I am using 4 hourly chart to decide on my trading. I am not really comfortable with this trade, as there is high chance that stock markets worldwide will try to maintain at high close for middle year window dressing at least for today. I have to be very cautious on this trade.

I closed the position as everything seems positive. There is no reason for me to risk further. I don't care what the direction the price is heading to. It might goes down. Closing the current position and wait is the only way for now.

2. Commission needed for buy and sell is RM50 so we need 2 points to break even
3. Margin (Minimum Deposit for holding overnight) = RM8000
4. I have RM 36,575 as deposit and now RM 35,650 after the loss of RM 925
