Day Trading Recommendations for 21 Oct 2009

For day trading today ie 21 Oct 09 the following are my recommended scrips :-

1. HDIL Oct Fut. Buy one lot (lot size 774) of HDIL Oct Fut at 375/377 and square off after taking a profit of Rs 10/15.
2. DLF Oct Fut. Buy one lot of DLF Oct Fut (lot size 800) at 447/449 and square off after taking a profit of Rs 15/20.
3. Nagarconst Oct Fut. Buy one lot of Nagarconst Oct Fut (lot size 2000) at 160/162 and cover it after taking a profit of Rs 4/5.
4. ICSA Oct Fut. Buy one lot of ICSA Oct Fut (lot size 2000) at 200/202 and take profit of Rs 5/6.
5. Punjlloyd Oct Fut. Buy one lot of Punjlloyd Oct Fut (lot size 1500) at 276/278 and take profit of Rs 8/10.

Recommended buy prices given above are little defensive in nature. They are not aggressive buy prices because there is need for taking caution today. US markets having closed in red and Asian markets at 9.25am 21 Oct 09 also in red, it is prudent to buy at little lower levels. It may so happen that these buy prices may not be met in trade today. But then that's fine. Day trading also means that on some days you need to sit out and watch the market.

I am yet not giving sell recommendations because as of now the market momentum is still up. So we will respect that, till it is confirmed that sell orders can be safe for day trading in futures. Until then it is better to stay on the buy side of bullish stocks, observing due precautions.

NTPC Stake Sale - Trading action

For entering trade today in stocks futures I had given recommendations on 19th Oct, both for day trading and swing trading. For easy reference please check these two links -

http://archana-archdeb.blogspot.com/2009/10/swing-trade-for-19th-october.html and http://archana-archdeb.blogspot.com/2009/10/day-trading-recommendations-for-19-oct.html

However you may also add NTPC to the list because of the news flow yesterday.

NTPC has been accepted by Indian Govt for disinvestment. The cabinet has agreed for 5% stake sale of this state owned thermal power generation company, the largest in India valued at around Rs 1.7 trillion. Presently Govt owns 89.5% shares in the company, rest being held by the public. In 2008-09 the company had a profit of about Rs 78,270 million to a revenue of about Rs 4,21,820 million. The sale of shares of NTPC could net Rs 86,000 million to the Govt. This sure is sentiment enhancing news and one that could propel the stock northwards in today's trade. So my recommendation would read as follows :-

NTPC OCT Fut. Buy NTPC Oct Fut at 213/214 for day trading. You should target 220 as the initial sell point. However break above 220 should see the scrip sailing to 230 in 2/3 trading sessions.

Day Trading Recommendations for 20 Oct 2009

In the last post I had given recommendations for entry into swing trading when Indian stock markets open today ie 20 Oct 2009. But if you cannot stomach the waiting game while holding position in Futures then the best answer for you is to day trade. So the swing trading recommendations given in the last post ( http://archana-archdeb.blogspot.com/2009/10/swing-trade-for-19th-october.html) can be utilized as day trading opportunities with small profit targets of 3 to 5%.

Apart from that, given below are some more scrips in which you may like to day trade today:-

LITL. Buy LITL Oct Fut at 550/552 for a target of 580/585. You may have to wait for one more trading session for this target.

DLF. Buy DLF Oct Fut at 448 and cover the position at 500. This target may take one more trading session to materialize.

Nagarconst. Buy Nagarconst Oct Fut at 164/166 and cover your position at 174/176. In case you are unable to square off position today then hold for just one more trading session as BTST position.
