Dhiraj, I wanted to clear this out as it would be still fresh & today's trading is a good example of my doubt....
today's nifty target achieved....2759.40
BUT SUPPOSE, NIFTY WOULD HAVE STOPPED DOWNMOVE AT 2765 AND MAKES A JUMP TOWARDS 2790+ ZONE....
NOW, OUR 1% STOPLOSS FOR FIRST TRADE'S SHORT POSITION IS 2801
AND MODIFIED BUY ORDER (AS PER 2765 LOW) IS 2795
I.E. OUR SECOND BUY ORDER LEVEL IS BEFORE THE STOP LOSS OF 1ST TRADE...
WHILE BACKTESTING IN MY FIRST EXCEL FILE, I HAD COME ACROSS ONE SUCH SITUATION (I DON'T REMEMBER THE DATE - IN DEC MONTH).... THAT'S WHY, I STUCK TO 10:35 ORDER AND IGNORED FRESH HIGH/LOWS AFTER 10:35...
I would request your views on this......
anytime, when u r free....
will join you in evening now.
hope ur fine sunil,
and thanks for putting this querry
this applies only for modified orders
sell today was 2774 around ( as per nse futures values )
stop loss at 1 percent higher than sell was at 2801
now if nfity went to 2765 low , a new low
so modified buy order will be 2765 + 30=2795
now here modified stoploss buy is 2795 ,but here quantity of lots ( or shares in cash ) is important
suppose short sell 1 lot at 2774 ,
stop loss 1 lot at 2801,
if a low of 2765 is done , modfied buy is 2795 ,now here u must cancel ur stop loss order at 2801 of one lot
and u must modify ur stop loss buy order to 2795 with quantity of 3 lots.
1 lot for the stop loss of sell order of 1 lot at 2774 and 2 lot to buy when the price reaches 2795.
in other words here stop loss becomes 2795 for ur first trade .
so when price reaches to 2795 levels ur first trade is a loss trade , but at the same price ur second buy trade starts for the double quantity with a 0.8 percent enhanced target .
in these type of conditions there is only one advantage ur stop loss amount get reduced for the first trade ( less than a percent )
2801 -2795 = profit of six points .
for this type of conditions there are 90 percent chances of a profitable trade in a day.
hope u got it .
do write this in ur simple words so that more members can understand it better .
get fully fit ,
