Just sharing my little experience.
Time and again it happens. But herds gets slaughtered again and again Today market was expecting something. Results of Infosys and then IIP numbers both were more than expectations.
Last time when IIP numbers were out I remember 5180 was res and the market broke it and would have sucked so many traders to go long and then a big crash of 60 points in 5 minutes. After so many blunders and costly pains I was alert that day and placed my Short order @Low Of The Day and within half an hour my day was made.
Today ,If the IIP numbers were more than expectations then why it would fall like a dog? Its nothing but a trap by Big fishes who always have collaboration with business news channels.Today's chart itself says it all.
My intention is to tell new day traders that don't go by what herds or news channels say but to have something in place to see whats really going on.
One more example is when we heard news of real estate crash in Dubai. On that day everyone was heavy bearish and everyone thought Nifty would go to "Paataal".In news channels I felt the news readers were almost weeping
Then Everyone who were short got buldozed before they could realise as to whats going on.
So it helps if we think different from the crowd.
