Dear rajputz,
avoid trading PATNI (long/short). Its not a good trading stock. If you are just tracking then, fine. I guess this stock makes news based moves and moves are very deceptive!
Thanks for the comment raunak sir. I will not short this stock in an uptrend. But when i find a stock giving me a downtrend in an uptrending market, i keep it as no trade stock for me, till got a confirmation of 200% from my system. Counter trend trades are the most losing ones. I rather keep them as warning signal in going long.
Like if in uptrend market, i find that this stock is undervalued and lets buy it, then i just check the chart and see if it has given a downtrend signal. In this case, patni has given me some signals that it can go further down, and i will not buy it. Neither will short it, cause that will be counter to the trend trading.
For Last few months, i am trying to apply this strategy. Find the short positions when nifty gave a short position, or trend reversal to downside. Find buy position when nifty has given long position, or trend reversal to upside. At that point i dont trade counter trend then.
