[Gaurav Kumar]

Dear Friends,

Read your reply to my post. Good.
Nice to see your strategy working. Good that u did not get frustrated and stopped posting. Let me tell you this exercise will help you improve your trading strategy.
Though I find a small anomaly , you seem to have advised exit in Sept. series yesterday but today you again advise to book profits??? I saw your post telling to exit sept as and when aug comes to 4450 or so....
Also do realise that hedging is also a form of stop loss, which you had not mentioned in your original, rather your First Post initiating this discussion.
I agree with my friend RKK that many posts here would not appear had it been mentioned in your original strategy.
Please keep it up and keep posting.
Wish your calls profits.....

Dear Friend,

Please read my post carefully and also see the time i posted. I said that is the august series comes back to 4440-4445 then exit september series. If you look at the time i posted and then look at the charts, you will find that the August series did not come back to 4440-4445 after my post. The lowest it hit was about 4455. So no action was to be taken.

I cannot say anything if people do not see the time at which posts are made.

If anybody proves that after my post the august series came down to 4445 i will stop writing and apologise.

Let me explain the logic of yesterday's post.

In my view market should have crashed after the CRR hike. I waited for a relief rally at which point i advised hedging. Now the market instead of falling started going up. This is contrary to all logic. So i questioned myself as to who would be driving up the market and why.

The answer to that in my mind was that there is someone big who wants to exit. So that person/group was driving up the prices. Now in my mind there were two possible patterns that were forming. Either the market would keep on going up, in which case, the person concerned would exit and the next day the market would fall, or he would like to take the market up even higher before exiting. In which case i expected that the market would correct again a little before moving up. If the market was to correct then, the question retaining the short position would not have been advisable. So my post.

In my post please again the "IF" as also check for yourself whether the market actually came down to that level after my post. I am sure you will find out for yourself that there are some people who seem to be going all out to discredit me... I dont mind that... For the loss is not mine..

I do not mind critisim, but misleading others is not what i think is right and not in the spirit of the forum.

With best wishes,

Gaurav Kumar

Nifty future has closed at 4300 odd. I believe we shall see nifty at around 4400 which will give us an opportunity to book profit on the nifty we purchased today at 4330. Of course after that also we would have one nifty still left in long position, but then overall we would have reached a level of profit.

Post on the current position will follow in the evening when i am free.

With bset wishes,

If Nifty future comes back to 4440-4445 today in August Series , we will exit the short position in nifty future (september series) as the market would rise tomorrow. If the market on the other hand does not correct we do not take any further action.

Dear Friends,

I re-read the post that i made earlier. It is reproduced above. At the time of writing of the post nifty aug future was at 4460 (members may confirm), so the interpretation had to be that teh market should fall to 4440-4445. At least that is how i meant to write. The word "correct" in the post also should have indicated that.

Perhaps some members did not understand that, maybe beacuse the post was written in a hurry as i was myself busy at that time on the terminal.

My apologies to anybody and everybody on that count. Will try to be more precise in my post so that there is no confusion..

With best wishes,

Gaurav Kumar

Dear RKKarnani,

Sorry if i hurt you. But you may understand that your comments as well as that of a couple of others earlier, seemed to mock me and so i started getting irritated with them (after all i am also a human being).

AS you have apologised, i consider you as a good human being. That is important. Please do continue with your posts, especially if you found my thread useful.

I will welcome your criticism. Would appreciate if you could word it in a manner which sounds like a discussion rather than an outright war.

With best wishes,

Gaurav Kumar

I went through the posts. Nice explanation by you and when I tried to understand your strategy it is nice and well planned and it takes time to understand to get the overall picture.

Many of our friends showed their interests by criticize (its a healthier word which helps everyone to learn) and show the importance of stop loss and any shortcomings.

I m a person who believes in strict stoploss. I understood that you are not comfortable with SL. Hedging is nothing but a SL (many wouldn't agree coz we are not booking loss) but it helps in identify the trend. Once we are certain with the trend then we book the loss and hedged position to nullify the additional loss.

I m really impressed with the way that u took the criticism as a healthier way for learning purpose. Please continue with your posts, I m really interested to see your overall strategy without SL.
