Reward 500 Tiger-coinsIs Stock Trading About Focusing on the Big Picture or Accumulating Small Gains?
Some say that in the ups and downs of the stock market, catching a few upswings can result in significant profits.
Yesterday in the Tiger community, one Tiger @原榭hara shared a single trade that made a profit of HKD 1 million, a substantial gain.
“Focusing on big pictures“ requires investors to identify undervalued assets and have the courage to buy at the bottom or short-sell when everyone is in a FOMO frenzy, placing large bets. Both approaches require courage and judgment.
While some tigers opt to seize arbitrage opportunities during market fluctuations, making small profits each time and accumulating them over time. For example, it's common to see @Barcode sharing her day trades.
If you can profit $50 a day, then $50*5 days *52 weeks can also bring a nice additional income of over USD 10,000.
Do you prefer making big gains over time?
Or accumulate small gains everyday?
Which strategy bring you more profits?
Which is harder for you?

you can supplement by trading daily, weekly, monthly for smaller gains.
both can bring you big big gains but I prefer investing over longer periods. less brain power needed. just leave there and do nothing.
sometimes got itchy fingers, so occasionally look at charts and do trading on options and stocks. [Happy]

“着眼大局”要求投資者識別被低估的資產，在大家陷入FOMO狂潮時，有勇氣抄底或做空，下大注，這兩種方法都需要勇氣和判斷力。
In trading, capital is key, but the strategy behind managing and growing that capital is what truly defines long-term success. Whether dealing with larger sums or more modest amounts, I focus on consistent, disciplined strategy to build wealth over time.
With professional experience in two stockbroker firms in New Zealand and Perth, Australia, and a major financial bank in New Zealand, I’ve developed a unique approach to the markets. My journey started from a young age when I began building my New Zealand portfolio, holding key stocks for the long term. These long-term holdings serve as the backbone of my NZ portfolio, providing stability while I also engage in short-term trades on Tiger to enhance capital growth.
My trading is rooted in pattern analysis, utilising formations such as ascending wedges, bullish flags, and double, triple tops and bottoms. These patterns allow me to read market sentiment and anticipate price movements, providing clear entry and exit points. I also incorporate Gann levels and Fibonacci retracements, which help me identify potential reversals and support/resistance zones with precision. This combination ensures that my trading decisions are both strategic and data-driven.
Capital size matters, of course. Larger capital allows for bigger absolute returns, but even smaller capital can grow significantly through compound interest and strategic gains. While the amount of capital plays a role, it’s the consistent percentage gains over time that truly matter. By managing both common stocks and options, I ensure that my portfolio grows sustainably while hedging risk during volatile market periods.
As Warren Buffett and other top investors emphasise, the real key to wealth building is compounding. Whether you’re starting with a small or large amount, growing your capital consistently makes the difference. Even small wins add up and contribute to larger, sustained growth. This philosophy, combined with technical precision, is at the core of my strategy.
I’m relatively new to options trading, having started just five months ago, and I’m still trading at a basic level. However, I’m eager to improve these skills over time, as options provide an exciting way to manage risk while maximising returns in certain market conditions. As I continue learning, I aim to integrate options more seamlessly into my broader strategy.
Tiger Brokers’ advanced platform allows me to execute trades seamlessly, combining both my long-term and short-term strategies across different asset classes. It also provides access to the technical tools necessary for chart pattern recognition, Gann analysis, and Fibonacci levels.
By blending advanced pattern trading, technical tools, and disciplined capital management with a growing interest in options, I’m building a well-rounded strategy for consistent gains over time.
Happy trading ahead. Cheers, BC 🍀

- Staying up late, analyzing markets, and connecting with my community of Tiger sisters?
- Sharing solidarity when we win, and supporting each other through rough waves?
- Exchanging (virtual) hugs and high-fives when our investments pay off?
That camaraderie and shared excitement are priceless.
