Shaw,

Thanks for volunteering.:thumb:

copy and save this Supertrend AFL. I hope you know that you need to have RT data feed for Nifty futures.

Reverse writing our brain.

At the initial years, whatever you do you will loose money in trading. It has got something to do with our psychology. We are wired by nature to loose money in the market. Unless we rewire our brain, it is almost impossible to win in this market. But, how to do it?

If you recall your earlier trading experiences, it is clearly evident that you played to win in this market. But the result you lost. If we by choice play to loose in the market, will we win, just being the opposite of what we had been doing.

Lets start rewiring our brains.

We will aim to loose our money in the next 30 trading days. But there is a catch. We need to loose our money by being and following some laid down criteria. Simply you cannot through your trades and loose money. There will be entry criteria, Stop loss and exit rules. Any loss made without following this criteria does not amount to loosing your money. Any loss made out of this scope is regarded as gambling activity which is not at all associated with Trading.

So, for simplicity, we will have an exact entry criteria, Stop Loss exits and Profit target exits. Our aim is to exit all our trades in next 30 trading trades, at Stop Loss hits. We have been making losses all these years. It should not be difficult to achieve this. If the trade does not hit your stop loss, but goes otherside far....then too far........then tooooooooooooo far, we will exit the trade with profit on meeting with some criteria because we donot want to earn more in this trade because the profits are getting added to capital and we will not be able to loose money within 30 trading days.

Hope I am clear. If you are clear with this I will set some rules and we will start the excerise.

intersting...
how much time it ll take to rewire?
i m askin this bcos even while reading ur post my brain refused to believe that we ll be aiming for stoploss.

Suri garu,

I am not full time trader, but i will be watching the system (charts) whenever time permits and Rt chart feeding to AMI is available. If this is ok with you, Then I am also in.

Welcome. Spare few minutes a day on Nifty futures chart and this thread, you will see some change in your trading results.
