Need some advice what I have done wrong todayThis was my thought process
1. Market opened lower, some pull back again down. So I fixed my range (long below 3425 n short above 3470) and started trading >> No TA used, just a guess or I felt like that.
Ans.Bro as it was expiry day and whole mnth didnot much to Bears it was expected to fall today No TA just a Layman Guess
2. Bought 2 lots of 3400 call @ 45 >> No SL defined
Ans. Never work w/o SL and on expiry day chose less amnt Option must had taken next mnth call if u want or this mnth 3500
3. Market further down still bought another 2 lot @38 to make the avg. at 41.5 with very tight SL o@35 >> Never Avg. the loosing trade.
Ans. Never avg a losing Trade
4. Market slipped further SL hit Rs. 1350 gone (not a big money at this time but if do the same when I start full fledge could be a big loss)
Ans Yes thats better always Think of loss and profit why n how that happen
5. Market recovered my call wend up to @44, felt sorry that my SL was to tight, thought of buying it again but somehow managed to avoid trade by buying it virtually
Ans. Never be sad on spoiled milk
6. It was @12.20 at the end, I lost another 4400 virtually.
Ans.On expiry day try to exit all options around 3pm if u r not in or more then 50% profit
So now question is ...
