Today, 04/11
Maruti had a losing trade on 03/11. Therefore, I chose to trade only that.

Maruti came up for trade yet again later in the day. Therefore, I chose to trade with 1 extra lot to recoup my earlier loss.

I feel I am jinxed.... I was told that it is safe to trade stocks that had a loss the previous day. It doesn't seem to work that way - atleast for me. I have had 3 straight stop loss now.
I am now a bit disgusted. Can somebody please confirm if I made any error in my trade. Thanks for your help.
Strangely, even during the 2nd attempt, Reliance Capital trade hit stop loss for the day.
I know I could have traded later in the day to recover my losses in Nifty, Bank Nifty and Reliance Capital. But that's the point. When I don't trade, it becomes a winner. When I do trade, I end up in losses.
Net Loss for 03/11 = Rs 12,155.50
TOTAL LOSS IN 3 DAYS = Rs 30,387.10
It's seems like this system wants to cause me great losses (Rs 30,000+ in just 3 days) every time I place a REAL Trade. On paper, it worked so great. Is it just me or what ???!
