TA Challenge: Emotional trading is bad? PSY doesn't think so!
Views 703K Contents 189

Using only PSY will make you CRY

If you used PSY on these stocks, without considering the macroeconomic factors and fundemental analysis, you would have CRY.
Firstly, I'm not a big fan of technical indicators, because human are creatures that will try to create pattern out of everything. That's just how our brain works, it create mental shortcuts using pattern recognition so as to work less. Yes, that is how amazing our brains are, always trying to be lazy, because using the brain consumes tons of energy.
But since this is a Technical Analysis challenge, I will try to apply what I learnt. I tried it on stocks that I believed it will fail, so that I can learn how not to use PSY. Because learning is not just about how to use the tools, but also about how not to use the tool wise words I hope
I believe that PSY will fail on stocks that have a greater macroeconomic overhang such as China and delisting. I also believe it will fail on overhyped stocks that is greatly overvalued. So I tested on 3 stocks, that I have position in.
firstly, $DiDi Global (Delisted)(DIDI.US)$. We all know that it angered the Chinese government, and it is even getting delisted now. Had we used PSY without considering the geopolitical factors, we will have cried. Lesson learnt, don't use PSY without considering the geopolitical factors.
Using only PSY will make you CRY
Next I tested it on a meme stock $ContextLogic(WISH.US)$. It had IPO during the greatest bull market ever, accompanied with the meme stock rally. Had we used PSY on it, we would have cried big time. Lesson learnt, don't use PSY on meme stocks.
I bought WISH at $2 and sold tons of covered calls on it, so please don't hate me for calling it a meme stock
Using only PSY will make you CRY
Lastly it is $Grab Holdings(GRAB.US)$, a stock that IPO using a SPAC during the craziest bull market ever. Had we use PSY on it, we will have cried a river. Lesson learnt, avoid using PSY on stocks that is born out of SPAC and have negative earnings.
But I believe in GRAB and find that it is a great bargain price now
Using only PSY will make you CRY
So will I ever use PSY or TA in my investing journey? Nah I don't think so, I'm good with fundemental analysis and options strategies
