18022014


Nifty opened within previous day range. Broke PDH/PDC/BRN.Went long on the BPB of BRN. TP when Nifty started to range. There was a BOF of range low. Skipped it as the range was very narrow. Shorted on the BOF of RN/HOD on break of the highest range low.This trade did not move. Scratched. There was a trap pattern to go long.This trade did not trigger.Missed the last BOF trade.

  1. Hi ST

    Could u please run through the thought process while taking the BOF trade?? I thought the previous range low was just below. Am i wrong in my thinking??

    Thanks

  2. Hi ST,
    For me the TRAP long triggered in the highest bar at 15:06..
    Where were you planned to enter?

    Market was trading in a range 6130-40. Tested 6140 thrice and later broke it. Now this is a strong flip. RN 6150 started resisting. Then I considered as 6140-50 as a new range.
    BOF happened at RN. It was short below MSP. But range low was too close. Price gave a small bounce there and later broke the area. I went short here. But the trade failed.

    A point above the previous high
    6156.
    Avoid trades in the direction of trend after 3oclock especially market is trending from the morning.
    Your trade was at 15.06. From 15.10 onwards most of the brokers will run auto square off of the MIS positions.

  5. Sir,
    Nifty Spot was 6096, when you entered the first BPB trade. Is it not necessary to wait for the BRN Spot to get broken?
    Thanks

    Previous day Nifty was in a tight trading range and morning it was breaking out of the range.Breaking out of previous day range is a major transition.I was aware of the NS BRN.

    Price broke IRH and a very strong level PDH/PDC/BRN confluence very coolly without a pull back
    usually such moves will not end without a second leg move before consolidation. Further risk was very low. If price break fails just exit and try to buy at BRN.

    Level breaks work only on the traded instrument.No body will keep SL or limit orders on spot. The only thing is that we must be well aware of the area and there is a possibility of institutions defending the area.

    1. Hi ST,
      Please can you explain "If price break fails just exit and try to buy at BRN." Would you have kept SL (if you recall, pls) for the first long below the red bar? IF you were stopped out, what would you expect to happen to buy at BRN? Thanks.

    2. It is good to exit below the red bar
      Then a long narrow consolidation can happen above BRN and filnally a TRAP like pattern at BRN. If you keep the stop below BRN this TRAP pattern will stop you out and move up without you.Like something happened at 6130 and 6140 consolidations. A BPB should move immediately as the pull back is already over
      Otherwise it becomes a FTC after which price can consolidate or reverse

  8. Hi ST

    http://tinypic.com/r/1fzjmt/8

    Are my markings of the ranges correct ?

    I dont understand when you say there is a range between 40-50 .

    If the markings are correct , could you please let me know why did you initiate a trade (last short) just above range low .

    If my marking is wrong why did you consider 40 as range low ?

    Please help .

    thanks n rgds

    What you have drawn now is correct.
    But only in hind sight analysis. Your third range established clearly only after the down move where I took a BOF trade.

    Till then what was the assumption?
    I considered it as a range between 6150 HOD and 6140 the high of previous range which broke and supposed to act as support

    Hope it is clear

    Why i am asking this is I shorted the MSP considering 6130 - 6150 a single range

    I was also shorting the break of MSP.
    Generally MSP crack is considered as trend change.Expectation was the break of 6130 low and a quick down move through the fluid

    I joined these forums long back. At that time there were many people who cared and shared.
    Later all these teachers had to leave the forum or keep silent. People were more interested to disprove than absorb the knowledge they shared.
    They suffered a lot of tension, mental agony, and insult for sharing their knowledge.

  15. Volume are drying due to various factor:
    1.) Nifty is range bound 6000+ levels, traders are not confident for either Long/Short.
    2.) General elections
    3.) Last and very important :
    "While Sebi allows brokers to provide margin funding, the customer has to provide an initial margin of 50 per cent"
