Well said Altafbhai. Market is no living person./animal and has no enmity towards us. In fact market does not know nor it cares what position we have.
Most of the time we loose because of our own mistakes. The day we start thinking about how the market participants think and behave rather than what our position is and what we want to see market doing, we will take a big step towards winning .....
Be friendly to the market ( meaning be in tune with it ) and it will reward handsomely.
Got a phone call yesterday from an old trader friend who used to trade with me and last 2 years was out of the market and doing some realestate development projects .He did not see the market for last 2 years and he came over to discuss markets, data, trading systems etc.....and he came over and spent 2 hrs discussing all these.He wants to get into trading again.
Now little worried about the market in short term....
generally xx, xx.50 are liquid and xx.25, xx.75 are not.
but if move came in opposite direction , then its hard to exit at small loss , bid wale bhag jate hain
