Using DLCs for short-term trading
Traders can use Daily Leverage Certificates (DLCs) for short-term trading on JD.com to amplify potential returns while managing risk.
For bullish opportunities, such as the current uptrend supported by the MACD bullish divergence and gap breakout, traders can use long DLCs (e.g $JD 5xLongSG251113(DWYW.SI)$ ) to capitalize on upward momentum.
Conversely, if the price approaches resistance or shows signs of reversal, short DLCs ( $JD 5xShortSG260513(ULBW.SI)$ can be employed to profit from pullbacks.
Given the leverage effect, DLCs are ideal for capturing quick price movements, but traders must monitor positions closely to mitigate the higher risk associated with leveraged products.
