That, my friend, is why the trading calls need well defined time horizon, stoploss and targets. This is also why a single method is not really sufficient, one combines it with some other methods and makes an educated guess. The actual trading is and will always remain a leap of faith, a leap into darkness.
Okay
So I did a thorough analysis how my algorithms performed today.
Today market did really bad
So I have added two extra sheets for analysis for the day
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1n2ZtPgvDmW5BnHXVVioaZd4r6Wln1PLfXnoPz2NfJVc/edit?usp=sharing
So if you see the sheet TradeLogic, here I have defined a day trade system with stop loss, Target 1, Target 2 and Target 3....
So I first went with completely doing a paper trade by computer (no human intervention). So computer buys at the start price and sets it at stoploss - and then how much profit it makes over the day. Here the negative values would be 0 - as the stop-loss was the price at which it was bought.
Second, I looked into how humans will trade and maximize the profit following graph theories. So, in this case, all stocks- except 1 were definitely positive...
In the second sheet Timeline, I pointed out hourly details of how stocks moved from the window and how new stocks were added. So basically the time when some stocks should be bought -is when it comes to the buying window....
As per the NIFTY thing, I think the Stoploss should be the resistance value...
