Int’l Container Terminal Services Technical Analysis
Int’l Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICT) registered another engulfing candlestick today as it breached the previous resistance at ₱135.60, making it the present immediate support. The latest immediate resistance is now pegged at ₱148.00.
ICT surged by 4.28 percent as of closing on May 10, 2021 with a total turnover value of ₱456 million.
Thanks to the foreign investors for being the main drivers of ICT’s trades today. The foreign investors registered a net foreign buying worth nearly ₱94 million. On the other hand, the foreign investors are still net sellers on ICT year-to-date.
This stock still has a low erraticity level due to its 10-day historical volatility score of nearly 40 percent.
If you’re going to look at ICT’s chart from March 2020 onwards, you’ll see that its trend is still northbound.
There are two questions I’d like to answer in this analysis.
1. Is it logical for you to top up on ICT if you already have it in your portfolio based on today’s data?
2. Is it wise for you to enter a new position if you don’t have it yet?
I’ll tell you the status of the six parameters of my Evergreen Strategy 2.0 when looking for a confirmed buy signal to answer those two questions. All six parameters must gain a bullish rating to have a confirmed buy signal. If you’re one of our clients at Equilyst Analytics, you can print that flowchart in the course manual.
Firstly, ICT’s last price is moving above its 10-day simple moving average (SMA), which is bullish.
Secondly, its Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is moving above the signal line, which is bullish, too.
Thirdly, the last price of ₱141.20 is higher than ICT’s volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of ₱140.3642, which is bullish again.
Fourthly, the last volume bar is higher than 50 percent of ICT’s 10-day volume average. It’s even higher than the 100 percent of ICT’s 10-day volume average. Again, that’s in favor of the bulls.
Fifthly, the Dominant Range Index (DRI) of ICT is bullish.
Unfortunately, ICT’s Market Sentiment Index for today is bearish, which is a fair warning for those who are usually more emotional than logical when making an investment decision.
In short, ICT has no confirmed buy signal, especially for those who are yet to enter a new position.

Synthesis
If you already have a position on ICT:
Assuming your trailing stop is still intact, you may hold your position but do not top up yet. The stock has just breached the previous resistance. Today’s bearish Market Sentiment Index is poised for potential profit-taking soon. It’s best to wait for a confirmation before you top up. There’s no need to reduce the percentage of risk of your trailing stop, however. The Dominant Range Index remains bullish. Please refer to the flowchart on how to sell more logically and less emotionally in the course manual of the Evergreen Strategy in Trading and Investing in the Philippine Stock Market 2.0.
If you don’t have ICT yet, but you’re planning to buy it:
Control yourself. There’s no confirmed buy signal for ICT as of today’s data. I suggest that you remain in a wait-and-see mode. That doesn’t mean you should not do anything, though. You still have to monitor ICT’s overall rating if you’re interested in trading this name. As trading happens tomorrow, you may ask for ICT’s latest Dominant Range Index and Market Sentiment Index in our online discussion board. Please make sure that you’ve already finished studying the course manual of the Evergreen Strategy in Trading and Investing in the Philippine Stock Market 2.0.
Once a confirmed buy signal is issued by the Evergreen Strategy 2.0, remember that you still have to calculate your reward-to-risk ratio. Therefore, you should not force to buy ICT, even if there’s a confirmed buy signal if you’re not satisfied with your reward-to-risk ratio.
Again, all of these pieces of advice are documented in the course manual of the Evergreen Strategy in Trading and Investing in the Philippine Stock Market 2.0.

I like your style when you present and how you explain
Hello, Jaycee. First of all, thank you very much for your free email which is a big help for me.

I like your style when you present and how you explain. It’s very thorough and precise, even for a novice like me would easily understand.after reading I don’t go for my gut anymore ? I was hoping to avail of the discount for the whole year that you offered before and never have got a chance to submit my application. Is it still available? Anyway, thanks again.

dito ka na kung hanap mo ay forum na walang troll
Sir pagamit nga nung slogan nating more wins less losses. Tama nga ba sir? Anyway, I’m here to write a testimonial for this service. For the first time, nakapagtry akong magtrade. 7 gains. 1 loss. Hindi na masama para sa isang beginner na tulad ko. Pero hindi mo magagawa yun kung wala ang Stock Signals. Baka 7 losses at 1 win ang mangyayari kung ako lang. Super excited ako sa pwede ko pang marating sa tulong ng Stock Signals. Isa pang maganda sa Stock Signals ay yung forum. Puro chart at data yung usapan. Kung naghahanap ka ng forum na walang troll at matitino ang usapan, sa Stock Signals ka na.
a breath of fresh air
In a frantic world of stock trading, I consider SS a breath of fresh air. I have been trading through COL financial for more than 3yrs and I can say that SS never fails to calm me in my hectic schedule being employed in a demanding job, being a mom of 3 and doing online stock trading too. Most of the times that I tend to be emotionally attached to my top picks SS makes me think of better things to do with them. Thanks, Jaycee and more power to you?
he interacts with his clients in the forum
As an IT professor myself, I know it would be easy for Jaycee to just throw his explanations in the actual stock market lingo. By observing how he interacts with his clients in the forum, you’ll see how he can be technical yet easy to understand all at the same time. I am not active in the forum but I read. He writes in Tagalog seldom but he will when he feels that he has to. I also noticed that he loves to elaborate his answers to make sure you understand how and why he arrived into such conclusion. The forum is only a free add-on to his Stock Signals on top of the access to his Top Stock Picks page, but for 400 bucks a month, the forum alone is more than enough. Kudos to this young man.
Its like I see you face to face with the way you explain things.
