I got one lesson for you... KEEP YOUR LEVERAGE AS HIGH AS 1:1
If you have 10,000/- in your account then do not buy for more than 10K and that too with an intention that you can hold it until the company goes bankrupt. This will impact max that you have to hold the security long enough to see the gains.
Long term investments are mostly short term investments went wrong... but in your case you are not giving yourself even this option... you have to close your position within 3 days. This way for sure someone will become crorepati.. not sure if that would be you.
Start with positional trading or swing trading... instead of trying to find target in Intraday charts... go do the same in EOD chart and see if your target can come... if it does come then fine if not then you still have them in your folio.
Hope you got my point... leverage kills... if it could take Lehman Brothers down to dust then you and I are no good.
