Let's Save the Environment

Mistakes in Previous Post: How To Read The Trading Board In OSKIC

Dear readers,

I am sorry that I have made a mistake in previous post.

In this post: How To Read The Trading Board In OSKIC.

Before correction:

Last
The quantity for the last trade.


After correction:

Last
The price for the last trade.

L-Vol
The quantity of the last trade.

Thanks to a visitor who has informed me.

Buy and Sell in OSKIC

I have been thinking about how to explain the 'Buy' and the 'Sell' in the best way.
But I still couldn't find the greatest way.

If you fail to understand,
you may drop me a comment here and ask for further explanation.



You would see this at the left bottom side of the trading board.
There are 5 rows for 'Buy' and 'Sell'.
Those are the queues waiting for the trades.
The top is the first queue while the bottom is the 5th queue.

Let's take the first buy queue,
1.04 with the quantities of 14,787,
what does it mean?
It means,
people are waiting to buy 14,787 lots of that stock at the price of 1.04.

At the 'sell' side,
people are waiting to sell 9,472 lots of that stocks at the price of 1.05.

It's the same for the following queues.

So what price should we place?
It depends.

But,
one thing is that,
the lower price you place to buy a stock,
the longer time you need to wait.
First queue will be served before seconds.
You may place your buy order at the selling price,
your transaction will be completed faster.



You will see the 'Buy' and 'Sell' at here too.
Those are first queues.

My Hostel's Water Supply Was Cut Off

I planned to clean my cupboard this afternoon.

When I went to toilet to take water,
the water didn't come out!
The water supply was cut off!

Initially,
water supply of the block beside mine wasn't cut off.
But later on,
it was cut off too.

Oh no!
Why am I so unlucky recently?

How can I bath later???

I hope the water supply is back later.

Water water,
please comes back.

How To Read The Trading Board In OSKIC

Let's continue our learning.

Now, let us learn how to read the trading board.



We will see there are 18 columns.
It starts with code and ends with TO/CP.

I will brief what are those except N and TO/CP.
(May be I will tell about that next time)
Don't worry, it's not that important at this moment.

For others,
I will only briefly tell the meaning at this moment,
because there are so many items.
If I explain all in details,
it will be very long.

But I will explain in detail next time.
Anything you don't understand,
leave me a comment.

Code
It's the code for the stock, some sort like an ID.
Some, you will see words like CB, CN, WA, PA etc.
Those with C are call warrants, W are warrants while P are preferred stocks.
We can't trade these all in OSKIC.
In other words, we can trade only ordinary stocks.
(those without alphabet)

Cur (Currency)
I guess you guys know. The currency of the stock. All suppose in MYR (Malaysia Ringgit).

Name
Short name of the companies. Quite similar with code.

Ref (Reference)
It's the price of the stocks for a trading day before.
In other words, we may say it's yesterday closing price.
(for Monday, the reference means Friday's closing price)

Open
The price when the stock market opens.

High & Low
It's the highest and the lowest price that the stocks ever achieved on that particular day.

B/Qty
Quantity of buying.

Buy
Price that is bid to buy.

Sell
Price that is offered for sale.

S/Qty
Quantity of selling.

Last
The price for the last trade.

L-Vol
The quantity of the last trade.

Change
How much is the change of the stock price.
For example,
ABC closed at RM1.00 yesterday (Ref),
now, it's currently traded at RM1.20 (Last).
So, the change is RM0.20.

% Change
The change is in RM.
The % change is in percentage.
If we take the previous example,
the % change will be 20%,
RM0.20 (change) / RM1.00 (Ref) = 20%

Volume
The total quantity traded of the day.

May be you find that the explanations I have given are too little.
Nevermind,
I will explain in more detailed next time.

Mouse In My Cupboard!

What a bad day today.
Since morning,
my things didn't go smoothly.

I thought it got better during the evening.
Unfortunately,
when I was going out for dinner,
I saw a mouse in my cupboard!

It spoilt my lovely dinner mood.
My roommate and I were trying to chase the mouse out from out room.

What an unlucky day!

This is the mouse that spoilt my mood.



Disgusting, isn't it?

Another Investment Event I Fail To Attend

This morning,
my broker asked me whether I am interested to attend a talk on next Tuesday.
I have class on Tuesday morning,
and I have a test on Wednesday.
After considering for a time,
I rejected the offer.

I actually wish to attend,
but I miss the chance once again.

I missed Investor EXPO on 17th and 18th July.
Then, I missed investment event which hosted by I-Capital.
Again,
I missed another ones yesterday.

Now,
I am going to miss the talk next week.

When Can I Have A Good Sleep again?

I was busying with OSKIC these two days.
I posted a lot regarding OSKIC.

Now,
let's back to my life.

For these few weeks,
I sleep less.
Averagely,
I think I sleep 5-6 hours a day.

We should sleep at least 6 hours a day.
7 hours should be the best.

Yesterday and today,
I am feeling a little bit blur.
I could feel that my brain is tired.
I hope I can settle down my things very soon,
and have a better sleep.

How To Calculate Cost In OSKIC (Selling)

When I referred back to my previous post "How To Calculate Cost In OSKIC",
I realised that I left out the selling part.
When we sell our stock,
there is cost as well.

If I sell 1900 units of XXXXXX at RM2.00.
So, the total selling price will be RM3800 (RM2.00 x 1900). (a)
Then, the commission will be RM15.96 (RM3800 x 0.0042). (b)
(The 0.0042 is the fixed rate of 0.42%)
So, the total amount of money you will receive is RM3784.04 (RM3800 - RM15.96). (a) - (b)

So, if we refer back to the example of purchase I gave in "How To Calculate Cost In OSKIC", the profit that I get will be amount to RM 799.74 (RM3784.04 - RM 1984.30)

How To Calculate Cost In OSKIC

The next question is,
how to calculate the cost.
In OSKIC, it's simpler.
It's just 0.42% for commission,
a fixed rate.

Look at this.



You may reach to this page by clicking on "Trade History".
it shows your transaction.

If I bought 1900 units of XXXXXX at RM1.04.
So, the total purchase price will be RM1976 (RM1.04 x 1900). (a)
Then, the commission will be RM8.30 (RM1976 x 0.0042). (b)
(The 0.0042 is the fixed rate of 0.42%)
So, the total amount of money you need to pay will be RM1984.30 (RM1976 + RM8.30). (a) + (b)

A Talk By Law Chu Hian

Thank you, Law Chu Hian.
I wish to attend your talk again.

How To Read The Game Portfolio In OSKIC

Game portfolio shows the shares that you are holding currently.

Here is an interpretation of how to see it.



What's the difference between the cash at hand and game limit?

I will use a simple example,
you have RM100,000,
and you place order of 60,000.

If the trade isn't completed yet,
then, you will still have RM100,000 in hand.
But, you have only RM40,000 limits for trading.

How To Trade In OSKIC

Many people are asking me about how to trade in OSKIC.
I think it's a good idea to explain it in my blog.



This what you see,
right?

So, click on the stock you would like to buy.
Then,
the right bottom "order box" is where you key in your orders.


Firstly,
you will see the share you clicked appear in the box "Stock".

The second box is the quantity.
Remember,
key in quantity in lot,
not units!
1 lot = 100 units of share.

The third box will be the price.
Price PER UNIT (not lot).

The last one is trading pin.
For OSKIC,
the trading pin for all people are same,
which is oskic1.

A Moody Day

I felt a little bit moody today.

Initially,

My Singapore Trip Is Postponed

I went for applying passport yesterday.

So,
I failed to apply for passport.

Now,
it seems like I have to postpone it.

Guess where is this?



Answer: Penang

Meanings Behind "LUPORTI"

Many people curious about what LUPORTI means.
Here are 3 meanings of LUPORTI.



1. Luis Figo and Javier Portillo

Both of them were my football idol when I was football fans during Form 4.
I support them so much.
And my friends start calling me Portillo and Figo.
I wasn't as good as both of them.
I shouldn't be called like that.

So, I try to create a nickname for myself.
I was thinking.
I love Luis Figo and Javier Portillo.
So,
Here come LuPorti.

Haha.
Know how I created it?
I guess you get it.

2. You, football brother!

Let me separate the LuPorTi.

Lu = You (Hokkien)
Por = Ball (Cantonese)
Ti = Brother (Mandarin)

So,
when people call me, 'hey, LuPorTi!'
He means, 'hey, you, football brother!'

Great?

3. The way I study things

I am an anti-exam-oriented person.
I study for knowledge,
not exam.

I keep on telling people we should study for knowledge,
not exam.

And this is the way I study.

L - Learn
U - Understand
P - Practise
O - Organizing discussion
R - Relax
T - Train / Teach
I - Involve

Great?
I hope so.
Haha.

Greed and Overconfidence Lead to My Collapse

Since half year ago,
I have been facing a collapse in building my future.
The trigger of my collapse is a forum called Lcorner.



I took over the forum
and my failure in Lcorner caused me into some cash flow problems.
Subsequently,
I was forced to terminate my businesses.
Then it got worse and forced me to dispose my investments.
I named it,
“Luporti Crisis”.

Yesterday, my friend asked me about the reasons that cause the so-called ‘Luporti Crisis’.
I told him “GREED” and “OVERCONFIDENCE”.
Yea, these 2 are crucial to my failure.
I was expanding my career greedy and impatiently.
I was too confident that I could make Lcorner alive again.
Now, the truth is that, I failed.

I will remember this lesson FOREVER!
