The following is the last closed trade in the US:

The following is the portfolio:

Below are the monthly charts along with brief commentary.

I am going to look to the period between 1967 and 1984, as well as, for the period between 2000 and 2013.
As I have written before now, my guess about what is happening is that the S&P 500 since 2000 is following the path between 1968 and 1984.
At this time the key is to understand if the breakout above the long-term resistance line was or not decisive.
When the breakout is decisive, the resistance level then becomes a support level, but I don´t know yet whether or not this will happen. My big question is this: Will red support line hold?

Saw many charts here.. I dun really trust charts.
I'm looking mainly at company business, growth, financial statements, greed + fear index,
valuations to make my buy/sell decision.. IMO, Greed + Fear Index are very hard to implement,
monitor and measure it correctly. Many tools in the net, but somehow, it still lack of good inputs.

Are you a trend follower? Is this portfolio for real or just paper trading? How do you choose a ticker to trade? Sorry for many questions. I'm a trend follower myself but also swing trade as well during ranging market.

netmask8 and kimyee73: Thank you for your comments.


The portfolio has a rule to see what is going to happen before it takes place:

All trade ideas and stop loss orders must be sent to this thread, with a minimum of 5 minutes before the next market opening, and automatically placed on the market after the market opens. The orders will be executed at the opening price, except in the case of stop loss orders. I consider 5 USD per buy or sell order.

I trade my trade ideas in my own account.

Generally speaking, firstly I use technical analysis and, secondly, I use fundamental analysis.
I always give more importance to the technical analysis.

I read chart trend and then I follow the trend, and I also try to identify possible reversal points.
There are several ways to read the trend - for example, with the help of trend lines, technical indicators, chart patterns, et cetera. And I use it. I also use the Dow Theory definition of a trend based on highs and lows. A stock trending up is making higher highs and higher lows.

On the fundamental analysis, I give more attention to the Cash Flow from Operating Activities.

do you trade FOREX, which is much liquid ?

High volume traded stocks are very liquid too. My broker credits my account in less than 10 minutes after an executed order.

I personally don't trade Forex.

But I'll let TS to answer your question.

The following are the annotated charts:

Yes, I trade forex.
The Forex market is very liquid but it is very different from stocks.

Why you bought ERX? ERX is in between 20SMA and 50SMA. Are you confident that it will break above this strong 50SMA? Why not wait until it break above first instead of pre-empt it? Just want to hear your rationale. Thanks.

It is written on the annotated chart:
"ERX reacted positively to the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA200) and has been rising ever since.
The consensus of the 12 technical indicators that I use is on the buy signal."

The movement of ERX has been similar to the UPRO.

Hi Duarte/TS,
Nice to see your post. I am fascinated by the charts and all that info displayed, in order to help you make the best decision (profit)

One question - based on your starting portfolio value of USD 35k (Mar 1) how much profit do you intend to make in 6 months' time ? (or 1 year ?)

12 I can see you're using MACD, RSI and EMA. Mind to share the rest?
What is the return so far in term of return to risk ratio? What is the max capital utilized and max drawdown experienced so far? Thanks.
