Short-term traders would use MACD as a guide for change in trend direction. Buy signals when the MACD crosses above signal line, sell signals when MACD crosses below signal line. Using stoch indicator, sell when stoch goes above 80 indicating an overbought condition Spotting price gap that is significantly lower accompanied by high trading volume (spelling trouble ahead) Setting a target price for minimizing loses can be done with a few methods using stock charts: Simply setting a stop loss at 10% loss from current price or adopt the trailing stop-loss strategy as your stock price goes up Exit if the stock price falls back below the resistance level after breaking through resistance - which gives smaller financial risk but prone to whipsaws (getting out of a potentially winning trade too soon) Exit if the price falls below the mid-point of the trading range - gives a higher risk but less prone to whipsaws ***

STI is climbing. It closed at 3190 today. BUT why is my only blue-chip Comfort Delgro showing a blue candle? I really can't figured out what's wrong with it. I know I have bought it at an overprice. It is a mistake. If only I had been more patient... Looking on the bright side, it is still some way from analyst's target value. I guess one problem is that the company has too many competitors, further research needs to be done. Hindsight analysis - it was the operating cost / oil price causing the down price of the share. Oceanus and MIIF is showing gains. Good signs. It was a good tightening of the bollinger bands for MIIF. =) Let's observe if STI can climb past the 3300 mark. ***
