daSARa system

TSL 6605. No SAR, though I briefly considered the bar at 6590.

out at 6605.... so much for picking tops and bottoms

Bad day. Even I did not get the signals for some of the good moves in the range today. Does that mean that Volumes are not reliable even for ranges?

Feeling lightheaded that I am finally able to end this series +ve. As of yesterday, the account was up 0.64% :rofl: for the series, and today's ORB trade has already locked in some profit with the TSL.

Reviewing my trades for the last 3 series tells me how silly I am. If I had traded only ORB, in the last 3 series, my account would have been up 50% by now. January series should have got me over 30%, but I earned much lesser because I was experimenting with ORB. In Feb and March, the non-ORB systems pulled down the performance.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda....

March series results:

This month again, I have to repeat what I said at the end of the Feb series - I am very lucky to close this series +ve. This was a wild swinging performance.

Capital utilization (all trades were NRML): 55 to 95%
Net capital change (after costs): +5.81%

Cumulative net capital (after costs) change for the Jan, Feb and Mar series: +35.22%

ORB system: +105.74 points in 19 trades.
Traded ORB on all days. Used 55-75% of my capital everyday on ORB trades.

On 3 days, I was traveling, and traded ORB on mobile.

I will ignore the non-ORB trades in this report, because I am temporarily dropping them from my agenda. The purpose for the non-ORB systems was to complement ORB, but that was not achieved. The TV system that I used usually performed well when ORB went well, and gave a loss when ORB lost. No purpose in trading a system that was +vely correlated, and worse than ORB. So, tomorrow i plan to trade ORB in SBI.

Here is how the capital swung for me:
