Positives:
Negatives:
Global Markets: Sell off
Both US and European markets saw a sharp selloff. What started off as profit booking after Federal Reserve policy decision has snowballed in to panic selling that sent markets sharply lower.
Panic spread to most of the other asset classes as well such as emerging market ETFs traded in US, High yield bonds etc. One exception was emerging market currency index, the fall was not as sharp as it was in other asset classes. Safe haven assets Japanese Yen was sharply up while gold and dollar index reacted less. The US volatility index was up sharply also.
ASIAN Markets this morning: - Negative
Asian markets are trading in negative territory. However, they are down about 1-2% which is much lessor than what developed markets witnessed yesterday. SGX Nifty is trading about 250 points below yesterday’s Nifty close. SGX Nifty is actually recovering from yesterday night lows.
Calendar events
India’s Trade balance, current account situation and forex reserve position will be released today after market closes.
India : What about Nifty?
The Indian markets have been at the mercy of global mood for while. The panic sell-off will definitely have an impact and markets are likely to open sharply down. It’s easier to know the how markets will open today but what happens after sharp gap down and how to trade in these markets requires skill.
What may happen today after gap down? Lets find out here

What’s going on ?
Market is still like water.
It feels as if everyone is waiting for the supreme court’s judgment.
What are your views ?
I expect this sell off to be developed markets focused… I m hoping that today’s low will hold for some time…
Just my views…
Can you throw light on USD-INR
My tweet about RBI buying up dollars
@TraderVenk
FII and DIIs have gone into sell off by profit booking all over the world, and the market has gapped down. The positive trend still being strong based on various parameters you have chosen makes sense.
Challenge is, from market open the equities that gapped down all are raising. It is strange to see the market fall down and get going as if nothing happened. I am sure you and other experienced traders must have seen this happen countless time.
I suppose the increase is coming from retail investors expecting the up trend to continue, and to profit at a later date. If DIIs have really decided not to sell off as per your speculation(read the disclaimer 
) then it is true till now.
It is uncomfortable to watch all the prices increasing in front of my eyes and keep away from the market. Yet, the strange feeling that the herd is moving towards eventual demise, and not be a part of the herd, is the only thing holding me back till now.
Market has cooled off eventually as of now, verdict is pending and EOD will decide.

That is the whole point. We all have a search problem at the beginning of day.
What scrip? What price? What strategy? What stop? What Target? Then use our systems to find a solutions. Some are simple, and others complex.
If you can lucidly explain the market scenario, I am feeling that you may be having a simple entry / exit or spread adjustment systems. I am curious to what kind of spreads, and legs can create effective intraday strategies?

I dont do intraday spreads
But if i m asked to choose one, I will go for
- vertical spread because margins are low for vertical spreads
- second they are primarily directional trades, so it could give good profitability intraday
- third its least affected by implied volatility swings.
