This is an illustrative example of the concepts being discussed.Markings are just visualizations on historical data in hindsight analysis
Nifty opened near BRN 8500 and moved down breaking PDC.I was expecting a gap down due to weak global cues. Went long on BOF of PDC/BRN. Exited when price failed to move above NS BRN level. . Price did not touch any DP afterwards and there was no prominent range formation. Waited for a signal at PDH before closure. Price did not reach there.

  1. Hi ST,
    Would you have taken BOF short if price had moved down at BRN , (at the place where you took long_ , instead of going up ?

    1. Yes
      I do not Enter at NS levels as they are not considered as DP
      They are used for managing the trades

    1. That swing high was NS BRN
      When price gave a FTC above this exited. I was sure that this will bring down price to BRN again
      Was looking for a TST or BOF again at BRN. But price ran away

  4. ST,

    Why didnt you exited the long when next bar after brekout bar failed and moved to 95. ? where you kept initial sl? wasnt it a barbwire around 8500?

    Thanks and Regards

    1. My stop was below the 7th bar low
      First pullback of up move.Risk was around 11 points
      Usually if Nifty moves against other Asian markets there will be directional conviction
      Still a BW can develop

  5. After FTC day's High and formation of Pivot low in 14:09 bar, I went short below PL in 14:15 bar. What was your thought process in this point. Above high of 14:18 bar, I did exit. Where should have been exit? can you share your thought process here?

    1. I skipped this trade due to the following reasons
      1. Trade was CT
      2. 8532 swing high looked very prominent and I felt this flip will hold
      3. Trade was not at a DP. I would have shorted if the signal came at PDH
      4. Why didn't you short below the pivot low made by 14.00 bar?

    2. Thanks for detailed reply.
      Considering bars like 14:00 as pivots, I thought as micro management and also it was CT. hence waited for further confirmation

    3. Risk is reduced by making entry close to the stop and not by placing the stop close to the entry.
      Decide your exit first. http://niftynirvana.blogspot.in/2012/07/exit-first.html

    DPs are not magical levels. They are high probability support and resistance levels
    RN is a comparatively weaker level and it is very difficult to identify NS levels on NF charts
    It always reminds me of this. http://www.goodkids.in/wp-content/uploads/Marriage-of-Draupadi.jpg
    I very rarely attempt to trade NS levels on NF and I have burned my fingers many times. There is nothing wrong in trading these levels at all, but I will not advise it. If you feel confident to shoot an arrow looking at the reflection, just do it
