Only those with "genuine??" divine powers will be able to tell u by when, n dun believe them. stay far, far away from them.
To succeed in trading, I always said:
"Learn to master TA n u are the master of your own trades."
"Learn how to fish n u can fend for yourself forever, relying on others n forever u r dependent on others n at their mercy"
"There is no easy way n short-cut to success in life, including trading, all are own hardwork, u need to learn the tools of the trade"
U can download the free charting software from www.chartnexus.com (no need to get the paid version, all these can be self-learn, dun waste your money, instead self-learn the skills n use tat money to trade).
I self-learnt, see how analysts do it and practice by covering up the candles and test my knowledge and hone my skills
till I m quite confident b4 start trading bcos the mkt is merciless, I rather save the money to trade and multiply it.
Those TA courses, wat they teach, all are from books, nothing new.
For those paid software,even after the software scan, still need our analysis, cannot assume it is 100% correct, as nothing can replace the human brain and knowledge as analysis is an art of how individual interpret, no matter how much they input all the scientific knowledge into the software
If u are not sure, post your charts n hopefully some forumers good in TA will exchange pointers with u.
To know how to post, search the forum for "tinypic.com"
To succeed in trading, my sincere n genuine advice to newbies:
"Learn to master TA n u are the master of your own trades."
"Learn how to fish n u can fend for yourself forever, relying on others n forever u r dependent on others n at their mercy"
"There is no easy way n short-cut to success in life, including trading, all are own hardwork"
I had created 3 threads dedicated to newbies under "General", "Trading Techniques":
1. "Learning TA" - websites where u can learn TA for free but of course, TA is not infallible, thus need to set stop-loss)
2. "Some recommended good Trading and TA books" - of course u can also buy TA books.
3. "Advices to newbies" particular the 3 golden mantras.
Take your time to read and learn, dun rush, remember "Rome was not built in one day"

Dear Friends,
There is little downside for Midas which is poised to move up along with the slew of announcements of new contracts coming soon. Just accumulate and let it grow ! Take profit when it touches $1 and buy on weakness again

From Next Insight:
Railway-building frenzy in China | ![]() |
![]() |
Written by Andrew van Buren (China correspondent) | |
Tuesday, 25 August 2009 | |
The following is a translation by our China correspondent, Andrew van Buren, of a recent article on www.fec.com.cn ![]() SGX-listed Midas Holdings designs and manufactures aluminium alloy products (above) for the production of train carriages.
BY YEAR-END 2008, China already had 29 key subway lines with 10 cities having a total of 776 kilometers of track. Annually, subway cars carried passengers on 2.21 bln separate trips last year. Beijing, Shanghai and 15 other cities have a total of 50 tracks and 1,154 km of lines still under construction, said Mr. Lu Kehua, director of the urban/rural section of the department of Construction Bureau at the State Council. Currently, there are approximately 27 cities in the initial planning stages for launching their own subway systems. Among them, 22 have received start-construction approval from the State Council. Up to 2015, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and 19 other cities will have built 79 subway lines totaling 2,260 km with total investment of 882.0 bln yuan. Earlier this year, the National Development and Reform Commission's (NDRC) Mr. Wang Qingyun, director of the infrastructure department, said the commission has already approved – or is on the verge of approving – 23 urban subway projects. Mr. Lu Kehua said that the above approved project tallies do not include those proposed subway systems still under construction. This means that in 2015, China will have a total of 158 lines totaling 4,189 km. According to information from industry insiders, the entire approval process exercised by the NDRC requires at least three levels of authorization, in addition to mandating that cities under consideration for a subway system must have at least three mln inhabitants and a gross domestic product (GDP) of over 100 bln yuan. In addition, projects should receive at least 10 bln yuan from local financing. And as for light rail urban lines, the required figures need only be 60% of those stipulated for subway lines. Currently, 50 cities across China have plans for such systems that meet or surpass all the above requirements. Is the credit nightmare over? Actually, this is not the first time in China’s relatively short period of rapid economic development that several cities have had simultaneous plans to develop their own subterranean mass transit systems. Some cities have had such dreams for decades and railcars can already be heard rumbling beneath many of their major street-level thoroughfares. Due to concerns that a herd mentality would ensue as cities sought to keep up with their peers in the public transport drive and the status and investment that such amenities bring, the State Council on at least two occasions issued a “stop work” order and a temporary moratorium on new project approvals to prevent a frenzied nationwide subway digging campaign from getting out of hand. In 1995, directive No.60 of the State Council issued such a “stop work” order and put a freeze on new project approvals. In October of 2002, the State Council once again ordered subway projects across the country to halt construction. Some of the more notable projects affected by this moratorium at the time were lines in Hangzhou, Shenyang and Shanghai’s M8 line. According to analysts, the main incentive for regulators to issue “stop work” orders is over fears that various subway projects have become bottomless pits with no clear timeframe for profitability, and with legacies that bequeath massive financial burdens to local communities for years on end. According to industry insiders, 700 mln yuan of investment is required for each kilometer of track, which many city officials consider to be far too exorbitant and out of their respective budgets. This led to two embarrassing examples of half-finished projects in the mid-1990s due to a sudden drying up of funds in both Chongqing and Qingdao. The conundrum is that a fast growing city economy will provide the required GDP to authorize a subway system, as well as a growing sense of pride mixed with some sense of entitlement among the hardworking denizens of the city. But fast economic growth also encourages riskier lending practices on more generous terms that can backfire and leave city officials and planners red-faced as they stand over half-finished holes in their downtown centers. “We are very happy to have this chance for development. If there was no global economic crisis, then applications and approvals would not be flowing in at this pace. It is both a function of the government’s drive to boost domestic demand and bolster the local economy,” said an expert on the ongoing Nanchang city subway project. |
Below is my 'Long-term" chart analysis for sharing and exchange pointers.
My TA chart is posted to share n exchange pointers with those TA practitioner whom believes in TA.
If u are a TA detractor, plse just ignore n refrain from peeping at my chart posting n start
making unconstructive comments and plse do not be so childish or lunatic as to abuse the
rating system by rating it as "bad post", accumulating for yourself and your
next generation, "bad" karma for your "bad" deeds.
If u think it is a bad post, then be constructive and kindly post your TA for sharing.
This is only my view n I may be right or wrong, so dyodd and SOBAYOR.
Take a look at SAR "long-term" chart cup and handle, Midas "long-term" chart (see below) also shows such formation, in the nascent stage.

Reminds me of my Golden mantra number 3:
(3) Cut losses short n let profit runs with trailing stops, we need to let profit runs as much as it can to cover all the losses
made n yet make net gains. When we hit the cut-loss, never be emotional, be mechanical, immediately exit n never regret even if later it goes up bcos if dun cut, wat if it continues to go down, preserving ammunition to fight another day is the key. We can always re-enter if there is another buy sign candles, even if buying at a higher price.

Midas too early to take profit..
look at the technical indicators, majority are in the early stages of entry..
why exit when it's in the early stages? don't sound correct to me..
DYODD
Now Midas is preparing to move up to the next target .
Hi raymondho n startrader , I agreed that this counter is in short term weakness , but interestingly , if the 10MA does not provide support , then the 30 MA is always there to stop the falling price . Since May09 this trend has never fallen out of the 30MA which provides very strong support to the share price .In TA charting , only 30 days simple moving average (30MA) is to distiguish between the upward n downward movement of the long term share price movement .Obviously the uptrend is intact , any pulling back to the 30MA become golden opportunity for buying in . If Fibonacci theory is to materialize , then the price moves up to $1.05 is not impossible , for it has already crossed the 23.67% mark at 75 cents . I m not promoting this counter , until now I have not buy a single lot yet .

Dun chase now, then when?? Is it till it hit grossly overbought condition like Genting, which iswaiting for musical chairs to stop.
Reminds me of the "Greater Fool Theory" n "Irrational Exuberance"

Patience has its virtues and proves all those naysayers tat bad-mouthed Midas wrong.
Volume had exceeded yesterday's volume within less than 2 hours of trade and Trade Summary shows heavy buy-up.
Congrats especially to those who followed my postings and chart analysis and dared to buy since last few days when it presents many good opportunities when it bounced off the 15ema and 25ema with tight stop-loss if it close below the 25ema or 65ema.
Peronally, I will exit if it breaks and closed below the 65ema for 2 continuous days and the 3rd day, there is no reversal sign or bullish harami

Every cloud has its silver lining, every dog has its day.
Patience has its virtue, better than chasing those risky "hot potatoes" like Genting
