1.0 INTRODUCTION
As is well known, a trader must know when to exit the market before entering it. Solid trading
strategies and an effective money management plan are basically two conditions for being
consistently profitable in the market, regardless of what kind of financial instruments a trader trade.
In general, considering traders' own expectations, expectations, interests, and personality is an
important part of developing a strategy because traders can experiment with various trading
strategies to find efficient strategies that suit their objectives, expectations, and personality.
Choosing a current effective strategy to become a good trading strategy is usually smarter and faster
for certain traders. In this assignment, we must write a detailed report on our trading game, including
our strengths and weaknesses, profitable and unprofitable instruments, suggestions for
improvement, and much more.
Even if a trading strategy contains extremely short-term elements, such as minute-to-minute
day trading, it should be long-term in nature. Elements of a trading strategy should include the
market, time frame, asset type, amount to put, and whether to put a lump sum or in regular
additions. Once a trader has established their trading rules, it is critical that they be followed. They
can try to change their strategy and related rules later on. A trader should not expect all trades to be
successful, and a trader's success using one strategy will not reflect the success of another trader.
In the market, there are numerous trading strategies available. For example, a news trading
strategy or fundamental analysis that includes both before and after news reports in which traders
trade based on news and market expectations as traders can find trading opportunities by looking at
the news. Every day, there are numerous news events and economic releases that may provide
trading opportunities. Traders can also use technical analysis. It calculates an instrument's future
price by using the past price. As a result, traders can buy an instrument if they believe the market
will rise or if the instrument is oversold.
Otherwise, they can sell an instrument if they believe the price will fall or become overbought.
Day trading or intraday trading is ideal for traders who prefer to trade actively throughout the day.
Intra-day traders profit from price fluctuations between the market's open and close times. Choosing
a trading strategy does not have to be difficult, and traders do not have to stick to just one. The main
thing to remember is that the best traders can adapt and adjust their trading strategies.
Some of our research readings come from websites like The Edge Market, Bernama, StarBiz,
freemalaysiatoday (FMT), and Malay mail, which are constantly updated with information about
market futures. We used news because it has the potential to influence the price of our trading
instruments. We can usually go to websites to find current information or news about the market,
industry, economy, and political situation that affects commodities or the economy. These
websites are extremely helpful and beneficial to us when deciding on a trade within a specific
timeframe. We can be prepared for price movement before entering the market by knowing
whether the market is in an uptrend (bullish) or a downtrend (bearish).
Aside from research reading, our group also did some prize analysis, whether through
technical analysis or otherwise. Technical analysis is a trading discipline that is used to evaluate
investments and identify trading opportunities by analyzing statistical trends derived from trading
activities such as price movements and volume. Muhammad Al-Hafiz, Eli Syahirah, and Nor
Syahirah are three of the members who contributed to our price analysis.
We concentrated on price analysis because we had learned how to use various technical
tools to capture an idea or price for a specific instrument the previous semester. Furthermore, we
used some other indicators that may assist us in trading and analyzing price movement, such as
MACD, Relative Strength Index (RSI), Rate of Change (ROC), and many more.
We did aim for the best time to complete the transaction because it is critical for us to know
when the best time is to buy or sell in the future market. For example, we buy FCPO near the
closing time because the futures price is usually low, and then we decide to sell the futures in the
morning of the next day because the price of FCPO is higher at that time, which can give us a
large profit, and new transactions begin as the price is frequently set higher day by day.
Aside from that, we monitor the price action on the Trading view website using technical
analysis. This price action refers to the movement of the instrument used to forecast whether the
price will rise or fall. We can't figure out Futures Gold's price action. As a result, we will trade gold
less frequently in the future. As a result, we make an assumption. We will take a very long
position if we believe the price will rise, and a short position if we believe the price will fall.
Finally, the catalyst is one of the factors that drives high volatility prices of financial
instruments or commodities. If there is a negative sentiment, the price is expected to fall; if there
is a positive sentiment, the price is expected to rise. This will be very beneficial to us in terms of
profit maximization.

4.0 STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
We discovered our strengths and weaknesses throughout the trading process. Our organization
has a few strengths that help us in the futures trading process. The first strength is having a
certain objective in mind. From the beginning to the finish of the trading activity, our group has a
clear purpose and mindset: to make a large profit. We were better equipped to attain our aims
since we had a clear target in mind. These strategies are critical in avoiding all the uncertainty
that may occur in the market since we are all prepared for the results. The second aspect of our
group's expertise is that we do research and studies on the futures market as well. Before
engaging in any trades, it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of the market. We studied
the trends and patterns of futures markets before becoming involved in the trade.
When finishing this assignment, we discovered that we had a few weaknesses. We have a
limited number of losses due to this weakness, and there is an entry where we can make more
money, but the money we make is lower due to our incompetence. We would like to eliminate all
our mistakes if we get another chance to play this game in the future so that we can maximize
our earnings. Our first error in this trading simulator game was failing to stick to our trading
plan. There are a few entries when we finalize the trading plan before placing a trade, but the
reality is that we don't follow it. Traders on the Bursa Malaysia exchange frequently make
blunders like this one. Given that our emotional interests are implicated, it would be difficult for
us to monitor common mistakes as they are made. When our portfolios breach our cut-loss
threshold, we frequently maintain them in place in the vain hope that they will recover and turn
profitable in the future.
Making an entry without using any trading method is the second flaw we have. This weakness
is the biggest mistake a trader can make in the stock markets, foreign currency markets, futures
markets, and other types of financial instruments since, without a trading strategy, positioning in
all these instruments is identical to gambling. We have a very slim chance of making money with
this device. Without a trading plan, we would never know when to cut our losses, where to profit
from our admittance, or whether we should hold onto our position. The first thing we would like
to change or get over in the future is this error.
