I sqaured of 1 lot mini nifty and all calls for thi month..Loss of over 40k...
feel very sorry for you, lalith, but u had taken so many call options at a variety of strike prices (i guess purchased at higher levels)...
atleast that 1 lot of mini future u could have in short position as insurance...
for positional trades, i usually go long after many days' fall at strong chartical RSR levels, and vice versa for shorts...
u can check out my prev posts... i had suggested the strong support of 3750 as stop for longs at 3800.
recently, i had doubted the bulls' ability to cross 4700 and purchased puts at 4620... u have to play these levels like a tennis game...
that's why i had booked majority of calls yesterday at around 4415, and i had mentioned that i will add more only when spot 4447 gets taken off (which did not happen today).
infact, if one is bearish for short term (for eg) one should not add on shorts when prev day LOD breaks, but when there are intraday rallies. You should have a clear chartical stop in mind.
One last thing, my friend - never take up so many positions on a single side that u become so biased that u cant even imagine the reverse of your position or dont have much liquidity left to hedge your views/position.
Keep studying the posts by Saint sir (i have learnt how to add on positions from his posts) and take inspiration from Satyajit Da's discipline & his clear "trendy" charts.
I think this is the second time this has happened with you within a month or so. Being your well-wisher, I would just SCOLD you for not following your OWN rules, which u had posted here sometime back (mainly of not following your stop)
