    Dear Sir,
    The market is going in opposite directions twice in a day,and the index is being managed exactly to the point ;-the result-all our stop losses are triggered ! So, waiting for the trend has become difficult.What do we do in such situations ?

    ONE OF MY FRIEND DR. JIGNESH SHAH , HAS TAUGHT ME ONE SYSTEM OF TRADING..
    WHEN I DO RETROSPECTIVE STUDY OF LOSS MAKING TRADE, INVARIABLY IT IS HUMAN EMOTION OR GREED THAT IS AT FAULT. NOW DUE TO THIS SYSTEM AND RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS, LOSS MAKING TRADES ARE MAKING LESSER LOSS AND EARNING HAS INCREASED.
