General Trading Chat

What I have been able to achieve during last financial year:
My positions as per IDF are correct more that 50% of times.
Implemented risk <1-2% per trade
Trying to get out before SL is hit.

Still failing in the most important part (as mentioned in Amit ji's post also):
Letting profits run, unable to trail SL (psychologically)
Difficult to decide when to keep position for the day.
ST sir what should I do.
ST Sir,
Can you please answer this when u have sometime. Even i have the doubt regarding SL Trail.
 
I used to believe the more experienced you get in trading, more the number of setups you see to trade but
Now I am beginning to realise, the more experienced you get far lesser tradable set ups you see, so yes yawning (as Maneesh once said) is an essential part of successful speculation.

Any trading day is classified as 1) Small range sideways 2) Large range sideways with volatility 3) Large range trend day. In first two types it is better to grab the profits rather than letting it run. In third type it is a tightly woven strong trend day and on this day it is profitable to let the profits run.A good trader understands what kind of day today is likely to be and then he grabs his profits or runs it accordingly.

If you have difficulty in understanding what type of day we are in,then booking 50 % profits on 25 points in nf and trailing the balance also could be considered.
