A new Life, A new Career, A new Dream - I am a Trader

EOD Summary

An Awesome day. I was feeling frustrated in the early hour as Nifty was moving up, and I was sitting quite with no trade as it was not a buy signal from my system. Believe me that was the most difficult time to watch Nifty riding, controlling my emotion. As per my strategy it was Sell on High, and I started doubting my strategy after seeing the hanging man in 1st hour, and the upmove after that.

But thankfully, I got a sell opportunity as Nifty faced resistance around 5685 as per my plan, Took a short position on NF at 5680, with a target of 5640. And booked at 5620.

Trade

1. Sold NF @ 5680, Stop loss = 5690, Target = 5640, Exited = 5620

Net gain = +60 Points

Thoughts and Lessons

- Need to put this in a practice - "Sit patiently till the market comes to your desired level rather than jumping into the trade straight away".
Hey Taiki,

First of all, All the best for your new career and I wish continuous success in this exciting trading career.

I have 2 questions for you (naive question alert!!!)

1. How do you come up with target at entry? Is it fixed or system generated? I really don't know how to fix a target at the entry stage itself.

2. Though your target was 5640, you exited on 5620. I know we have let the profit's run. But, isn't this indiscipline not to book on targets :D

Thanks you Nifty Punter,

I keep target based on the next support/resistance levels. And on smaller time frame, immediate support was at 5640 and next was at 5620. No support or signals of reversal were seen at 5640, so I stayed on the trade targeting 5620. But you can see, Nifty spot did not touch 5620 but NF went below 5620. So I came out of the trade when Nifty started taking profit around 5625.

I hope it is clear now :)

Taiki

EOD Update

No trades are done today. Did not get any signal. Short set up was formed around 5640-5650. But did not get any chance for a suitable entry.
