2011 Review

Satuki — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 13:00:27 +0000

2009 and 2010 were good for most trend followers(bulls) who bought and held tight onto their positions. 2011 was a totally different story. It was basiclly a big range bound market caused by the problems in Europe. There were many opportunities on both sides. That is why I like range bound markets better. How [...]

Mom is back with a vengeance

Satuki — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 07:10:50 +0000

Just kidding… I took 3 trades in the AM last Friday(6/3/11). Check them out in the charts below. One reason I love TradeStation is that it marks all your trades on the screen. A cyan line means a winner. A red one means a loser. So the first one was a loser and [...]

It is Miranda, my one year old daughter. She actually is holding a long position in RENN @ 12.51. Well, I asked her if she wanted that stock. She said “Yesh”. Well she says “yesh” to just everything. She will join forces with her Mom in just about 20 years …:) A lot [...]

Monthly Recap: July 2010

Satuki — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:57:46 +0000

It has been a while since I updated my blog and my portfolio last time. Some people asked If I stopped trading. The answer is “No”. For a housewife like me, I do not see anything else except day trading as a viable livelihood. If you ask around, most people will perhaps tell you that [...]

Are you being slapped left and right?

Satuki — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:25:37 +0000

I think a lot of traders are. Look at the chart below. If you were long before point C and you are disciplined, then you would have been stopped out of most of your positions. 70-80% of your portfolio follows the general market. That is why some people prefer trading E-Mini. If you were ambitious, [...]

Stocks worth watching

Satuki — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 13:00:57 +0000

Here are a few stocks that have been performing much stronger than the general market. Click on the image to have a better view Netflix, Inc. (Public, NASDAQ:NFLX) I have Netflix’s 2 DVD package. Service has been great and their competitors are weak. Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (Public, NYSE:VRX) This stock just made [...]

Long or short?

Satuki — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 13:00:52 +0000

The general market has been stuck in a range for a while. A short term trend following system will fail miserably in a situation like this. Oscillators, pivots , support and resistance work better here. The overall market sentiment is perhaps still slightly bearish mainly due to the problems in Europe. So we can [...]

One of my trades: EURUSD Long 500 pips

Satuki — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 04:04:23 +0000

I took a small long position in EURUSD @ 1.1963 on 6/7/10. It is only 1 lot (worth 100k), which is considered a small position in Forex. Now I have over 400+ pips in profits on paper now. I was aiming for a 500 pip move here. And the initial stop loss was set @ 1.1877, [...]

Where are we now?

Satuki — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 15:00:14 +0000

As I mentioned in my previous post, we would expect to see some range bound moves. It has been the case for the past 2 weeks partially because some bullish news from China provided some balance to the bad ones from the EU. Let’s take a look at the daily chart of the SP 500. [...]

Telemarketer Zapping

Satuki — Sun, 16 May 2010 21:19:13 +0000

I receive automated calls from Telemarketers and debt collectors every day. I told the debt collectors that they got the wrong person. They just kept calling. I am home 24×7. This really annoys the heck out of me especially when I am napping. I have registered on the National Do-Not-Call list. But it does not [...]
