Hello, my first post

#1
I joined this group recently. Very useful. There are lot of members giving out genuine advice to avoid losses to other members. I have been in the market since 1995. I remained a passive investor for several years.

Between 2006-2008, I was actively investing Around 2008-09, I operated my wife's account in Karvy and again remained passive in Indian market as I was abroad for 3 years. While in abroad, I attempted with very high risk CFD (extremely high margin) trading but was a disaster.

While in abroad, I used to read lot of books on stock market history, history of investors who made or lost money and on technical analysis. I am fairly good in charting drawing support and resistance lines but bad in setting correct stops and end up losing money in carrying over losing trades and quickly realising gains in profit making trades.

About 5 months ago, I opened a trading account with HSBC InvestDirect due to the convenience of 3-in-1 account. The system works but customer service sucks. I will post a separate thread regarding a question on FNO margin which no one explains to me correctly from the customer service until I reached a stage of about to pay penalty charges for margin shortfall.
