Nifty gaped above PDH. IR formed. Short on BOF of IRH. Expected a bounce from PDH/BRN. But my trailing stop did not trigger. TP near 6190. Hesitated to enter on break of range high Pressure Play. Long on the BO of BRN. Exited at 10 point profit.
Your blog is really good. Have been following since last two months. I am doing option trading based on the decision points. Things are working out. Thanks a ton ....!!!
How do you define stop-loss once your entry is executed, like immediately put the stoploss at bar high/low or wait for sometimes to know the direction of the move.
Hi ST, I think usually when we take IR based entries, we take short at IRL or long at IRH, in this case you took entry short near IRH, what was the reason you were confident taking entry short at the upper end of range?
Previous day was a type 1 trend day. The BOF was a FTC type entry looking for a consolidation or reversal.FTC can be a TST or a BOF or even a Failure to test the new extreme http://niftynirvana.blogspot.in/2014/02/failure-to-continue.html IR is like any other range. You can fade the extremes and try BO. and go for BPB depends on other factors http://niftynirvana.blogspot.in/2012/07/initial-range.html
IR is made by the first three bars. After open price tried to move up and got rejected at 6220. Then it fell and found support at 6210.Next 40 minutes market traded within this range Tails will create some confusion, here bar no 14,15 and 16 proved the upper boundary as 6220 level
Have you tried applying this concept on any instrument other than NF?
What is your opinion,should a trader concentrate on trading a single instrument or should have lets say 3 or 4 instrument that need to be viewed on a daily basis? Will just trading NF alone work out in the long run?
Every contract has its own personality and behave differently. So IMHO it is better to stick to a single contract. Money you make is a function of your position size. In NF you can very well scale up to 20 lots without any problem once you achieve consistency.
Hi ST,
ReplyDeleteAfter prices broke IRL, was it prudent to wait for a small PB to IRL and then short as BPB IRL??
Thanks

Sir,
ReplyDeleteDid you take your 2nd Direct BO trade because it broke out of previous day's range or for any specific reason?
Thanks.

ReplyDeleteMY entry was not on BO of IRL, but the BOF of IRH.Waiting for more confirmation means more risk and less reward.

ReplyDeletePrice moving beyond previous day range is always a major transition.
I expected it to test the HOD

ReplyDeleteMy preferred trade is always the BOF
I rarely take direct breakouts.Actual decision may depend on other factors
