Dear Friends,
My Journey as a TA...
Started in 2003 - with Metastock - using Trendlines & moving average(offcourse with crossovers) and studying patterns
2004 - continued with it
2005 - started focusing on fundamental too have upperhand
2006 - mix both, but returns were more through IPO's:clap:
2007 - Focussed on Advanced Get and 'n' number of softwares, studying models and newer analysis everyday
2008 - market busted, i got saved due to some other commitments..entered on dec2008 with more studies in arsenal, thinking i am the master now
2009 - Returns were meagre considering earlier returns(as i jumbled up shifting through various studies)
2009 End - focussed on fewer studies, started filtering
2010 - still in searched for holygrail, returns still not coming as per expectations, burned a lot in F&O
2011- Focussed on what i started earlier that is Trendlines & moving averages
and fewer patterns which i understand, more focus on price action, returns coming in were moderate to good
2012- Focus shifted to more to deliveries rather than F&O
Point of highlighting is my life came to full circle. What i started with is the best and still now it fits well in the scheme of things. In all these years my eagerness to search for holy grail all over the net, any famous expert advisors/indicators i used it..and never got to understand what is working..sometime it works, sometime it backfires.
So in all these years i read almost 100-110 TA books and have hands on atleast 8-10 TA softwares, with non countable expert advisors/indicators, and reading all free sources over the net...
For a newbie, they always get swayed by newer indicators, newer study..and no one to guide loose their capital to smart traders in the pit.
Almost 95% traders i encountered, they look at charts with lenses, i mean with indicators/EA etc...They never ever blink on price first...This is the story..and they loose in end...Rest 5% are smarter( off course we need to get into this) focussed on fewer and knows very well, what they are playing with.
Unlike 95% category, running daily expert advisors and telling what to do. If TA is that easy then machines will make million and human brain need to go to trash.
So lets start with fewer things, and try to study in depth. If we tell to draw a trendline on chart 5 analyst will come up with 5 different patterns. This is subjectivity of TA. What suits you may not prefer others. So focus on your needs.
So i am going to complete a decade in stock market, and when i look back...i think..with time i tried to outsmart others, but failed to focus on my strength...i always tried to be like others.
I am not a perfect human being, whose all trade goes right. I have my story of loosers to. The thing is dont venture into by advice of others, and also dont indulge with wrong money management.
On public forums/net, people will give you 'n' number of calls, i donno whether they really trade or just try to catch a 'Fish' in the pond.
Understand it, its your money, hard earned money, dont waste it like this. Even a Rs.1 count in the market.
So i request all my friends, please try to give in your 100% to what you study and have more focussed approach...
