Bhai , Swing capital should be large enough to take care of big losses. Mostly gaps are in favour of prevailing trend but sometimes bad news like this can come out.
Lets say if someone holding 1 lot crude oil short in mcx and crude opens $5 up that means , 35000 loss
and if $10 then 70,000 loss per lot. But people use 55k NRML margin as capital. So many will get wiped out on monday volatility.
Big money can be made only by holding and sitting tight on your profitable position for many days/weeks.
A guy (not on this forum) started with only 40,000 as capital , using elliot waves he spotted a trade and bought puts. Nifty gave many up downs but he was sitting tight on his position and ultimately exited with 2 lakh Rs.
how many trades can show such patience. Most will exit at 50k , happy with 25% profit and 90% at 80k as money doubled but he waited until last drop of juice
