What is a short-selling?

The reverse of the usual stock market technique, short selling is based on the anticipation that a particular security price will go down. The practice of short selling involves borrowing shares of a security from your broker and immediately selling them at the current price. Then, as the price of that security declines, you Buy back an equal number of shares on the open market and use them to cover the shares you borrowed from your broker, and make a profit.

For instance, if you Sell short 100 shares of XYZ Corporation at 50.00 a share and the price of the stock drops to 35.00, your profit is 15.00 a share, or 1500.00. Short sellers lose when the price of the stock ascends rather than descends.

Theoretically, there is more risk involved with short selling because a stock price could continue to rise forever. A stock purchased at 10.00 a share can only fall to zero. A stock sold short at 10.00 could go to 20.00, 30.00, 40.00, etc.

How the ROI is Calculated?

Return on Investment (ROI) is equivalent (analogous) to paper trading on the Buy and Sell signals provided by us. It is the return the investor might have earned if he has taken every call on suggested by us on a selected stock for a selected time horizon. The steps to calculate ROI is as under:

Suppose you bought 100 units of stock at a closing price of 10.00/- when we gave a Buy Signal investing about 1000.00/-
In the following weeks when we provides a Sell signal you sell the stock for a closing price of about 12.00/-. Thus getting a return of 20%.
The profit of 200.00/- is accounted separately and the principal amount of 1000.00/- is re-invested when you get the next buy signal at the days closing price.
The process is repeated on every Buy and Sell signal that the chart provides.
The stock is not sold short at the sell signals, only the long position is closed.
The above cycle is repeated for a period of 1 year.

How frequently is the data refreshed?

Delivery is an EOD based system in which signals are updated every end of the day. However, one can check the latest price of a stock by clicking on the last candle of the chart to get the latest data one needs to refresh the page.
