SINGAPORE - Financial markets have been on a rollercoaster since

the United States and Israel first launched military strikes against Iran on Feb 28

that killed its supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior commanders.


Tensions continued to rise through the week, with

the US torpedoing an Iranian naval ship in international waters in the Indian Ocean

– one of about 20 vessels the US military said it has struck – as Iran retaliated across the Persian Gulf by striking US bases, surrounding Gulf cities and oil facilities.


The escalating conflict has jolted global energy markets with shipping through the Strait of Hormuz all but halted, affecting a fifth of the world’s supply of oil and liquefied natural gas.

U full time trader?

U full time trader?

I used to buy and keep as they say, for investment. Nowadays, I study the charts and trade for short term, many times just buy and sell on the same day. However, the funds involved must be large (sometimes in excess of S$600k) in order to make some decent profit. I use IFAST so that my commission is fixed at only S$8.80 per trade (Diamond member). So, I don't lose much by going in/out on large amounts, even by a difference of only 1-cent pip.

With the current war going on, unless when impeded, I'll try not to hold any positions overnight if possible because you'll never know what's going to happen tomorrow.

Not really a pro lah. Just look for fundamentally strong companies and study their charts to get in and out. Also the daily trading volume must be high, otherwise, if you get stuck, it'll be hell.

Thanks. For me, whenever there's a crisis, there are also opportunities. But have to be careful.

That is why I always say: why complain about the PAP policies when you cannot do much about it? Why don't instead think of other means to enrich yourself rather than to kpkb day in and day out?
