I can understand the curiosity. If you are not watchful it has drastic effect on your profits. As of now it has fallen to 12% approx
. Basically I am having 2 strategy.
First, I am keep on adding the stocks which dip by 5%. Secondly, if overall fall is more than 18% I will book all the profits by selling. But I believe, market will give you better returns compare to any other investment strategy if you hold it for long term. Still I am having returns of around 30% overall.
Remember, always have liquid money. Don't put all your earnings into market. Decide your surplus and then trade and invest. Else it won't be market but you will be doing harm to yourself.
Hope this is fine to satisfy your curiosity.

First of all , congrats on your feats .. may you make many more lakhs !
I find your strategy interesting... I mean accumulating (maybe even averaging) during corrections (each fall of 5 % etc) ... this makes absolute sense as long as the uptrend resumes after the correction.
Looking at your portfolio, most of the scrips (but not all !) seem to have been in a primary bull trend at least since last 12 mths , so your averaging tactic would surely have boosted (increased) your paper profits
Also, very few of them have had corrections of 18% during the corrections , so you may not have got the triggers to 'book profits' in those cases. Except of course in the May 04 crash... but then you seem to have entered the market after that period ... count yourself lucky!!
So overall -- if I am right --- your corpus (money invested as on date) in the markets would have grown many times over the past 2 yrs (my guess is 3 to 4 times your original investment of a couple of lakhs)
Keep it up ... and let's hope that the uptrend continues indefinitely (at least in the scrips in your portfolio).
AGILENT
By the way you do not believe at all in hedging (e.g. by buying nifty puts) to safeguard against sudden, sustained corrections
