hi. further i start my journey...
TRADE ELEMENT...
1] STUDY MARKET...CONSIDER GLOBAL VILLAGE CONCEPT...
WHERE INDIA IS SUPERIOR...
EXPORT..OF SERVICE.. SOME CHEAP MEDICINE...AUTO ANCILLIARY
JEWELLARY EXPORT
U IDENTIFY ..BEFORE..OTHERS...DEFINITELY MAKE MONEY...

2]MONEY FLOW CONCEPT..
WHETHER FURTHER MONEY SHALL COME INDIAN STOCK MARKET..
PRESENTLY YES..
3]RISK OF FAILURE THIS PREMISES....
can indian product its cheapness..be maintained..
do fii money shall continue to pour....
failure of PREMISE must be checked,,FROM INFO ONLY...
4]uncertain factor

global and local
IMPACT STUDY MUST BE READY ATLEAST IN MIND
this is i call visualisation..
so that u can act when it happen...
5]MICRO VIEW...
INDIVIDUAL STORY OF ANY COMPANY..
6] WHAT MAY HAPPEN TO MARKET...AS PER BIG ANALYSIST
MIND IT ITS AN OPENION , NEVER TRUE ...
AFAILED TRADER.. ANALYST IS BORN...
7] CHECK PRICE...ITS SUPREME...ALL IFS & BUTS COME LATER...
so ta is helpful isnt???
forget pattern , follow what price is telling...
it shall move up or down..
use ma..ma.x as hints..
depending upon.. your time frame.. uplimit...price target
down limit .. loss pt...
now observe PRICE...WHO IS WILLING BULLOR BEAR...
join the winner..
trend is nothing but strengh in direction..
[ i am lucky, my wife is moody..i know mood swing..]
yes the REVERSE CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME..
[ I AM LUCKY..MY BOSS knew share,,trade..understand time management..single direction minded..go and get it..always ready for worst case scenario..a man who executed and guide 20 projects..
flexibility..calmness. puzzlesolving..direction orientation..natural]

7]now comes entry..here the puzzle starts..
breakout..
pullback
retracement..
oversold condition..
as per me...all of them given SUCCESS to me..at partcular time..
definitely failed in different market condition..
YES THE VARIABLE.. MARKET..CONDITION..STRATEGY CHANGE ACCORDINGLY..
STUDY NEWS FLOW,,ITS REACTION ..DEFINITELY ..U CAN TELL HOW
PRICE SHALL BEHAVE..
if wrong ..stoploss is there to safe guard..
8] my strength..academic knowledge of statistics..+ operation research
study and play chess..as amateur32yr..
work as driller..project executor..
9] nonfinance background..poor knowledge.in basic computer..
THIS 2 R MY WEAKNESS..

DIARY WRITING A MUST FOR ANY TRADER..HERE I LAGG..
I CAN NOT..[HI I WORK 12HR ADAY..5 DAYS WEEK..]
+ PERSUE..TRADING HOBBY..
so i suggest weekly once writing,..
but ,u pro write daily..my advise to all ..newbees..

now u must experiment..
as amateur.. min. 3 entry and exit style...
as pro as much as u can...
more than 30 stock system i personally tested..
std software../ can do it...
for conceptual development bil william MUST...
LISTEN TO RAKESH JUNJUNWALA...
ANY PRO CAN TEACH U..
provided u honestly know your strength and weakness..
hard part is TO MODIFY ..YOU..YOUR HABIT..
earlier u start is better..

trading plan..
recently.. many a teach it..
money management..u learn it..
when to pyramid ..when to fold..
PRACTICE THEM IN REAL TIME IS DIFFICULT..
I CONFESS INTRADAY I NEVER DO IT RIGHTLY..
IN WEEKLY SIGNAL BASE ENTRY..I DO OCCATIONAL RIGHT

NEWS STUDY..
by far capitalmarket.com..best..
openion and info use .. moneycontrol.com
equitymaster ok..
i am told motilal excellent..by i dont know..
ask any fund manager..
learn how they make openion..its not the openion BUT PROCESS OF MAKING IT..HERE LIES KEY..
last but not the least..
never feel stress..[in profit orloss live as stoic]

SO NOW U R ATRADER..
