It looks like most traders in India are day traders and very few are positional traders. So most of the falls in Indian markets are gap downs and intraday the operators - a.k.a FII - Fucked up Institutional Investors do is to force short covering and in the process get some dumb longs.
Here is what happened to my traders yesterday:
1. Shorts @5272 - with 5300CEs as hedges in the ratio of 3:2
2. More shorts @5284 - with 5300CEs as hedges in the ratio of 3:2
3. Some more Shorts @5297 - with 5300CEs as hedges in the ratio of 3:2
Average short price 5282 or something .. and what happens 2:50 yesterday FIIs decide to screw all the shorts. And in 2 minutes some 12L Nifty futures are traded and price rises to 5291.
And I am thinking ... I have hedges so i am ok till 5300+. And boom next thing u know is suckers run it above 5300 - losses mount :(
And then they start premium of 11-14 points and market goes to 5311 - now I start doubting - OK I am short but this thing is looking ominous. Let me see if it stops at 5313-5314. Eventually they run it all the way up to 5320 and there's just few minutes left.
With heavy losses and the kind of volumes coming in NF - I feel Nifty will gap up - especially because S&P500 is oversold and if S&P closes 1-2% up - we might gap up to 5350 levels! So I decide to cover most of my shorts @5321 and leave the 5300CEs.
And the FIIs - the Fucked up Institutional Investors quietly gap down Nifty by almost 60 points -- like robbers entering through the back door. I was thinking what the fuck is that? At least US markets have some amount of shame - almost 80-90% of fall happens intraday. And gap down is just a small % of the fall.
And next day u don't feel like shorting because of the previous day ramp-to-screw-shorts :(
PS: And most Indian bloggers are horribly optimistic - totally unaware of whatever the fuck is happening in whole world. They take some oscialltors or some averages and live in their own world. I am sure even they get screwed by FIIs - because during months when Nifty rises - they might make money but during months when market falls they might just promptly give back all the the money to the FIIs!
