      When do we buy?

      This article follows the other piece written a while ago, titled, "Buy or Sell? That's the question". Have a read if you have not had that opportunity. Buy low, sell high. That's how we make money, right? Or is it? What about this? Buy high, sell higher? Possibly. The mentality of wanting to buy at the price bottom is understandable and what we humans are like... A bargain! How many times have we waited for a change of season sales, a year end or Christmas sales to buy something we had wanted all along? Especially if there's a 50% off written all over the display windows. What about a 70% off? Why not make it 90% then or a "closing down" sale?! It's the same thing as purchasing the stock of a company. When you spot a fire sale, will you scoop it up? Or will you be too scared to do so when

Understand the MACD on a deep level.Here are a few key things to understand about the MACD indicator.If you plot a 12 and 26-period moving average on the chart, the MACD value is the distance between these moving averages. The MACD uses exponential moving averages (EMAs) so if you want to see how movement in the MACD corresponds to the moving average movement, use EMAs, with no smoothing, on your chart.When 12 crosses above the 26-period moving average, that is when the MACD moves above the zero line.When the 12 crosses below the 26, that is when the MACD crosses below the zero line.The signal l

      Keep Losing Money in Stock Markets? Do You Have Bad Habits? Losing money in the stock market is a common experience for beginners—and often a painful one. But behind the numbers, there's a deeper story: your behavior. Most investors don’t lose because they lack intelligence, but because they fail to develop the right habits and mindset. Yes, when I first started the green journey in investing, I made many of the classic mistakes. Chasing hot stocks, panic-selling during dips, overtrading, ignoring risk—these were all rooted in emotional decision-making. But like any discipline, investing rewards patience, self-awareness, and continuous learning. Today, I've cultivated good investing habits and behavior, and now enjoy modest, consistent returns—what I call ā€œmodest harvesting.ā€ The goal isn’

It dropped to USD 5. Now it's over USD100. Profit is coming from your patient, not your intelligence or even experience. There is no time limit for you to wait. That's our advantage, different from the big investment company. we can take that advantage.

      For me, the hardest emotional bias to overcome is FOMO. I’ve definitely felt that urge to jump into a trade right after selling, just because I didn’t want to ā€œmiss out.ā€ It’s tough to sit on cash when the market seems to be moving without you, but I’ve learned (the hard way) that patience usually pays off more than chasing. I’ll admit I’ve also fallen into the trap of taking profits too early while holding onto losing trades for too long. It’s easy to justify a loss by saying ā€œit’ll bounce back,ā€ but that’s usually just hope talking. Now, I try to focus more on the actual fundamentals and stick to my stop-losses. Overall, I’ve realized trading is more about managing emotions than analyzing charts. Recognizing these bad habits has helped me become more disciplined—and hopefully, more prof

      Keep Losing Money😿 Do You Have These Bad Habits?

      It’s said that 85% of people don’t make money trading stocks. Even someone as brilliant as Newton wasn’t spared. That’s because trading isn’t just about technicals and fundamentals—it’s a game of human nature. Let’s take a look at the five key habits that lead to losses. Which one sounds familiar?1. FOMO: Sell and then buy again—and always go all-in, never holding cash The moment you sell, you’re itching to buy something else, afraid of missing out. This is classic greed. But remember: as long as the market exists, opportunities will always come. Ironically, when the real opportunity does arrive, you probably won’t have any cash left.2. Wrong take-profit and stop-loss method: Take quick profits but hold onto losing trades This is a classic retail investor trap—taking tiny profits out of fe

      $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ The hardest emotional bias to overcome in investing is likely loss aversion. This bias, rooted in behavioural finance, stems from the human tendency to feel the pain of losses more acutely than the pleasure of gains. It can lead to poor decision-making, such as holding onto losing investments for too long, in the hope of recovering losses, or selling winners prematurely out of fear of losing unrealised profits. Other Common Emotional Biases in Investing: 1. Overconfidence: Believing one has more knowledge or skill than they actually possess, leading to excessive risk-taking. 2. Confirmation Bias: Focusing on information that supports one’s existing beliefs while ignoring contradictory data. 3. Herd Mentality: Following the c

      I definitely felt like I was catching falling knives when I bought China/HK stocks 3 years ago. The cheap just keeps getting cheaper. But I stuck on and rode it out. I don’t believe in going all in as putting all my eggs in the same basket is too risky for me. I definitely have times where I have taken profit too early. Then I would re-enter when I realise that the momentum is there. Of course, there are times when the momentum stops and I am stuck with the stock. I would usually hold it through if the fundamentals are intact and there is a chance that macro factors that influence it would turnaround. Sometimes patience and time in the market would pay off though the profit margin would be reduced. @rL

The noises will influence your mind to swap and doubt your earlier decision making as there is bound to be market variables changes over time.  Sadly,  this will makes investor to lose focus in investing for the long term, and instead fall into wrong terms in line with market noises.

      $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ The single biggest losing trigger for almost all traders (institutional and otherwise) is not managing their portfolios under clear, pre-defined processes, strategies and tolerances to guide all investment activities. The second biggest loss factor is not sticking to the above mentioned at all times. Put simply, a lack of pre-planning, patience and discipline will undo you every time....
