I had chosen lead(Mini) since I noticed that the prices are more stable when rising and falling than with Zinc (my previous preferred metal to trade.) My risk appetite has been lowered compared to when I started trading a couple of months ago and I now prefer to trade lead.
@Ashwani: Thank you for clarifying why I need to wait for a 6K increase even though a 2K or 3K increase may be sufficient. I am indeed new and a metal such as Zinc really does need a 6K gap between lots or trade sessions. I bought my second LeadMini lot on a semi-impulse (I had to soothe my nerves when SilverMic went long instead of short) at 99.25. In theory a stop loss of 2K means my trade is safe as long as the price doesn't dip to 97.25? I am now keeping aside an extra margin of 2K for each LeadMini, AluMini or ZincMini lot that I trade and will wait between price rises of 4K to 6K before making new trades.
@Amanfree: The book does seem interesting especially to read about trading from a psychiatrist + trader's POV.
@Pav:Thank you very much for the links. 2.5 MT (I'm not sure how many tonnes are in 1 MT) seems to be the maximum allowable Gold Guinea and not 20 kg.
i used the fixed amount 2000/- just to teach you the basic principal of money management,which i use
but technically we hold end of day move with support
our stop loss is below support
but to reach at this leval that you can calculate,exact mathematical support,it may take another few years
but in the mean while you can use standard support and resistance system at your end
but at present as you are long in lead
i am also long in lead at present
at mathe support system,now when you are in a profit of 2000/- we will hold this move with stop loss which will be always below 2000/-
but once you will be in a profit of 10000/- in one lot.then it will be around 3000/- to 4000/-but your 6 to 7 thousand will be safe
and when you will be in a profit of 20000/- in one mini lot of lead
at that time for one or two days ,your stop loss may be 7000/-but at that time your profit of 20000-7000=13000 still be safe instead of 7000/-stop loss.
at present for mathematical stop loss you can take my help ,
for tues ,i will give exact stop loss with which you will hold your long in lead
THE BOOK IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS,WHICH AMAN FREE RECOMMENDED.IT IS A MUST READ FOR ALL TRADERS
