From past few days i jhave started intraday trading.

I try to trade for 25000 rupees and go for 100-200 rupees profit per trade day and once i get it .I exit that stock and cohose it again after seeing buy-sell numbers.

But my last trade have gone totally wrong.I shorted ganesh jewelery in last session and first made approximately 300 buks in a day.Just to try luck again i again shorted since number of sellers were 70000 compare to 61000 share buy orders.

But all of a sudden trade went wrong.Chart changed to 70000 shares buy with 30000 sell ordes in few seconds.As i was confident again that price will come down i avoided a stop-loss(my blunder).And finally ended a day with 1700 rupees loss as the stock went 6 rupees high before square off.

Anyways i know my mistake was i avoided my downside.
But problem is i get confuse in keeping 2 orders as i am preety new and some time make mistake while deciding trigger or already my trade have gone to exchange and than i try to modify my trade and keeping trigger which doesnt take place at all.


Now there is some new function called cover orders in hdfcsec.But i am unable to decide or understand since one order has to be at market price.

I dont want to force a trade anyday.

Say shares of shree ganesh jewel is 3 rupees above previous close of 90 and i want to place sell order at 95 and ill cover it once it reach 94 .
But in cover order i see first order is at trading market price.Is that true?Or am i missing something.

That way it looks to force a trade.

By the way one CANNOT trade based ONLY on volume of BUY /SELL ..

For example assume Ganesh Jewellery is trading at 92.50 and buyers are 10000 and sellers are 20000 .....Going buy your post if one assumes sellers are more and the price might still go down .......What if some one as placed an order of 15000 At 105, 106 or even higher ....Remaining 5000 may be orders of 10, 20, 50 ,100 etc.... orders ....Traders can always place huge orders at very low/high price to confuse Others who TRY to trade based ONLY on Volume .....Isnt it .....!!!

By the way ...A Question ....Does HDFC Securities Allow Shorting in Equities ...?

Just My 2 Paisa ......:D

I agree sir and the same happened with me.I should have made trade base on some news channel tip .Anyways.I read the faq but its still a bit bouncer.

And yes they allow shorting with margins.But yes no e- margins right now.

hi….would like to inform, cover order facilitates you to place 2 opposite orders simultaneously, for same scrip...where 1st order has to be the market order and other opposite stop loss limit order(mentioning the SL & trigger.price). Cover will help you to take a position at current rate & also facilitates to place a sl order against that order...the margin requirement will be lower than the normal margin product
