Yet another day where my folly was getting too aggressive after initial losses.
I opened the day trading HINDPOWER , it had already moved up and i entered long in anticipation of further move..it didn't move much and i had to hit my Out. Loss of 300
Then i traded BHEL , 2 trades in it. first gave me profit of Rs 350 and second gave me a loss of 250. I was net negative now although small.
Then in seek of more action , as stocks were not moving much , i looked at 52 week high scanner and found out a stock not so famous...I thought of taking a small position and entered it..once it started going to my direction i added more...But then alas...it gave a huge spike and as it was a thin stock...less volume ..i was not able to get out on time..i followed the offer till it was down a lot...and then at the lowest of the spike i hit the MARKET out...It gave me loss of 1200.
I got more aggressive then...kept accumulating more small losses.I went till Negative 2000.
But then i got a good move in TATA STeel...It was in uptrend and moving good..
I got a traded of nearly Rs1500 in it....as i captured 4 rupee move in it...
Mistakes: I traded aggressively after initial losses..also i started trading unknown stocks with out watching much..
Also the volume of the stock was not good..I think only A grade stocks are good for a beginner.
To Trade morning session , the price needs to be good..else wait till 10.30 AM.
Also i do not watch any indicator when i am trading..i will need to have a look at them also for confirmation.
Stocks Traded: HINDPETRO , TATASTEEL , TATAMOTORS , BHEL , ONGC..etc
