>Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers dated 05th may


>Trading day 5th may

Two days holiday mind fresh glutted with fresh ideas to trade was fairly bullish with few new trades in mind PENINLAND ,SOBHA DEVELOPERS.

Well market started and you see when everything looks good something bad happens my live data feed stopped sucking data into AMIBROKER and me being a chart guy am blind without charts ,I usually don't trade with out charts until forced.Well kept fighting with that software without any sucess.It was only by 12.30 pm my live charts started to bulid those up down hills but by that time i was frustrated also felt like lost many trading opportunities well had some juice and started to concentrate.
Peninland was already up so no trade there.
Same with sobha developers.

Let me update on swing trades still active
ORCHID moved up(no profit booked yet)
DCB did 120 and was booked there
TVS MOTOR 50 CA fell today holding on to it.

So virtually no new trade today till about 1.30 pm
Divislab started to look good on chart since was feeling but left out jumped into the trade without any confirmation and yes Sl was hit game over!!!.Did not do any other trade The only positive thing was Maharashtra seamless which spurted 7% .All in all an ok ok day will try to analyze orchid today which is an swing trade taken since 240+.

>Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers Dated 2nd May


>Futures the luring Ghost



First the bad news: best estimates suggest that 90% of individuals who trade futures lose money doing
so.
Now for the worse news
: This estimate may be too low.The sad fact is that somewhere along the way the majority of traders make one or more critical mistakes in their trading, which cause their losses to exceed their winnings.The good news is that the mistakes that cause most losing traders to fail are quite common and readily identified.
.The better news is that by being aware of the potential for making
these mistakes and by taking steps to avoid them, you can make a great leap towards becoming a more consistently profitable trader. Target to achieve is
to become a more successful trader – not
necessarily by trying to be a “good” trader, but trying how not to be a “bad” trader.

the high rate of failure among futures traders can be attributed
primarily to three factors:

• The lure of easy money
• The lure of excitement
• An utter lack of preparedness to deal with the potential downside
Unfortunately, it seems that many individuals are lured into
futures trading for a lot of the wrong reasons.

Let me try to explain with an example!!

Suppose someone offered anyone who shows up the
opportunity to drive an sleek Ferrari race car around the track
with the promise that the person with the fastest time will
receive a Rs 1crore prize. Will a lot of people show
up to take a shot? You bet(Many would be present just for the adrenaline rush).
Will most of them be truly
prepared for what they are about to do? Not likely. Will
someone win the Rs1crore? Of course. Will 90% of
the drivers fail to make it to the finish line?

Welcome to the exciting world of Future speculation!!!
