This is a crappy return - only 10% when the Nifty has gone down more than 30%. I haven't done it justice, and definitely gotten out of trades before I should have, and not had a decent short retained. Lessons learnt, and I hope I'm able to perform decently going forward. Let's see.

>Hi Deepak,
Even though this is hypothetical, shouldn’t you be putting in a stop with all your trades? That way you can calculate your Risk Reward ratios and adjust your position size as well?

>Good point – I think I might want to do that with further trades, or to modify this trade. Perhaps a wide enough stop will suffice but a stop nevertheless. thanks!
