Day Five Breakdown - Targets Achieved!

Well my targets for Monday's trade were achieved on Tuesday like I had mentioned in the earlier post, and what a way to achieve them! JSW Steel and BATAIndia broke past the targets and just kept ploughing through. Have a look at the charts for more clarity.

These are the stocks that I traded with on Monday and the results are astounding:

1. Sell JSW Steel, Entry: 727-730. Target: 710. Stop Loss: 737.

JSW Steel

My first analysis of JSW ended up triggering the Stop Loss but this one more than made up for the loss. JSW
Steel hit past the target and went another 25 points downwards. The market did most of the work on this though. Day low - 684!
Each lot of JSW futures contract fetched me Rs. 10000!


2. Buy BHEL, Entry: 187. Target: 195. Stop Loss: 185.

 SL triggered at 185. Nothing more to add.
Each lot of JSW futures contract cost me Rs. 2000!

3. Buy Canara Bank, Entry: 397-400. Target: 420. Stop Loss: 389.

CanBank

My trade in Canara Bank was as unfortunate as my trade in Reliance Infra on Day Three. CanBank hit a day low of 389 triggering my stop loss and then went on to hit a day high of 402.5. I should really learn to keep a small buffer when I place a stop loss otherwise things like this end up as a loss in my books. Maybe I should have just modified the SL. Anyway, Stop Loss triggered, although I expected it to happen.
Each lot of JSW futures contract cost me Rs. 4000!

4. Sell BATA, Entry: 885-890. Target: 860. Stop Loss: 899.

BATAINDIA

BATA's movement was a thing of beauty. I was fortunate enough to give in to greed and make a killing out of it this time. That is a very very rare event. I ended up not covering my profits at 860 and let the market do it's thing. BATAIndia ended up hitting a day low of 797! I was lucky to square off at 800; there aren't too many occasions when such a trade occurs.
Each lot of Bata futures contract fetched me Rs. 21250! That's a whopping amount!

The total profits on Day Five, considering I bought only one lot of each Futures contract, results to a sum of Rs. 25250! It's the most I've ever made in a single day after starting this blog. Even if I had stuck to a target of 860 on BATA I would've ended up with a profit of Rs. 10250. 

Hope to have many more great days like this.

Cheers!

Day Five review - Monday, 10th June 2013

I enjoyed watching the markets unfold today. There was a tonne of news broadcast which made the market jump up and down. It seemed like people were confused about the news and they didn't know what to make of it.

That really didn't stop these stocks to move in the right direction though. Well, maybe it stopped one of them. Let's have a look:

1. Sell JSW Steel, Entry: 727-730. Target: 710. Stop Loss: 737.

Going in the right direction. As mentioned in my earlier post , the target should be achieved during the next trading session.

2. Buy BHEL, Entry: 187. Target: 195. Stop Loss: 185.

I did see a further fall on BHEL but I just thought I'd bet on the reversal after hitting the bottom Bollinger band as well as the Stochastic over-sold line. Maybe that will happen after hitting 175. Not a big loss though since the SL got triggered at 185.

3. Buy Canara Bank, Entry: 397-400. Target: 420. Stop Loss: 389.

Holding CanBank for a revised target of 410 now. Saved from hitting the stop loss today by a whisker.

4. Sell BATA, Entry: 885-890. Target: 860. Stop Loss: 899.

On the brighter side, Bata almost hit the target of 860 today. Made a day low of 861.65. Holding for 860 tomorrow. Should be achieved first thing in the morning.

All in all, it was a fine day to trade. Only one loss incurred today and foreboding another tomorrow, but BataIndia and JSW Steel should more than make up for those losses. Let's see how things play out.

Cheers!

Day Four review - Wednesday, 5th June 2013

So today I gave out a few calls that I thought was worth trading. There are a few stocks that I stick to most of the time, if you're good at it then why not strengthen it further right? But I did try my hand at a stock that I wasn't too comfortable trading in and it showed that I need to hone my skills further before I go exploring.

JSW Steel is a stock that I used to follow a few years ago but it just seems to be moving in a slightly different pattern lately. I guess older investors have paved way for newer ones whose mentality I am yet to grasp. Anyway lets look at the what happened to my predictions today:

1. Buy DLF, Entry: 192. Target: 197.5. Stop Loss: 190. 

DLF

I think I have the movement of DLF mapped out quite well. At the very least I can predict the direction in which it moves on a day to day basis. DLF touched a day high of 200.4 today. Target achieved. 

2. Buy ONGC, Entry: 316. Target 325. Stop Loss: 313.

ONGC

I was slightly off the entry point with ONGC today, it made a day low of 317 and went up to a day high of 325.25. Just like DLF, I'm very comfortable with trading in ONGC and it's safe to say that I can almost predict the exact movements of it almost everyday. Although it didn't hit the entry point, it definitely hit the target spot on. Target achieved.

3. Sell JSW Steel, Entry 720-725. Target 700. Stop Loss: 730. 

JSW Steel

As I mentioned earlier JSW Steel is a new stock that I'm entering into and I might need a little more time to figure out it's movements. Unfortunately the stop loss triggered today, resulting in a loss for the second time since I started this blog. Stop Loss triggered. 

I've been doing well with my predictions so far. I've given out 10 calls out of which 2 were disqualified and 2 have had their stop loss triggered. That brings my prediction rating to 6/8 or 3/4, which is still pretty good in my opinion. Let's hope things get even better in the future :)
