The money I lost was quite a hefty tuition fees.. I learn:
A: Do not chase stock even if they are on the rise (well sometimes I lucky lol but 90% sure die)
B: Once profit quick take out (Once profit on both Ramunia and Time, greedy heart makes me stay on and make me less profit on Ramunia and lose money on Time)
C: I once in out in out a share that was making me lose money but it rises the other day. I should have keep on holding it and see what going on instead of emotioning around as long as I keep the stock I'm still have hope unless it reach my stop loss point.
D: I've done too many stupid trades I should stop doing it lol (Buy on dips from now on xD)
Hehe....Me too!...I figured out
A: Loss 2K on Ramunia sometimes back because chase stock. Up up then down. Secondary learning: Don't use margin hope to earn money.
B: This one if you wanna do quick trade. I trade many many times MKLand, Tebrau, Huaan, E&O, all this for quick 3-4 tick gain. But it will work only in up market. Down market, wish you good luck.
C: You sell, you loss. You did not sell, you paper loss only. I have formulated two plans on this -
i. If the price start to go up, wait, wait...sometimes the uptrend will signal stronger buying, so don't panic and take your profits slow then. This plan work only if you have TP and sell at your TP and don't be greedy.
ii. You buy 1000 shares, and it drop. If you scared the heart attack as it drop lower, you sell maybe 500, to avoid further losses. If the share go up, you wait it make your breakeven point then sell. Don't have to greedy earn.
D: I try avoid it after making umpteen stupid trades like that in the past...
