, MSFT, TSLA, MO, T, VZ etc and hold for the long term, you just have to use a zero commission broker like "Vest" ot if you like just look for another zero commission trading platform. Mind you, Vest has provision for Naira deposit, buy you start with equivalent of NGN160k.

So, I am not surprised that people have been washed out of this market, I sympatise with them. Come to think of it with commission of $0.75 per trade or 1.5% (whichever is higher) for a trade. How will you survive in this brutal market.

This is food for thought. Wishing everybody the best.

For someone like me, this forum and the Global market has done me well, And I will forever be grateful to the progenitor of this forum and our humble GO . OAKPEAL, God continue to bless him wherever he is.

TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS- SHORT WEEKEND COMMENT
Things are still okay in the market. AI is a big game changer, while it is leading to staff layoffs, it is about to creat a big problem on the energy side.

My worry on the coming energy crises is that, Countries like Nigeria that do not plan for the future may bring more hardship upon her Citizens as oil may at one point in time soon, have to go up

Let us see how our Government will handle this.

Blockhains, drones/rear earth, Genomics are sone of the hot sectors in the market. Let us see how Trump's tariff agreement with Europe will influence the market tommorrow. Naturally the effect should be bullish!!!

Wishing all the vest of the markt for the new week. I love this our one way sector driven environment, at least we have a few focus areas to explore for opportunities, good.

CHAKA GIVE NOTICE OF CHANGING TO ANOTHER NAME/PARTNER


Okay. We hope the new Partner will bring some improvements like more stocks and something like options trading.

Changing it Name is no big deal, at least we went from Passfolio to Vest. And Vest was a big improvement on Passfolio by being totally a zero commission platform and the accepting Naira and on Vest, if a stock do IPO today, you can see it in the platform and trade it without need to start asking question of bad platform set up as compared with our Local Apps (but the Local are really be having like "LOCAL", seems to be using fairly primitive system), but we are still managing them.

Let us see if the new Chaka will be an improvement on the current Chaka that we know.

Happy bullish new day to everyone. That you and me have lasted this long in this forum,still posting, our Accounts improving and we will continue till God wishes. First kudos to God and the other KUDUS to us all.

AllShare Index Tuesday to 132,451.73 on improved breadth (36 advancers / 34 decliners) and stronger activity: 771.7m shares traded (+9% d/d), ₦26.8bn turnover (+24%), 32.7k deals (+6%). Industrial names led

For today, we should see the bullish move continuing and with probability of the small caps joining.

HAVE WE NOTICE ANY PROBLEM ABOUT CHAKA PLATFORM RECENTLY?
The platform is taking too long to open.

I realise that any attempt to open the platform takes too long to open. Sometimes one will keep trying the platform for the next 2 hours without success. It is only after sending a message via email to Chaka that the app will then open afterwards.

The above is one of the reason, I feel all our local US stock taking App should just merge and become one, probably by then they will be able to offer better quality service?

LET US FOLLOW THE RIGHT PATH
It beats my imagination that people do not like anything that is easy.

Following the easy path may be better. Take an exam of 5 questions carrying 20 marks each. As a student who want to pass you do the simplest ones first and yo do 4 very well and you pass.

Fir trading US stocks, I have said it on many occasions,as at time of writing this message[b]:Vest Investment [/b] is the best APP to trade US stocks.

Attempt to use others, bambooze, shakashaka, trotro is all a waste of time. Just Imagine now, I have a dividend of $1.26 hanging in TroTro, if I want to buy anything, minimum commission is $0.75 automatically I cannot use that money. I have $1.56 in VEST, today I am looking forward to but a stock like OPEN with that money, I will get full value for $1.56 shares as commission is zero.

To trade Nigeria stocks, use : MORGAN CAPITAL. No story, no need fore incantations, no need to complain.

Please let us follow the easy path. Follow someone who has done what you are trying to do. Learn from mistakes I have made in the past, do not make the same mistake. It is probable that I have lost more money in the past in this market than you have lost or you will ever loose.

But thank God, the situation has changed (I do not chase need again, like I told our Caucus members, our system is like a Custom Checkpoint of when a stock will enter into the PROFIT ZONE OR PROFIT COUNTRY!!! A stock (good ones) cannot become bullish without our system catching it.

EARLY MORNING COMMENT (TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS) 21 JULY 2025
The the US market is moving, one of these days, there is the possibility of the market giving us the kind of money/profit we have never seen before. An interesting time to be in this market.

For the market, we are now using alogrthimes as part of our analysis. Thus, some of our trades are picked by our trading robot, yes "robot". As I type robot. I start thinking what is ROBOT, my mind went to ROBOTO, something very big and strong like a giant. As a child just think of a giant as your guide. I am sure you will not be afraid of any bully, the market is a bully, can you imagine the number of people this bully has taken their money and kicked them our of the market!!! Don't be a Mugu in this market you have to be the Maga.

Lc is one stock picked by our robot for today.

Wishing everybody a happy new week.

COMMENT (TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS) 18 JULY 2025
Today, we look to another bullish day in the market.

What I love about this forum is the way are quiet about money being made. People do not want to let "the cat out of the bag" Kudos to every member for this".

Also, the plan to start giving freebies here will soon materials. Freebies yes, we would be giving out token cash equivalents. Cash equivalents, why not stock ideas, that one hard 00000, That is the Koko? Okay will thing more about that?

To everyone I wish all a sweeter date as the market has always been sweet these days, things can only be sweeter and to our Caucus I say eku bullish market ooo, where below 4% on a trade per day is below standard!!! Especially when we use the leverage ETFs

COMMENT (TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS) 16 JULY 2025

I like this market die, it is just going as per our plan. What we bought today we're notified to the Caucus members. Now if you are not ready to swing trade, you can forget the US market . We can look at SOLT

Wishing everybody the best.

EARLY MARKET COMMENT (TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS) 14 JULY 2025
Today is a neutral day. Market is tilted to the theme we have been emphasizing in the Caucus: blockchain, semiconductor, data centre, energysupply for data centre (forget Solar for now, it seems politics is at play here, US want to avoid anything that will favour China as China controls solar most equipment supplies).

Making profit in the market now seems easy, just follow the industries we have pointed out above.

WHICH STOCKS ARE GOOD FOR BUYING THIS WEEK
We look forward to another bullish week starting from 14th July 2025.

Which stocks can we buy with minimal risk but will deliver maximum gain!!!

Get the gist here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfcO8NbjBx0&t=33s

Wishing all a profitable Monday and throughout the week

EARLY MARKET COMMENT (TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS) 11 JULY 2025
Looking forward to another sewwt day in the market today? These lists of gainers in the market wet our appetite for a bullish day.

I am so happy that today, I may not need to monitor my portfolio to do anything, all I will see is green.

But, God forbid, devil is a liar, we must not loose our guards.

Wishing all a very sweet weekend. These days I do not even feel I have any money at risk again. I sleep too much and I am happy to take losses when necessary. It takes self control to even spare stocks showing loss of around 10% to stay too long in my portfolio without being kicked out. By the way, one stock I will be looking at is RCAT (is a small cap stock, but must be mentioned when you talk about defence done).

US STOCKS/NIGERIA MARKET UPDATE
Not a bad day to day. The journey here has not been easy, but it is getting more rewarding day by day.

For the sake of simplicity, we should chose a platform that is easy to understand.

I just visited the tradezero platform, I have registered there sometimes ago. It looks fairly complicated, one will need to watch the video before you can use it

On the other hand, Vest platform is so simple that a toddler can use it

I am happy here. Using the knowledge I use here to trade Nigeria stocks is something else. Trading here is like a University, while trading Nigeria stocks is just like a Secondary school. About 100 active stocks Vs 8,000: no small joke incomparable.

MARKET NOT TOO BAD TODAY
Today the genomics stocks are doing fantastically well.

For those of us in this forum that have survive so far. I say Kudos to you all.

We need to accept that this is not an easy market. We should be weary of people who show up once a while and give advice that they pick up impromptu from the Market. Like someone suggesting Choice trade as a platform. Sorry is you chose choice trade, they have something like a account maintenance charge of $10 per month and you pay commission.

On TRADEZERO, it is a good platform with the following character:
Advantage
-zero commission
-you can short
-they give you margin loan

Disadvantages
- you cannot buy fractional shares (your purchase is a mini of I unit of stock). This to buy TSLA, be ready to pay $300+
-you can only wire money to them from Nigeria. Naira is unacceptable

Let me stop here.

God bless everyone.

TODAY 26 JUNE US IS ANOTHER SWEET DAY IN THE MARKET

Sorry for those that need hand holding in this market. Due to the depth of the market, everyday that we are in the market is like a big war imagine facing over 8000 soldiers, that is like the numbers of stock tradeable, you have little time to help an inexperienced hand. This is the reason we need to relax our mind and just get some paid training. It is like in Nigeria, we want Chaka/trove/bamboo to give us zero commission, it is impossible with no NEPA, high staff/Internet cost etc

Nevertheless, I wish us all profits in our accounts. Many have fallen by the wayside, get some quality trading system/training. if you want to survive in this brutal environment.

EARLY MARKET COMMENT (TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS) 26 JUNE 2025
Today should be a bullish day inflation or no inflation. If inflation come lower better for the Market.

If I have my way, I will say we should not attempt to trade the global market with having a trading system like the trading plan blueprint. The reason to r the is that the market is always shifting the goal post, good stocks become bad so soon and then becomes good again.

I was not happing looking at PFE(Pfizer), used to be a good stock with reliable dividend, but just about 2 days ago the dividend is reduced that if T, A T $T (America Telecoms); even worst, yield is now about 4% from about 7% previously.

I wish everybody well. If you observed making profit in Nigeria stocks look easy, at least from March to June, a good portfolio in Nigeria stock would have grown 50%, but here suppose to be better?

Again, I will say do not put the cart before the horse, get a good trading system first and come back and I am sure you will make money.

PREMARKET COMMENT (TARGET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS) 25 JUNE 2025
We look forward to another bullish day. But for us to benefit we must be in the right industry and the performing industries are: semiconductors, blockchain, Nuclear and data Centre are still in play. One stock we can look at is CRCL

EARLY MARKET COMMENT: WE SHOULD MARK TODAY IN OUR CALENDAR
Today we will see why the Global market is king, our portfolio's will smile today.

For our Caucus message today,we give a reason why we should follow the trend and not be moves by every news we hear or what we read (sometimes what we read is just 50% of the writer's idea that we see, the other 50% of the idea is in the writer's mind, I gave example of this as I write something on Tradingview, but to avoid going against the news. I did not say the fact that if the pattern fails, we are going to have a strong move to the other side and by the way when the market opened I follow the system in our "Trading Plan Blueprint", I could not even remember what I wrote earlier in the day on tradingview (and people have liked, subscribed and even send me emails).

https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BTCUSD/IHqOudav-HEAD-AND-SHOULDER-PATTERN-APPEARING-IN-BTCUSD/

Please let us have a trading system, without a trading system, we cannot be consistently profitable in the market.
