How many times have you entered a good trade and but exited early as trade was not moving anywhere and as soon as you Exit and Boom, Prices just explode as if market was waiting for you to exit.

sir, you are really geneous, i have read your articles feel one great guru mother protecting kid from all odds, thanks sir, after many losses i saw a great rishi waiting for us with great knowledge.
Market is market it doesnt care what you think or feel.It will behave the way it wants to behave.Market is a beast and it will be volatile.And if we are traders we need to learn how to ride it.
This kind of events are great opportunity to trade inorder to make a quick buck.The best instrument to trade in volatility would be Options e.g.
if one had bought 8400put @ 30 and 9000 call @ 36 just before the RBI conf say around 1.45 to 2.15 with a stop loss of Rs.2.00 on each option,He would have made a cool Rs.3.00 net profit which is 8.33 % return in a single day.
If u have ten volatile events like this then your returns are amplified to around 80% p.a and I am not talking compounded.
Finally Bramesh is right you should not over trade.But yes there is a way to trade any market if ONLY one knows how to trade with proper risk management and profit target.
The most important part of trading is trading psychology. We are not trading market but we are trading our beliefs about the market. Its just a probability and during events like budget, results, RBI policy its better to stay out.
What I learned from Bramesh Sir is to protect capital bcoz its one of important thing which we use to make money
This problem is with those whose trading capital is very less and trade generally one or two lots…they expect to trade and earn daily to make any significant impact on their bank account…on the contrary they loose and blow up their ac…. I always recommend to trade in min 3 lots…this will absolve you off any compulsion to trade daily and you shall enter only when your desired set up comes giving you a significant return ..I still insist…trading is not for small trading account holders..sooner or later you will exit the market
Tomorrow never dies.. Stoxk exchange os open atleast 240 days in a year.
