Hi Jako,
Appreciate your time.
I spose i am a medium to long term trader, but have learnt that if the going is good, sometimes it is a good idea to take some chips off the table.
It is not a huge deal on getting stoppped out, i spose that is what they are there for, had it have gone too much lower, would have been completely out and that would have been a bummer to see it bounce soon. Anyway, that is the gamble, it would be nice to see it run up a bit away from my all out stop, we will see.
So in terms of my trading, it is mostly in my super. I had an unbelievable run on a west Oz lithium miner, wont mention who (starts with 'P' and ends with 'ilbara minerals' ) in early on a chart recommendation from
@h00ts , range trading %10-15 for months then just a bit of a fluke, went all in on an announcement and boom, doubled, near trebled my money. Got out mostly when the going was good and kept a small parcel, which i was forced to sell due to my super institution forcing liquidation as they are no longer providing a Direct Investment Option, i think due to the fact they r not making any money out of my transactions, Macquarie being the quasi broker.
Soooooo, i am now in another super fund, with a more conservative percentage of my funds allocated to direct investment. Also have a small packet in NABtrade, ready to jump on another hype tornado like said lithium miner.
So i had a punt on Monday on GPT, a real estate group. My reasoning below in the chart.
Would have been a bit nicer to be in last week, but i believe i see a bullish absorption and am waiting for the End of Rising Gap or to see what happens if i get out, or maybe pulls back and i go a bit more then out. It is amazing to see the theory in practice.
As u say, it can be boring to just buy the up and sell the down but it keeps the coffers full, or at least half full
