A general guide to position sizing for beginners. There is nothing new which I am sharing. Everything is already in the public domain or many books elsewhere.

Asian Paints - you need to be flexible for the chart reading. Do not try to impose a pattern when there is none. Sometimes, a simple trend line would serve the purpose.

Here, please understand the concept of the "Internal Trend Line" and its significance.

Especially when a lot of stocks have flown higher & the index is near resistance, I would be observing the chart closely if it breaks out all of a sudden or retraces back a bit. If it is a retracement - that would give another opportunity to trade a few auto names.

How beautifully the 200 MA and the price have converged in Dr. Reddy's Lab chart.

Watch out for any key BO in this one as it will be the first BO above 200 MA.

5 RULES TO IDENTIFY A STRATEGY THAT WORKS:

There are plenty of trading systems available on the internet and there are many trading systems providers.

But how do you know which ones are going to be potentially profitable?

1/ PREMISE OF THE STRATEGY:

The most important factor in any trading system is the premise or philosophy or logic on which it is built.

The systems must be able to identify certain repetitive behaviors which are inherent to any market.

An example could be #trend or #momentum or #mean reversion etc.

The magnitude of these behaviors could vary over time but they are natural to any markets.

Better yet, you should have multiple systems that attack these behaviors...

This is what I call the Hybrid Approach !!!

2./ SIMPLER, THE BETTER:

Once you have understood the logic behind the system, make sure it's based on simple rules.

If there are more rules, it’s a red flag that the systems are probably over-optimized or curve fit to past data which is unlikely to work in the future.

Most of my strategies have no more than 5-6 rules.

That’s it.

Keep it Simple, Stupid!

THE TRADING PROFITS👇

These days you must have seen several traders posting profits,beyond imagination. There are 3 obvious thoughts that too in sequence -
🙂Are they even Real?
🙂Why am I not able to do so?
🙂What the hell am I doing with my life?

Preparing for that gov exam or looking for that private job or even running a business,which is going to pay me just 1/10th of these profits in my entire lifetime?!! Damn,I guess trading is the ONLY thing I need to do.
👉Result : Anxiety,Fomo and feeling of self pitty.

Now to the first question,if they are real or not,yes although social media is filled with fake screenshots,edited profit videos and false p&l,let me tell you that there are SOME GENUINE TRADERS also out there.And to rest all the rumours,YES SOME OF THOSE PROFITS ARE REAL TOO...

👉But then the question is,why are you not able to do so? Instead,the moment you attempt to do so,you are either frustrated or one step closer to bankruptcy?
The reason is the ABILITY to take risk,which differs in both the cases. Let me explain:(Read next)👇
