i generally try to take and share trades with stoploss of 10-15 points.
like the last one where the stoploss is just 11 points away.
if one trades in nifty futures and trades with 1 lot (say), then the max risk in a 11 point SL is of 550 rupees. add another 150 rupees as brokerage (majority brokers charge less), this adds up to 700 rupees.
if the trade goes in the desired direction and gives a profit of 30 (say) points, the benefit amounts to 30x50=1500 rupees. minus brokerage of 150, it comes to 1350 rupees.
if one trades with mini-nifty, all this gets reduced proporationately.
if one can't take this much of risk with this much of potential for profit, one should not consider taking up trading. instead he or she can opt for occasionally buying lottery ticket.
otherwise, it can be a pretty decent self-employment.
only 3 conditions : a) i am assuming that the trader has got basic trading skills, b) he ruthlessly and strictly uses stop loss preferably using bid option, so that no time is wasted if SL is hit, c) re-enter the trade if price crosses back the SL (preferably in the same session).
the only game spoiler can be = a sudden sharp move that jumps the stop loss bid range.
this may happen occasionally. this is stock market - a semi-war zone!
this is why it is so important that we lose small and profit max possible - to build a buffer for such occasions.
trading is simple but not simplistic!
