Nifty opened within previous day range. Tested PDL and went up. Did not trade the up move as there were PDC and IRH in between. Nifty consolidated for a while after testing PDH. Short below consolidation low. Trailed all the way down.TP at 6240 level. Did not attempt any other trade.

    You may try an add at the BPB of PDL
    Price just escaped from a range and you can expect another leg down

  3. Initial move up and then the consolidation range below PDH had me biased for a long break out above PDH. Just could not change my mindset quickly enough to catch the move down. BPB at PDC was a good short trigger as per me, but somehow I could not come out of my Long bias.

  4. Shorted at the same place. Just one question. Why did you not cover at BRN 6250? Price bounced from there and took out my TSL. Had to add again below the BRN.

    Waited for a pullback. Pullback did not break the flip. So brought down the stop above swing high. Luckily it went down further

    There was no BOF at PDH. Price did not break PDH. It was just a TST.

  10. I was expecting for BOF above PDH/sideways consolidation at day' high for taking short trade, but that didn't happened.
    Then at the point where you marked TST, below it I was seeing it as bear trap which would trap bear and breakout trader entering at break of swing low of uptrend.
    Both the thing didn't happened and I didn't took any trade.
    Pl correct me where I m wrong in reading price action.

    There was a long consolidation within the last corrective wave. During the consolidation you can anticipate 4 trades
    1.BO above PDH
    2.BPB above PDH
    3.BOF of PDH
    4.TST of PDH short below consolidation.
    1 and 2 low probability trades with BRN 6300 above and absence of Bear Trap. Then 4 happened. You just enter and manage it.No guarantee it can be a Bear Trap.
    Market gave another opportunity to enter BPB of PDL
    Plan your trades and trade your plan

  15. Thanks. But if it was TST why you didn't act on that?
    My trade -- though given result--was based on wrong concept even if it was taken as TST???

    Price move in waves.Impulses and correctives. Impulses are long moves in trend direction and correctives short pullbacks.
    Here after hitting PDH price pulled back and this pullback acted as a range for a long time

    The trade was a counter trend trade. Nothing wrong in entering on TST if you are very confident about the level holding. I was not very sure and waited for the confirmation. That is the break of consolidation low.
    Price action trading is not pattern trading or rule based trading. There are only general guidelines. Core concept is the acceptance or rejection of price levels.It is all about taking a decision and managing a trade in an uncertain environment
