Re: Time to Stick my Neck Out ,Nifty 7300
gr8 to see u makin money out of the indicator..although backtesting is showing not such gr8 results as said by sanjay.kindly post a chart of ur todays trade marking where u went long,short & stopped out.it will help all of us to see the indicator again in a new light.

1)no. of wins
2)no.of losses
3)no. of points won
3)no. of points lost
4)how many times stopped out.
in fact u shud mantain a diary of these records urself.after 2 - 3 months u can find out the effectiveness of the indicator.
Sir, Thanks for your advise. I am already keeoing notes and now onwards shall be even more particular to maintain the trade diary.
I wasnt trading today but my friend who has a terminal and at whose place i am running the metastock he traded 10 lots and made excellent money by any standards.
He exited 6 lots every time at net 15 points gain and carried the balance 4 lots till reversal. On four ocassions as predecided he exited 6 lots at 15 points and balance at achieving ~1%... it was an excellent day. Only one trade hit SL of around 4/5 points.
The net result of my friend was simply unbelievable......
He took chances not becose of anything else but because the data was pathetic...
But he was lucky at crucial junctures the system did not fail.
I am really really happy inspite of it that i did not make money....but i am learning.
The input by SGM and a few PM have been really really really encouraging and all of it due to uashish n rkkarnani!!!
Once i start trading fully I may not be able to post trade live.... I do know they are of no use to any one and my cause to write the trades here was to get directions from seniors and they have really obliged.
It is being a really very good learning expirience!!!
Thanks all!!!!!!!!
