Dear Fellow Traders:
This is my first post.
I do the NIFTY futures rarely now as the profit (ROC) is too low. So I have switched to STOCK futures where I get more return for the capital blocked. I target a ROC of 5% per day. So 100 good days and 50 bad day should give approx. 250% ROC/annum.
I am not a great believer in technicals. I see the history of the past few days/weeks/month, the news and most IMPORTANTLY the minute-to-minute movement from 09.55to 15.30 Hrs. IST.
There does not appear to have been any optimistic news to have triggered yesterday's (01/08/2008) SPOT 81 Pts. rise. It could be a reversal of an oversold position in certain NIFTY scripts ( SBI, HDFC, WIPRO, BHEL, RELIANCE ). As a matter of fact international cues pointed to a fall early yesterday and the news later was also bad. So a fall on Mon. 04/08/2006 seems more likely than a rise.
Lets hope for the best - rise or fall - traders work both ways to hopefully make some gain.
