Hi tinpeng,

Just curious.

What indicators do you use for TA?

And given that you do FA-and-TA, which one takes precedence when a trade goes against you?

Will it be FA? Or will it be based on TA? Or do you use a 'percentage' as an exit strategy?

Thanks

tp,

just to say thanks for those daily analysts reports... wish you every success in 2010 !!!

to Iam802,

I am using stocastics and bolinger bands. I will try to buy on oversold positions. I will do FA before TA. I normally use the top-down approach to save time.

I am weak in TA. That is why i pay more than 2k for a TA course recently. I am still trying to improve. The course teach me how to cut loss. They explain to me the rationale for cutting loss at a certain point.
I think it is important to understand the rationale and open up our eyes. Don't trade blindly and cut loss blindly.

Their secret in cutting loss is to cut at 4% below the immediate support. Reason is to avoid whipsaw. Daily movements in STI is around 3%.

If u want to know more, join chart nexus. They are a passionate bunch of people who are crazy over TA. But before u join, please call me... I will help u to get a discount.

Regards
