Market Sentiment
What a year 2021 has been. The tiny SARS-CoV2 virus is still messing up with our daily lives. Just when things were starting to normalise, a newly discovered variant Omicron threw a curve ball causing some countries to halt or even reverse decisions to re-open borders.
As end of 2021 approaches, the market mood has dampened down quite a bit. The market breadth is not looking rosy, more stocks are below MA200 than above. The impeding QE tapping and interest rate hikes in respond to rising inflation by US Fed are weighing down market sentiment too.
In the trading landscape, a strong bull was dominating the market in the first three quarters of 2021. Major indices were breaking all time high, even cryptocurrency was making waves (pun intended, super volatile moves for $Bitcoin (BTC.CC)$ Bitcoin).
Covid-19 Theme
Feb 2021 saw the start of the largest vaccination drive than mankind has ever seen. Previous vaccination programmes were generally rolled out over years or decades. But the advancement of biotechnology has allowed us to access COVID-19 vaccine in unprecedented speed.
Moderna $Moderna (MRNA.US)$, BioNtech $BioNTech (BNTX.US)$, Pfizer $Pfizer (PFE.US)$, Johnson & Johnson $Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.US)$, Novavax $Novavax (NVAX.US)$, Astra Zeneca $ASTRAZENECA PLC (AZNCF.US)$ just to name a few obvious ones, roared to all time high. Did you catch the train? I took a small profitable swing trade with Pfizer. Nothing to boast about, purely practicing my trading skills based on breakout trend.
Good Trade Execution: Timing to Exit Trade Perfectly
One memorable trade in 2021 for me was with Open $Opendoor Technologies (OPEN.US)$. Been learning to read chart with Wyckroff method so it was great to be able to time my exit of Open perfectly before the price crashed.
This was the chart analysis and trading plan for my position on 22 Sept.
I tried to protect profit my trailing my stop loss. As the market unfolds, the news about Zillow $Zillow-C (Z.US)$ shook Open badly. Based on my analysis of the price action and volume, I moved my stop loss lower to wait for a rebound in order to exit the trade with profit. This manoeuvre helped me exited with 21% profit in around 6 weeks.
The biggest take away from this trade? Applying Wyckroff analysis of price action to manage my trade successfully despite drastic bad news.
Bad Trading Execution: Importance of Stop Loss
Think any trader would be able to tell you anecdotes of how stop loss either dented or saved their capital. Sharing a lesson of moving stop loss. After Nvidia $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ share split, I decided to initiate a long entry on 26 July at $193. The plan was to take advantage of the break out pattern fueled by the strong demand on chips. Given Nvidia is such a darling of both short and long term investors, the initial trading plan was to hold on to long position for as long as possible.
The price moved uptrend until hitting resistance at $231. Things were looking rosy and I was feeling very pleased with myself. Then came a minor correction to the magnitude of 15% from $231 to $195. It was nerve wrecking then. Everyday I would be checking on the paper loss and debating if I should close my position to protect whatever profit I had. I decided to move stop loss to $198. Luck was not on my side and the price touched $197 and reversed.
It was such a painful lesson. On hide sight, there was no reason for me to panic. No sudden increase in volume to suggest investors are dumping Nvidia. I should have just stay calm and allow the correction to unfold. I lost in this trade because I gave in to my panic and not sticking to trading plan.
Outlook for 2022
Current market condition seems to be rather uncertain. Nasdaq $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$, S&P $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ and Dow $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ all suffering corrections. There are many factors affecting the 2022 outlook. US Federal Bank meeting in mid Dec, Omicron concerns and its closely related national border policies will likely impact market condition. I would be very cautious in trading until things get more clarity. Stay away from stocks that corrected by 30% (e.g. U $Unity Software (U.US)$, Baba $Alibaba (BABA.US)$, Palantir $Palantir (PLTR.US)$), and monitor defensive counters such as PG $Procter & Gamble (PG.US)$, TSN $Tyson Foods (TSN.US)$.
Last Words
To me, trading is like an art of understanding the market forces. Is the bull or bear in charge currently? Do I expect a correction or continuation of trend?
The biggest lesson in 2021 from my trades is learning to execute trading plans with confidence. Trust my analysis of the market and not getting emotional.
For 2022, I certainly hope to be a consistently profitable trader by improving my chart analysing skills and trade execution.
Sharing this and hope for a better 2022 to all!

Have you thought... if only I have $10 million, I could have generated so much more money from my investments! Let's say, you really have $10 million given to you today, what stocks will you buy? Is it $Futu Holdings Ltd (FUTU.US)$ $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ or $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ ??
Will you go for a long-term investing strategy or short-term trading?

$Alibaba (BABA.US)$ Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) shares roared to life early in the week, and held their gains after the Chinese e-commerce and Internet leader replaced its chief financial officer. Macquarie Research analyst Ellie Jiang also gave Alibaba (BABA) high marks, saying that the company is building a "strong moat" around its merchant services business.

RMB multiyear high is good for Chinese stocks. You would know that I have been talking about RMB internationalisation for awhile. In fact, the strengthening of RMB is an indication that China's RMB internationalisation is progressing smoothly.
Yes you may have even read about the Harvard report that mentioned that China has become a leading global economic powerhouse as well as leading the world and competing for the number 1 spot against US and European countries for the tech leadership.
Donald trump's past presidency term has in fact further expedited this process in tech leadership as China spends more efforts to develop its own hard tech like chips, semiconductors, various hard parts for the tech... This at the same time, let China focus on the tech regulation such that there is narrative to say that chinese tech regulations would slow down the tech leadership of China. Another nice chess piece there for China, which this single move press down Chinese tech equities to such low valuation.
My prediction of 2022 is that Chinese tech stocks will return to normalcy in terms of pricing and risk premium will abate. The strength of RMB will expedite the outflow of RMB into the world so as to counter the RMB strength, which may hurt the exports.
So i expect the overseas investment regulation for domestic china citizens will be formalised in China such that Chinese citizens should be allowed to invest overseas in 2022. Will I be right? Only time will tell... But if this happens, this will benefit the chinese tech stocks... I am positioning my capital into selected chinese tech stocks for the best potential return going into 2022 and 2023.
