09122013

Nifty gaped up 150 points well above PDH . I was looking for a FTC short. Market did not give an opportunity. There was a BOF of BRN. Skipped it as the initial move was very strong on the sell side. Went long on the BOF of IR. Later scratched the trade. BRN in between was resisting the up move.

  2. To be frank the great lesson I learned after being here is to be "silent" as if I attained "NIRVANA" state by NOT doing anything when the time, signals are not right and when I don't have clarity.

    NOT DONE ANYTHING TODAY AND FEELING CONTENT.

    Thanks you ST.

    I was not very comfortable taking this trade.Still took a chance because
    1.Bias was bullish and selling exhausted
    2.IRL was holding on second test.
    3.After BO. The second push down failed to extend beyond the extreme
    4.BRN already broken.Down, Up and again down.
    5.Expected a move till the range high

    Most of the losses occur when we become impatient and enter a mediocre trade.

    I do not have month wise data
    Markets are cyclical and this phase will also pass

    Interestingly dec average return is good but the standard deviation is low from all the months. may be due to FII book closures in Dec.

    please check

  8. Dear ST,

    I went short below IRL on 10:48 bar, later scratched the trade. You have not taken this trade, was this technically wrong trade? BOF of the BRN failed, so I was thinking it to move to other side, that is why I took this trade with more conviction, hoping it to close the gap. But I guess chances of NaMo coming to power has been taken by market too hoopefully.

  9. Sir, Why didn't you trade the BO of IRL, at the begining of the day?

    I took that trade and exited with 11 points. Probably I am not aware of the risk in this trade. Can you please explain?

    Which BO you are referring to ?
    IR was very wide 6386-6465

  11. Sir,

    I thought that the very first big candle covered the range of Initial Range and shorted at the low of the second candle of the day. My understanding of Initial Range is wrong, it seems.

    BO are always low probability trades, especially counter trend ones.Better to wait for a BPB.
    Today I suspected a barbed wire around BRN.
    I trade IR breakouts, but prefer an immediate breakout after a pullback

  13. Hi ST,
    What was the reason for skipping the short around 10:21 when the pull back to low of opening bar/IRH failed to continue?

      It was a gap up of 120 points above the highest high
      High was around 6380, I think. I expected it to give support and it did
      Dont expect me to remember something happened months ago
