  • Hardly traded futures this month. That accounts for lower brokerage and taxes etc.
  • Still haven't found a solution to the "buy above" and "sell below" for futures. Maybe I'll start buying / selling at limit price as per the direction.
  • Didn't overtrade in Feb, but there was that one "mad/suicidal" day when I didn't cancel the order when otherwise busy; the order got triggered and SBIN reversed, and being the expiry day screwed me.
  • I still feel unprotected against swift and large movements so I do not carry my trades long. I book out early. That's ok with me if the losses are controlled.

Let's see what the next month brings. Will focus more on "no loss" days. Will concentrate on ending this month in green instead of red.

Sir

In last month you broke one of the core and iron trading rules very clearly: Concentrate on trading and nothing else during day trading. Guess you break this rule regularly, as you have an other business to handle beside trading. Probably many times it did not matter, but this only one time gave a deep cut into your portfolio and wiped out a few days of profit. I have seen and recognized this behavior many times in the forum from many other lovers of day trading. Such events should wake up the affected persons according to this problem. Any way: I wish you a successful coming month.

I place order like "Buy BNF above 10750, trigger 10750 limit 10752" when it is trading at 10735 and expected to go up. I seem to be catching the tops / bottoms that way.

Soma, I am running a shop too 9am to 8pm. Hence the distractions as the customer standing on my head here has the right of the way. I guess I need to manage my orders better.

1) there should be a column in excel "balance capital".
2) if the number of trades is not much ie 1-2 trades per day then share the trades on big profit/loss day(>1000) , to know what went good/wrong.

Intraday futures, maybe only 3-4 trades in options.

Heck, I know what went wrong (the usual), it's the repairs that I am working on now. As I wrote earlier, not yet a postmortem.
