STOCK MARKET--A DAY TRADERS DAY DREAM

So , you  are  in the  share  bazaar .  Right?     And you are  spending  peak time of  330 minutes  before  the  NSE/BSE terminals  watching  and observing  the  price  movements  of  your  favourite   scrips  giving  you adequate  aspiration , perspiration and  desperation leading to   stressful days and  sleepless  nights. Right?  well, it may be or may not be.


And  you are here  to make a  quick  buck .  Wow! Stock market . especially  the  day  trading part  is a dangerously  loving  game.It  is  funny , interesting and more addictive than your morning  tea.  But  are you  equipped with    the  right kind of  knack , technique and  knowledge to face the  intra-day volatility and   ultimately  outsmarting  the  punters , jobbers  and so called operators ? Nop! not at all.


There  are certain rules to every game. It may be relationships, sports, business or ''hamara '' stock market. Positively  and unfailingly it is not everybody cup of tea. Even the most intelligent  and knowledgable  day  trader can make the most idiotic and stupid  mistake  drowning himself into heavy losses and  abusing the intricacies of the stock  market thereafter.


There are no foolproof rules of  the stock market game. For every daytrader there  is a  new morning, new idea , new strategy  and a brand new blunder. Still the day  could be made comfortable and brighter if you stick to certain  norms while


dictating a trade to your dealer.


1 Under any circumstances, NEVER  put a  market trade at the opening of the market. You may end up buying at the  highest rate or selling at the lowest rate and cry for the rest of the day.


2 If you are a  staunch day trader  just  take off the terms like short term  medium term and the long term from your dictionary. You are made for  a  five and a half hour s game only.


3 Use a  stop loss ! It is  imperative to be disciplined in this business.A rule of thumb  is to set stoplosses  just below the the low of the day or just below a support level.


4 Don't be afraid to admit  defeat and mistakes. Just take your loss and move on.


5 Don't  follow the crowd . Avoid herd mentality. It is  always better to lead than to  follow the herd.  Make your own decisions and proceed.


6 Don't pick tops and bottoms.Let the market pick for you.


7 Keep your emotions balanced. Don't lose your cool on bad trades.we have all made them.


8 Watch out for your greed. Swallow your appetite.Once you have made a considerable


profit  it is a good idea to take the money and run.


9 Never  trade in too many stocks at once. Focus on one position at a time.  10     Do your homework. Study , research and discuss. Trading is demanding. Make a  good gameplan.


11 Don't  average down. Buy a stock that is going up and short the stock that is going  down. Always  check the volumes , charts and spreads. Don't take big risks.


12 Concentrate. Don't trade if your life is an upheaval. Be focused.


13 And the bottomline…. Intraday  trading  of any kind can never lead to  wealth creation. It is'' one way in and the same way out''  concept. The lady luck shall not  be romancing with you regularly. She is an unforgiving infidel.


Apart from the above academic norms  it is strictly advisable to  take the services  of  a  financial  advisor  well versed with the  fundamental and  technical of the  scrips.  For an intra day  trader it is very very essential to know  the support  and resistance levels, stop losses , the volatility factor and so on.
