The Broke Analysis

"Ano kaya alam ni DEUTSCHE that we don't? Insider siguro to!

 Wala namang bibili ng ganyan karami tapos papalugi lang."

These were the things my speculative mind dwelt on during my 

early years as a trader. Broker analysis. It was such a fun thing to

 do back then. I felt like I was some kind of detective looking for 

clues as to where the big mafia boss would strike next.

It gave me added conviction as to whether I would buy, hold or sell.

"Holding pa si TOWER, I'll sell when they sell."

"Ayan nanaman VENTURE the tsupitero! Ingat na!"

"Daming COL bumili. Time to sell."

I always focused on who was buying and didn't pay much 

detail as to who was selling.

It's funny when I think about it now.

Then one day, somebody told me about these... 

"pasaload" moves - where a client can move his or her shares 

to another broker overnight with less than a a hundred bucks.

I was dumbfounded.

(well not really everything but for the most of it, yes.)

I could still remember my dismay as I walked out of the room 

and verbally abused my cat. It was such a waste 

of precious time and energy.

I remembered all the setups I missed for fear of who was selling.

 And all the trap setups I bought because of following

 who was buying.

I was a fool.

So what if brokers and clients are selling at a loss?
It's not my money. For all we know they might be just 
newbies with lots of money to burn. And you definitely
don't want to follow those people.

Maybe that's why they call it Broker analysis?

Because at some point, you might just go Broke.

But after much study and getting my shit together, there was relief.

 Raw data in the charts proved that it was enough. 

That there was no need for me to study 

who's buying or selling.

Be it brokers with big foreign names or a group of retail COL

 clients or traders, and whether market makers and operators 
exist or not, well... 

It won't matter.

Because those cute candles are all I need.

PS : I would like to apologize to my blog readers for my previous

 posts that had broker analysis in it. I won't be deleting or 

editing those posts for me and for future readers to see 

how my journey went.

Bottom Fishing : SSI

Sample Journal

Trade Type : Bottom Fishing

Difficulty : Hard

Started buying at the close of 11.16.2015

And since I like to close my positions to significant whole

 numbers, added more the next day intraday. 1M shares can easily

be liquidated once momentum sets in and especially for a 

stock like SSI. I'll just have to sell in tranhces. Or not.

I wonder how far this will go. 

Crossing fingers it will be just like that FNI trade.

I was travelling while doing this trade.

Why do these kinds of near perfect setups pop up when I travel? 

I left some cash in case some quick tsupitas appear.
