RISK REWARD RATIO EXPLAINED (RRR) 📍

One way to know if your system is working is to understand the concept of Risk and Reward.

Risk Reward Ratio can help you manage your risk and protect your capital while maximizing potential return. It also gives you a complete picture on which trades to take. While there is no golden rule on RRR, it helps if you combine this with other trading metrics (win rate) to examine your trading performance.

How to compute for Risk Reward Ratio? 🤔

You have to determine this 3 points first:
1. ENTRY PRICE
2. TARGET PRICE
3. STOP LOSS PRICE

Suppose you are buying a stock at Php 100 per share. Your initial target price is set at Php120 and your stop loss price is set at Php 90.

Given the above example, your RRR is 1:2.
This means that you are willing to risk Php 10 per share to make an expected return of Php 20 per share.

You've already identified the RRR - how can this be of help? Combine it with one important trading metric: Your Win Rate.

Your win rate is how many times you win out of all your executed trades. If you make 10 trades a month and you win 4, your win rate is 4/10 or 40% for that month.

Risk Reward Ratio and Winning Rate
1:1 RRR - 50% win rate
1:2 RRR - 33% win rate
1:3 RRR - 25% win rate
1:4 RRR - 20% win rate

This means that, if your taking trades with 1:2 RRR you have to atleast have a winrate of 33% to offset the risk or have a winrate higher than 33% to trade profitably.

As the RRR increases the required winrate decreases.

But make no mistake, trading higher RRR doesn't automatically mean you have an edge. Trading with a low winrate can be emotionally and psychologically challenging so you have to discover the perfect balance.

Lastly, you also have to take into consideration, the position size. While I will discuss this separately, you can compute this using this formula:

Risk Per Trade / Difference between Enrty Price and Stop Loss Price = Position Size.

I hope this helps you trade the market with more confidence and conviction. 🙂

5 KEY EXIT TRIGGERS WHEN SELLING A STOCK📍

This is one of the hardest decision you'll have to face as a trader. The two golden rules in trading is to 'keep your losses small' and 'never let your profits turn into a loss'. 🙂

A trader can develop a rules-based approach when participating in the market. Here are some options you may consider when deciding to close your trades:

1. Break of major support - Look at the bigger picture. Short term flactuations are normal movement of prices but support areas should be respected. Establish key support levels that when its violated, you automatically sell. Setting your timeframe to 1MONTH or 1WEEK per candle let's you zoom out the chart that allows you to have a wider scope of historical price movements.

2. Stop-Loss point hit - This level can be different for every trade/trader. This will depend on your entry point and Risk Reward Ratio (RRR). A tighter stop-loss is required if the market is volatile. Don't put your stop-loss on obvious levels as this will kick you out of the trade repeatedly.

3. Target price hit - This isn't easy as it sounds. 😉 Why? Because why would you sell a position if you are actually at a gain? AND, you FEAR that the trade may go even higher. There are two ways to do this: (a) Set an initial target price based on your RRR. If the trend is still intact, and the momentum is strong, then hold. Adjust your TP according to the strength of the trend. (b) Set a target price, once TP is hit, sell half. This way you can still ride the trend while keeping your initial profit. If the trend reverses, then you are happy you sold half. Win-win.

4. Trend reversals - There are several trend reversal patterns you may study to help you decide when to sell (Head and Shoulders, Double Top, Triple Top, Rising Wedge, etc). While these patterns are helpful, some of them may fail. Be very cautious when spotting these patterns in your chart.

5. Drastic change in fundamentals - Understanding the business is also crucial in your decision making process. If there are major changes in the core business of the company, or its products, this may also affect investor sentiments. Change in management and declaring consecutive net losses can be a signal that there is a problem with the company. Due diligence is a MUST!

Getting out of the trade can be very hard especially if you've lost substantial amount of capital. This will clear your mind with your initial bias and let's you examine the trade properly.

I hope this helps you trade the market with more confidence and conviction. If you have questions feel free to comment below. 👌

TRADING TOOL101: SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE 📍

One of the basic concepts used in technical analysis. The idea is very easy to understand but some traders are forgetting how important it is. This is one powerful tool that many technicians utilize as a basis to determine important levels of price movement. 🙂

To put it simply:

SUPPORT(S) = High Demand/Buying Interest
RESISTANCE (R) = High Supply/Selling Interest

Once these areas are identified, it can be a potential entry/exit points that can maximize your returns and protect your capital.

You can create a trading plan using these areas by simply adding other parameters to buy/sell your positions. Here are some options you may use:

1. In a sideways trend, you may notice certain levels that when 'touched', the price goes to the other direction. By using a horizontal line and plotting your support and resistance, you can identify where you can buy (support) and sell (resistance) your positions. How can I confirm if these levels are my support/resistance? By how many times those levels are hit. In that sense, waiting for a sideways trend to develop can really test the patience of other traders.

2. If the trajectory of the price is uptrend, you may still use the concept of Support and Resistance. By plotting trendlines, you may connect the pause points where prices consolidates and bounce back up (higher low). This will show that the trend is strong. A potential entry point is available at the consolidation points. A break of trendline can be your signal to sell.

3. One method that I personally use as my support and resistance line (together with other parameters) is the Moving Averages. Examine the historical reaction of prices towards the MAs. You may use MA20, MA50, or MA100. The same as trendlines, buying opportunity is available if the prices bounces of the MA. Or in some cases, breakout from the MAs. This method is most useful on uptrend issues as it may give false signals on sideways trend.

There are other tools that can help you determine key support and resistance levels. One of which is the Fibonnaci Retracement (will discuss this separately).
One VERY important thing to monitor when plotting support and resistance levels:

VOLUME.

The significance of your support and resistance level will also be determined by the volume and activity on that specific point. Once the buyers overwhelm the sellers on the resistance area, a breakout can happen. And once the sellers overwhelm the buyers in the support area, it can potentially be a start of a downtrend.

I hope this helps you trade the market with mote confidence and conviction.

5 KEY ENTRY POINTS WHEN BUYING A STOCK. 📍

After identifying issues you'd like to participate in (using fundamental analysis), the next question is when to buy?

Here are some options on how you can maximize your gains by buying the stock at an optimum level (using technical analysis): 🙂

1. Breakout from Resistance - After accumulation phase, and if the price is hovering on the top right end of the horizontal trend, a breakout is imminent. Consider this if the price movement has been resting inside the sideways trend for a long time. The longer the accumulation phase, the stronger the force (buying) that is needed to break the resistance. Position your trade few ticks above the resistance line.

2. Bounce from Support - If you want to buy at this level, you have to be patient. Since the price movement is still on a sideways trend, your initial target price is the resistance point. In the event that the price breaks out, you can add more shares. Tight risk management should be applied at this level as breaking of support line can also be a start of a downtrend.

3. The Pullback - After a breakout, some stocks usually revisit the BO point. You can also add or buy at this level but be mindful of the price movement because there is a tendency that it goes back to the price range - this is your confirmation of a false breakout.

4. Breakout from moving averages - Using the Moving Average as your buy point can be tricky. You have to examine the price movement and how it reacts to the MA historically. Breakout from MA20 can be your initial buy point. A breakout from MA50 is a good sign of healthy uptrend. If the stock is above MA20, MA50 and MA100, then you have a strong uptrend.

5. Bounce from trendlines/consolidation areas (re-accumulation) - Once the stock is on an uptrend, there will be pauses where the price will consolidate (profit taking) on certain levels that will form a base for the next move. Once you establish these areas, wait for a price breakout to position your trade.

One important piece to remember is the VOLUME. All these entry points should be validated by a strong demand. In order to have an upward momentum, the buyers should overwhelm the sellers and create an uptrend.

I hope this helps you trade the market with more confidence and conviction. If you have questions feel free to comment below 👌

“In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.”

Technical analysis can simplify investing in a way that it presents enough information for you to create a trading plan using a chart.

Pero let us not forget that madami pa din factors that contribute sa actual practice nito. Dito din nagkakaroon ng disconnect kaya with technical analysis, meron tinatawag na 'practical approach'.

You may see sa mga books/articles that sobrang simple lang ng pag gamit ng mga theories about technical analysis pero bakit hindi pa din natin ma-execute properly? Possibly may mga conflicting beliefs or hindi pa fully integrated yung indicators/signals sa system. 😉

Now, how can we fix this 'flaw'?

Based on my experience, it helps to do backtesting and forward testing ng mga theories before actually adding it in your system.
This way, mas nagkakaroon ka ng idea how to manage your actions when using them sa real account mo. ☺️

Also, try to develop yung 'Trading Brain'.
Understanding and enhancing your trading psychology can improve your ex*****on and trade management. Ito din yung mas nagpapalakas ng conviction ng isang trader. 👌💯

"To attain knowledge, add things every day. To attain wisdom, remove things every day." 😊

We need to learn to unlearn some of the things na natutunan natin because they are not helping us achieve our goals.

Try to dissect the good habits from the bad habits so you can 'unlearn' yung mga bad habits and create a new habit that will contribute to your growth as a trader:

- Setting Stop Loss = Good Habit.
- Chasing the Price = Bad Habit.
- Creating a Trading Plan = Good Habit.
- Over Trading = Bad Habit.
- Keeping a Journal = Good Habit
- Risking too much = Bad Habit

TYPES OF TRENDS and HOW TO TRADE THEM📍

Why do I need to know this?
There is an old adage in trading which says, 'the trend is your friend'. This basically means that you want to be one with the trend, and not against it. 🙂

We have three types of trend.

UPTREND - An overall upward trajectory movement of prices. You can observe this by seeing a series of higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL). The best way to trade this kind of trend is to wait for consolidation patterns form. Inside an uptrend you will see short pauses or pullbacks that can be your opportunity to enter. You can do this by putting a trend line connecting the lows or by using moving averages.

SIDEWAYS - This is evident when the price movement is forming a horizontal pattern creating a balance between supply and demand at certain levels. This kind of trend can be tricky to trade. With a tight range of support (S) and resistance (R), there two ways you can trade this, either buying at support or wait for a breakout from resistance. This trend will definitely test your patience..

DOWNTREND - An overall downward trajectory movement of prices. This will form a series of lower high(LH) and lower lows (LL). In a long market, one way to trade this is using bounce plays (a short pause on a downward trend). Once the shorting mechanism is available in our market, you can also profit from this kind of trend by selling high (borrow) and buying low (returning).

Now how can I use this in trading stocks? 🤔

1. Be very mindful of identifying the Primary and Secondary trend. Yes - a trend within a trend. Align this with your goal. If you are looking to hold issues long term, use the primary trend. If you are looking to trade for a shorter period, use the secondary trend.

2. The hardest trend to trade is the DOWNTREND. If you are not yet equipped with proper knowledge to trade certain set-ups then don't push trades. Stay on the sidelines. I'll repeat - STAY AWAY.

3. Focus first on uptrend issues. This is the easiest trend to trade. Its natural. Trade with the trend. To maximize your returns, look for issues that are in accumulation phase - wait for a breakout then position your trade. What is accumulation? This is the stage where price sits on a base where levels are moving horizontally before erupting to a breakout.

4. You can also trade uptrends by waiting for consolidations - these are small pauses in an uptrend where prices sligthly 'correct'. This usually happens because of profit taking by other traders who are already satisfied with their gains. If the trend is still intact, then position your trade. Caveat: If the trend violates your trend following rule (break of trendline, moving past the moving averages) then this can be a signal of TREND REVERSAL.

5. If you want to trade sideways trend then use tight stops and buy only at support levels to maximize your gains. Sideways is challenging because of the limited range that it provides. If the right side of the price range consolidates on the higher band, then this can be a sign of potential breakout.

6. Use patterns to identify breakouts and reversals. This is your signal to position or take out your trades. I will create another post for this.

7. While trading with the trend can be beneficial, don't forget your risk management when buying issues. A test buy can be placed on certain levels when signals are clear.

8. If a trend reversal is forming don't hesitate to cut your trade. Protecting your gains is equally important as protecting your capital.

9. And lastly - ulitin ko para intense - TRADE WITH THE TREND (uptrend for our long market). 😁

I hope this helps you trade the market with more confidence and conviction. If you have questions feel free to comment below 👌

Maraming salamat po.

Oftentimes we compare ourselves to other people, may it be sa business, sa career, sa trading, having a family or anything na achievement related.

The problem is, we don't understand na we have different timelines. We have different goals and different aspirations in life. Some people would prioritize being a successful businessowner first over starting their own family. Yung iba naman is mas priority ang family over career/business/trading.
