Trading in Futures

idea posted by Gandhi Rajan Sr. Associate, ICICI Securities

For short term and active traders it may be better to trade in futures instead of buying stocks and holding in depository account. This is because one has to wait for delivery to come on T+2 so as to sell those stocks.

YES I DO AGREE

Book profits, when you can

idea posted by Santosh Bhosle Associate, IFCI

For me it’s important to keep things simple. This is a bear market. Buy and hold strategy is not likely to work. It is better to book your profits as and when you earn. This is not the time to be greedy. So be happy with the things you have at hand.

The 'Options' option

idea posted by Venkatachalam C V Sr. Associate, JP MorganChase


For risk averse investors it is better to trade in Options in order to minimize risk. Buy calls of stocks or Nifty if you are bullish on some particular shares or the market as a whole in the short term. Conversely buy puts of stocks or Nifty if you are bearish. Unlimited profits can be earned by incurring limited cost with no risk in this strategy.

Over trading can spoil the party

idea posted by Varun Sood Associate, JP MorganChase


Do not overtrade and take extra risks. It is important here to remember that cash is king in uncertain times. You are likely to continue getting panic situations going ahead, where cash can be very gainfully deployed.
