What has the market taught pcwSg? (Week 2/4)

The past week Mostly sideways action, with a gap up on Friday. [Bless] [Bless]  Lesson Sideways movement confirmed but not as many gaps as expected. The calm before the storm... [Blush] [Blush]  Such a period can be seen as "consolidating", building upeven more momentum for next week's potential crazy moves. [Allin] [Allin]  Looking at individual stocks Looking at 5 days % change Special mention to $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ , gapping up from all the positive news. [Call] [Call]  While other mega caps experienced slight money rotating out to other stocks. Looking forward Expect a week with high volatility and uncertain direction

What has the market taught pcwSg? (Week 4/4)

The past week On Daily timeframe On 5D timeframe Constantly gapping down during off-market, and closing mostly sideways. [Blush] [Blush]  Lesson With multiple gap downs, it means the market is reacting strongly to certain news or data. Such a gap down structure, leaves many gaps for a potential gap fill.[Wow] [Wow]  This means there is a high chance of seeing a strong upwards move before the market continue its way, regardless of going upwards or downwards.[Blush] [Blush]  Looking at individual stocks 5D change % for top constituents Mega caps together with overall marlet, down slightly. [Gosh] [Gosh]  $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ was one of the oddities this week inching upwards. Nothing much happening

Over liquidation again...

Another story about pcwSg's liquidation [Facepalm]  [Facepalm]  The Original Trade Did a debit PUT spread of 477/475 thinking $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$  will continue going down on Friday.[Eye]  [Eye]   Another complaint about multi-legged order on Tiger is that it cannot be placed for 0DTE options, which is a hassle... It would be nice if it only kicks in during the second half of the trading session instead for the whole day. (eg cannot place multi-legged 0DTE options only after 1pm EST)[Bless]  [Bless]   The Liquidation The 477 PUT was liquidated since SPY didnt stay below 475. Am actually quite happy with Tiger's liquidation

Liquidation disaster

Using Tiger for 0DTE option buying strategies, just to speculate when i have a strong view on the market and if the premium is reasonable. [Allin] [Allin]  Bought a SPY 408-409 CALL spread for 0.07 (0.15-0.08), expecting the market to continue creeping upwards. [Call] [Call]  However, it got liquidated for 0.30 (0.67-0.37) when it would have been a full 1.00 profit at expiration since SPY closed above 409. [Facepalm] [Facepalm]  The worse part, it also sold off my auto-invest position in $Devon(DVN)$  [Helpless] [Helpless]  Seems like just parking small money in a small Tiger account to speculate is a bad idea... Auto liquidating all my assets may be a sign

Tiger's Memorabilia Adventure rewards guide

As the day of collecting rewards for completing TIGER cards draws near, there needs to be more thought and planning in what to redeem.Used some points to redeem a Silver Futures voucher but it was a bad idea... Here's why:Have not traded futures before, so naturally thought that it costs around USD20 to buy a contract and just need to buy 3 contracts to use up the USD50 voucher, totalling around USD60.WRONG.It actually requires around USD10,000 per contract as Initial Margin... This means USD30,000 to buy 3 contracts to use up the USD50 voucher.Silver futures margin requirementEven the Micro Silver Futures would take USD2,000 Initial Margin each for a total of USD6,000 Initial Margin requirement.USD50 futures vouchers are undoubtly the best use of points, but do note the margin requirement

Tiger's Easter Egg Hunt Disney Share Guide

Seen afew comments asking about this, decided to dedicate a post for this topic. [Eye] [Eye]  The T&C related to Disney share The Blue box Firstly, everyone will get 0.5 Disney share for getting the first Easter egg. But this doesnt translate to any prize, unless you refer at least 1 new user with deposit... This is mentioned in: The Red box This part states that the amount of Disney share must be more than 1.0 for it to be "activated" and awarded. Anything 0.9 and below will be forfeited and voided. [Pitiful] [Pitiful]  The Green box With anything below 0.9 translating to nothing, only 1.1 and above will translate to actual Disney shares.  This is because: No referral(0 bonus chances earned) + 2 (default chances)*[0.2 Disney shares] = 0.

Event: Perfect Goals points/redemption guide

Like it that this event has many components. ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽ The core component is earning points: -maximum points each game: 100 points -number of chances from daily tasks: 4 -total number of days in event: 53 As such, the total points one can get from daily tasks excluding referal tasks and one-time tasks is: But normally not all 5 goals are perfect, the first 2 shots are slower so on average it is plus minus 70 points per game: ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽ Next component is redemption: Redemption chart 21,200 points would be equivalent to US$200 which is very generous. The key would be to snatch the highest value vouchers ASAP, else the same amount of points could only redeem a combination of lower value vouchers. ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽ Next component is team building/card collection, points can be used to upgrade cards t

What has the market taught pcwSg? (Week 3/4)

The past week Crazy moves as anticipated from all the economic data releases.[Gosh] [Gosh]  Overall trend is still going upwards.  Expect most pullbacks to experience V-shaped recovery as current market participants are acclimatised to recovery after pullbacks from the most recent experience, and will continue to stay this way until proven otherwise. [Onlooker] [Onlooker]  Lesson High volatility environment is fun to see, but a rollercoaster ride if one cannot handle seeing the moves.[Blush] [Blush]  For long term traders, just sit on your hands and enjoy the ride.

Liquidation for multi-legged options

As someone with a small account and always allocating almost all funds into something, liquidation is very common... [Cry]  [Cry]   However, for multi-legged options, would like to see both legs liquidated together. Liquidation already feels bad for a trader, being liquidated in an inefficient/illogical way feels worse...[Mybad]  [Mybad]   Recent liquidation Did a CALL Credit spread on $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ . Only did 1 contract each to test out the multi-legged system, therefore dollar amount loss is very small. [Victory]  [Victory]   The liquidation The 424 CALL in Orange got liquidated: Liquidations happens mostly at

Happy Halloween with $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ On Halloween day itself, time to Trick or Treat... But before that, heres an update and some suggestions. Update: High value vouchers still far out of reach... Game is difficult and chances are not plenty. The USD 100 voucher needs 7500 points... With good performance during the game, around 250 games is needed. That would mean completing all available tasks and 40+ referrals... Not to mention the even higher USD 300 voucher at 9000 points. Suggestions: 1. lesser points needed for prizes. 2. easier game 3. more chances 1: Lesser points for prizes is straight forward and just needs a change in the settings. 2: Easier game would be in
