This is an illustrative example of the concepts being discussed.Markings are just visualizations on historical data in hindsight analysis  
Announcement day. Waited till the market stabilized. Short on BOF of PDL/PDC/DO. Shaken out of the trade. Could not get the second leg down. Expected a retest of the bottom and missed the up move. Only one trade

  1. Hi ST,
    Will you consider short trade if the channel (where you marked TRAP) was broken on down side ?

    1. Price is not likely to fall below 8520 quickly, I feel
      Price was within 8520-8570 range . Breakdown of this range quickly reversed and price came back to the range
      Now the tendency will be to test the high of the range or a retest of the low

  3. i was looking for long at the time you shorted seeing the quick reversal above 8550, we have reasons for both long and short here but what worked was shorting.. what reasons you saw for shorting here ?

    1. Long can be taken as a BPB over DO. It was 50 point straight drop from DO. Selling was evident
      Too many barriers on top and a lot of longs already created.

  4. Thanks for your reply.
    Here is my analysis after RBI policy @ 11 pm-
    1. Short below 8550 around 12 pm, long low probability as multiple resistance level, if breaks lower then possible support of 8500 which is 50 point lower.
    2. Possible BOF long around 8500 as there was strong buying from here but price went straight through 8500 around 1240 hr.
    3. BOF short of 8500 with entry trigger below 1327 candle @ 8487 as longs will be trapped if this level broke but this didnt happen. BPB long also had good R:R here as next level was 8550, 50 points up but i am finding it difficult to be prepared for both long and short.
    4. 1345 candle was a strong bull candle and follow up action looked like bull flag, sellers were weak, and upside was limited so no trade now.

    Please review my analysis, also share your views on levels which offer good R:R like 8500 around 2 pm, i find it difficult to be ready for both long and short.

    1. This kind of crazy volatility is difficult to trade and our analysis will always go wrong
      No analysis will work when single bars of 50 point prints. Try trades at extremes on such days

  5. Dear ST,

    I had taken a BPB of 8500 (around 13.30pm). Was the trade in the correct direction or it should have been avoided?

    1. It was a good trade. Only thing is you have to be careful about the flip above it.
