Dear Ashwani,
Often you have said: "due to high volaitlity I out of market."
I trying to backtest some support & reistance lines, I am finding that sometimes the prices mover in a serpentine fashion around these lines. Result is that frequency of trading increases and gains are lower.
Any suggestions on what can be called "high" volatility during which we should keep out?
regards
Rajeev
dear rajeev,we never fear from voletility,it is a main part of trading game
suppose voletility is there with trending market as it was in last few days,in lead/zink/silver/gold(we earn good amount by holding these moves from lower support AND NOT SQUARING UP FOR SEVERAL DAYS
now suppose voletility is there,coupled with range bound market,as in last few days, it was in aluminium:then we will buy at lower support and sell it at upper resistance ON DAY TO DAY BASIS:in this case profit will be more then first case of trending market,as here we will cash the full voletility both side.
still i closed all the trades,as far as lead /zink/alluminium is concerned,i have given all the detail in my previous posts and my all perdicitions proved right,as they all open gap down on saturday,i was very much sure that all will open gap down.reason of closing i have already given in my previous post.
NOW I WAS HOLDING LONG IN GOLD/SILVER BOTH;MOMENTUM OF BOTH WAS VERY STRONG
THE FIRST FACT IS OUT OF 3K INTRADAY PROFIT , I LAST 2K AND JUST CATCH ONE K AND REST VANISH WITH IN NO TIME IN GOLD
AND IN SILVER OUT OF 2500 POINTS I JUST CATCHED 1000 AND REST ALL VANISH WITH IN NO TIME---THIS EXTRA ORDINARY FALL WAS LESS A PART OF TECHNICALS AND MORE A PART OF MANIPULATION-IT HAPPENED BEFORE SIX WHEN INTERNATIONAL MARKET WAS NOT OPENED-STILL CREATED UNCERTAINTY BY MANIPULATERS AT NATIONAL LEVAL
AND NOW PERFECT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION:IT IS NOT THE VOLETILITY FROM WHICH WE FEAR,BUT IT IS UNCERTAINTY OF TREND, THAT ON WHICH SIDE, THE TRADES WILL OPEN NEXT MORNING, FROM WHICH WE FEAR.
IN THAT CASE IF WE WILL STILL CARRY TRADE FOR NEXT DAY,IT MEANS WE ARE NOW NOT TRADING BUT GAMBLING(MAY WIN ARE MAY LOOSE BOTH 50/50 CHANCE)BUT WE ARE NOT GAMBLERS WE ARE JUST TRADERS
WE SHOULD CARRY A TRADE ,FOR NEXT DAY,IF OVER ALL PROBABILTY, IS IN OUR FAVOUR, NOT FIFTY FIFTY, IF FITY FIFTY ,CLOSE THE TRADES, DONT GAMBLE-THAT IS WHY I CLOSED ALL THE FIVE TRADES( i used the world voletilty for high voletility in above post)
