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 Five analysis

I've had a thought of getting my hands dirty only for two or three days of the week since that really suits the way I trade. I've actually been doing that since I started blogging so it's not much of an announcement. So from here on, I will only be providing trade calls for 2-3 days, but will be active on a daily basis on Twitter. Follow me there for other updates.

These stocks might yield the expected results in a couple of days. Most of them are retracing either from the over-bought or over-sold line, so you can expect some mixed movements during the day.

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

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

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

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

Good Luck!

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 :)

Day Four analysis

I did not see many trading opportunities yesterday and that is why I refrained from giving out any calls. I want to say that I see endless possibilities during the rest of the week but I'm unable to find them.

As of now, these will have to do:

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

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

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

Good luck trading and may the markets be with you :)

Day Three review - Monday, 3rd June 2013

You ever have one of those days where you know exactly what's going to happen and then viola, the exact same thing happens! It's one of the best feelings in the world isn't it? To see what you predicted come true is one of the best things in the world.

Lets see what happened today:

1. Buy Infosys, Entry: 2410-2420. Target: 2540+. Stop Loss: 2360. ETA: 2 weeks.

The Narayan Murthy effect took place way before the market even opened. Infy gained over a hundred points during the pre-market session itself to open at 2525! I truly underestimated the way Infy moves when some news about it breaks out. Actually anybody could have predicted this so this trade is disqualified. Especially since the entry point and ETA were way off. 

2. Sell BHEL, Entry: 201-202. Target 197.5. Stop Loss: 204.3. ETA: 1/2 days.

BHEL

This was spot on! BHEL made a day high of 201.85 and closed at 197 with a day low of 196.2!
It couldn't have gone any better. I just like to give out a safer ETA since I do get apprehensive about intraday trades. BHEL target achieved, can still hold for 194-193.



3. Buy RelianceInfra, Entry 360. Target 370. Stop Loss: 356. ETA: 3 days.

RelInfra

This was rather unfortunate. I have actually predicted the exact entry and exit points on Infra on quite a few occasions before, but never against my favor. Infra made a day low of 355.4, just .60 away from my SL, and that is very disappointing. I had half a mind to keep the SL at 355 but I settled on this. Anyway, after that Infra touched a day high of 370.4.
I can say that SL and Target were both achieved.

I will give out my analysis for Tuesday tomorrow itself. Good night folks.

Oh, follow me on Twitter and G+.

Day Three analysis

I have been a bit busy the past couple of days, some things kept me away from the monitor. Trust me, I am not complaining! It's good to take a break once in a while. Although I have only recently started 'penning' down what I analyze, I have been trading for quite some time. So once in a while I just step away from the computer and relax with family and friends. This was one of those occasions. And the way I trade helps me continue living this way.

Anyway looking back on my analysis of Day Two, I had given this call:

"Sell Hindalco, Entry 112. Target 106, 104. Stop Loss 114.

Hindalco is coming out with their quarterly results today. I don't know what to expect out of it but I hope that it will be bad. Yes I'm quite the pessimist. So even if the results are good 114 should be a good point to exit. Yes it is a gamble that i'm willing to take since the risk is very minimum."

Hindalco hit a high of 111.4 and is trading at 102.3. Need I say more? Maybe, next target: 97.

Here are some of the stocks that I might be trading with on Monday:

1. Buy Infosys, Entry: 2410-2420. Target: 2540+. Stop Loss: 2360. ETA: 2 weeks.

Well it's quite simple really, N. R. Naranyan Murthy!

Yup he's back folks and the stock already accounted for his return on the 31st of May. Infy opened at 2342, day low, and never looked back, touching a day high of 2434.9 and closing at 2411.7 (that's +63).

OBVIOUSLY it was a coincidence, right? Right? Next.

2. Sell BHEL, Entry: 201-202. Target 197.5. Stop Loss: 204.3. ETA: 1/2 days.

3. Buy RelianceInfra, Entry 360. Target 370. Stop Loss: 356. ETA: 3 days.

I don't feel too good about RelInfra though. If the market starts falling you can see levels of 350 and below on Infra in the next two trading sessions.

Good luck trading and may the market be with you ;)

Day Two review - Tuesday, 28th May 2013

The market gave everyone a run for their money today. HeroMotoCo and BHEL gained big time and among the top Nifty gainers was ONGC! As mentioned in an earlier post, I covered one lot of ONGC at 330. That is a total profit of Rs. 8500.

I didn't trade today and I don't think I will be trading tomorrow either, but I will give out my calls for tomorrow. 

Today, I gave out these calls and one of them was almost spot on:

1. Buy BhartiArtl, Entry: 310. Target 320. Stop Loss: 304.

BhartiArtl

Bharti touched a day low of EXACTLY 310. Damn I love it when the entry and exit points are spot on. It makes your trades less risky and I believe it is almost always possible to get the perfect entry points. Anyway Bharti made a day high of 317.4 and closed at 314.8, which is still on track towards the target. Can hold for 320+ tomorrow.

2. Sell Hindalco, Entry 112. Target 106, 104. Stop Loss 114.

Hindalco

I gave a safe entry point of 112 even though Hindalco didn't go over 111 today. For those who actually sold Hindalco futures at around 110, tomorrow might be their lucky day. Hindalco came out with their annual reports today and it wasn't a pretty picture. I expect to see it open with a gap down tomorrow. 

I'm happy with the way things are turning out. So far I've been right about my targets 4/4 times with the exception of Hindalco. Let's see what's in store for tomorrow. Have a good evening folks.

Day Two Analysis

I had a good start yesterday. I am currently holding one lot of ONGC May futures, bought at 322, CMP 326.5. I don't think I will be trading today but if I do it will be one of these that I will trade with:

1. Buy BhartiArtl, Entry: 310. Target 320. Stop Loss: 304.

This is a good buy since it's just coming off the bottom Stochastic line and the bottom Bollinger band, indicating that it's been over-sold. I expect it to hit 340 sometime during the first week of June but for today I think a target of 320 is quite achievable IF the market supports.

2. Sell Hindalco, Entry 112. Target 106, 104. Stop Loss 114.

Hindalco is coming out with their quarterly results today. I don't know what to expect out of it but I hope that it will be bad. Yes I'm quite the pessimist. So even if the results are good 114 should be a good point to exit. Yes it is a gamble that i'm willing to take since the risk is very minimum.

That's all for today. I will be active on Twitter today, hopefully. Will try to give some updates there. Happy trading :)

Day One review - Monday, 27th May 2013

Well I had a good start. Although some of my entry points were not hit today, most of my targets are right on track. I was expecting the market to fall today but nonetheless, some trade did take place.
 
My calls for today were:

1. Buy ONGC, Entry: 320-322. Target: 342. Stop Loss: 317.

ONGC

I knew ONGC would bounce back from 320 and as expected, it did. It hit a day low of 320.5 and high of 329.45. I recommended buying June futures which hit a day low of 323.5 and high of 331.8. I did however end up buying May futures at 322 and am currently holding it at 326.5.

That is currently a profit of Rs.4500.

2. Buy OptoCircuits, Entry: 43.5-44. Target: 48. Stop Loss: 42.5.

OptoCircuit

Unfortunately Opto did not hit my entry point today. Again I expected the market to fall after which I would've entered at 44. But on the upside, the target of 48 was hit and a day high of 49.75 was made today and DAMN what a recovery that was! That graph looks beautiful doesn't it?
So after bouncing back from the (slightly miscalculated) bottom Bollinger band, my target was achieved,

3. Buy Adani Enterprises, Entry: above 215. Target 235. Stop Loss: 212.

AdaniEnter

I didn't trade in Adani today since I was quite hesitant to enter it at day low of 320 which it was trading at till 1:30 PM. I didn't think it would move much but boy was I wrong. I know my entry was above 215 but 220 was slightly too much. Anyway, day low of 219 and high of 227.40. Target on track!



















All in all I think it is a pretty good start. I'm at a profit of Rs.4500 at the end of Day One. I think I will realize my profit on ONGC at 330 tomorrow. I'll be giving out my trades for 28th May in some time now so stay tuned ;)
