Normally, I wouldnt have more than 4-5 open positions at any given point in time. However, the charts of all the Buys esp. are too compelling to ignore. Such strong charts normally do not reverse & break down easily. Hence, I am looking to trade them consistently for some time. So 1-2 stop losses here & there are irrelevant in the larger scheme of things. Also, sitting on 2 shorts so the extra longs are not risky.

Was looking to go long either between Kajaria Ceramics & Havell's last week & I chose the former. The latter's run quicker though (up 5% today) :lol: Money management means I cant take any more longs.

This is how a stock teases traders sometimes & tests your instincts to exit sooner than is warranted by your method. Ajanta Pharma bought at 436.45 on 13th March goes to a high of 492, SL is trailed to 433.9, stock drops to 439, you are almost resigned to the SL being triggered any day now & watch what happens. Stock is up 7.5% today & has taken out the previous high of 492 :)

Kingfisher Airlines continues to drop (down 9% today) as if the company is shutting down tomorrow (well, that doesnt sound improbable :lol: ). How I wish it was still in the FnO segment. Lesson - Always trade what the charts are telling you & dont be fooled by the direction of the index. The stock might do the exact opposite.

Hey,

Thanks for sharing.

Ajanta Pharma looks great. It seems to be very volatile, as you have just said. What is your Target ?

Bata India also, the Pivotal Trend is up.

Great Going, again.

All the best once again.

Hi Sanju. Thanks for your encouragement.

When I enter any stock, I dont have any set target in mind. I will take whatever the market will give me. The only thing I know for certain is my Stop Loss. The idea is limit your downside & keep the upside open. So I am willing to lose only X but open to gain X, 2X, 3X or whatever the market decides to give. As long as the trailing Stop is not hit I will keep riding the winner. This way the risk-reward ratio is in my favour. This allows me to be profitable with an accuracy rate of even as low as 30%! So I can be stopped out 7 times out of 10 & still make money :D

Yes, Bata looks great. Its at an all-time high & should go up further.
