Hi milind,
The main problem people will lose money in trading is not because they dont know technical analysis as profs do know , but they view this activity as Gambling and not Business.
For any Business to accumulate , it has to make expenditure.
In trading world , the expenditure is loss. However, loss or expenditure should not exceed income!!!!
That is where money management comes in, it limits your expenditure or loss and maximises your profits.
While undertaking any trade , you must know wht you will lose if market proves you wrong. For that you need to find the stop loss order which may be below the most recent swing low for long position or most recent swing high for short position. Then you should convert your stop into 2% rule.
Eg. If the stop is Rs 10/- and the buying price is 200 , and you have 1,00,000/- as trading capital,
Then it goes like this:
2% of 1,00,000/- is 2,000/-
your stop is Rs 10/-
So you will buy 2000 divided by 10 = 200 shares only
By this method , you limit your risk , you get proper position size and when u profit it is good.
Thanxs
