This is an illustrative example of the concepts being discussed.Markings are just visualizations on historical data in hindsight analysis
Nifty gaped down below PDL against expectation. Went short on BPB of PDL. BRN was a concern. But after a while it gave way. Covered when price came back above RN. Then price got resisted at MSP. Another short when price failed to move above this high. Again covered above RN. Nifty gave another short signal at range high. BOF of range high. Covered when price bounced from BRN.Then tried a long and stopped out quickly

  1. Hi ST

    Nice trades!!
    Can double tops and the consequent price decline be termed as FTC?
    Your second trade (which you have marked as TST), can it be considered as FTC?

    Thanks

    1. Most of the time a counter trend move will stall at a major area.
      It could be a DP, MSP,or a major SR area.If price fails to move beyond this point usually trend will assert
      This point will become a range extreme. You may call it FTC or TST of a probable range. In short it is the termination of a CT move and exhaustion of a corrective wave

  2. You have written for first trade BRN was concern. After 4 bar stalling, price went up. Still you did not exit. Can You explain your thought process here?

    1. It was a CT outside gap as yesterday it showed signs of reversal
      when momentum slowed down I brought down my stop to Break even above 7th bar high
      Price could not retrace above this bar for the next 10 bars and finally broke down

    2. Thanks. You have written that BPB of PDL. It never crossed PDL. Can you explain your statement.

    3. A Gap is a move just like a momentum move or a WRB creating a fluid
      Consider the gap as todays opening move. It broke below PDL and pulled back
      Hope it is clear.

    1. I have not followed Yes bank and do not know how it moves
      So there is no point in reviewing the trade.Ensure it is respecting DPs well

  4. Hi ST,
    Super ST.
    For 3rd Trade(BOF @8180). Wasn't the NIFTY showing signs of Reversal(with channel and higher high). What was your thought process during third trade.

    1. It was a BOF and trapped many BO longs
      Target was 40 area . Extra move was just a bonus
      For a BOF in trend direction, no second thoughts at all
      Just execute and manage

  6. ST,

    Why shorted bpb pdl.. we had large gap at open and yesterdays was sideways day.. what make you not to wait for IR formation and short below irl bpb?

    Secondly how you trailed the first trade.? generally we wait for last swing high to break.also didnt understand your booking in second trade .

    Thanks and Regards

    1. Yesterday was sideways and today gap down. What it means?. Trend resumes after consolidation
      Further today is a counter trend outside gap day.Most of the time price will move in the direction of impulse

      RN 8150 was also NS BRN 8100. First two trades were covered when price failed to stay below the level.
      I do not trail behind swing points alone. I Book profit on FTC, At trouble areas, Failure to stay beyond a prominent level, On break of a major flip. Sometimes if I get a reasonable profit. No trader can perfect his exits and we will regret almost after every other trade

  7. I have slightly out of topic question,
    whats your idea about MCX crudeoil trading? It seems very profitable and flexible timings... but hugely volatile too.

  8. Hi ST,
    A different and nice way of calculating profits found at http://blog.opentrader.com/are-you-making-this-fatal-hidden-trading-mistake/

    Picture a long line of dots. Each dot is a trade. And this current trade is only one in that long line of similar trades. Since the line is so long you don’t care about the results of any specific dot. You just care about putting as many of these good dots on the line as possible.

    And now you have the chance to put another good dot on the line. So just pull the trigger and feel good about it. Who cares if the market goes against you for a loss? You’re an aspiring pro trader. Think like one. And then go count the overall profits from the long line of dots.
