hi amit,
I am soo depressed now that I cannot even thank you the way I should have to. My broker sold my tata chemicals futures since I was in debit of around 20000/-(M to M) which I wanted to pay by cheque todays evening, causing me a loss of Rs.15000/- Regarding escorts at the moment it is showing support at 88,but still I am down Rs.30000/- I think I am not fit to trade and I donot think so I am intelligent enough to trade. (I should dump my university Rank certificates) Thanks you remember my ICICI query. In that trade also I took just 1/4th of profit in a hurry(or fear to loose even that) Now I am waiting sitting on huge losses. Exactly opposite of what experts guide us. That is the reason I am saying I am not (yet, perhaps) fit to trade. Thanks amit for your prompt reply, bye,

Hi Usha,
Your pain is very evident from this post and has pained(for want of a better word) many of us as well.I hope you recover from this pain,and bounce back and make it all back.
Usha,please take some advice from a person who has blown his account a few times,and realised that something need to be changed,and done the necessary.........Believe me when I tell you,that your losses are pittance once you start making it big.It is tough in the beginning,one just doesn't know what to do......but as already said by Jaideep,we all sustain losses everytime.If I were to show you all my trades in a month,you will see that I have more losses than gains,but small losses and big gains.
Yes,you took a hit........but don't give up.There's amethod to this madness,there are many who are making lakhs per day,why not you?You can do it.........throw away your certs(not meaning that literally!),they are of no use here.I am a doctor,who cares,the market certainly doesn't care.......it's all about strategy and discipline and doing it again and again and again.You could be an illiterate or an atomic physicist,you will succeed if you follow all the right strategies and disciplines.
Usha,now is the time for education..........learn entry points,exit points through stops,profit taking strategies,money management techniques,share sizing..........trade small in the beginning,stay away from daytrading for now,stay away from derivatives for now.
As your confidence picks up,and you start making money.......by all means increase your share size,get into daytrading or futures.......but a step at atime.
You are now playing with money that you are scared to lose.......you have got to learn the art of share sizing and Risk/Money Mangement rules.Don't give up.........believe me when I tell you that you can make it big,but first educate yourself.
Wishing you all the best!
Saint
