Nifty opened within previous day range.Narrow IR formed. Went long on the strong rejection of price below IRL. Closed the trade when price fell below IRH.. Another long trade on TST of Range low. TP at range high.. Short on BOF of HOD.I was expecting this trade to move well. It did not.
hi sir
ReplyDeleteWhat made you to go long on tst of ir low...price was not strongly rejected .It was hanging around that level for 3 bars..And with brn and pdc below were you not expecting a tst of that atleast..?
Hi ST sir,
ReplyDeleteYour first trade was a blinder, only a pro like u or a total novice will have taken that trade :)

ReplyDeleteI am not clear whether you are refering to the first BOF or the second TST of IRL
First BOF
"And with brn and pdc below were you not expecting a tst of that atleast..? ".
Yes I was. So were you and so many others. People were expecting at least a gap closure, a cool 20 point trade.So what they did ? They shorted the break of IR low (Notice the hammer and its volume)
This BOF trapped many and they started exiting changing the net order flow to buy side.
I was anticipating a move to 5760, a prominent swing high. But it did not.
Second TST
Second trade was a little risky one.In fact I was also not much confident. I took the trade because
1.The candle which penetrated the IRL was a MC. Price broke the high of this MC
2.Price went above the Flip zone 5720, the previous swing low and two candles traded above this level
I was having doubt whether it can break the previous swing high

ReplyDeleteThere were solid reasons behind that trade. Please do read my answer to Akshay.
I believe Market will provide us very subtle clues well before any move.My effort is to identify, isolate and train my mind to pay selective attention to them.I hope I can achieve automaticity and become consistently profitable.
I am not a pro. We are all work in progress. May be I am running a lap ahead of you in this race. That is all

hi sir
ReplyDeleteI was referring to second trade.But i agree that with anurag that your first trade was a blinder.In real time taking that trade is really tough because market had not clearly formed any range.
In the hindsight first trade seems to be tradeable but in live trading was not able to even perceive it as an opportunity. Probably was skeptical after yesterday's post-budget fall, waiting for price to settle in a range.
ReplyDeleteAnd sir, you are definitely many laps ahead of us (and accelerating :) ), though with all your guidance and support we aim to catch up fast. I know its a marathon and continuous learning process.
When you take trades, apart from BOF, BPB, TST at DPs and range BOs, a lot of thinking goes in. Sir, I request you to plz mention your thought process behind trades taken, more frequently. If possible, for atleast one trade everyday.
Anurag
ReplyDeleteThe three setups around DPs are my bread and butter trades. Others are just scalps.Considering the high commission and slippages these traders are not attractive.
ST
My bad ST sir, actually i was referring to the thought process going behind taking trades based on these three setups and BOs i.e. your reading of prior price pattern, your understanding of trapped traders, critical mass etc.
ReplyDeleteHii ST sir ,
ReplyDeletei am reading your blog one by one article ,
the question of aburag is still awaiting for answer , now i am also lots of time confused about your word and behind that word thinking process about it , like ....ORDER FLOW , CRITICAL MASS , trapped trader .
sir , its long way of process to get all these things to know ...but any clues for that .
sir many times you says in your post.
1)Order Flow on other side ......
2) Critical Mass on Buy /Sell side
3)Traders on Buying side /selling side ...
what is thought process behind this type of thought , me also think like that ...but lot of times mkt react opposite side on thinking ...thats why i stop this type of thinking ...is it essential for trading?
OR only see on chart ...what says chart that only do ...dont think other than that ...
please guide sir
thank you
