To Trade or Not to Trade : The Most Important Question


In trading activity alone does not make money, the right activity at the right time is what makes money. Many times the right thing, is to do nothing.
In your actual trading you have to do four things very well to make money.
You have to know when to get in.
Only enter trades that have the highest probability of success and the best risk/reward ratio. Buy the best monster stocks during up trends. Short the fallen leaders when the game changes and they are under the 50 day. Buy the monster stocks at the gift of the 200 day moving average. Short down trending junk stocks. Go where the trends are.
You have to know when to get out.
When your trade reverses through a key support get out. When the market trend changes get out of your long positions. When your stop loss is hit, get out. When the stock reverses and hits your trailing stop, get out.
You have to know when to stay in.
If you enter a stock with the potential to trend let it run as far as it will go. Do not set a target, just trail your winner with a stop. Let the stock tell you when it is done running. Do not cut your winners short.
And most importantly you have to know when to stay out.
If you do not know what to do, do nothing. If the charts confuse you, stay out. If the volatility is escalating and you are losing in every trade, stay out. If you are a trend trader and you see no potential trends, stay out. If you want to go long but all the stocks you want are going down, stay out.

Every stock Market participant during last 2 days have not spent as much time with their wife /gf /husband /bf as they have spent on researching Adani stocks. 9.

Pre - Market Analysis (16th June 2022)

U.S Markets closed higher Yesterday. Right now Dow futures are higher by 140 points. Asian markets are higher. SGX nifty is indicating a gap up opening. Yesterday as anticipated Fed increased the interest rates by 75 basis points. This is the largest increase since 1994. There was a relief rally due to the same in U.S market and U.S VIX crashed 10%. How long will this relief rally go on is a big question. Our Markets were terrible yesterday. Everybody is shorting left , right and center. Yesterday all Put options premiums raised in last 30 mins. Even 15200 PE which is 500 points away from spot rose from 4rs to 13rs. Today we might get some short covering as we open and even head higher. 16000 should be a firm resistance for the day. I won't chase this gap up because when Market reverses it's with great speed. I'll look to short near 15950-15980 with a stoploss of 16020. In Bear markets the rallies sre quite ferocious but again markets make fresh lows. So remembe

Pre - Market Analysis (18th August 2022)

U.S Markets closed Flat Yesterday. Asian markets are mixed. SGX Nifty is close to 17940 right now. Yesterday markets broke out of 17900 and now are closer to 18000. 18000 is important as 18000 CE has the highest open interest. Highest amount of calls have been written for 18000 CE strike price. Plus round figures always act as psychological resistance too. Today is the weekly expiry and as of now the range is 17800 to 18000. 17800 is a strong support level and 18000 might act as resistance. Markets will gain steam once 18000 is taken out. Today could be a side-ways expiry. But nothing can be said as markets can always surprise you. IT Index has crossed 30k. Sensex yesterday hit a landmark of 60k. Sensex and Nifty both are now just 3% away from all time highs. So this isnt just a Bull Market , it's a raging Bull Market. India VIX closed below 18 yesterday. Bank Nifty is close to important levels of 40k. Once these important levels are taken out then we move towards all t
