U r right
After looking at charts of my trades i cant make head or tail
but for e.g
take Hindzinc
a nice uptrend
at 1:04 i enter at 660, the previous reastion was at 655 so i put SL at 655
not it breaches that & the uptrend resumes
Specifically i want to capture even 1/2 of the moves like this
Satyam from 10.35 to 12.10 & again from 12.10 to 1.46
these moves were perfect trends

NAVEEVIa,

Obviously you don't have a trading plan. Just curious, how do you trade?

To make things easier (for starters), it goes like this: Trend on Dailies>Trend on 60 minute?> then you trade on 5 or 10 minute charts. Read Dr Alexander Elder's books.

Well my stretegy is like this
1. Find 100 most active stocks
2. Look for those which have become unusually active
3. Find trending one
4. enter with sl of 0.5%
5. For profit i trail my stoploss
The biggest problem is my stops get hit 9 out of 10 times
i know my psychological side is worst for a trader
But if i want to accomplish anything in life its this. to daytrade successfully
U ppl may laugh at this but my daily return target is 10% thats why i use such a high leverage
But yeah on the homework side i am nil
Thnx
Naveen
HI NAVEE,

I THINK AS A NOVICE TRADER YOU ARE DOING QUITE WELL, BECAUSE YOU ARE ALWAYS USING A 0.5% STOPLOSS. THATS THE MOST IMPORTANT POINTS YOU ARE FOLLOWING REGULARLY. I APPRECIATE YOUR MENTAL STRENTH. YOUR STOPS ARE GETTING HIT 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 TRADES, STILL YOU ARE USING MENTIONED STOPLOSS LEVELS. THATS A GREAT THING TO BE A SUCCESSFULL TRADER. THE PROBLEM WITH YOU THAT YOU ARE DOING TOO MUCH TRADES IN A DAY & TRY TO FIND A PIN POINT ENTRY POINT FOR YOUR TRADES.

Thats fine, but how do you go with the breakouts ( pin point entries) because a breakout is always after the fact event.
Where do you buy/sell, SL etc ( pin point)

place a limit order before the breakout happen. look at my strategy.

i find breakout points after closing bell.
on the next day i place a limit order above the breakout level.
after breakout i just place a sl order below 0.50% from my buy price.
if it hit sl then my loss is around 0.80% (including brokarage).
basically i dont book profit at a particular target level.
i close my position at 3:15 pm.
