21012014


Nifty opened just above PDH. The first MC candle acted as IR. Attempted a BO trade on break of IRH. BO failed and scratched the trade. Went short below PDH as BOF . BRN of NS stopped the move. Covered when second push down failed. Another long trade on break of PDH. This breakout also failed. Nifty moved in a 30 point range all the day

    I know I am doing many things wrong .But it would be great , if you have time , go through my thoughts and let me know what are basic things i lack .

    Coming to your trades :-
    Why to you take the 2nf BOF trades since there IRL and PDC below ?
    Same with the last trade IRH and Day high above ...

    PS :- Others can just go through my document and know how a novise thinks :)

  4. Hello,

    First BO-Scratch

    Did you close it immediately after BO halted (during the 1st/2nd red candle) or after break back into IRH or did you let it hit you SL ( below BO candle? )

    Thanks

    They are not TRAP pattern explained by Dave. It happens in a trend.

    In an up trend market makes higher highs and higher lows.When market makes a higher high the previous higher low becomes an MSP. Market tries to break below this low and fails. It is a signal to go with the trend

    You are not fully familiar with the concepts. The method is traded as if Market is in a range all the time.
    Decision points become the range extreme most of the time. We are trading the acceptance and rejection at DPS.Whether the price is moving to another range or not is the question.
    Searching for the patterns at the DPs will not work. Every trade targets either the current range extreme or in anticipation of the current range break.Ranges may overlap and there can be ranges inside ranges.
    It will take some time to click. I think you are not in a hurry as you are working
    I have uploaded today's chart.Notice how price shifted to a higher range from previous days range and broke down again to a new lower range

    I exited below the BO bar
    I expected the small swing high before the BO to act as a Flip

    What is there to differentiate.
    Check 20012014
    Price channeling down LL/LH
    Price tried to break above MSP( Here same as BRN). TRAP signal did not work LOD supported.
    Price move up HH/HL. Tries to break below MSP and fails. Trade works
    ( Here also there is BRN)
    17012014
    Here also TRP worked. MSP same as BRN

  15. yes ST ...
    Not at all in a hurry ...
    But in market going through a hell of systems from 2008 ...
    A wanna be trader ...

    But a salary above average is pulling me down from taking that risk and the support of the family is not there...

    I have traded systems with a slight profit ...
    But I was wondering that I am sitting with trapped positions most of the time and I join the move only after market has moved so much in a direction ....

    Waiting for that trend move ....
    But used to get one in a while and it used to take care of the losses(expenses as you say)...

    But finally seeing your posts something is making sense ...

    At the least i learned to respect market like "Kadalamma" ..

    Lets see how this works...

  16. Sir,
    i took last 2 signals just like you . on 3rd buy signal i entered just above PDH @ 6328 and stopped out. I put my SL just below PDC. Did I put my SL at right position or Should I have put my SL just below BO candle?
    Kindly give your suggestion.
    Thanks,

    I am marking my entries and even exits most of the time with a small line
    In other cases I write it. for example today,s trades
    1.BO trade on break of IRH
    2.Went short below PDH
    3.long trade on break of PDH
    Just a point above or below the level
    Happy to not that you are making money with the method

  18. Sir,
    Today PDC was between PDH and Range Low/LOD. Should we consider PDC as an important DP between 2 DP's while taking position?

  19. Hi ST,

    One question about your BO trade- There was no Fluid above the Range, so shouldn't we waited for BPB rather BO?
    I waited for BO follow up/ BPB. Am I Wrong & was just the lucky one?

  20. Sir,

    I refer to your first trade. I assume that you played it as direct BO. I also thought of entering there in the hope that a lot of buy orders may wait there. Then I remembered your recent comment that we have to be careful about the liquidity, in case of direct BO. Here liquidity sold into all the buy orders.

    You must have thought about it and had reasons to believe that the opposing order flow may not be sufficient to result in a BOF. Please share those reasons with us. It will be immensely useful for newbies, like me.

    Be very selective in trading BO
    Successful breakouts should not fall back into the range. managing the risk is first priority in day trading
    When you are in doubt don't hope just exit
    Suppose you are getting three opportunities today. Commission and slippage will come to 8 points for 3 trades.. First two full stop out. Loss 20 points.Even if you make 28 points on the third one you will go home empty handed

    DPs are not brick walls
    It may or may not break, There is no way to know it earlier.
    Today we are trading a BOF of Range high. naturally there will be order flow from trapped traders.There will be some stops below PDH.
    The question is whether this order flow will be sufficient to break IRL and PDC.If you think so take the trade and exit if you are not right. If your reading is right you will make money.

    You need not over complicate simple things.
    Here market opened above PDH. Tried to go down but could not. Price trading above previous close and day open.The bias was clearly bullish
    Twice attempted to break above IRH. So we can expect some stops there.
    We take a chance and if it is not working exit the trade. that is all

  24. Sir, Thanks for sharing your thought process.I have to develop the habit of focusing on the available information rather than unknown factors.

    PDH was twice tested and there I expected some stops. I expected it to move upto HOD. Market proved me wrong

  30. Good Evening ST,
    Which price do you consider for PDC? LTP or Closing price.
    Are you not considering shadows while considering PDH as PDH of yesterday is 6332 NF?

    Thanks
