SembMar warrant sold

So today, SembMar went up to almost as high as yesterday's high. Sold off my warrants at 0.490 each, a 22% profit after taking brokerage fees into account.
However, my other STI component stock didn't do too well today, NOL, and I'm hoping that it'll bounce back next week.

My mistake, after using chartnexus to plot NOL, was buying at the resistance.
However, The technical indicators for NOL seem to be bullish, yet, NOL keeps decreasing day by day! sigh.

Anyway, for NOL:
As you can see:
MACD is above 0, MACD line is slightly, just slightly, above the signal line. Both above 0, so this is a bullish sign.
RSI: No trend.
20day MA and 50day MA both below stock price
Stochastic essentially giving same signs as MACD
PSAR: Bullish.

Yet, stock price is falling!
Oh well, I've decided to cut my loss at 0.225-0.230 region next week.

Next target for momentum trading will be Keppel Corp, IndoAgri and Olam, all of which fell today.

Greed and Fear

This morning, one of my warrant's underlying, SembCorp Marine, powered thru and went up to 5.1++. My warrant therefore moved up to 0.500, 25% more than my purchase price of 0.400. At that price, I would have had earned 300+, a 20+ % return in less than a week. However, greed got the better of me and I decided to wait for SembMarine to rise even more. Unfortunately, it went down all the way to yesterday's closing price of 5.08, leaving me with alot less profit. This has taught me a valuable lesson, to be disciplined not only in stop loss, but also profit taking target. once I have set a profit taking level, I should stick to it, and not hope for better price, since i am, after all, speculating.

Oh well, hopefully sembmar will rise to today's level and I will take my profits tomorrow. =)
