I'm using it as follows: (1) To assess reward-to-risk (2) to recognize potential trading opportunities (3) to pick up certain price structures for example range breaks, pullbacks to key moving averages to buy or sell (4) to understand the readings across various time frames. Mondi Plc (MNP) is another example of how the data set and automation provided a timely alert before a massive move in the share price. At the end of the day on 19 October, the short term reading was as follows: "Aggressive selling but reward-to-risk may be attractive". At the end of the day on 20 October, the short term reading was as follows: "The reward-to-risk is becoming attractive for a small buy long position". The share bottomed the following session and we have since see the share rally from R282 to R342 at yesterday's high.

Tuesday 05-December-2023, 07h29 Clicks Group (CLS, 30497c). By the end of yesterday's trading session, the share printed a hammer candle formation. This candle structure comes following an already strong move off the lows seen on 23 October. Today's candle structure will be important as failure to hold the prior session highs could signal that the upward momentum is being exhausted which could provide an opportunity to re-enter a short/sell trade. The Tactical Trading Guide as of yesterday's close states the aforementioned and is as follows:
Clicks (CLS) - reviewing some of the key the fundamental metrics, it is noted that the price-to-ratio remains elevated at 29x while the EV/EBITDA is at 12x. This is considered expensive.

Monday 04-December-2023, 06h30 [RELATIVE SECTOR ANALYSIS] JSE Resources vs JSE Top 40 Index. In November 2022 I expressed my view which pointed to the potential for JSE Mining & Resources shares to UNDERPERFORM the broader market on a relative basis. From January to November this year, the underperformance was significant as the underlying constituents sold off strongly from their previous peaks. The bear flag technical formation, which was a key feature of the relative UNDERWEIGHT position, has been completed. The relative chart shows the ratio having traded into the long term demand/supply zone, initially slipping below followed by a recovery. The candle structure as per this weekly chart is improving, with the sector closing near a 4-month high on a relative basis. Bottom Line: A sector recovery could be underway over the medium term.
Monday 04-December-2023, 06h30 Aspen Pharmacare (APN, 18524c). Previously, traders were alerted to a re-entry for R160 - R164, which was followed by a rally which saw the share test a high of 18856c on Friday. The candle structure shows signs of an exhaustion of upward momentum, with a long upper tail having developed. Friday's high is also in line with a supply zone that has been in place since Q1. In the short term, the buy/long reward-to-risk is less favourable than the previous re-entry (R160 - R164).
APN Buy Idea 05 September 2023: R160 - R164
Monday 04-December-2023, 06h30 Strategy Screen: Medium Term (1-3 Weeks). MONDI PLC (MNP). "General trend up however look for failure to hold prior session highs to initiate a 1 to 2 day short/sell setup". Mondi Plc gave you buy/long signal via the Tactical Trading Guide on Friday 20 October below R289. The share has since rallied sharply to test a high of R340.42 on Friday. While I am positive on the long term setup for the share, the short term (1-5 days) and medium term (1-3 weeks) does not offer an appealing reward-to-risk from an entry perspective on the buy/long side. See the short term and medium term readings below followed by my updated view on the chart.

The 3-day rule states that when a stock drops by “high single digits or more in terms of percent change,” investors give themselves three days before buying that stock. Yesterday, BVT was sold off significantly on high volume on the back of it's market update. My manual review of the share's price chart notes that the 23400c level has been a key demand/supply zone. We could possibly see further selling into this level before a short term base starts to develop. Considering the Tactical Trading Guide as at yesterday's close, the short and medium term readings are as follows. SHORT TERM: 'Aggressive selling, however the buy/long reward-to-risk may be attractive'. MEDIUM TERM: 'The share has been sold aggressively, look for a continued dip before a minor rebound'. Below are the readings for the short, medium and long term as of yesterday's close, followed by my view of the price chart/key levels.

Monday 27-November-2023, 06h30 Old Mutual (OMU, 1216c). The share remains in a constructive long term upward trend, with the price having experienced a minor 3-month pullback, which can be seen as a consolidation. This consolidation can also be seen as a precursor to potential upside continuation which would be triggered upon the breach of the well-defined channel. Here, supply has been 1235 to 1260c, which would be the next trigger range for the aforementioned upside continuation. As per the Tactical Trading Guide below, a range break would clarify the next directional move.

Within this channel, a smaller downward consolidation channel has developed, which if breached, could see a continuation of the of the recent upward move.

Wednesday 22-November-2023, 06h30 Sibanye Stillwater - Skyscraper View. Nearly two years ago (19 December 2021) I published the monthly chart (see original view below) highlighting the price being capped by it's (then) recently formed downward trend line. From the upper boundary of the channel, the price has gradually drifted toward the mid-point, followed by an acceleration toward the lower boundary. The second chart below shows the monthly chart as of yesterday's close which highlights the parallel channel (high/low points aligning with the parallel lines). Is it oversold? Yes.

Monday 20-November-2023, 06h30 Richemont (CFR, 233102c). Best closing level in 5 weeks. I published this chart one month ago (20-October). Since then, the group reported results, with the share being sold off on the day. It has since managed to remain within it's trading range, which is also in line with the lower boundary of the upward trending channel (support). The 3-day MACD has developed a positive crossover, which supports the potential for a short to medium term share price recovery. Below is the Tactical Trading Guide for the 3 time frames.

Monday 20-November-2023, 06h30 Glencore Plc (GLN, 10669c). The candle structure/price action among resource shares have improved. A few weeks ago I discussed the relative performance of the group vs the market while last week (Thursday) I mentioned Anglo American Plc (AGL) as a buy (as part of a pair) vs Kumba Iron Ore (KIO). Glencore has rebounded from the lower boundary of it's upward trending channel and is testing the peak on 24 January at 12433c. As per the data below, the share is in a high bullish momentum phase while also approaching an overbought range in the SHORT TERM. It may however be worthwhile paying attention to the MEDIUM and LONG TERM readings. Please see below (highlighted in yellow).
Monday 20-November-2023, 06h30 TFG vs TRU - Market Neutral/Pairs Trade View. Over the long term, the two pairs have been closely correlated, however over 3 years, the performance outcome has diverged. TRIU is higher by 96% while TFG has lagged, rising only 7.8%. Is there is an opportunity, on a relative basis, to buy TFG while simultaneously selling TRU?
Monday 20-November-2023, 06h30 Sasol (SOL). Update. I published a buy/long at 22571c, with a target of 24300c. The share traded as high as 24084c which means that 87% of my target was reached. As mentioned on the group on Wednesday at 9:34am: "...traders are currently in the money by +1411c or +6.2% (ungeared), with the share reaching a high of 23982c this morning. The full target is 24300c. The suggested buy/long entry was 22571c. As the share heads higher, traders could consider the following: (1) Bank/Take Profit (2) Partially scale out (3) Adjust the stop-loss to protect profits." Crude Oil rebound by over 4% on Friday hence we could see Sasol put in a minor rebound.

Friday 17-November-2023, 06h30 Making Money With Mr. Price (MRP). At one point during yesterday's session, the share was down by 6.1% from the previous day's close. By the end of the session, the share was lower by 4.82%. On this page yesterday morning, MRP was a share I specifically discussed, highlighting it's short term overbought rating. You may wonder how I picked up on this opportunity? Two data points informed my view: (1) the Technical Summary which showed the share in the overbought category and (2) the Tactical Trading Guide which provided readings across 3 time frames: short, medium and long term. Since we are primarily short term traders who seek to generate cash flow from price volatility, we mostly focus on the data/readings for the short and medium term time frame. As you may have seen, the short term reading stated the following: "Do not enter buy/long here. The reward-to-risk is unappealing" while the medium term reading was as follows: "The general trend is up, however, look for failure to hold the prior session highs to initiate a 1-2 day short/sell setup". Here, failing to hold the prior session highs in an overbought range was key to anyone who looked to initiate a short/sell trade. From a research insight perspective, technology and automation allows me to inform you about potential opportunities for over 75 JSE listed shares. In some cases, this is then combined with my manual review of specific opportunities which I wish to highlight. On a daily basis, both the Technical Ratings Summary Screen and the Tactical Trading Guide is published to make available to you, the client, which serves as a guide to your trading. This how I'm finding opportunity, so that you as our client, can do what you aim to do, which is to simply make money.
Friday 17-November-2023, 06h30. Reinet Investments (RNI). As of yesterday's close, the share is in a short term high bullish momentum regime while approaching overbought. It's entirely possible that the share could trade higher on an intraday basis, however, traders want to look for an overshoot to the upside and a failure to hold the prior session highs. This could open up an opportunity to short/sell and participate if the share develops a bearish reversal. Yesterday's end of reading was as follows:
Friday 17-November-2023, 06h30. Long Netcare, Short Life Healthcare. Update. I discussed this opportunity on 07 September, which, looking back, was the day that the pair bottomed. This idea is higher by 19%.
Friday 17-November-2023, 06h30 Life Healthcare (LHC, 1756c) Yesterday the share sold off sharply (-7.56%) on the back of it's results. Technically, here are two items to note: (1) the gap created on 15 February is close to be filled and (2) the Tactical Trading Guide for both the short and medium term time frames state the following: "Reward-to-risk becoming attractive for a buy/long position". It's possible that the share continues to weak however it may be worth keeping in mind the two aforementioned factors for a potential bullish reversal trade. I'm placing this name on my watchlist.

Friday 17-November-2023, 06h30 Capitec Bank (CPI). 3 Points To Note: The potential price path highlighted a few days ago (black arrow) is being followed with the share having traded higher in recent days. Here are 3 points to note: (1) A bearish inside bar which may signal a slowdown in upward momentum and the start of a short term bearish reversal (2) the share is at the upper boundary of the channel + overhead swing high (3) The Tactical Trading Guide for the short term states the following: "Buyers in control but weakness on the lower time frame. Look for a pullback to the 8/21-EMA before the next move higher". Note: The 21-EMA is at R1838 at the last close. This represents 5.8% downside from current levels, should the share see a pullback toward this range.
