Nifty opened near PDH and tried to breakout. BOF of PDH gave a short. Sold below PDC. TP at BRN 5900. Tried a long trade on BOF of BRN.This trade did not move. Scratched.Nifty moved in a range just below BRN for a while. BOF of BRN gave another short signal. My target was PDL. But Nifty moved beyond that. Did not go long on BOF of PDL as it was too late.

  1. Hi ST,

    1. Was there a BPB at BRN near 10:25?
    2. How did you decide to take the BOF when NF was trading in a range close to an hour and that it would break RL?

    1. Yes. Yes but the trade did not trigger. I would have gone short if price broke the breakout swing low
    2.This question need some explanation
    Nifty broke and traded below BRN for a while. I was looking to go short. But it suddenly reversed and made an attempt to go above 5900. I went long here as BOF.But price could not proceed beyond the BO candle. There was no followup buying This trade failed
    Trading in the range for a while. Another break above BRN. Fails to go beyond the BO candle. Only stops triggered. No fresh buying followup.Falling back to the range. A BOF. Short below the marked swing low
    BOF trade with the trend, trapped traders order flow will be there. Usually BOF of a range extreme will lead to the break of other extreme.
    FTA is range low the natural target.15 points away Expect a bounce from there. Risk is very low with stop just a point above BRN
    As expected a bounce. Further push down breaks the previous swing low. Now stop just above the new swing high. Trade is free now. No tension. Moves further down and I trail

  4. Sir
    ATP at 14:30 showed 5897 ,market price@5872.considering the trend I went short assuming that most of the traders are long in the market.TP @5845.

    Is this a correct use of ATP or am I plain lucky.

    I do not use VWAP as a stand alone system to enter a trade.Some times it may help to extract more juice from a trade during the last minutes of trading time that is all.

    Your trade 1 is an attempt by the price to cross over to a higher range. That trade gets invalidated as the price fall back to the old range
    Consider the the breakout bar as a MC. once price breaks below the MC trade is over
    Regarding Trade 2,Apply the same logic. Once price refuses to go down below the range low and bounces back you exit the trade above the pin bar and make reasonable profit.
    I kept the stop above the previous swing high as the trade was a second BOF and it was a trend trade.So decided to give it maximum room.
    We are going to regret after each and every trade because we will never perfect our exit.
