Volatility in the coming days in the Indian markets makes it very good to trade.....particularly day trade. But one needs to book profits too !

Total return on capital till date assuming 10% deposit with Rs. 200,000 exposure to each name since 26th June (start of proper position sizes) works out to 30.69% !! If more deposit is required, then it will fall in proportion.



There was ofcourse a gap of 2 weeks when I was on holiday. With the 2 week gap, for the month of July till date, return on capital (10% deposit) is 13.25% !!



Since the beginning of the blog till date, there was only one negative day.......28th June !!!



Performance for 22nd July, 2011



Again easy markets to make money. Short selling was not an option today.

Sorry guys, I could not post the price points for 4th July. But then there will be some days I will not be able to due to either work pressure or personal commitments. And then, one doesn't HAVE to trade every day. One needs a break sometimes !



You trade to live, not live to trade !!
