I am short NIFTY AUG @ 4477, can I hold it or book losses. Is there any further downside expected? Experts please suggest. thanks!
This question needs more serious answer.
Vikas,the market and Nifty are in uptrend and we assume that they will remain in uptrend till they show a trend reversal....so far there is no sign of trend reversal but there are plenty of signs to indicate that the trend is pretty strong.....
Does it mean that nifty will not come down ?? Not at all...but we dont know when it will come down and more importantly how high it will go before a trend change sets in....
In my opinion best course is to cover your short position in any dip and get into the main trend which is up.....with this short position you are loosing all the profits which you would have made if you were in proper trend ie long...Now what is happening is all your energy is being wasted in finding out/taking remedial action on reducing loss.....you are missing profit making opportunity.....so if you go short and market goes against you,cut your loss and join the trend.....
It also does not mean that we should always be long....be long in uptrend and short in downtrend...and how do you know whether you are in uptrend or downtrend ???? This is what a forum like Traderji is for...look around,do your study and know and trade the trend....
My best wishes for salvaging your position at the minimum losses....
