Trade   Tiger Brands   with Unum Capital. To get started, email   lester@unum.co.za In 2019 I need a faster way of analyzing a large group of shares within a short period of time. That's how the Tactical Trading Guide was born. My process, automated. In short, it's a tool that helps traders measure reward-to-risk and uncover opportunities. A great (real-time) example is Tiger Brands - a share where I updated my view on 10 December and again on 07 January. Here, the reward-to-risk on the buy/long side appeared unfavorable for new longs. In fact, the model pointed toward excessively overbought conditions and the potential for a pullback. *This note was prepared on Thursday, 13 February at 16h16.
