Month: August 2019

In the first 2 months of the year when the markets were mostly down in Jan and Feb our Portfolio returned 23.5 % and 18.5% respectively. In a market which went up in March, we clocked a third straight win of 26.4%. Our best performance came in the Month of June when the market moved a narrow 387 points only ( lowest range of the first 6 months) and we clocked 30.9% in that month. Towards the end of the year especially in Nov, we had a few trades go wrong as the twin effects of a Trump Win and Demonetization, both exogenous events, played out a 500 point up- down range in 3 sessions and we gave back 24% to the market.

But in Summary, the year went well for the team at Vtrender and we are happy with the 124% on our model portfolio of 10,00,000/- we started with on Jan 1 2016. That portfolio is at 22,39,743 /- as the year drew to a close.

Our Belief is in Market Profile. It works in all kinds of Markets whether going up or down and even sideways. We also strongly believe in our risk management setups which allow only 3% risk for every trade and allow Time and the System to do the rest. There are very simple rules to trade the market. First is to define your risk and Vtrender believes in knowing the amount beforehand like 30,000 in our case for our 10 L model and then allowing Time for the market to do the rest. In fact, this is a business where you do not make Time your enemy and Market Profile is well known for documenting the importance of Time, Volume and Price. We have lived and breathed on those principles taught to us and are happy with where we are with it.

Dec Series :

Our Belief is in Market Profile and in Order flow. 

The Market Profile is a unique charting tool that enables traders to observe the two-way auction process that drives all market movement.  The Market Profile will guide traders through a new understanding of the market that will allow them to identify the most profitable trade opportunities as they happen.

The Order flow is used to pinpoint the accuracy for entries and the exits. It is the most advanced system for execution of trades and the purest format of Demand and Supply .

If the markets move a 100 points in a day, a traditional technical analysis would give you 100 different “levels” and the “level” of one analysis would be different from the “level” of another. Order flow is the only real time indicator which can show you the correct levels to enter or exit trades allowing a trader to eliminate many mistakes and trade only quality calls.
