The Low Volatility Taiwan Dollar Is Now Less VolatileThe already incredible low volatility of the US dollar to the Taiwan dollar somehow over the past few weeks managed to drop volatility even lower than before. The range trading has tightened further from 30.42 to 31 by a tighter range of 30.65 to 30.94. This is truly incredible, even for the foreign exchange market which has suffered (or enjoyed given your financial position) from extremely low volatility compared to other asset classes such as commodities or equities. The question remains if this volatility can be sustained and if so for how long. Clearly, this pair suffers from low liquidity which can be seen by long tails of the candlesticks indicating short-term volatility. Less clear is the fact that this pair is still manipulated by the central bank. Either way, USDTWD is a fairly stable pair to invest in with foreign exchange risk extremely low, at least for now.

TWSE Off From Technical Overbought HighsWhile RSI and Bull/Bear sentiment have edged away from clear overbought signals, we are continuing to see exponential moving averages assert their authority in suggesting the uptrend will continue. This is the case for the 'ribbon' of EMAs excluding the five day EMA which price action has dropped below. In the short-term I am a bit bullish on Taiwanese equities especially since they tend to outperform other Asian equities when the majority of Asian stocks are in deep red territory. Moreover, Taiwanese equities outperform their Asian peers in differing times of entry point since the 2008 Financial Crisis. However, entry point is extremely important for this and perhaps for a buy and hold strategy prices are a bit too expensive for those types of investors.

All-time biggest slump of Taiwan stock market today 2018.10.11 After the government made many statements about "most consecutive trading days for the index to stay above 10,000", Taiwan stock market had a biggest slump of all time to go down more than 6.3% (7.3% for the futures) today. To take this 0050 ETF as an example (composed of top 50 Taiwan stocks), it had so many potential trades to take on the train of slump! Of course, the main purpose of this article is not about hindsight, but with a thought of "the market is made of trading plans" there indeed had so many signs and chances to establish short positions before today! Focus on the trading plans on your own trading system, sometimes the market will give such a big gift like today~! It'll be quite interesting for the world's stock market to become so volatile again, that's when traders start to get exciting! =========================================== After an 8-day vacation I'm back yo~ Luckily enough all of my stock positions got out on the trailing stop last week like COST and ATVI. And I'm ready to trade this volatile market gogogo!!
