What ever you do in trading is your choice and your money and what ever I tell is my experience and no must for others.

If you have an or even more open postion/s like you told, then how you feel? Are you happy with it? Can you stop thinking about it as you not want to lose money? Would you be more relaxed in your free time when not doing such risky games? You have to answer such questions by your self.​
It is always better to have your positions hedged. But it is not always that the GAPS will go against your position. Considering the long position above. What if the NF Gaps up or opens without Gap on Monday. In both the situations the hedge will have to be closed in loss.

Better way would be to analyse your system and see what happened in the backtest. In my system the GAPS in favour and against the position were in the ratio of 7:3, and quantatively also GAPS were favouring the system.

Smart_Trade sir you think like our caption MSD :lol:
Classic analysis. Thanks a lot!


The drawdown in star traders could be very misleading unless a trader trades fully in that account.Let me give you an example?..most of the stars will have 3-4 trading accounts.If I have done a spread trade in options and traded one leg in Zerodha account and the other leg in some other account,due to margins consideration one leg may be in profit and the other leg in loss though the trade makes overall profit. If the losing leg is in Zerodha account,that will show as a drawdown but in real terms the trade may be profitable.This is very likely as earlier there was no concept of star trader,open trade etc so a trader will be ok to make a loss in one account and larger profit in other account.Same thing in futures also as one may initiate a position in one account and close the same in other account depending on margins and brokerage on second leg consideration.

But now stars will try to do the full trade in one account,because drawdown will adversely affect their performance,so after 2-3 months real DD and profitability figures will be known.So DD at present may be giving a distorted picture.

yes, such threads are very good for the forum. no body is forgetting any member contribution. problem comes when members started taking things for granted and break the rules of the forum.

So you are trying to use names to gain sympathy and popularity..contribution to the forum and getting subjected to forum action are two independent things. No body is above the law here .Why are you taking seniors' brief without knowing the facts ?

Just heard a study say the following which studied US markets falls from 1929.

1. Once in a years stocks fall by 10%

2. Once in 4 years stocks fall by 20%

3. Once in a decade stocks fall by 30% or more.
After 2008 may be we can get a chance.
