Secura (43B): Potential Mark Up Technical Observations: Secura has been trading in the Mark down stage since earlier March 17. Selling volume during the period were larger than usual. However the enormous selling volume begins to ease off as the stock touches S$0.135 level and begin trading rangebound with accumulation behaviour. The stock has been trading in range bound for about 2 months before seeing a recent increased in trading activity. The above provided us with technical reasons of a potential mark up with 1st target at S$0.15 and 2nd targe at S$0.16.

The TWSE continues to trade with momentum, despite Panama cutting ties with Taiwan in recent politcal development. Taiwan's multiple year rally is mostly powered by the outperforming technological stocks.

Today, we saw Noble Group traded up +S$0.15, +48%, closing at S$0.475 with news of company obtaining 4 months extension to their current credit facilities. Please don't be misunderstood that the company has turned around because of a credit extension. Personally, the company is still nowhere near to a turnaround. Its bonds due in 2022 traded continue to trade near its low of 37/39 US cents on the US, while its credit default swaps continues to imply a high default probability of 94 per cent. Source: Business Times, 19 Jan 17 Noble Group today experienced what we call Short Squeeze, in Technical Analysis. Eager shorters scumbling to cover back their shorts at all means. They could be human traders, robots or both.

This implies that sellers are weak with inability to force down the sha...

However, do make some time for some "backend" activities to grow as a trader. Here is a short list of them.

This reduces surprises or allow the trader to have an understanding of the current macro environemnt. And of course, analyse the charts for the week ahead and probable trade set-up.

Also review your trading method/strategy for further impr...
