I get caught in a few occasions that my predictation using technical indicators went haywire when there were sudden drop trading volume. On Aug 6, everything looked good on this chart. The stock price breakout from consolidation and broke the resistance of $0.13 with 63.5M shares traded. The stock price was above 20D, 50D and 200D MA, at the upper Bollinger Band, on top of the Parabolic SAR, MACD confirmed bullish convergence, RSI & Stochastic were bullish. All Standard Six indicators showed bullish convergence and looked really good to enter the position. The next day the volume dropped to 14.2M shares and end up with a bearish marubozu candle.

  2. I need to filter noises in the market. Need to differentiate facts and rumors.
  3. Be disciplined in my investment plan and investing strategy. Don’t get influenced easily by others.
  4. Learn from others and never stop learning.
  5. Don’t be hero in the market. I can never beat the market.
  6. Be firm when it is time to get out of the position and cut loses. (this is quite tough to me for the time being but I have made some good progress)
  7. Endure, endure, and endure! Wait for the right time to buy. (Now I start to understand what the trainer taught me: the toughest thing to do is to wait!)
  8. Invest what I can afford to lose.
  9. Don’t put all eggs into my basket. Diversify my portfolio but don’t over diversify.
  10. Don’t be greedy!
