Logs Plays Positions %P/L
1) Borg, MP 1.06M@0.270, 05/02/2016 -0.071%@0.255, 06/06/2016
2) PCA 390K@0.238, 05/05/2016 0.055%@0.255, 06/06/2016

1) Momentum Play (MP)

I thought this one was a "Borg" or a "Momentum" play due to the "GAP-UP" pattern spotted between its prior week's closing price of 0.250 (04/29/2016) and its following Monday's open price of 0.260 (05/02/2016). As a learner these are some of the plays I'm so keen to try out so got in at 0.270 with a bit of volume.

Boom!

2) PCA Play
Peso-Cost Averaging

Then quickly suffered a -4% loss on its day 1 (0.260c) - ILCI what?

Tumbled some more to -9% losses on day 2 (0.246c) - iLCi who?

And "ipit" further down to -12% losses on day 3 (0.238c) - told 'ya! 'tis not so LC!

Oh wait! you mean, Last Chance?

PCA at 0.238.


Ka-Boom!

  • Stop loss and trail stop makes more sense but how come BPITrade don't have them?

  • Must practice a proper "tranche" positioning!

  • Got PCA correctly this time but just wasted it due to BMS virus! (Bagger Head!)

  • Missed the +24.01% profit opportunity in just 11 days due to lack of exit plan after the lucky escape from the "ipit" zone!

  • Borg and Momentum setups must be played and realized sooner not later especially on its biggest move.

  • Found this is a GAP-ridden stock! Beware!

    • So ILCI!

    Indeed!

    East-West Banking Corporation Nalugi! Total Losses: -38.34% "ARRGGH!" :( (Click to enlarge) It's no longer my intention to sell this stock at the time but something strange happened with BPITrade wherein many investors and traders were forced to change password due to a system glitch "kuno" but still unable to login for long hours with our open orders and positions got hijacked and/or executed on that unforgettable day.
