Do Your Trade Focus on the Big Picture or Accumulate Small Gains?

Yesterday in the Tiger community, a user shared a single trade that made a profit of 1 million yuan, a substantial gain. Some say that in the ups and downs of the stock market, catching a few upswings can result in significant profits. Some investors opt to seize arbitrage opportunities during market fluctuations, making small profits each time and accumulating them over time.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ the effects of a strike are going to derail future rate cuts. when goods cannot make it into an economy prices go up demand remains constant supply is reduced therefore too much demand chases too few goods prices go up that's economics 101 when prices go up if you're the ass vice president you think that's price gauging because she's clueless aside from her being a moron the effect is consumer prices go up and if CPI increases it is a lagging number that chairman Mao will not receive for a month minimum but will show inflationary pressures are increasing to the economy. so if this strike based off of these mob Union dock workers continues for any extended period of time you can kiss futur

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ normally i follow big gains over long period. But if the price movement already hit the target price over a small period, then it is time to sell and reap the profits [Allin]  
$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ When trading with TIGR, focusing on the big picture or accumulating small gains depends on your investment goals, risk tolerance, and market analysis. Big Picture Focus: Pros: - Capturing major trends and market movements - Potential for substantial gains - Less emphasis on short-term market fluctuations Cons: - Higher risk exposure - Requires strong market analysis and timing - May miss opportunities for small, frequent gains Accumulating Small Gains: Pros: - Lower risk exposure - More consistent returns - Compounding effect of small gains Cons: - May miss major trends and substantial gains - Requires frequent trading and monitoring - Higher transaction costs Consider a hybrid approach: - Allocate a portion of your portfoli

I think both work for me as I am still in red and wishing to break even.  Of course, big gain over time will be more satisfying because it shows that it is worth the wait or time spent but small gains every day also not bad as it could be the money for your morning coffee. Bit by bit might be the money for an exclusive fine dinner or travel fee. As of now, I prefer small gain bit by bit. Keep some cash in hand whenever I need it, which is better than holding the loss for a long time.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ I think this will be worth while to watch 
Ah, the age-old debate: big fish or small fry? I've always been a fan of the "small gains" approach. It's like those tiny, adorable kittens that you just want to cuddle all day. Sure, they might not be as impressive as a majestic lion, but they're consistent, reliable, and less likely to maul your face. I mean, let's be honest, the "big picture" strategy sounds great in theory. Find an undervalued gem, sit back, and watch it soar. But in practice, it's like trying to predict the next viral TikTok dance: you can never be quite sure. And let's not forget the heart-pounding anxiety of holding onto a losing position, hoping against hope that it'll turn around. On the other hand, with the "small gains" approach, you're essentially playing a game of chess, not checkers. Every little move counts.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Deciding between focusing on the big picture or accumulating small gains depends on your investment goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon. Both approaches have merit, but they cater to different strategies and objectives. 1. Focusing on the Big Picture (Long-Term Growth) Advantages: Compound Growth: Long-term investments allow you to benefit from compounding returns, where reinvesting dividends and capital gains can result in significant wealth accumulation over time. Less Stress: By focusing on the big picture, you avoid the stress and anxiety that come from short-term market volatility. Long-term investors tend to weather market downturns better because they focus on the overall growth trajectory rather than daily fluc

As October approaches, I have been reflecting on my past trades and considering different approaches to the market. It is interesting how opinions on investing versus trading can vary significantly. Some people argue that investing is superior because it allows for the accumulation of dividends and long-term gains. By holding quality stocks or assets over the years, one benefits from compounding and the steady growth of their portfolio. The idea is that time in the market outweighs the temptation to time the market, and those who stay invested through market cycles often come out ahead in the long run. On the other hand, there are those who believe that trading can be more advantageous, especially for those looking to capitalize on short-term opportunities. The argument here is that consis

How I made 38% profit from PDD

When the stock price of PDD (Pinduoduo Inc.) is above its Bollinger Band, it can be considered a bullish signal. This made me hold on to my remaining shares  Bollinger Bands: Bollinger Bands are a technical analysis tool developed by John Bollinger. They consist of a moving average (usually 20-period) and two standard deviations plotted above and below the moving average. The bands expand and contract based on volatility.$PDD Holdings Inc(PDD)$  $PDD Holdings Inc(PDD)$   Above the upper band: When the stock price breaks above the upper Bollinger Band, it indicates that the price is moving higher than its recent average price, and volatility is increasing.

When considering investment strategies, both big gains over time and accumulating small gains each day have their merits. Yet, I prefer making big gains over time for several reasons: 1. Less Frequent Monitoring: Focusing on long-term investments allows me to avoid the stress of daily market fluctuations. I can make decisions based on comprehensive research rather than emotional reactions to short-term market changes. 2. Significance of Big Gains: Large gains often come from identifying major trends or shifts in the market. These "big wave" opportunities can lead to substantial profits, particularly if invested in robust companies or industries poised for growth. 3. Balanced Approach: While I prefer long-term gains, I recognize the value of small trades. Occasionally engaging in smaller tr

In Singapore, discussions around success are common, and the perception of what defines success often follows a traditional path. For children, success is typically measured by academic achievement—good grades are seen as the key to future opportunities. For adults, this often shifts to professional accomplishments, with a stable and prestigious career being the hallmark of success. And, of course, financial success is highly valued, with accumulating wealth seen as an essential goal. In this context, investing in stocks is one of the popular avenues for attaining wealth, with the hope that picking the right stocks—though a challenging and sometimes luck-based endeavor—can lead to significant financial gains. However, while money and material success are important to many, it is crucial to

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Big picture for me, im enjoying the gains on long options, and recently i have gone short and made yummie returns but for the most part, I prefer buying long calls and holding. But its all about profit.  For me, a day or a week, even a month is too risky. Then again knowing reduces risk. If you know everything you possibly can about a stock going long or short is not as risky.  Been looking at the new function on tiger with the easy put. Ok so $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ $Costco(COST)$ are all options. Tsla no thanks I don't get that. nvda, its too new in my portfolio. But cos
