Strategies for Adding and Covering Stock Positions

Conducting stock trading requires investors to understand some basic investment skills and market indicators. Any investor who enters the stock market wants to achieve the goal of earning profits, and naturally needs to understand and analyze market related content. At present, adding positions and covering positions are two major operations that have to be mentioned. Adding positions is a continuous buying process when the stock price rises, and covering positions is an operation carried out when the stock price falls.

Tips for Adding Stock Positions:

【1】 Investors first buy a portion of their bottom positions, and then increase their positions by 30% after the stock price rises to a certain extent. Each time they increase their positions, the quantity gradually decreases. This situation requires adding positions in the upward trend of stock prices, and it is expected that there will be significant room for future increases in order to proceed with adding positions.

【2】 Investors can also open positions with a small amount of funds, increase investment efforts in the middle, and finally add a small amount of positions. Usually, if a profit is made after opening a position, it can be doubled and the remaining amount can be added if the price continues to rise.

【3】 In addition, when investors replenish their positions, the quantity of each additional position cannot exceed the quantity purchased at the bottom.

【4】 When there is no method of adding or building a position for a certain stock without allocation, investors can buy or sell it all at once. Investors must buy a fixed position for the first time they buy, sell at the stop loss position, and also sell at the stop profit position.

Stock Replenishment Techniques:

【1】 The purpose of covering a position is to intervene at a low level and reduce costs, so it must be operated when the stock price stops falling.

【2】 If the stock price slowly rises after closing the position and stopping the decline, investors need to adopt the incremental method to close the position.

【3】 Investors need to pay attention not to make up for these situations, among which hot spot stocks, weak stocks, market declines, bear markets and other situations that have surged in the early stage do not need to make up for their positions.

【4】 When encountering strong stocks, it is necessary to replenish positions and wait for the market to stabilize before adding positions.

【5】 During the upward trend, investors need to buy stocks that are in the early stages of an upward trend and stay away from stocks that have risen significantly.

It should be noted that if investors make up positions larger than their original positions, they are optimistic about the future development of the stock. Especially suitable for investors who primarily hold heavy positions, this method is often suitable for long-term or value investors. The number of positions to cover is equal to or less than the original position, which is generally suitable for short-term operators and most retail investors.

The above content is the techniques and methods that investors can adopt to increase and cover their positions, and investors need to analyze based on the actual stock price situation. Adding and covering positions are commonly used methods by investors in practical operations. Whether they are used to reduce costs or increase returns, investors need to operate in conjunction with the market.

Overall, investors need to analyze and operate based on actual situations whether they are adding or covering positions. Especially when the general trend allows for a decision to cover the position, if the short-term trend deteriorates and the long-term trend remains unchanged, then it is possible to choose to cover the position.
