A mistake many Nifty Future traders make is that they forget that they are trading a derivative. Many fail to monitor the Nifty spot Index level. We pay attention to Big Round Numbers on NF but fail to notice BRN on the underlying. If NF stalls at an unexpected area always have a look at nifty spot. Most probably it may be approaching some crucial area
Big players will be having huge option exposures,As you know strike prices are in multiples of hundred . They will fight out tooth and nail to defend their territory. Fierce battles are always fought around these strike prices.
Trade very carefully around these areas,especially on expiry days . There is very high probability of getting whipsawed a lot, if you are playing for ten and fifteen points
I feel ,generally Nifty moves in swings of 20 points. NF levels may vary a little as per market sentiment because of the premium or discount component. . In my experience 3 minute charts are ideal to capture 20 point swings. 5 Minutes are also good .Higher time frames are useless and 1M is too fast for me. Majority of the traders are using 5M charts. I prefer 3M because it gives early signals than the 5M

I will always allow the majority to enter after me and take my position to profit
My experience since 1998 tells me that the cartons and containers give consistent money and not the individual soap packets. :)

Hi SBSB
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my blog.You are so special to me because you are the first one to make a comment.
I respect your opinion. But I am not a greedy inexperienced person started trading to make a fast buck.
I started as a buy and hold investor in 1987 before the existence of NSE, Demat and internet trading.Still I have a good portfolio of bluechip shares worth many lakhs'
Started swing trading in 2005 and from 2006 to 2008 I was blogging on swing trading.Still you can see the blog at
http://smart-trade-nse.blogspot.in/
Started day trading in 2010.Taking the leave I have accumulated over the years one week in every month. Already day traded more than 100 days. This year also I will continue like that. Waiting for next year February to complete 28 years of Banking Service and to take VRS with full pension.
For me it was a very slow gradual cautious painful progression

Hi Parminder
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blog and thanks for the comment.
The core concept is price acceptance and rejection. Very difficult to explain in few words.
There are certain decision points like PDH, PDL,HOD.DT, LOD etc etc.
BOF,BPB,TST etc are some of the patterns that can occur at these areas
Rest is tactics and execution experience
Go through the glossary to know the short forms.I will be explaining all this in forthcoming posts
