I have written a short post on the importance of location where price action happens. I made this picture for that post.On the left side you can see the chart of 31-08-2012. On the right side you can see the projected 30 Minute price action for the next day as if it is occurring at different places marked A to F. Let me know your bias and thoughts in these situations. I am not going to publish the original post. Your comments are going to serve the purpose.
You need not write an essay. Just one line is sufficient, for example. " A-look to go long on TST of IR Low"
I am expecting good response from your side. Please do not let me down
A: This is BO of PDH. Looking to go long at BPB to PDH.
ReplyDeleteB: This is BOF of PDH. Short immediately with SL 2 points above PDH.
C: Do nothing. Wait till price reaches some DP (or BRN which is not shown here).
D: Looking to go long at PB to PDC.
E: Looking to go long at PB to PDL. If price goes below PDL, treat it as BOF of PDL and short at PB to PDL.
F: Short immediately as BOF of PDL.
One small question: Why you have chosen last 30 min pattern of 31.8.2012 for this?
Dear ST,
ReplyDeleteThanks for this wonderful exercise...
I was wondering how you are initiating trades, when market opens with gap in down trend above PDH and trends strongly w/o giving any signal of BPB.
Honestly a live testing done during last week I found my self in wrong trades on couple of time. Could not take decision when price was trading betn PDL and LOD
on this ecercise ;trying my best
@Pt C will wait for mkt to test PDC and initiate a long trade.
Thanking you once again for this exerciser. This will be test for me to confirm whether the concept of your system is clearly understood or not
Best Regards,
Well I donot day trade. But here is my quick take
ReplyDeleteA: I shall wait to see what happens during the gap fill which has just began. If price holds without filling gap, then long at the test of IR low
B: Perhaps short with stop above HOD
C and D: Wait and watch
E: Wait for bottom formation and to go long
F: Short only if next support is far away.
Well how do you trade these setups?

Missed the BRN - which would have led to reinterpretation - in retrospect it looks simple. 'Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards" Kierkegaard

That was nice quiz dear ST.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Thank you very much for your response.
ReplyDeleteDP trading is very very simple. Consider DP as a border line, say "Wagah"
If price settles in Pak territory, hide your stop in Indian area beyond its reach. If price is in Indian territory, hide your stop in Pakistan land.
ST
Easier said than done. Hiding stops Wagah India Pak.. LOL. If it had been so easy we would have had Universities starting graduation diploma and postgraduation MBAs in DP trading, politicians floating universities and taking capitation fee, parents enrolling kids to become traders etc etc.
ReplyDeleteI score 100 % !!
ReplyDeleteSo my fundamentals are clear. Now I need practice, practice, practice ...
Thanks ST.

ReplyDeleteYes, You have understood the concepts well.
All the best.Do not attempt all the signals . stick to good price action at good locations. survival is the first priority in Markets
ST
ST,
ReplyDeleteYes, I am now trying to enter trade only at extremes with RR ratio 1:2. This has drastically brought down my trades. I am practicing with 1 mini.
Anon
ReplyDeleteYou are right.Easier read than done!!
ST
wow .....its really nice post ,
ReplyDeletei love it . really .
VERY very beautiful way to explain this concept .
i say you are good writer to explain any topic ,its very nice article
thanks ST .
ST,
ReplyDeleteI am curious why D is good? It almost looks like a BOF of a big round number and swing low and BO of PDC. Taking BPB of PDC means our FTA would be the BRN / Swing low that just got rejected? Not enough room there.
Trade C already cleared PDC and Swing low and has good room for PDH and is a better option than D.
Agree?
Thank you,
The post was not made for such detailed analysis.The subject was to highlight the importance of location
DeleteThe purpose was just to show the same price action at different locations need to be treated differently.
Just wanted to show that Price action trading is not pattern trading. Meaning will differ as per the context and location
ST
Got it. Thank you great article and thank you for the followup response.
