After selecting a bundle of high-quality stocks in the stock screener, I will have five shortlisted stocks. As a dollar cost averaging (DCA) guy, I will allocate fixed โxxxโ amount for monthly investment, unless there is an exceptational-to-good-to-miss stock and chance that hardly find, I will likely only press the trade button 12 times a year.
Usually, i will see the GMMA indicator of all my shortlisted 5 stocks and decide which one has the most suitable price to buy. Once the analysis is done, i will press the โtrade buttonโ based on my monthly budget. Other than looking at this main chart, i will also consider, the current news, the latest periodic financial statements, the financial ratios, and some comments found on the forum before pressing trade button.
As a DCA guy, I press the trade button consistently once a month, with almost fixed amount monthly so I do not perform panic buying. There are times when the market is really unfavourable to trade, then i may hold the trade press abit longer and trade slightly later maybe on the next following month.
I treat my stock trading as consistent as possible so there is no shock big win or big loss. As I do not have a strong heart, I do not think I can withstand the sudden joy from windfall or otherwise. I prefer to set my objective and do my periodic DCA with the help of GMMA and some other tools that I mentioned earlier and water my investment tree regular. I believe I should see my investment tree bears fruits in near futu-re for sure!
My 1 cent worth of advice.
Good Luck!
Renee1007 : Thanks for sharing.
NANA123 : Me too! Before I trading, I have to look at everyone's opinions before I press the "trade" button. I am often puzzled.
Qwinbie OP NANA123 : Yes, that is exactly what I felt, puzzled. Especially just before the press button time.
