CRITICAL TRADINGSTRATEGIES

1. Specialize in a small universe of stocks - It is better to have a good understanding on 15-20

stocks, than an average knowledge on many of them.

2. Live news – By keeping an eye on live market news you can react quickly and benefit from

trading statements, company results and broker upgrades / downgrades.

3. Think sector – A trading update / profits warning on a stock may cause it to move too quickly for

you to take advantage of the news. However by trading in the same direction on a similar stock

in the same sector can give you the opportunity to benefit from the news.

4. Know when companies are reporting – When a stock has reported results, the price can move

significantly in either direction before they are open to trade. Therefore make sure you know when

your stocks and other large stocks in the same sector are due to report.

5. Technical analysis – Trade ranges on charts and if a stock breaks out in either direction then

close the position immediately if it is going the wrong way or run it for longer than usual if it is

moving in the right direction.

6. Make use of Level 2 – By looking at the total amount of orders on both the bid and the offer,

you can judge which direction a stock maybe moving in the short term.

7. Set your objectives and stick to them – Upon opening a trade make a note of your stop loss

and the profit you are happy to take from the trade and STICK to them.

8. Trade with the market, not against it – Try to trade stocks in the same direction as the market

is moving. (i.e: If the market is in an uptrend then stick to mainly longs in your portfolio).

9. Keep an eye on commodity prices – Keeping a close eye on commodity prices will help in

trading many stocks. Exploration companies (miners and oils) tend to move in line with rising

commodity prices (metals and oil). Where as, food producers tend to move in the opposite

direction to soft commodity prices.

10. Watch out for good news on heavily shorted stocks – Positive news on a stock that is heavily

shorted can cause the move to the upside to be more severe than usual due to normal buying

and short closing.
