23072014


Nifty opened above BRN 7800 and fell sharply. IR formed. Short on BOF of BRN/DO. It gave a bounce at IRL but hit the target PDH/PDC. Covered when second push down failed. Long on BOF of PDC/PDH on break of  IRL. Stopped out at trailing SL. Short on break of then LOD. Price stalled at RN 7750. Covered at a small profit. There was an order for long above PDH. Nifty jumped it. No more trades..

  2. ST,
    I did not take the first trade, thinking it as a CT trade and also only 10 points between BRN and IRL.
    Did I miss anything?

    Thanks.

    1. Yes. You missed a good trade.
      Do not look at the signals in isolation. Consider other factors
      1.Price already moved up vertically since 2.30 Yday
      2.Trend gap may stall and consolidate at the first barrier
      3.Initial move down. Failed to stay above BRN
      4.Open itself is a BOF. Signal is the second one
      5.Good rejection. Nice pin bar
      6.10 point space is there. Enough to move SL to Breakeven
      7.Market moving up for six days. Correction /consolidation is overdue
      8.Risk is within limit
      When market gives such good RR opportunities, grab it
      Do not look for certainties.

    1. Think what other traders are doing
      There was a BOF at PDC and price moved up. It made 3 higher highs and higher lows
      I was also long and exited at 7780 the second higher low.I expected the stops of early longs below the then LOD and sold with them. The move till RN was just this stop triggering not genuine selling.
      Your BPB trade was very low probability one. You were trading into a very strong FLIP which resisted 4 times yesterday. Trade need space to move. Many traders do not consider this . You should know where Favourable /opposing order flow exists.

  4. Hi ST,
    same question as "kachyakago". First trade looked counter trend. What was the basis for this trade ?

  5. Hi ST
    1) How did you execute your third trade??
    2) I initiated a buy where you TP for your third trade.( BOF LOD also RN). Was it valid??

    Thanks

    1. It was with a SL Limit order
      It is valid. But FTA should be PDC/PDH
