I have written about educated speculation in the stock markets (here) and about how to create an ideal streamlined portfolio of stocks for the long-term (here). A topic I have never touched is short-term trading in stocks. The irony is that this is what keeps me busy on a regular basis. If you follow the markets as much as I do, it is hard to resist buying and selling in the short-term. So here it is.

Is it your system or strategy? You are not having the Right Strategy and Losing
You — By repeating the same mistakes again and again
As per my experience with trading over 12+ years and also talking with 1000’s of traders over a period of time, my understating is
Traders are often their own worst enemies. The simple reason being most of the traders after doing a big loss will turn to charts and try to find their mistake. What I missed in catching this move, should I apply more indicators or should I learn something new to catch big moves etc. Readers can go back to thought process they went once they took a big loss or missed a major rally.
It’s easier to look at charts and imagine what the market might do or find an excuse , compared to turning inward and engaging in self-examination to determine if any changes in your approach to trading are required.
A very simple exercise will make you understand this
Go back to your past traders, highlight the trades where you made maximum losses, analyse all the loss making trades. You will observe over a period of time you have repeated the same mistake again and again. Be It taking an impulsive trade, trying to find top or bottom, not putting SL , taking over-sized position etc.
What would happen if you identified a recurring mistake? Would you do anything differently while trading, as a result? Would you need or use some type of structure or process to assist you in not repeating the same mistake?
The only thing we actually have any control over is our behaviour. The market will do what it will do. If one is truly interested in maximising / improving P&L, then focus on not to repeat your mistakes again. We may not be able to control our emotions, but we can learn to manage them. Trading Journal is one of the tools which can help you in understanding your mistakes and over a period of time not repeating them.

Let us quickly look at how the Nifty movements have been in the last 10-12 years post the Golden Cross.
Conclusion – It’s a very late indicator but may sometimes give real long-term trend changes. Tough to use it as a decision system. The whipsaws hurt real bad. I would rather prefer looking at price patterns.
