  You read about the Gurus of trading.   There’s a group of them that started with their last few Thousands and ran it up to millions because of a simple strategy they can teach you.   There’s another group of Gurus that claim hard work, long study and signing up for their newsletter will lead you to where you want to go. All Gurus want you to “learn from their mistakes.” They ask, “Why should you make all the mistakes I’ve made, when you can benefit from my experiences?” Now being somewhat of a Guru myself, I think there IS a certain truth to this query, but not the way you probably think. Other trader’s experiences can make you aware of what to expect as you embark upon your trading. Knowing what to expect should translate into having less “blindside” occurrences. However, when you come across the forewarned learning experience, emotions will come up. These emotional situations (fear, overconfidence, freezing) are up to YOU to handle. (For me or some people ar...

  Michael Buffer swings the microphone up to his mouth and spurts, ”In the blue corner, from Cleveland, Ohio, standing 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing 215 p the challenger… “Tryon ‘The-Best’ Ican”!”  Buffer continues, “And in the red corner, with a record of 90 wins, all by knockout, with only 10 losses, and heavyweight champion of the world…”Marcus ‘All-Ways’ Wright!”  Now see yourself as Tryon.. cause that’s what you’re doing, tryin’, and of course, the Market is Marcus, because the market’s always right.  Now you have a shot to win . Not a great shot .But A shot  A hundred fighters have faced Marcus and 90% of them have lost .But 10 have won. What did they do to win ?  I didn't see all the fights, but I know I'm accurate when I say that 9 out of 10 of the fighters (if not all ) that beat " All - Ways " Wright , kept a journal between rounds so that they could improve after every round.  They all knew Wright was tough , so they had to make sure ...

  Traders love to talk about their trading.   It’s much more comfortable for most traders to talk about what COULD BE rather than WHAT IS.  They love to talk about some chart setting up, their view of the political situation surrounding the stock or market…whatever.  We all know that talk is cheap.  Intellectually, we know that the chart says everything we need to know, but as emotional beings, we are always looking for the “insight” or the “intuition” to put us a step ahead of everybody else who are all looking at the same charts we are.  If we don’t have the “ eye to the future ”, maybe a trading friend has it.  Sometimes all you have to do is call up a trading buddy and say, “Hi, how are you today?”  What you’ll get in return will be, “Boy, have you seen the ‘so-and-so’ chart today?  If that breaks the XY level, it’s going to really take off!” He continues, “And with that unstable political situation, this could really be a big trade.” Why...

 Any experienced trader will tell you that being successful is, in large part, a matter of overcoming all the hurdles that get in your way.  Let’s look at a few of them:Now there are two basic types of hurdles:  The physical ones and the mental o and actually, sometimes they get intertwined. 

  US markets closed higher after few days of severe sell off. But US futures are lower now. After market ours, Twitter down 14%, Amazon down 2%, Apple down 4%, Alphabet up 7%. So you can imagine the kind of roller coaster ride US markets will go through. Asian markets are mostly negative following US futures. It seems that we will consolidate in the region 11600-11700 for next few days. Markets are expected to make a big move again after US elections. We have just 3 trading sessions before US elections. So there is bound to be lot of volatility. Expecting this move to the upper side , but will have to wait for confirmations. SGX Nifty is down slightly. That is because negative Global cues and selling by both FIIs and DIIs. FIIs have sold for 421 crores and DIIs have sold for Rs 253 crores.

  We are coming to the end of October series. It is a 5 week series with corporate results. Usually this kind of series will be highly volatile. Nifty moved from 10800 to 12000 in two weeks and then consolidating between 11660 and 12025 with huge volatility. There were violent sell off in intraday many times. Even yesterday Nifty fell more than 250 points intraday. Bank Nifty in last two days, up 200, then down 500, then up 900, then down 900 and up 200. US and European markets fell more than 3% yesterday due to corona virus surge. FIIs have sold for Rs 1131 crores in Cash market. Considering the kind of fall in markets, this figure is not big. Markets got into panic mode when Europe fell drastically in the afternoon. Right now SGX Nifty is trading about 60 points lower. There will be more selling if Nifty breaks 11660. In US, VIX crossed 40. That is not a good sign for bulls. In last 15 minutes, Dow fell more than 200 points. Most European markets are trading at June level. Rememb...
