28th Nov 2024 - PostMortem on Nifty - Sep and Oct PnL wiped out
Nifty Stance Neutral ➡️
This week was really terrible for me, not only did it wipe out my November, but it took out the October gains as well. Well, I do not blame the market for that, it was all on my overconfidence.
Never ever thought the state elections would play the role of big villain to my PnL. The mistake I made was not to concede ground on Friday itself when the markets moved close to 540 points. I was short at 24050 and that went almost in the money.
If you look at the price actions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Today - it was pretty clear that the upside momentum was really fake. We were never meant to go up. The entire positions I had would have ended in profits if I could have just waited out. But if you think of it from the other angle, in the heat of the moment - covering the shorts and running away for safety would have been the obvious choice.
The 475+ intraday fall today surprised everyone. It trapped all the bulls. Most of them would have loaded up after seeing the FII buy number the last few days after we had a month and a half with sell numbers.
At this point I would like to go neutral and then choose a direction once Nifty makes its next move.
