I have wanted to try trade without any stop loss because I take a long time to put the stop loss in all assets but the market fell and I took time to act.
In rare situations I'll consider the possibility to buy and sell partial positions and I will not use the amount that I have determined at the start. (4000 USD or 3200 EUR) This would have been one of these situations.
I'll spend more money on commissions, but I'll protect the portfolio.

The recent fall in NASDAQ reflects the great dependence on and affinity with the movements seen on the Apple which, by its turn influence the remaining indexes (S&P 500, DAX). This fall shows us that we can look quickly at the Apple chart to help us in market analysis.
Both have the possibility of having the same formation (Head and Shoulders) with the difference that Aapl broke down one day before as compared with the NASDAQ.


Now, I'm going to wait the confirmation that the rising support trend line in Aapl is broken.

Will Apple´s support line hold?

Will SPY´s 50 day moving average support line hold?

The stocks of the US Stock Portfolio and the AAII Investor Sentiment Survey of last week suggest that the uptrend will resume.
That´s my guess.

I am also thinking that we'll hold this support for S&P this week. Looking like if the earnings news continues to be mostly positive this week we'll be testing resistance by the end of this week.

I am also thinking that we'll hold this support for S&P this week. Looking like if the earnings news continues to be mostly positive this week we'll be testing resistance by the end of this week.

We shall see what happens over the next two or three days.
For the present, the markets are reacting well.

I'll start a New Portfolio.

In the “All ETFs Portfolio” I trade ETFs of all markets and indexes in the world.
The great majority of Exchange Traded Funds/Indexes that I´ll trade are leveraged, which makes this portfolio a very high risk portfolio.
My goal is to follow market trends, and with a higher risk achieve a higher return.

The portfolio is composed by 5 ETFs.

 

[Duarte]

I will sell: EGHT, WIBC, LTON.

 

[Duarte]

I sold the stocks for different reasons:

1. I think the markets can go down a few days (Maybe one or two days?)
2. To be possible for me to buy other stocks.
3. LTON´s average daily volume of transactions has remained low and also because the stock it is near to a horizontal line resistance.
Despite the low trading volume I don´t put aside to buy again the stock.
4. EGHT and WIBC not rose as much as I expected. I want to buy stocks that go up a little faster.

Today, for example, I had predicted that market was going to fall but I hold the vast majority of positions in the portfolios.
This is because I have many open positions and I wouldn't have time to do many updates.
I will hold the great majority of positions as long as I believe that the trend will continue.

The NASDAQ 100 fell -1, 54% this week, which reflects the considerable weight of the Apple in this index and its great dependence on and affinity with the movements seen on the Apple. If the Apple continues to drop, the market will be unable to rise because the NASDAQ influences the remaining indexes.
The Apple support lines have been broken, which is a bad sign.
The Apple fell the last four consecutive weeks, which does not happen often. Since 2009, this is the third time this happens.
In the last two times, the market has recovered very rapidly.

The MSCI All Country World Index Fund continues to have higher lows and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF is close to the 50 days moving average where, since June, has reacted positively.

This week’s poll of its members by the American Association of Individual Investors is at 44, 5% bearish, only 28, 7% bullish.
The traditional interpretation of sentiment readings is contrarian, meaning that AAII Investor Sentiment is giving a possible bullish signal.

It is difficult to predict what will happen, but I still think that the market will rise.
