My Tiger Brokers username is spiders. And just like a spider scuttling across the floor when someone turns on the lights, I trade stocks with pure kancheong energy.
When I buy a stock and see the price dip, my survival instincts kick in. I panic. I quickly set a limit sell price—just a teeny, tiny bit above breakeven—because profit is profit, right? This has happened many, many times.
Some recent kancheong trades:
-
Bought APA at $20.82, sold at $20.97
-
Bought CRI at $51.16, sold at $51.46
-
Bought AES at $10.08, sold at $10.14
Big wins? Seldom. Case in point: I bought SOXS at $17.87 and sold at $17.98. Felt smart for taking a quick profit. Then I checked later—SOXS had shot up to $22.86. I could’ve made way more… if only my kancheong spider brain didn't freak out.

But hey, being a kancheong spider isn’t always bad! Take SOXL, for example. I bought it at $26.18 and sold on the same day at $26.32. On Friday? It’s chilling at $22.73. If I had held on, I’d be holding onto an unrealized loss instead.

Small Wins, Big Picture
At first glance, my trading style looks like a squirrel hoarding crumbs instead of feasting on a buffet. But over time, all these small profits stack up, and I do end up making money—just in the most kancheong way possible.
Of course, there are exceptions. There are four stocks I’m zen about:
-
OXY, RC, TLH, and TLT For these, I don’t panic. I buy, I hold, I sit back. Maybe my kancheong spider instincts know that some webs are worth staying on.
So, am I a legendary investor? No.
Am I a kancheong spider who panics, takes tiny profits, and sometimes regrets it? 100%. But hey, at least I sleep better at night.
