Hi AlRoyRaj,
Firstly, My sincere apologies for the delay...in replying
1) If you have been predominantly an intraday trader then, it becomes so much more difficult to be a positional trader. Since the appetite for overnight risk is almost not present.
2) In a trending market like the one we have been witnessing since Feb.'09 it was far more rewarding to be a positional trader than a intraday trader.
3) To be a Positional trader there are a few qualities that one must develop
a) To correctly identify the overall trend
b) To correctly identify the sector tailwind
c) Within the sector to correctly identify the scrip that will be most favoured
4) In a trending market there is yet another way for entry for those with very little risk appetite
a) Identify the major support level where if not broken, to make an entry
What the above does is reduce the risk of major downside from entry.
To illustrate an example:
let's say Scrip A has a support 100 and has only dipped below a little bit during intraday... therefore it becomes a good entry point because downward risk is atleast known before taking an entry & hence your risk is only limited to the break of the support levels.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scaling up or scaling down...is another way of compounding profit in a position thus, creating that extra bit of margin of safety.
All the strategies outlined are valid for Futures segment.... & can be tweaked for individual's personal preferences.
If I have missed something please feel free to query.....will try and do my best in terms of reply.
Happy & Safer Trading
