After three days of up move, NIFTY took a dive yesterday.
A good 107 points down.
Probably there is more to come. It is wait and watch from now on. With 6 days left to expiry, we are in a spot of trouble.
The fall of 107 points did not do much for us. With the exception of IBULHSGFIN, other stocks moved down narrowly with no appreciable change in the value of PUTS. And there were those which went up like INDUSINDBK and RELINFRA. The move in RELINFRA was quite unexpected as it opened lower and the anticipation was that it will remain lower. On the other hand, the stock moved higher while NIFTY was going down. These things happen and have to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Still, PUT 340 in RELINFRA is with a chance.
We look forward to CIPLA, IBULHSGFIN and TATAMOTORS coming good and making the trades worthwhile. Even IDEA trade can deliver.
US markets ended negative on Tuesday too. Asia is mildly in the red and SGX NIFTY is down 17 points. These indicators can go wrong anytime and every time. Real time trades only tell us the true story and one has to go through the pain to come out good.
With 9 trades already in the bag, I would not go for a new trade today.
If IBULHSGFIN comes down to Rs. 680 levels, I would book profit in PUT 740 and move to PUT 660. This will ensure protecting some profit and staying in the trade with possibility of either making a small profit or a small loss. The decision depends on the market move.
Trade cautiously, trade profitably.

Looks like this month will be an another August series. These hard times will actually defines what kind of trader we are.
Hoping for a better end to this series, though my expectations are nothing spectacular.

Dear Tharik,
It is time that such thoughts will come. Even with a 150 point fall in NIFTY, our positions did not gain anything. With recovery in NIFTY we may be in for more trouble.
You can not win every battle.
Cheers.

Dear Promod Sir,
It is very true and as you always say, we have to accept what market gives us. Even I had some additional PUT selections other than the ones you had suggested here and the efforts were in vain.
Hard lesson that was learnt from this series is that, when the market is not doing what we wanted it to do, then we should avoid over-trading.
Hopefully we will recover in coming months and better days should be arriving soon 🙂
Thanks a lot for your comments Sir.

Pramod Sir & Tharik,
In addition to suggested puts i took 3-4 CALLS considering the “Bullish” market , if it’s of any console , even Calls didnt do any good (just 1 Call in HDFCBANK did marginally good)..
So, Yes, Eventually what market give u have to take 🙂
