Nifty opened within the previous day Barbed Wire and broke BRN. Went long on BO pull back of BRN. Entry was on break of PDH. Then it was trailing till the end. There was no confusion at all. TP near NS RN 6850.

    A smooth day after quite a time.
    Traded Tata Steel as BOF IRL. It was trailing after that.

    Thanks

      Fortunately these days are very rare.
      The range trading mindset will stay and we will try to short at every DP
      Fortunately the market never gave a short signal today

      Yes. Difficult to enter again on an over extended move.
      Should get an entry early and ride the move

      When can one confirm a day in Type 1. (trending)

    3. I too could'nt enter a trade as was not feeling comfortable because of the extended moves in one direction. When the market has already moved 40-50 points my mindset becomes to look for a counter trend trade. This is what prevented me from entering a trade today.

  5. Hi ST,

    Although i have left trading Positional, but an Observation on daily Chart. A TRAP pattern has occurred giving an Entry signal for a Positional Long today-

      You are right. It was a TRAP
      I was aware of it. Further up move will create a flip zone at 6900
      One can go long with SL below it. But everything will depend on the "Big Event"
      On 04022014, I had posted a day chart which I deleted later. It was about a BOF of 6000
      Market was in a range 6000-6400 for a long time. This BOF ran for 800 points

    There is no way to know for sure.
    But there will always be some clues around.
    1.Price broke out of the Barbed wire range. naturally we can expect some up move
    2.Break out of BRN which showed strength
    3.BO PDH. A major transition in sentiment
    4.BOF of BRN 6700 , Range low of daily chart.6700-6900 range
    5.Positional traders panic and start to exit
    6.Critical mass of position traders short
    7.Reversal after nine days of continuous fall.
    8.Move in the direction of major trend after a pull back.
    9.Week end . Shorts already in profit started booking profit on the first sight of reversal
    10.Position buildup for election result play
    For other funny reasons watch CNBC
    But nobody thought Nifty will retrace the nine day fall in a single session.
    Anyway fortunes were made and lost today

    1. Hi ST,
      Yesterdays Barbed wire has significance today ?
      Why I am asking this is there was BOF PDC today and I hesitated to take long because of barbed wire .

      If price opens within previous days closing range, this range extremes may act as barriers.
      This is applicable to all ranges including Barbed wires. If the range is narrow better to wait till price trades out of it

    3. Great situational awareness. Thanks!

      CNBC? I would rather watch Cartoon Network with my kid. I have already lost lot of money watching CNBC experts.

  8. Hi ST,

    New reader here. Where did you put your initial stop loss? Was it just below the 6700 BRN? Thanks.

      Thanks for the visit and comment
      Initial SL was below BRN. But if price falls below PDH after breakout, I will look to scratch

  9. Hi ST,
    Is there any trading related reason(as in better data perhaps?) you prefer to use icharts rather than Amibroker?

      No special reasons.
      I dont want to run any scans or AFLs . just wanted to know what market is doing right now at the moment
      So avoided all the headache of database maintenance, back fill,data purification etc.Only drawback is cant access it without connecting to net.
