I bought six lots (24,000 shares) of PTC India of Feb series at Rs 77.12 average price, and it closed at Rs 70.45 which has resulted in the loss of Rs 1,60,900. Please advice can I expect any uptrend in the share price in the next 2 weeks. I was also expecting quarterly results this week. I am on tour this week and do not have sufficient funds in the kitty for covering the margin money.— N. Venkataraman

PTC India: The stock is expected to move in a narrow range of Rs 85-65 in the short-term.

It finds immediate support at Rs 65.50 and a close below that will drag the stock towards Rs 58.

F&O pointers: The PTC India Feb futures added short positions in open interest on Friday. Options are not active.

Strategy: If you cannot afford to monitor your position constantly, then avoid entering into derivatives. Besides, averaging concept never works in F&O. Regarding this position, if you can afford, hold it with a stop-loss it Rs 65. Shift the stop-loss to Rs 70, if the stock opens on positive note on Monday.
