Dear Raunak Sir / All ,
I have a small query wrt stop loss and support for a stock.
Can these terms be used interchangeably ? If yes under what circumstances - long term Time frame , short term etc ?
For eg, lets say I have a time frame for 6 months. I buy a stock @100 . I have a SL of 10 % , and hence i should exit this stock if the price comes below 90.
But incidentaly , the last support for this stock was @ 95 . (hypothetical , but possible i suppose.)
Now I am completely confused as to when to exit. As mentioned above, does the exit depend on the time frame i have in mind ? With a 6 month horizon , shall i ignore the support level (95 ) if its higher than my stop loss(90) ?
Different people may have different views. Just trying to form mine .
Doubt about the beta value of a stock:
I understand its meaning , but wish to understand the significance in the real world. When to look at it and when not to (time frame wise , trading style wise etc ) ? What are the trading styles that use this value ?
Warm Regards
