Re: Time to Stick my Neck Out ,Nifty 7300
Asish, Deb,
one thing I wanted to ask you two....
when i joined this forum, i noticed that mostly scalping trades were being done... +10 or +15 pts (gross profit) were considered to be ok.... even one member, GAUTAM (gkpc) showed a way of doing such trading... i tried to do such trades, but i noticed that on an average, 2 small positive trades' profit is eaten up by one trade going totally wrong against you. One ends up with nearly zero gross profit with brokerage, etc resulting in net loss... Also, less gross profits require more trades, which then actually result in more costs...
That's why i am trying to incorporate Pivot trading (SPOT) with your style of trading... I initiate a trade at a particular support/resistance level. After a trade is initiated, i book part profits (enough to cover costs) and then let it ride till the relevant support/resistance level comes
On days like today,where there are big moves, both types of trading (scalping & postional) would have same result... But there are rangebound days too... How do you manage costs then? Do you have access to any special brokerage scheme, etc???
Please, i would like to know your views/comments on this ....
please guide me.
