Day trading is something which excites and attracts everyone especially young ones.
Ask any seasoned Trader and he would be of the opinion, Day trading is fascinating
but equally dangerous .It becomes disastrous if the risk is not defined in a particular
trade.
Day trading to many is adrenaline rush,When a particular trade goes their way
Well it turns out to be equally depressing when trade goes against them.
Day trading requires a set of qualities and strict rules which need to be
followed to show fruitful results.
Qualities would include, A trader need to be energetic,Good reflexes and a quick
decision maker and lastly the most important one "Concentration".
These qualities are usually seen in young traders (25-35) age group.
Concentration is something which comes by practice many try meditation to
get a sound concentration.
According to a survey Good day traders are not Doctor's or Engineer's
they are Pilot's.
Fine now different kinds of market requires specific set of tactics to try to break
Them up(To trade).
BEAR market poses the biggest challenge in front of traders.
As in Bear market there is a saying"Expect the unexpected".
Like in
Bull market they say no high is final high.
Bear market slogan is No low is final low:).
So to trade such market Trader need to change his trading style thinking etc
in short he need to transform himself to adapt to the conditions.
Like chameleon does by changing his color according to the background.
First and foremost rule never trade first breakout in a bear market.
The first breakout usually gets sold heavily.
Now here we have two methods Fellow traders can try both and see which one
serves them well:).
Either buy the next breakout or buy the first breakout retrace find a good support
retrace by using Fibonacci.
Secondly never underestimate the Bear market rallies if you cannot trade bear market
rallies avoid trading them, You may end up loosing most of your money what you made
by shorting BEAR market.Shorting BEAR market rally without any study or clues is
like trying to find water digging in desert . Whole 1 year return of a Bull market
can come in one month BEAR rally.
Of course big money is to be made when Bear rally ends.Timing plays an important role
Look for clues ,Chart patterns,Waves etc to come to conclusion.
Lastly the disheartening thing Bear market tends to see failure of many chart patterns
Waves etc which makes it tedious for a trader to find a trade setup out of
cacophony.

Focusing attention, the effective concentration or meditation makes one to understand the risk. To know WHAT is happening around? This is a complex crisis that has no parallel in our life, so your guideline is not too vague to respond to…the awareness that you imbibe, makes one to understand the crash or boom in perfect literature. Looking forward more and the best of your dedications…

Hi rish ,
ReplyDeleteOne of the best article from u...But I need to see how many of them who read will be successful by reading this article bcoz even I had lost lacs of rupees at the age of 24-reason being attracted by the return of a bull market-But eventually faught back and covered all the losses
Some things i believe to be true from my trading experience are
1.Concentrating on selected Liquid Stocks
2.Quick decision Making and discipline
3.And Always be Silent about your trades
day trading is the same whether in a bullmarket or in a bear market.....ie for a speculator
ReplyDeletebull or bear has bearing only in the context of investing....also for those traders who only buy and sell
a speculator ie a trader who trades futures or option instruments or a daytrader who trades scrips both ways - does not have to be concerned about the bullish/bearish state of the market....the same set ups get traded except for the direction of the trade....
jafo, I have a different opinion trading style changes in different market conditions ,even while day trading too.Try to catch first intraday breakout in a bear market you will understand the difference or try a long after 4th wave for a fifth up target.That would show the difference between trading a bull market and bear market.
