Look at this plan. The shares are again of BHEL (India) traded on the National Stock Exchange – NSE. The trading lot is one lot of 75 shares. The approx margin is about Rs.25000. This strategy works when the market price is range bound or when there is a high volatility.
The plan is as follows:
- Buy when the previous day was a bear day and the current day is a bull day.
- Buy at the closing price when the market is closing.
- Place a sell order the next day at buy price + 65 basis points (65 basis point is not sacrosanct. You can decide keeping in view the risk you are willing to take.)
- If the sale is not executed and that day is a bear day then sell it at the closing price.
- Then wait for the bull day after a bear day for the next trade.
Remember no plan or strategy is fool proof and will give profits always
