skyland - SEAL: Bullish. Have a support level of 1.21 and 1.1, resistance level of 1.4. If it broke out from 1.4 with volume it will go to an uncharted region. On weekly chart, it's shown that a spike formation, but need to see the condition for a few days, if it's confirmed to be a spike formation, the price will either drop or consolidate. TP of 1.57 and 1.67. Stop-loss/trailing stop at 1.00
bonus - PASDEC The scenario basically remain quite the same. Support level: 0.77/0.76 and 0.65 Resistance level: 0.84/0.85 and 0.93 It's now consolidating and if there's any break from the support level of 0.77/0.76 it will re-test the support level of 0.65. Stop-loss/Trailing-stop: 0.73
Posted by Lz Lee Weiping > Jun 27, 2014 12:46 AM bonus - PASDEC: Have a support level of 0.76 and 0.65. Resistance level of 0.80, 0.85 and 0.93 Judging from the increasing volume MA and the price trend from 18/06 to 26/06, the price trend will most likely fall due to a lot of support for the current price movement. Most likely is panic sell. Stop-loss or trailing-stop at 0.73.
Stage 4- Mark down which is very bearish. It has just broke the strong support line at $0.25 (support line turned into resistance line now) and further test support line 1 at $0.225. $0.225 looks very frail and support 2 at $0.205. Cut loss if $0.205 is violated. We would advise do not catch the falling knife.
Stage 2- Accumulation which is still very bullish. Now it is going through some consolidation with healthy volume. May found a new bottom at 0.955. A break above 1.05 with volume, it is expected to test its previous high 1.13.and the resistance 1 at 1.09. Support 1 is 0.985 and strong support at 0.955. Cut loss if 0.955 is violated
After reading on 1/7
The situation is still remain the same. Still going through some consolidation with healthy reduced volume between 0.985 and 1.02. A break above 1.05 with volume, it is expected to test its previous high 1.13.and the resistance 1 at 1.09. Support 1 is 0.985 and strong support at 0.955. Cut loss if 0.955 is violated
Sealink is expected to continued trending as the hourly chart and daily oscillators are hooking up at the positive region suggesting imminent resumption of uptrend.Weekly and daily charts shows positive signals.
Further upside targets are 0.675 and 0.69. If it manage to scale above 0.69 the next target will be 0.77. Immediate support is 0.655 and 0.63. A stop loss if 0.62 is triggered. Happy trading.
Soon Soon , on your request of SCOMIES, #Scomies touched cut loss level of 0.96 with low volume. Kindly update chart reading#
SCOMIES—After hitting high of $1.17 on 11/04 it consolidated to the low of $0.96 and evrytime it hit this important support Scomies rebounded. Today it touched this level again without violating it and you can expect some technical rebound from here. It is forming what look like Head & Shoulder pattern with neckline at $0.96 which has bearish implication if $0.96 is violated( That is why we put the Stop Loss level at $0.96 if violated.) It is expected to trade between $0.96 to $1.02 (Its immediate downtrend Line), a break above $1.02 with volume signal Price Reversal and should meet very strong resistance at $1.05. It is also entering into stage 3 of the cycle which is the distribution stage, depend on your entry price if Scomies cannot break above $1.02 you may want to Sell to release your capital for other moving stocks.Stop Loss if $0.96 is violated with volume.
Stay_foolish, May I ask about fitters. I am monitoring but not yet buy in. You mentioned 'healthy volume'...can you elaborate on this, for educational purposes. I thought the volume was rather thin. Thanks so much in advance.
Looks like all TCB experts are 'hard at work' on charts at this hour. Much appreciation to all of you.
Yes. It can defined as thin volume as well. A slowdown in volume is always the result of indecision on the part of investors. When they cannot come to consensus about fair value. volume slows and trading range narrows (most often rectangular in shape) as most investors move to sidelines and await more data. For consolidation pattern, it can last for several days, several weeks or several months. The period that follows consolidation is a Breakout, and this can trigger the buying signal.
Dear TCB, how can I recognize the breakout and buying signal. read a few books but don't think any of them give a clear indication of buying and selling signal. thank you for time. :)
Hi skyland, LCTH: This stock is very bullish. It broke out from the ascending triangle at $0.30 on 23/06 but fell back the following 3 days due to heavy selling. It found support @ $0.28 (formed by the gap up on 18/06) and started to move upwards the last 3 days resuming it bullishness. Please note that the 3 white soldiers candlesticks pattern formed indicates bullish bottom reversal signal. The immediate TP is $0.36 follows by TP2 - $0.395/$0.40. If it retraces, the immediate support is at $0.32, follows by $0.30 and $0.28 respectively. Stop loss at $0.26 if violated with volume.
Inwest88 - Good morning. Noted and appreciated. Still holding on to Eg. Yesterday wanted to buy Sign at 1.58 hoping it will breach 1.59. When it shot to 1.62, was reluctant to chase. Surged to high of 1.72 and settled at 1.67 at close. At times, got to take the plunge!
Inwest88- Yinson retraced to 2.80, the level I bought. Luckily disposed on Monday. Kenanga Research downgraded this stock to 2.30 only. Again difference of just 1 day makes so much difference!
kc18 , # Matrixcoool - Tks for yr advice on Seal. Managed to sell at 1.35. Indeed there is a big pullback on this stk! Luckily u highlighted to me. Tqvm. #
I am very happy you did set a Trailing Stop at $1.35 to exit by protecting your profits. You are on the right track to be a successful traders. The reason TCB encourages traders to set Trailing Stop on a winning stock is to take care of our emotion of Greed and Fear. That does not mean Seal would not get to your target of $1.50 later, but you will be spare of agony of capital tied up and stress and Fear that will it go lower?
tsy88 - it is never wrong to say that the market is so unpredictable. In the stock market there are no such things as profits if they are not realized. CCK gapped up too high. Not going to chase.
You may have missed Matrix post on Seacera. Anyway, below is his reading on it:-

Lottolearn,
I am happy you bought in SMRT and Seacera.
SEACERA--Broke its previous high of $0.975 with volume and into uncharted territory, next Strong resistance is at $1.00 and immediate target of $1.05 and beyond. I just scale in more shares after the breakout..
Still, remember to lock in profits by setting a Trailing Stop.
Bullish. Broke out on 23/5 with volume. Hit a high of 0.31 on 19/6 and based on the candles formation, you can expect it to consolidate before it trends higher. Immediate resistance = 0.31. Support 1 = 0.25 while support 2 = 0.235.
Update Reading: As expected, it went into consolidation and is currently testing its support at 0.25.
#Dear TCB, how can I recognize the breakout and buying signal. read a few books but don't think any of them give a clear indication of buying and selling signal. thank you for time. :) #
A very good and valid question. Breakout must have the following characters to qualify for the true breakout instead of Bull Trap. a) It must have a pattern preceeding it like Symmetrical Triangle, Bullish Flag,Rectangle Consolidtion,previous high etc. b) It must accompany by large volume at least 2-3 times 30MA average volume.But too large of volume you need to be careful it might be buying frenzy. c) A breakout normally lead to few percents rally follow by re testing of that breakout level. If the stock fell below that breakout level it is considering not valid or what we call a Bull Trap. So if you chasing a breakout stock do set your exit maybe 2-3 bits below that breakout in case of Bull Trap. d) After the breakout if the stock retested its Breakout level and stay above that is a clear Buy signal.
Hope this help.
SEACERA--Heading toward next target of $1.20/$1.23. For those that still holding on Seacera do set your Trailing Stop to protect your profits.
Dear Mat, Still holding on to some Seacera. may I ask what is the support/resistance (if any) from here on to the estimated target of 1.20/1.23. Thanks.
Nana88, Congratulation on Seacera which u r still holding..Me too.. Yesterday i raised my Trailing Stop to $1.04..(just nelow my TP1 of $1.05) I may raise again later since it is heading towards $1.20/$1.23..i am not on my pc..using my hp now.
sunshine96-Bornoil Bornoil is currently uptrending breaking out frm its downtrend line.This morning it was trying to break the 0.70 resistance nicely trending above the bollinger band. Once the 0.70 is broken with volume the next level will be 0.725,0.745 and 0.77.
Immediate supports are 0.66 and 0.645. As stop loss at 0.63 level. Happy trading.
I just read your post you still holding on Seacera, wow I sold too early? How you work out the Trailing Stop.I want to learn and trade like you. I bought Eforce, follow you.
After hitting a high of 2.13 and ex-dividend, it is now in a correction mode. It seems to be settling on its support level at 1.93. Strong support can also be expected at 1.90. However, if the 1.90 support is penetrated, it would retrace further. So, you may want to set a stop loss at 1.89. Immediate resistance is at 2.00.
Sorry, we do not advise traders on buying and selling stocks. Trading decisions belong to you and you yourself only as each individual has their own risk profile and financial budgets. However, should you decide to trader this stock, we suggest you draw up a trading plan before you trade and do remember to set a stop loss in case the trade turn against you.
lottolearn --Trailing Stop is a exit point for me when i am on a winning trade. For stock trading no one can sell at the top all the time. Normally the Trailing Stop is the amount i am willing to give back if the uptrend turns against me. It is normally the next support or earlier resistance turn support. If the stock keep moving up i will keep increasing my Trailing Stop to protect my profit unless the candlestick pattern shows price reversal.Then i may clear on any rebound. In stock trading, selling is the most difficult part because of our greed, selling early is fine as long as you make money. Making money is our main Focus here.Remember stock market is a zero sum game, you make money because someone else is losing.
