My EOD Stock trades......updated regularly Part 2
- Thread starter Nifty Trader
- Start date
Just two question, if you could please clarify :
What is the basis you decide the SL levels. Note that there are some trades that are in the money, but later get stopped out. So what determines the level of trailing SL?
Also, what determines the target?

Thanks Reggie. Appreciate your kind words. The idea is to show people what is possible even with a limited time involvement (End Of Day) trading strategy

Hi Reggie. The entry as well as SL levels are decided entirely by the software. No discretion there which is good as it takes the weakest link (human emotions) out of the equation.
This is a "keep your losses small and let your profits ride" strategy, hence there is no profit target. We will take as much as the stock wants to give us - whether 5% or 50%. In short, profits are determined by when our trailing SL is taken out.
The problem with profit targets is that the target is generally based on what we feel is adequate reward. However, markets being markets, they dont really care what target you have in mind. Setting targets also means you yourself have limited any possibility of windfall gains. These windfall gains might not come very often but when they do, it makes a tremendous difference to your trading profits. Case in point is Ajanta Pharma where gains were more than 50% and now DCM is also closing in on that figure. So imho, have a fixed target for SL and let the market decide your profits. This is another way to keep human emotion (fear) out of the equation by exiting early even though the stock may have steam left.
P.S. Pl note wherever I have said "you" I dont mean you as an individual. I mean each one of us individually as traders

Thank you NT for the comprehensive response. All questions answered. Your post will help to my understanding of using wider SL while taking positional trades.
God bless!

If you notice today's low of Bajaj Finance was 986.4, however our position is still standing. Reason - only 1 trade happened (50 shares) @ 986.4 at 9:15:02 i.e. within 2 seconds of the market opening. This is called a freak trade as the next trade that happened was at 1061.45 at 9:16:08.
Thats why its always best to place your trade 1-2 mins after the market opens esp. for stocks where the volume is not that high such as this one.
Now in backtesting on EOD charts one will think that the SL has been hit while in reality the position is still standing. The same thing happens with prices on the upside as well sometimes.
