Nifty gaped down below PDL. Fist candle was an MC and acted as IR. Did not trade the BPB of IRH as PDC was very close. Went short on BOF of PDC/Range High/HOD. TP around 6210.Missed the next move down. I was looking for a long above MSP.
Sir, I am not an experienced trader. I am going through your blog and your strategy. It is an entirely different kind of approach, which seems to be highly effective.
I have a doubt. Today, you did not enter short at FTC,(near PDC) which was noticed before the eventual BOF.Can you please explain, when we have to enter at FTC and when we have to ignore FTC and wait for BOF or BPB.
Under 'Critical Mass', you are emphasising on the importance to know how day traders are positioned We have to use VWAP for finding this? Is there any other way for this?
Should we consider VWAP even before the very first trade after the Market opens?
You need not take profit at the next DP always. DPs are not brick walls. Monitor price action there and take an appropriate decision Once IRL broke I waited for the pull back with a stop above MC. Next push down failed to go below the earlier swing low. So covered.
KS There is no relation between critical mass and VWAP. Leave alone VWAP it is not that important.I do not monitor VWAP unless a momentum move happens near the close.
Most of the traders enter on breakouts.Suppose market is trending down. People enter on BO of swing lows. If market cracks a few swing lows, we can safely assume critical mass short
Thank you Sir. Regarding space - What is the minimum distance between entry and FTA? 20 points? This is my last question for the day. Please reply, when time permits.
KS No such rules It all depends on YOUR OWN ASSESSMENT about the strength of price move and strength of FTA. If you think price momentum is enough to break the FTA you can enter even the FTA is very near This is not a rule based method but a concept based one. It is very very discretionary
TBS Shadows are very tricky . We will never know exactly where the orders are. If you are trading breakouts,consider shadows. Sometimes you can revise it on the next test. For example 10.30 bar with long upper shadow. Next two tests revealed that shadow was just an overshoot. hence drawn range high ignoring shadow.
Hi ST,
ReplyDeleteFound it to be a boring day untill the BOF of PDC. I too took that trade which was my only trade.
Wonder what's cooking in Delhi...
Thanks,

Dear ST,
ReplyDeleteFor BOF entry, how you spotted TP as 6210 as first support will be IR Low which is around 6220.

Hi ST,
ReplyDeleteFor initial range markup, do we have to consider the candles which have long shadows?? Are they not price rejections??
Thanks,
