i lost money in intraday trade for the past two days

#21
I just started trading a few days back. I use HDFCSecurities.com to trade. Initially I started with very small amount but then since minimum transaction fee is Rs 25 which adds up to Rs 40/- including securities transaction tax , I decided to increase my amount. For first few days I was making regularly 2000-3000 rupees everyday and I thought I had found a way of alternate income but then the lightning struck and I lost quite a few amount of money so I learnt my lessons:
1. Control greed. This is the most evil virtue and needs to be controlled.
2. Don't trade everyday. Its surely a recipe of disaster. You can't be lucky everyday.
3. Learn..learn...learn...a sound fundamental knowledge of market is very necessary.
4. Maintain a buy position in those shares where even if the selling strategy fails you can buy them at the end of day.
5. Invest in education and don't panic. I am willing to undergo a technical analysis course. Someone has any idea if there is any online course for it. Its better to invest money into education rather than lost it in the market.
6. Happy trading:clap:

Hi Stock72,

For beginners, I think its not easy...you have lot of experience and you have TOTA system..:lol:

It would be great help for beginners if you can put some light on how to face difficult situations and hedge the position to carry the positional trades...because without hedging in a gap up/down beginner may lose entire capital and it would take time to recover...

Can you give few tips from your TOTA system :thumb:

Title of the thread is you lost money in last 2 days. There is no reason for loosing money in last 2 days in daytrading ......so you are doing something wrong. You have to find out what is that.

Without understanding what is going wrong, just shifting to swing or position trading is no escape and no recipie for success.

You need to do a honest analysis of what is going wrong. The points you mentioned above are general points. There could be something beyond these. Do your own analysis.
