Guys, when you are trading NR7 setup with positional/delivery, have you ever tried reversing the positions with increasing the lot size ? let me explain.
Take my example of Havelles:
I have bought one lot of Havelles @ 742 (NR7 High), the stock reached my 1:1.5 Risk reward target of 758 but i did not book profits at that time. Later the stock started falling and reached my Stop Loss 732(NR7 Low).
So I reversed my position as per NR7 setup and went short @ 732 but at the end of the trade the stock closed around 738, leaving me in more loss. So i squared off position in Loss. (10 + 6= 8000 Rs. loss) 500 is lot size
But what eventually happened is, stock fallen much and today touched low of 668. Yes I was not disciplined enough to catch this profit. 64 Rs per lot profit (RS.32,000)
What I learned is we all know that we should reverse the position when stop loss is hit,but if you increase your lot size when you reverse the position you gain much more.
When Stop Loss hit and if instead of shorting 1 lot @ 732, if shorted 2 lots @ 732, my profits would be 64,000 Rs.
I have just completed the back testing in Excel. What I have observed is
when your trade ends in loss, then reverse the position with 1+ lot. Keep adding it until you end up in profit.
Consider the below example of Jubliant stock:
19th April is the NR7 day. Next day the stock crossed NR7 low of 1153,
so I went short of 1 lot at 1153. I hold the stock for few days. and the MtM is calculated till 25th April.
On 25th, my Stop Loss of NR7 high(1177) is triggered. My Loss was Rs.1500(-6 points*250 lot size)
So I went long @ 1177 with 2 lots
I hold the stock for few days. and the MtM is calculated till 3rd May.
My Stop Loss of NR7 Low 1153 was hit again on 3 May. My loss was Rs. 15000 (-30 points* 2 lots=30*250*2=15000)
I went short of 3 lots at 1153. I hold the stock for few days. and the MtM is calculated till 10 May.
In the third trade, I was in profit. Now my total profit from 4th May to 10th May is 77 points. Profit is 77*250(lot size)*3 lots = 57750.
On the whole when i complete 3 trades, i end up 2 trades in loss 1500+15000 but the 3rd trade resulted in profit of Rs. 57,750.
Let me know in case of any questions.
