It's not that one cannot play the falling stocks.
You can actually.
But lot's of time, I see many doing it haphazardly.
The minute they see the stock fall, they want to buy already and they try to guess where the point where the stock will rebound.
This is risky.
For Takaful, yes, there was an increase in daily volume but it's not a strong conclusive indicator that the stock might turn the corner (today).
Yes, on hand, there are more ppl buying but then it can also be argued that there are more ppl selling.
And like I said, I would rather see the stock form a base first.
There's another good example recently.
UEM Land.
Stock was falling down recently.
One could have guessed where the stock might turn, it was mentioned briefly on this thread but since there wasn't any serious intent to discuss it furthermore, I decided that wind talk was more appropriate.
Anyway, if you look at the chart, you could clearly see that one didn't have to rush to buy this falling stock.
If one knows how to wait, there was opening to trade the stock and the waiting trader could have profited easily money without fighting a reckless battle.
in UEMLand, I also didn't enter when it was 1.64. only entered when there's higher low, hammer, and confirmation candle. my entry price was 1.75, which is 10 sens higher. But that's ok coz at least I know my risk is 10 sens. if I try to predict the bottom, and entered at 1.65, i don't even know where the hell to cut....
