Index trading is a lot safer than trading stocks. Volatility in index contracts are sufficient for a day or swing trader to profit from but not so high that they create problems of setting stops and taking profits.
One of the main advantages of Index trading is that they are not influenced by specific sector or stock based news and developments. This reduces the volatility to a more manageable level and hence controls the risk associated with the trades.
Currently trading occurs in two major indices Nifty and Bank Nifty and to a lesser extent in Cnx IT. Though other indices are available for trading, the volumes are very low and hence they do not form a part of the Index Gains advisory universe. As and when they do, we shall be signaling trades in those indices as well.
HOW DOES THIS TRADING SERVICE WORK?
Trading calls are generated in two different ways. One will be based on Chart Patterns (called CP trades) and the other will be based on Trading System (called TS trade).
The quantity in CP trades can be decided by the subscriber and can be 1 lot or multiple lots. The entry, stoploss, target(s) and expected duration of the trade will be indicated.
In the TS trade, specific quantity will be mentioned along with the usual entry price and stops. In addition, there will be multiple exits and the stops will have to be moved.
The details of how the TS trades are to be worked will be mailed to you and will also be available on our website.
All instructions about the trades shall be sent by sms. But it is advisable for subscribers to log in to the service page on our website as well for better communication. After all, these days, the Sms services have become somewhat unreliable as well as difficult.

Why do you have two types of trades?
Trading should be rule based. We avoid giving out subjective trading calls so as to ensure that the service is as standardized as possible. This makes for easier trade generation, tracking as well as risk control. Hence we have rigorous process based approach to call generation that is distilled down to two approaches.
