Many people have asked me how to forecast the trend base on the results i show in my charts and also wonder how many trades do i usually do in a day. The following image below is one of the trades i have done recently. On average I do 20-30 trades a day. My highest is over a 100. During the economy downturn, i have took a break from the market as it is too dangerous. You can't beat the market because there are always sudden changes in the economy and market manipulation involved everyday. But that doesn't mean you can't profit. You can stay to the fundamentals and technical analysis and put yourself in a better position in the market. To me as a trader and investor, it is very important to have a enter and exit plan. You cannot buy or short a stock blindly. The market is n

US Market: Rolling Good Times Back? Yes, but not so soon.
US Market - Stocktaking. Stocks have remained resilient in recent weeks despite: Reports on sticky inflation. Confirmation that the Fed will hold interest rates higher for longer.

$XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$Both NIO NOP and XPEV XNGP are enabled for all China highways and roads where navigation is available as of a few weeks ago. China is a very different driving environment to the US.That's a significant development! Making NIO NOP and XPEV XNGP available on all China highways and roads where navigation is accessible indicates a major step forward in autonomous driving technology deployment. China's driving environment does indeed present unique challenges compared to the US, such as densely populated cities, complex road networks, and varying driving behaviors. Adapting autonomous driving systems to these conditions requires sophisticated technology and thorough testing. It'll be fascinating to see how t
$XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$$NIO Inc.(NIO)$While I agree this is more a hand out request or a stock grift. XPEV XNGP utilization is quite high. The problem is FSD cannot compare to Xpeng, NIO or Huawei ADAS. Nowhere close.It is highlighting an important distinction between XPEV XNGP and other autonomous driving systems, particularly in terms of their performance and utilization. If XPEV XNGP is experiencing high utilization rates while offering a superior driving experience compared to other FSD (Full Self-Driving) systems like those from NIO, Xpeng, or Huawei ADAS, then that certainly speaks to its effectiveness and popularity among users.
$XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$My personal view is if they can stabilize the NIO brand being a premium player in the 12-15k range/month in Q2 that's not a bad outcome in light of the pricing environment. XPEV seems to have hit a bit of a wall of late though X9 is like selling almost 2 G6 so there's that Stabilizing NIO as a premium player with consistent monthly sales in the 12-15k range, especially in a challenging pricing environment, could indeed be seen as a positive outcome. It demonstrates resilience and market acceptance of NIO's brand and products.Regarding XPEV, it's notable that while they may have encountered some challenges recently, the success of models like the X9 compared to previous models like the G6 showcases their

1,2,3,4 of 4 SOUN $SoundHound AI Inc(SOUN)$ Thoughts and possibilities. IMO could head up towards orange flags and into the green channel getting us out of the grey channel area we are at now. If grey channel/orange flag area fails, I believe we drop below blue flag area and head towards the purple channel/flag area for that gap shown on the daily chart and possibly that yellow flag area and then turn for the upside. We shall see how time plays out. Safe trading everyone.

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ McClellan Oscillator: Divergence Brewing?This is a technical analysis tool used to gauge market breadth, which refers to the participation of stocks in a market move. It helps assess whether a price move in an index like the S&P 500 is divergent from the underlying health of the broader market.Bullish Divergence: This occurs when the price of an index makes a new low but the McClellan Oscillator makes a higher low (compared to a previous low). This suggests that the decline in the index might be losing momentum, even though prices are falling. It can be a sign of potential future buying pressure and a possible price reversal.See the bullish divergence from Q3 2023, IF something similar is in progress (green dashed line), th
