Here is a quick summary of trades I executed in the last couple of weeks.

  1. ONGC & Cipla
  2. Infosys & Indraprastha Gas Limited
  3. EIH Ltd & Whirlpool of India

Out of six trades, two ended in a loss, and four at profits → net results ended in profits.

Mistakes & Lessons Learned:

ONGC → When the stock broke out by 10%, I must have closed the position; however, due to my health, I did not check the position for a day or two, and thus, stop-loss triggered. Therefore, two important lessons are:

A Stop-loss is a must for every positional trade

When the target is achieved, exit the position → do not let the greed take over, hoping for higher profits.

Trading is all about “hit & run” with the profits. It is a rigid mindset, and only practice can assist in sticking to the trading plan. One should never attempt to trade stocks with an investing philosophy.
