My First Experience Trading US Stocks
As an experienced investor, Little Wealth God has been tortured by A-shares countless times, and once thought about taking a bite of the meat on the other side of the ocean—US stocks. In 2015, I opened Hong Kong and US stock accounts on Futu NiuNiu, and even specifically opened an account at a Hong Kong bank. However, I never deposited funds until recently when I dug out my account number and found that Futu’s business in China had “fizzled out.” At this moment, Gate launched its stock trading service, and I immediately went to “try it out.” From opening the app to buying the much-anticipated “NVIDIA,” the whole process took no more than 3 minutes. Overall, I give the experience a “bang!” Let’s take a look:
First, the preparation work:
1. Download the Gate app and update to the latest version (make sure the version > 8.21.5), then log into your Gate account
2. Ensure you have completed identity verification
3. Tap on TradFi on the homepage to enter the stock section
Next, the trading process:
Select the stock you want to buy → click “Go to Trade” → buy or sell stocks → use USDT to purchase stocks → check the order and confirm the transaction
The entire process does not require complicated secondary KYC verification, no currency exchange or deposit needed, and you can directly use your account balance to buy. It’s incredibly easy! Moreover, stocks held can participate in dividends, stock splits, and bonus shares normally, which is fantastic!
Next, I’ll share my views on US stocks and the timing for buying
First, the current rally in US stocks is driven by AI narratives, with a bull market in tech-related sectors such as chips, computing power, and semiconductors. So, everyone should mainly focus on the Nasdaq, while the Dow Jones and S&P 500 serve mainly as references. Currently, the Nasdaq index is gently advancing along the 5-day moving average (see below), with no signs of large-volume, high-turnover main force pushing up and then exiting. This “slow-cooked frog in boiling water” market trend may continue for a while.
Furthermore, from a technical indicator perspective, the RSI (14) of the Nasdaq is at 62.8, still in a healthy buying zone, not reaching the overbought threshold of 70. The upward momentum has slowed but not exhausted. MACD: DIF remains above DEA, with the red bars slightly shrinking compared to last week. The bullish trend continues but with weakened momentum, indicating normal consolidation. Moving averages: the price is steadily above the 5-day moving average (29,920 points) and the 200-day moving average (29,280 points), indicating an upward short- and medium-term trend.
As for stock selection, I recommend focusing on tech giants like Micron Technology (MU), NVIDIA (NVDA), SanDisk, Microsoft, and TSMC. Regarding position size, you can maintain around 60% of your portfolio, diversify investments, and if the Nasdaq drops sharply in a single day and breaks below the 10-day moving average, you can consider heavy bottom-fishing and hold long-term.
Finally, I want to share my view on shorting US stocks. As everyone knows, the US stock market is in a long-term bull market (I will explain the reasons in a future post), so short-term shorting is definitely not advisable. Currently, many people are trying to short for a quick correction and profit, but even during the most intense US-Iran conflicts, US stocks did not stop their upward march. The market remains very strong, and there’s no sign of a top in the short term. Shorting is somewhat akin to gambling. Instead of risking your neck, it’s better to follow the trend and go long, enjoying the benefits of the bull market!
