Buddy I am very new to trading and in past 3years I have been paying just my tuition fees to learn trading... and now it started to pay off. As one of my friend told me... "keep is simple stupid" :) do not look for tooo much indicators as if your system if too complex then there are high chances that you yourself might not understand it - someone said on this forum ;)

So to answer your question..
I use 3,13,39 EMA along with MACD crossover for positional trades..

Intraday...
I look for 5min charts. Before I enter a script I look for support/resistance from trendlines and buy near support, and exit near resistance.... make sure you book your losses if the trend goes or is support is broken...

better trade on paper for a month or so... then test your trades according to your system, once you are comfortable... then trade with small money
tks findvikas but how u trade with 3 13 39 (ema or sma) pls tell give eg plsssssss

As promised, I will not hide my losses. Yesterday was a BAD BAD BAD BAD day.

Learnings:
  • "Never average down your losses, only average UP" - I will incorporate it from today.

Overall return is negative 50% and I am hoping to cover my losses at least if not end up in gain :)

As you can see I have lost my entire capital, and closed all my positions today. :annoyed:

This was a very good learning experience, apart from the pain of losing money. Here are my key take away.

  1. Never average down, or never bet on a losing deal.
  2. Not everyday is a good day to trade, when its not... stay out you stupid.
  3. NEVER take naked options positions overnight, cover them by putting hedge or close them by end of day. Reliance is a BIG sucker who sucked it all with their Stake Sale.
  4. I did not have proper money management, I was just BETTING & BETTING.

Conclusion

I am defeated once again, but not out of the battle field.. not yet!

If you fall down just pick yourself up and dust yourself off... and start walking again... soon you will learn to RUN
