Hi Naresh, Yes we do not know whether we are waiting for Peanuts or Gold biscuits..... and may be we may not even get the peanuts and and God forbid return losses!!!
Here is where the past analysis counts!!! If you have done historical analysis and found thet more often you get a run of say minimum 200 points then you can form a rule in your trading to exit a certain percentage of trade at that level, that could well be 100% of the trade!!! But friend do it every time you trade!!! Do not try to predict the market that this time it looks more likely to go down so let me book profits in my Longs!!!! No predicitons just follow the rules!!!! The rules you set for yourself!!!
What we are following here are the rules that Saint has so very kindly shared with us after observing trading and analysing the system over a period of time!!!!
So Saint gives us the fruits of his hard work, now its upto us how we take the max out of it!!! If you are comfortable booking profits at a certain level go ahead do it, becoz as much as profits are important equally important is your sleep!!!
If you cannot have sound sleep leaving 100+ points on the table, best is book the profits and sleep well!!! The stock market is an ocean, there will be ample opportunities coming your way!!!! In July we had a dream run of almost 500 points and i think we exited at around 400 or so points, so someone booking profits at 100+ would loose that extra but again there would be opportunities where a person exits at 100+ and the trade might end with lower profit or maybe even loss!!!!
The key word is consistency!!!! Do whatever suits you but do it consistently!
All the best!!
