Possible 10-15% correction in NIFTY 500

Nifty 500 aka CNX500 trading between 8400-10000 levels since June 2017. Recently Nifty 500 for some time struggled around the psychological reference 10000 levels. Broken outside the upper balance, however, failed to continue sustaining above the balance indicating possible tired investors.

Look above the balance and fail is a critical sign of momentum exhaustion and bring a potential target destination of another side of the balance which roughly comes around 8400-8650 levels.

How nifty will change in the coming decade

Going by the historical trend since the Nifty was created, almost all the entrants into the Nifty over the next decade will come from 100 stocks currently just underneath the Nifty. In order to assess which of these 100 companies will find themselves in the benchmark a decade hence, it is worth first trying to assess how the Indian economy will change over the coming decade.

We see three noteworthy changes taking place in India over the next decade:
  • The continuing formalisation of the economy and the concentration of profit share in almost every sector in the hands of one or two companies.
  • The formalisation of savings, away from physical savings, and toward financial savings.
  • The continuing formalisation of retail and, more generally, of distribution channels in India.
  • Let’s delve deeper into each of these changes.


1) India is already an economy with extraordinary levels of profit share concentration in many key sectors. For example, in paints (Asian Paints, Berger Paints), premium co...

Mistaking luck for skill

The potential for temporary success by pure luck beguiles people into thinking that trading is a lot easier than it is. The potential for even temporary success doesn’t exist in any other profession. If you have never trained as a surgeon, the probability of your performing successful brain surgery is zero. If you have never picked up a violin, your chances of playing successful solo violin in front of the New York Philharmonic are zero. It is just that trading has this quirk that allows some people to be successful temporarily without true skill or an edge—and that fools people into mistaking luck for skill.

The key here is the overwhelming odds of denial when experiencing luck. Associating success with skill feels amazing. And it feels amazing because you get excited about your ability to repeat it. The thrill of a winning trade is not just the money you make; it’s the money you anticipate you’ll keep making in the future.

Behind the bipolar market behaviour

Institutions, led by mutual funds, are sticking to the safety of the top 250 stocks while retreating from the rest of the market

In recent times, India’s bellwether stock indices — the Nifty50 and Sensex30 — have behaved like the proverbial cat with nine lives. Dire events such as US-Iran hostilities, trade wars, India-Pakistan face-offs and the global recession scare, have triggered only shallow corrections in the indices from which they have bounced back smartly. They’ve brushed off fundamental factors such as India’s worsening GDP growth print, repeated earnings misses by India Inc and sky-high valuations, to scale new highs.

The index behaviour has caused much heartburn for domestic investors. Retail investors, the bulk of whose money is parked in the mid- and small-cap segments of the market, have seen their portfolios lose value while the Nifty50 and Sensex30 have notched up double-digit gains.

Intraday Margin Likely to Increase Sharply Even for Cover & Bracket Orders

In the recent circular, issued by NSE and BSE it is clarified that brokers have to collect additional intraday margins for equities & derivatives (Equity, Commodities, Currencies). This new regulation seems to be applicable even for exotic leveraged tools like cover orders & bracket orders.

Currently, brokers charge only VAR margins for Intraday Equity trades which will soon likely be VAR + ELM margin. And for FNO trades it is likely to be Initial Margin (Span + Exposure Margin) for intraday trades has to be collected upfront from the trader.

These newer regulations directly affect the traders & brokers community. It is negative news for the traders who looking for higher leverage to boost up their returns.

This Increase in margin will push more traders towards Option Buying or Short term Investing Strategies as higher margins reduce the liquidity supply from the retail segment.

Intraday based portfolio level algo traders/Systematic Traders are also the impacted ones.

Expiry Day Option Sellers are the most impacted ones as it simply destroys the higher returns the intraday option sellers make on those expiry day trades.

Overall, Controlled greed is good as it protects many entry-level traders from taking bigger leverage and thereby brings reasonable expectations in the markets.
