Which is best for the pocket?
Day-Trading, Futures Trading or Options trading?
Hi,
I want to know the benefits of all these three trading on the NSE/BSE and come to a conclusion for the best and most economical trade /trading strategies except short-term or long term buying of shares,which i feel is the most economical and reasonable equity investment option.
My trading platform is Motilal Oswal, and i give the break up of charges of my trading done in futures on March 20,07.
Total lots traded :-200/ Lot of 50 traded 4 times.Net gain 4-5 points in each session.
Profit shown =Rs.1500. Actual profit= Rs.369!
Break-up of charges:=
1)Commission of trading [email protected] ps for buy/sell=Rs.92.50 each for buy and sell.
2)Service Tax=Rs.11.32.
3)STT=Rs.31.57 for both buy and sell.
4)Transaction charges=Rs.34.
5)Stamp duty-Rs.33.21

See, how it 'sucks' your profit.What you see on your screen is not believing!!
Day-Trading:=
Buy 61 Century textiles at Rs.526.75 and closed the position at.Rs.528.15.
Total Profit =Rs.85.40
What you get =Rs.7.30!
1)Commission-trading brokerage=Rs.13 approx
2)Service Tax=Rs.5/-
3)STT=Rs.8-
4)Transaction Charges=Rs.2.5
5)Stamp Duty=Rs.1.5

This too becomes a 'costly afffair!'

Options/NiftyBuy 3700 CE at 57.70 and close at 59.
Gross gain =Rs.100 approx.Actual profit(loss)=Rs.79i.e=-7!

Break-up of charges:-
1)Commission for trading brokerage=Rs.63/-
2)Service tax=Rs.7.50
3)STT=RS.32
4)Transaction charges=Rs.3
5)Stamp Duty=Rs.1.5
Thus it becomes imperative to trade with more lots thereby decrease commissions on brokerage,hold profits longer(in anticipation of markets being favourable ie, speculate more?)
Is it feasible???

larry williams also said the same things that u r saying...and showed many examples too...strange that he did it in a book that talks about short term trading...
