Risks involved in increasing 1-2 lots per month in stock futures

#1
Friends,
In traderji I have come across different posts saying that dont increase no of lots per month even if you are profitable in nifty or stock futures.
Also, I have seen many posts which say do not multiply your profit and no of lots. Share your thoughts on this, why is there any risk involved?

I trade two scripts and I do trade positional. My max no of trades per month are 15-20 per scrip. I guess if we increase no of lots then slippage will also increase.

Well, as you trade 15 - 20 trades per script per month as you say, how does it come that you have such questions?

Does that mean that you trade without any money managment or what coud be the reason for it?

As you do 30 - 40 trades per month, why didn't you test it until now with just some of those trades?

I tried it with SBIN, I had to give 4 points for just slippage points, this happened for 2 trades. I dont have any clue to overcome this problem of slippage points.

Thanks for the kind answer.

Well, that makes 8 points in two trades. How many points do you make per trade?

As you ask for the risk of involving your lot size per month I am not clear what you want to say with your post about the slippage?

The whole question first has to do with MM and to me it seems that here some thing is missing in case you asked the question the right way. :)

If the increase in lot size is a problem to bigger slippage, I would be surprised. But it seems that many thing are possible in your place. Have never heard that or expirieced it in reallity by my self. If the amounts of lots gets to big, then just start to split it when you enter the market with it. But I guess that is really not your problem.

Why don't you contact SBIN about that matter?

nothing to hide from you, one famous quote says dont hide anything from ur doctor and advocate and for trading dont hind anything from TRADERJI members :thumb:: I am doing trading from last 3 yrs and that was investment and in cash segment of course. After that I decided to take trading as carrier so started paper trading, doing it from last 1.5 yrs. I am working in MNC and now serving notice period. :thumb: I was trading in futures as part time trader just to learn. I will start actual trading in futures once my notice period ends. Plan is to increase portfolio slowly by increasing lots hence this question. If it does not work then will go back service industry again. I am unmarried and my age is 28. I know the importance of MM which plays vital role in futures trading. I have kept 5L for trading and will start in SBIN with 2 lots.

It seems when you make up your mind to enter, you do so at market, and hence there will be slippage. Why not enter price at limit and then wait for your trade to get triggered at a price to your comfort zone (without slippage.?) If you watch a script long enough, you will get many opportunities to enter at your price.

I use SL-M order to enter into the market. So I enter trigger price, the requirement if stock crosses x price then enter other wise wait for stock to break the price. But once price is broken I want to make entry into the market so I use SL-M order. :thumb:
