Todays episode has atleast shown me the truth. And I believe it is true for atleast all the newbies who have joined recently. And the Truth is I am not doing what is expected from me.
First I am subconsciously dependant on SAINT and some other senior members to confirm the reversals and pivots. And thats what happened today. I could see the pivot in the Charts, I even saw Rakesh`s post that very moment but neither belived him (dont mind Rakesh) nor my eyes and waited for SAINTs confirmation. Saint confirmed as usual as he does, but then what was different today. The one difference today was by the time saint confirmed and dust settled NIFTY Zoomed to some 3990 levels ie 40-50 points above reversal, which added some chaos. Generally after reversals are confirmed Nifty remains in the ACCEPTABLE range and I change my positions as directed , sometimes even get benefit of 5-10 points. In general situation I decide on trade, read further post and chart pasted by other member confirming reversal/pivot, compare it with mine chart and point out easily --yes here is the reversal -- and feel proud (if not atleast pretend) as if I have done that invention on my own.
But today was a different story.
What happened next, before I could decide whether to reverse my position or not I was thrown up another challange. The challange was WHO AM I ?? PURIST or AGGRESSIVE. Now with little or I would say NO knowledge of system (which definitley I realised when this very question was thrown to me; illussion shatterred), with experience of just a single trade how could I decide what kind of trader I am. After pondering on the complete episode in retrospect one thing that I realised is there is a basic flaw in my technique. the flaw is `I have to Learn the system and follow` not `Follow the thread and try to (L)earn`
Whatever, I learned atleast two things from this --1 I know whats wrong at my end --2 Rakesh has been added to some other senior members list (subconsciously) ......
