Mental Toughness Required by Traders

The mental part of the game. Its an aspect of trading that can easily be ignored, we all choose how we approach this game. Some see failures as opportunities to learn and progress, while others see them as outright failures and road blocks which should be avoided at all costs. Its all about attitude.
I feel that trading should be ‘easy’ It should be effortless and without conflict. If we are going to be in this game for 20+ years. I feel its important to make the experience as easy as we can. We shouldn’t be ‘fighting’ with the market, in the boxing ring, hoping, fearing and stressing.
There is RISK management, but SELF management is equally as important. When we are actively trading the market, we are free to make buy and sell decisions whenever we want. The tough part is consistently making the correct buy/sell decisions. These decisions come with conflict!
Taking Profits
So this is the hardest part of trading. It can be made simple if we accept a few hard facts.
1. You will never sell at the top.
2. Your going to be wrong when you sell.
This is fact. As soon as you sell, the stock will probably keep going up. You may look at it 5 months later and its up 100% since you sold it. Point is, when you sell, your probably going to be wrong. This creates a conflict.
As humans, we do not want to...

FII Derivative Data Analysis for 28 March trade

Let me explain what exactly is GAAR
GAAR (General Anti-Avoidance Rules) is a taxation regulation that will make investors pay tax who otherwise legally avoid it.Under GAAR, the revenue authorities will get to tax transactions or arrangements which were conducted or set up just to get tax benefits.So routing transactions through tax havens like Mauritius for achieving the tax benefit will not be allowed.
Why FII are worried ?
FII invest in india using P-notes  P-notes are financial instruments used by investors or hedge funds that are not registered with Sebi to invest in Indian securities. The investor does not have to fulfill KYC (Know Your Client) norms here and gets to invest whatever amount he wants by keeping his own identity hidden.
There is confusion in the market whether the gains from these instruments will also be taxed. Now, with the finance ministry’s statement, there could be temporary relief, but FIIs might not be wholly convinced. 
So basically till FM leave P note out of purview of GAAR FII will be happy as they do not have to reassess there taxation strategy and move funds from Mauritius to Singapore.
This was the reason for the Volatility which we are seeing from past 2 days in market and will continue to next 2 days also.

Markets seduce greedy traders into buying positions that are too large for their accounts and then destroy them with a reaction they cannot afford to sit out. They shake fearful traders out of winning trades with brief countertrend spikes before embarking on runaway moves.Lazy traders are the favorite victims of the market, which keeps throwing new tricks at the unprepared. Whatever your psychological flaws and fears, whatever your inner demons, whatever your hidden weaknesses and obsessions, the market will seek them out, find them, and use them against you, like a skilled wrestler uses his opponent’s own weight to toss him to the ground.

8 reasons why stock market traders lose money

Many people think trading is the simplest way of making money in the stock market. Far from it; I believe it is the easiest way of losing money. There is an old Wall Street adage, that "the easiest way of making a small fortune in the markets is having a large fortune."
I discuss below eight ways of undisciplined trading which lead to losses. Guard against them, or the market will wipe you out. I am qualified to speak on this subject because I was myself an undisciplined trader for a long time and the market hammered me into line and forced me to change my approach.
1. Trading during the first half-hour of the session
The first half-hour of the trading day is driven by emotion, affected by overnight movements in the global markets, and hangover of the previous day's trading. Also, this is the period used by the market to entice novice traders into taking a position which might be contrary to the real trend which emerges only later in the day.
Most experienced traders simply watch the markets for the first half of the day for intraday patterns and any subsequent trading breakouts.
2. Failing to hear the market's message
Personally, I try to hear the message of the markets and then try to confirm it with the charts. During the trading day, I like to watch if the market is able to hold certain levels or not.
I like to go long around the ....

Technical Calls:Bank Nifty,Larsen and Wipro

The losing traders have unrealistic expectations about the kind of profits they can make, typically shooting too high. They also debate with themselves before taking a trade, and even dwell on a trade well after it’s closed out. But the one big thing Williams noticed about this group was that they paid little attention to money management (i.e. defense).And the winners? This group has an intense focus on money management, and will voluntarily exit a trade if it’s not moving – even if it’s not losing money at that time! There is also very little internal dialogue about trade selection and trade management; this group just takes action instead of suffering analysis paralysis. Finally, the winning traders focused their attention on a small niche in the market or a few techniques, rather than trying to be able to do everything. Hopefully the second description fits you a little better, but if the first one seems a little too familiar.

When you put too much of your ego on the line with your money, you may feel great when you win, but on the other hand, you may feel discouraged when you lose. When you allow your ego to enter your trading, you put subtle pressure on yourself to succeed. This added pressure could compel you to make dumb mistakes like holding on to losing trades to avoid hurting your ego. It’s better in the end to take a professional approach to trading marked by objectivity and rationality. Sure, it is necessary to have a passion for what you do, but it is not necessary to get a swelled head.”

One of the biggest problems new traders have is focusing on the wrong things. I did it, everyone does it. Being perfect is one of those things. Perfect is not a pre-requisite for making money. There is so much money to be made in between. .
Perfection and satisfaction are almost never in the same sentence. Your goal is to make money in an efficient way. It is not to make money on every trade. Satisfaction, for me, comes from following my trading plan/rules. With a good plan/rules the money will take care of its self. If my goal was to be perfect I would fail most of the time or I would accomplish nothing. Remember why you are trading.
Perfect also makes it harder to move on. The ability to move on quickly is key in trading. You must analyze what happened, why it worked or not, make necessary adjustments, and look for new opportunities. If you are worrying about perfect you are always going to be looking backwards. You get stuck in a transition stage. I think of these stages like quick sand, the longer I am in them the more I have to dig myself out. It is important to spend time in the transition stages but not so long it suffocates.

The Last week promised to be an eventful week but turned out to be an non event week.
RBI did not pulled any trigger on Repo cut and further putting court in Government of India court asking them to cut the fiscal deficit and move towards fiscal consolidation.
If you do not take steps towards fiscal consolidation we will not cut rate was the clear cut signal. Market reacted negatively on that day!!
Next day being the Budget day also proved uneventful with no major reforms getting into picture. But on Whole my personal Opinion is Budget was quiet balanced with more focus on fiscal consolidation.Reduction of Fiscal Deficit from 5.9% to 5.1% would be a tremendous Job if achieved.

Feelings naturally appear during trading. The feelings we don’t like seem to have roots deep in our unresolved issues. Somehow they get stuck and do not finish passing through, and can cloud the judgment and interfere with trading. The feelings we do like seem to pass through quickly without much trace.
I suggest getting to know your feelings, by experiencing them, expressing them, letting them pass through and finding out they are pretty much all good ones.
Jet engines work best when they are open at both ends.

Nifty Weekly Technical Analysis for Week Beginning 12 March

The Week gone by ended with  CRR (Credit Reserve Ratio) cut of 75 BPS from RBI.  It was a Surprise in term of Timings as we have credit policy on 15 March and quantum. Most Optimistic market participants accepted only 50 BPS, 75 BPS was quiet a surprise as it pumped 48,000 Cores in market.

Another Shock which came late in evening was ISDA (International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.) saying  Greek CDS (Credit Default Swap)Triggered By Use Of Collective-Action Clauses.

Let me explain CDS in layman term:

Suppose you bought a Car insurance that was supposed to pay out if you got into a car accident. If suppose you got into car accident than insurance has to repay for damages as per insurance policy and if suppose your car does not met any accident for the term of insurance insurance company will not pay out anything  .

Triggering of CDS means Payout of a net $3.2 billion needs to be done to banks,institution who bought the CDS.

Will it trigger a panic in financial system

The net payout on Greek CDS will likely to be $3.2 billion, and most of that money has already been set aside by the companies who will have to make the payments, according to ISDA.

Also Financials system is flooded with 529 Billion Euros of LTRO money so this amount is a dwarf amount and it shall not create any panic in market.

Panic if any shall be bought into by short term traders.

Coming Week will an eventful week with lots of Economic Data on every day which will market very volatlile

Nifty Weekly Technical Analysis for Week Beginning 05 March

The Week gone by had bout of volatility with Nifty closing below 1.3% WoW basis. Last week market was a range bound volatile  moves  with loads of Intraday volatility. After Dull Jan and Feb months March promises to be a volatile month where money can be made on both sides. Its an eventful month with starting with UP,Punjab,Goa and Uttrakhand results. Most Important results to watch out are of UP election and this will provide further trigger to market.
The coming week has Holiday on 8 March on account of HOLI.
Lets see which color Holi is played on Dalal Street Will it be Green or Red ?
Exit Polls conducted by various news channel has given a Hung Assembly in UP. Can they be trusted. I bet not reason being lets have a look at Exit Poll results by various news agencies  in 2007 election and what turned out to be in reality
The Indian Express-CNNIBN-CSDS pre-poll survey placed the SP’s tally in the 145-155 band; the BSP’s between 140 and 150 and the BJP’s between 50 and 60. The Times Now-Hansa exit poll put the SP’s tally between 100-110; the BSP’s between 116 and 126; and the BJP’s between 114-124. The NDTV-IMRB exit poll placed the SP between 113 and 123, the BSP between 117 and 127 and the BJP between 108 and 118. Star News-Nielson exit poll put the SP’s tally at 96, the BSP’s at 137 and the BJP’s at 108. The Congress came uniformly at the bottom of the heap in all surveys.
The final results were a surprise for all. The BSP virtually swept the polls with 206 seats. The SP bagged 97 seats and the BJP 51. The Congress scored the lowest with 22 seats.
So do not trust the Exit Polls results and wait patiently for 6 EOD to know the final outcome which if good will lead to a good rally in Indian markets. Lets analyses the coming week on technical grounds.

Trading Quotes:Control Trading Emotions

A compilation of Trading Quotes which will be helpful to control your emotions during trading. Read them Daily before markets starts Belive me it will helpful in removing the mental blockade which you experience during your trading.

An avaricious or keen desire for profits is one of the most prevalent causes of failure in speculation. This weakness is general among traders. They desire “just a little more ” profit. If the stock or commodity bought advances, then that’s proof to them that it will advance further and so they hang on. They usually overstay and thus miss their market. If they fail to obtain the top price and it reacts, then they assure or console themselves by the expression: “Oh, it will come back.” It may “come back” but often it does not, and instead, declines to below the purchase price and frequently results in a loss. The same observations apply to a short sale for a further anticipated decline. It is a good policy to be satisfied with a reasonable profit and be willing to leave some for the other fellow. The market is always there and other opportunities for making profits will present themselves while the greedy trader is waiting to get the last eighth.

Greed leads to disaster in another way. A speculator has started in to buy at the inception of a bull movement. He makes money. The more he makes, the more avaricious he becomes as the market
