Priya,
A friendly advice, please don't over-trade. From experience I believe if anybody involves in more than 3 different stocks in the same day than something has to be drastically right/wrong with the individual,his/her trading technique or that day.
Regards,
BJ
Yea ... I am also feeling so that I traded too much ...
Still anyway ... I feel I am getting the understanding some good sense of the discipline needed for day trading ... Yesterday and today I put stop-losses to all my trades! ... modified them as needed!! ...
This is so satisfying!
... i had no confidence that I can put stop loss and also trail a stop loss ... there was such a mental block (phobia) @ this ... and finally I achieved what I wanted ... the stop loss relieves so much insecure feeling inside me ...
... I don't think playing more than 3 stocks is foolish or ill practice ... It is subjective and depends on persons comfort level ... and I feel If I get
disciplined enough I can play in 10 stocks a day without problem ... If one is having the capacity to put
relaxed attention for
whole day , then trading is such a
mechanical thing! ,... there should not be ANY problem while playing more than 3 up to 10-12 stocks ...
... My system is still under development, script is not finalized yet! ... My mind needs all the answers to all if-else things for fear and greed in trading ... So I am still not 100% comfortable ...
... but stop loss has put down 65% tension from my brain ... Now entry problem is 60 -70 % solved and exit problem is 20-30 % solved ... Position sizing is
still unsolved ... I am taking positions just on impulse ...
... Only peoples over
50 years age call me
priya ... So i
hope you are
more than
50 years old!
