concepts being discussed.Markings are just visualizations on historical
data in hindsight analysis
Nifty gaped up above PDH. Pulled back to BRN. Went long on TST of BRN. Covered when price was not able to scale NS BRN 8200 for 20 points. Then it was a grinding up move. Suspected a channel and did not attempt the BO trade. Missed the best move of the day

Hi ST
ReplyDeleteWhat was your SL when u TP??
After the entry , I allowed a pull back. Then raised my SL below this swing low
DeleteSquared off when price retraced that green WRB
ST
hi st,
ReplyDeleteis considering 8260 as msp according to 6 jan is right or not i have taken a bof trade and stopped out .
No. In an up trend MSP is always a swing low
DeleteWhen you took short MSP was 8640
ST
so its better to consider msp as per eod charts
DeleteYou have not understood the concept correctly, I think

Thanks ST..
ReplyDeleteHi ST,
ReplyDeleteWould you have taken BOF RN short at around 2:30 if market had given a chance , since critical mass was long?
rgds
Kishore
No. Last impulse may act as a range.
DeleteI will wait for the MSP to crack as it is very near
ST
Hi ST,
DeleteSo did you place a short order below MSP near RN ?
thanks
Kishore
No. Price will take support at IRH.
ReplyDeleteWhy should one look to short here. Price was consolidating till 2 PM and has just broken out
Daily has made a HH and HL and changed into Rally mode.
Daily in rally mode
Price above PDC
Price above DO
Price in a higher range
Price making HH and HL
Last DP crack is to the upside
MSP did not crack.
Trade not at a DP
Open was a CT outside gap
There is no space
Cant say critical mass long. Most of them might have entered on IRH break
Favorable order flow can only be expected below 8220
Logical SL is 25 point away
Any of these observations favor a short?
ST
thanks ST

Rajesh,
DeleteThanks for the simple detailed explanation !
Long @8200
Excruciating wait from 10:18 to 13:54 with SL 8205
Covered @8270
Thanks Rajesh for all the market gyan !
With Kind Regards
Sir,
ReplyDeletePlease clear following point
[IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/21dlf95.png[/IMG]
It was not a convincing BOF. A BOF should trap many BO traders
DeletePrice never broke the days first candle high to trap BO traders
Read the above reply to Pai. Nothing favours a short. Dont look for patterns in isolation
Stay with the market Bias
ST
I too took this short. After gap up, price was lacking momentum to break out over IRH. Multiple attempts at IRH failed, So I decided to go short. However on hindsight, it indeed was not a very favorable trade. Price was making HH , HL although in a grinding manner. And as ST, also pointed out, the high of the first bar was not broken.
DeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI took the trade the moment it got reversed at BRN 8200, it got filled at 8204. I put stop loss of 10 points. It made a barbed wire pattern and I got stopped out on 09:51 candle. My question is what made you wait till the second TST and what was your initial stop loss? If possible tell me what was my mistake?
Thanks in anticipation
Akash
It is always better to wait for a second test for such TST trades
ReplyDeleteTST trades will not have trapped traders order flow like a BOF
There is nothing wrong with your entry or exit. It may happen many times
Try to enter as close as the level possible so that you get maximum room.
If you could enter at 8200 with a SL at 8190, you may not get shaken out
Please note the price action. 13 candles traded at 8200 and that is 45 minutes
ST
Hi ST,
DeletePlease note the price action. 13 candles traded at 8200 and that is 45 minutes" --> Can elaborate this please. Do you mean number of Trapped traders are more with this ?
Nothing related to trapped traders. Just telling all these 13 candles provided an opportunity for a better entry
DeleteIf you reading is that a particular level is going to hold , try to get an entry as close as possible
ST
Hallo, ST,
ReplyDeleteAfter long there are 8 green candles and 2 red and next one though green but with inverted hammer. My question what you made to stop from taking an exit from your long position at this moment? You have squared off your position with what logic?
Thanks.
I do not pay much attention to these candles. I allowed a pull back and when price failed to move above the earlier swing high which was also NS BRN, I exited. There is another reason which you may not find rational and in fact some what ridiculous. A profit in the first trade of the day gives a psychological boost and comfort. well begun is half done
DeleteST
Hi St. I choose to stay out today. Out in first session because there were too many whipsaws around BRN. Wasn't around during second half but I doubt if BO Long orders would have executed given speed of upmove. There certainly wasn't any PB .. wasn't the second half trade a BO?

I was suspecting a channel and stayed out
