5:07 pm - FKLI selldown from 4.30 pm onward

It is the usual syndicate to cash out their short position by pushing the price up prior to 4.30 pm and selldown to 910.0 pts.

This makes it difficult to trade with these professional and able to make money from it.

So stay out.

I feel "bad" after I have being stop out. But it is ok, as the mkt wud always be there.

Monday, August 15, 2005

Today low of 923.5.

Trail stop to 929.0

4:05 pm - Cash mkt did hit below 930. Look at what STAR paper is saying today

FKLI index is bullish this week. Interesting ?

FKLI hit low of 924. Can it go any lower ? I do not know.

Trail my stop lower to 930. At this point, my loss will be -1.5 pt.

3:09 am : FKLI hit low of 924.5

Watch cash mkt if it break 930.0 today. If FKLI close below 928.0, the trend is down for the time being.

1:00 pm - Stop at 932.0

Trail stop to 932.0

11:28 am - Trade #17 is shorted at 928.5

My order is triggered and FKLI has gone lower to 926.5

10:48 am - FKLI did hit 937 and took out those short position


MACD looks to be crossing down and still below 50 MA. ATR stop is 930.5. Watch this level of 930.5.

If this level of 930 is breached for the third time, this is serious.

Second confirmation Bollinger Band is narrowing.

Trade # 17 is going to be short position at 929.5 or above.

FKLi is breaching 930 for the third time and a good sign to go short.

Friday, August 12, 2005

3:51 pm - MACD cross up at 12 noon

FKLI did cross up but did not break out from 937. If it does not break out 937, the market is not going to support it.

The market gap up higher and begin to sell down. This is a FKLI characteristic when DJIA close higher. This is a short pattern setup to short. It did break down to 927.5 and MACD cross up again. So, I cannot really make money from it. The market is moving sideway for Friday. Also no big inst. is coming to hold over weekend position.

3:21 pm - FKLI hit today high at 936. Trade #17 ready at 937

Wud my stop order be taken ? I wud like the FKLI to prove to me.

Rgds,

12:24 pm - Stop triggered at 933.5

Trade #16 is hit with a profit +5 pts.

Preparing for Trade #17 for long position at 937.0 if it does come.

Since Trade #17 is counter trend based on below 50MA. I have to take quick profit for this.

12:22 noon - FKLI is forming a bowl shape at 930

Watch for reversing up.

Tightening stop to 933.5 stop.

11:38 am - A pivot is formed at 929

A pivot is formed at 929, to go further downtrend, FKLI has to trend lower past 929.

11:33 am - Trail my stop lower to 934.0

If the FKLI moves up or close to 937.0/937.5, it wud signify the 3 days of downtrend is over and buyers are coming back into the scene.

10:25 am - FKLI hit low of 929 and rebounded

Is this a sign of a rebounding ? If cash mkt close lower, then this is the 3 days consecutive down days - giving a chance for rebounding to go uptrend. Do not trend against odds.

MACD cross up at 3 to 4 days. Either today or Friday is the short term reversal. Still I wud think of going short as long as it is below 50 MA.

Trailing stops at 934.5.

Wednesday, August 10, 2005

10:09 pm - Trade #16 is triggered short @ 938.5

Trade #16 is triggered after 7 bar line change after MACD cross down.

Disaster stop loss is at 945.0 and trail to 937.5 pts.

The FKLI is below 50MA. Think of shorting and I believe the FKLI is reversing to long to short.

3:53 pm - Trade #15 Stop loss triggered

As soon as the market is opened, my stop is triggered at 948.
