Performance Postmortem

[aja]

In November, I traded Oriental Bank. I trade anywhere from 100-1500 shares. I keep a buy/sell order at 5 paisa intervals. Say, if I feel that it's going up, I will keep buy order from 126 to 125 - 100 shares per order - at 5 paisa intervals. I like to square off at 60-80 paisa.

you prefer only banking stocks?Union Bank was ur ride in a last quarter.
yes,such low priced scrips have benefit of placing order at 5 paisa interval,but if they reversed they move almost 1r quickly.

as you are managing Eq perfectly(no loss in this session) then it'd be better if you trade Eq only as benefit of spread is missing in f&o.

That's true, but what kind of stoploss would one keep for this ? Just in case of whipsaws (of which there are plenty in intraday).

I don’t know.... it does differ from person to person according to their trading style……

as per my understanding it depend on … trading capital & your risk taking capacity & how you trade & what type of trading tool you use & market volatility…

in simple word you have to decide on your own after all its your profit / loss….

It seems to me that if one is not oversmart, then usually the PSU banks can give you 50-80 paisa returns most of the sessions.

OBC has a range of about 4Rs. per session, is volatile enough in futures to scare you or hit stoploss, has decent retracements to allow you at least breakeven exit, and has good leverage in Zerodha (100 shares for less than Rs. 500 using bracket order

From the AVG250 its clear that your system is getting profitable day by day...

 

[timepass]

Budget day. No trading today, so posting January results.

January 2018 was yet another slow month, inconclusive in the first half, profitable second half (details). Traded a lot of equities, OBC mainly. Seems doable. Let's see if it yields similar results further on.

AVG21 is +440.68, AVG63 is +262.96, AVG250 is -139.49 and AVG500 is -271.38

Year 2018 is +9527.55 YTD.

 

[timepass]

February 2018, was more of the same, but thankfully again ended in green (details). As in the past, I am counting the brokerage refund as trading income.

Seems that I simply do timepass till about 19-20th of the month, and then get my act together. Will need to work on that.

Of the 18 sessions in January, there were 12 profitable sessions giving a profit of 13703, 4 losing sessions with a loss of 4882, and 2 no trade sessions.

AVG21 is +492.49, AVG63 is +373.68, AVG250 is +12.64 and AVG500 is -325.73

Feb 2018 profit was 8821.52 and Year 2018 is +18349.07 YTD.
