OCBC Revisit

OCBC: Swing Trade Revisit
Following is a re-cap on the swing trade (or scalping) idea for OCBC on Wednesday. The trade went well as planned and the trader would have closed the trade at S$9.05-S$9.07 zone this morning. ...

As I normally share during my 1-on-1 coaching sessions, simple understanding of the stock's phase allows traders to adjust its target price and stop accordingly. In this case, a conservative target price and tight stop works well as OCBC trades in a consolidation zone.

Today is the day of trading for 2016. On the last day, I always ask myself how has I improved as an investor/trader this year and what are my goals for the next year. It helps and I hope you'll do the same too.

2016 is a memorable year and so is 2006. 10 years ago, holds one of my most memorable trades. Traded Genting SP, happily shocked to learn that Genting won the bid as one of the Casino operator in Singapore, while I was still holding to Genting shares and was polishing my trend trading techniques.

Wyckoff's Law of Effort

Law of Effort Wyckoff's Law of Effort states that on any single trading day (or week depending on time frame), huge volume (effort) push by participants should see huge price movement, resulting in a wide spread (long body). This is a basic principle of effort and result. However, as per Singtel's case study, we saw huge selling volume on 11 May, yet the price action only shows a narrow spread (small body). This divergence of effort and result in Wyckoff's Law of Effort principles, indicates possible exhaustion in selling or hidden buying. Thus, with a lack of weakness, Singtel should continue trading range bound for the coming days or weeks till further strength or weakness is observed. Swing Traders who trades range can consider positions at 3.70-3.72, with exit target 3.76-3.78.

Keppel DC REIT (AJBU): Expect price to trade towards S$2.00

  Keppel DC REIT (AJBU) Expect price to trade towards S$2.00 We have observed a decrease in technical supply at the S$1.80 support area during recent trading sessions. Furthermore, a softer interest rate outlook could be advantageous for the Data Centre operator.  Consequently, we anticipate the REIT to move towards our initial target of S$2.00, with the potential to reach S$2.20 if it breaks through resistance. Our stop level is set below S$1.72. Disclaimers Apply
