Though I love to short , today I am a little bit cautious and take 1000 quantity per trade. 90% buy trade.

Canbank profit 4800
Ambujacem profit 1200

Yesterday, I increased my quantity from 1000 to 5000 to cover my morning loss , and my loss doubled.

* Lesson learnt : I can't handle such huge order as of now. So no huge order for now.

What are your entry and exit basis? Would be good to know, if you let you know please?

* I follow simple scalping method , 1 min chart , if 3 candle go green I buy and if 3 candle go red I sell .
* trade time 9.30 to 11.00 : if sensex is green I go for buy or vice versa
* trade time 11.00 to 12.30 : wait for sensex to be oversold or overbought , if oversold i go for sell or vice versa.
* target : 0.2% to 0.5% ( that is small though ) But I am happy with it.
* I trade when I am completely free of other tension. (otherwise loss is sure )
*Stop loss : My general stop loss i 0.50% , but I keep it in mind but never placed SL order.
* After execution of an order , I place target of 0.50% and wait , if candle say to execute I modify the order immediately . Even a small profit is better than loss.
* I use 50% of my margin and only one trade a time .
* I may wait for 1-2 hr for execution , after execution I hardly keep my my position open for more than 30 min.

It works if I follow my discipline. Please tell me if any improvement I can make .

Today's trade :
Today I missed first half of trade.

Any strategy is good when followed in spirit and discipline. Your strategy is new of a kind to me! But you're awesome on this and results are good.

I'm never confident without SL, this is why:
> I have been trapped because of loss of data connectivity
> Sometimes broker terminal goes down
> Sudden reversal on news

Just yesterday at around 3 pm, when I was long on Banknifty, suddenly Zerodha became unresponsive and had I not placed stoploss, I would have incurred a loss of 10k at one go !!!

But i couldn't trail my SL, when wanted to. This could have end up in profit. Finally escaped with 3k loss.

That's why I use NSE NOW , no complaint about connectivity so far. For graph zerodha is good.

* Sometimes I use SL-M order after the trade being executed . When the trade goes in my favour, I square off my order and cancel SL-M order( I don't like to modify SL-M order) .

Use both PC and mobile version . Basically PC when at home , Mobile when outside . My broker is finvasia where brokerage is zero . So for a 100 Rs stock , I have to pay just 7 paisa for both buy/sell.

I joined finvasia for scalping. Now I am trying to add variation and back testing .
