Seasonally SEP has be quite a bearish month for the markets but this year seems to be the opposite. Last 3 trading days left for SEP and let's see how it will end.
Have been busy working on my invetsments and trading strategies and haven't been posting much.![]()
Here's a quick post for SEP 2024.

Great way to park your cash while waiting for opportunity or just manage your idle cash!
Started to deposit via smartsave in Sep 2023 to around Aug 2024. Amount fluctuates up and down around US$50-150K but have since redeem all and start to deploy into the markets. As we are seeing rate cuts in the horizon i am taking a more aggressive approach to manage the free cash flow.
Having said that will still be using smartsave to manage the idle cash once i have more cash flow coming an...

This Sat JHS might give us a glimpse of what the Sep FOMC would likely do. Although Chair Powell will probably not commit to any cuts just yet, his tone and speech should give us some clues. All the datas are lining up for a cut and I do believe for a 0.25% cut to kick things off. ![]()

Last week saw one of the most volatile week since 2020 where $CBOE Volatility S&P 500 Index (.VIX.US)$ Spike over 60 plus in one single session before pulling back. That was a tough one for all traders with leveraged open long positions. I for one have not seen this before and strangled to come up with what to do. 😂

Wow! what can i say about Jul 2024! The only down month for the year “hopefully” but yet was the Best month for me!
Worse month because - Up to 10 July we were hitting all time highs and 11 July we saw the turn and it was fast and it was furious! 📉😔 Lost all my profits gain in June and more! Did some hedging using options (Buy puts or Bear put spreads) on $SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY.US)$ $Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ.US)$ and short the $E-mini S&P 500 Futures(DEC4) (ESmain.US)$ ...

What I am looking out for in Jul and Q3 that may potentially move the market.
1. Non farm payrolls 5/7 - Looking if the labour market in the US continues to show weakness. if so that will help in planning of my trades set up for the month and T3. If not woll have to stay nimble and adjust accordingly.
2. CPI datas on 11/7 - Will see how the numbers are playing out and if we are seeing continuation of slowing inflation numbers. This helps to further determine the sta...

I am in finance for over 20 years but only really started trading my own capital at the start of 2022 Bear market 
and lost over 35%! But that keep me even more determined to make back the losses and more! Learnt the hard way on how to manage the downside. Don’t be afraid to pay some learning fees to the market. But cut losses fast and keep the losses not too big. And learn from the good trades and the bad ones. 
As we end the first half of trading in 2024! Here's some recap and lessons learnt.
YTD performance Moomoo portfolio - Up 27.60% thankful for the performance and will continue to work hard for 2H 2024! Lets go!
Recap Jun - P/L took a hit on 28/6 as major Tech pulls back and my $Nike (NKE.US)$ down almost 20% 😂 but overall Jun is still the best month for me!

Now only focus on investing in great company at fair price and using options to enhance the returns and income.After the first week of trading, S&P edge up 1.32% to close at 5346! $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ But this coming week is a crucial week as CPI release on 12/6 and FOMC on 13/6. Traders will be looking at these data for clues of when the rate cuts will be and how it may move the markets in June! I am watching closely too!
