Stock Trading Plan for July 13, 2007 07/13/07   —  ~ 2% increase in indices in one day. That is a significant move. 1% in one day is fairly significant, but 2% is way out. I think that has got to mean something more than a normal move up. As I see it, it is signaling the start of another leg up from here. Many of my shorts got closed at break even to...

Stock Trading Plan for July 12, 2007 07/12/07   —  So we indeed got a bounce. My holdings did continue there slide down in general or at worst stumbled a bit. So lot of them are sitting with narrow range bars for today. Meaning there could possibly be a reversal if the market strength continues. I should not be influenced so much by one day’s a...

Stock Trading Plan for July 11, 2007 07/11/07   —  So, I look at the market midday and it is going so-so. Nothing much just hanging around there lethargically. And what a shock I got when I saw it in the morning. It all came tumbling down. And alongwith it I got 18 open short positions on my hands. Shudder. Very high exposure to real estate sector. B...

Stock Trading Plan for July 9, 2007 07/09/07   —  Last week I just took a look at the badly performing industries and surprise surprise there has been such a nice downside momentum around that its unbelievable. In the last 3-4 months I was so focused on longs in the bull market that I had lost sight that I do short trading too. In strongly uptrendin...

Stock Trading Plan for July 2, 2007 07/02/07   —  Market is in an absolutely choppy state. Such wide ranges with no movement in either direction just chops the stocks out. I am wondering if I should even try to trade at all during such a time or not. Even paper trade. That seems to be the lazy way out. I think, I should continue paper trading throug...

Stock trading plan for June 20, 2007 06/20/07   —  And everything is stretched, yet again. Looks like the broader market is not giving way at all and is just hanging up there. I guess it will take a decent down day to get some entries. All the consolidation for the last two days isn’t pulling them down enough. And today I noticed HDNG, for whic...

Stock trading plan for June 19, 2007 06/19/07   —  No picks for today. Despite a consolidation day today, strangely enough, everything on my watchlist was fairly stretched out and not worthy for expecting entries. One thing that struck to me while scanning the watchlist was that so many of the stocks have made such nice moves in the last 3-4 trading ...

Stock trading plan for June 15, 2007 06/15/07   —  The market chugged along today. Building on yesterday’s gains. Will it go on to take out recent highs or form a lower top here? We have to take out the recent highs to get back into an uptrend. Until then there is an upbias but we are not out of the doldrums. The market looks short term ov...

Stock trading plan for June 14th 06/14/07   —  Back to regular posting daily thoughts sans charts. I will just continue to journal my thoughts about the market and not worry so much about creating charts unless needed. So, what difference can one day make in my outlook towards the market. Yesterday it was all grim and dreary. And one day of ~1.5%...

I have now linked a Google spreadsheet to the blog which will be automatically updated to reflect the changes I make at the original spreadsheet. Quite a timesaver. Market seems to be losing it steam at this time. For last two days, the action has bee...

Stock Paper Trading Ideas 05/12/07   —  Taking a break from the market for a bit. One is to read some books on money management, position management and systems evaluation. And the other is learn Amibroker for scanning, charting and backtesting needs. Amibroker has an excellent optimize function and I am very excited to use that...

Site finally back up!! 05/11/07   —  Finally. After almost 1 week of downtime the blog is up again. Apparently one of the plugins I use is incompatible with wp-cache. But now, I have no idea how to figure out which one is incompatible…Till then we live without caching. Hopefully pages will load for the visitors fast enough. I will...
