Pre-Market Opening thoughts - Trading Nifty- 14 Jul 2009

Dow Jones last night made an impressive recovery - I have no idea why, nor do I need to know - suffice it to to say that in one day's action it has recovered what it had lost in last four days - in my book, that is impressive whether this reverses a down trend or not.

The last five days of Nifty also shows that it had lost ground in four out of those five day.

SGX nifty is trading +50 points - hovering just around 4020/4030 which was the highest level on Friday before Nifty suddenly gave way.

It seems therefore that we may have a uptrending day - the problem with my statement is that almost everyone may be thinking the same - where is the edge then?

At any rate, it might be prudent not to short today ( not until we reach somewhere near 4220) and perhaps go long with a Nifty spot SL at 3920 which was the lowest point yesterday.

If it turns out to be a volatile day as well, trailing SL may not work, in which case book profit when your target is reached . What could be a good target? For day traders, a target that gives them silghtly above their average profit per trade might be a good target.
