Another range-bound day where Nifty gave a nice attempt for coming out of the range during the last 30 min of the day. Did 2 trades today, one went into loss while I was breakeven on the 2nd trade.
1. Bought 5800 CE at 335, Stop loss = 328, Target = 350.
It was when Nifty tried to take out the day's high around at 1:30 PM. Stop loss got hit.
2. Sold 5800 CE at 330. With a stop loss = 335, and target 320.
But immediately after this trade i realised this was unplanned, and i did it only for my 1st trade did not work out. I decided to get out in no time. Luckily I exited at 330.
So overall a loss of 7 points. Plus brokerage is to be cut.
Thoughts and Lessons
I was little frustrated today as market was giving another tight day. Need to learn to control my emotion and wait patiently for suitable entry. I found myself being impatient for a trade opportunity.
Stay alert for entire 6 hours of market running. I was bit jaded by 3PM with a mentality like its already near to closing hour. But at that time Nifty made the last upmove which i could not pick.
By the way, now I am going through Smart_Trade's teaching from "Thought on Day/Swing Trade". Thanks ST bhai for the amazing thread. :thumb:
