Nifty opened within previous day range. First candle acted as IR. Long on the break of this tight trading range above NS BRN 6700. TP when price failed to go above 6760 . Another long on the TRAP pattern. A BOF of RN 6750 and MSP. TP at BRN 6800.
Yes. I was willing to TP at PDH. But waited for a pullback as I expected a lot more short covering at the area being week end and holidays. Notice how price behaved when it touched BRN 6700 on 07042014.This move is a powerful BOF of BRN 6700 Always check early behaviour at levels
That level Was actually NS BRN 6700. Today it was a little lower due to the reduction premium I expected a lot of positional shorts to exit above that cigarette and will have enough order flow to break that level.
I do not moderate comments from traders. Just remove spams, that is all. Let the other readers tell whether I have avoided answering or deleted any of their comments anytime
You have identified the trades very well. I was aware of the last TRAP trade and I have drawn a line there.I avoided it as Nifty had moved nearly 100 points above average range. Short covering might be already over and nobody will take fresh positions due to weekend and holiday
i read many times somewhere public forum ...about ..trading plan ..and trading dairy .till yet no seen any ones plan and diary.
YES ..i read your trading plan about 10 points per day in nifty . ..its your trading plan exactly or FINAL . ....OR something more in that ...if you have u that type of trading plan ...and if u have no problem to share with it ..then please share with it ....it will help to write my own plan ... sir my English is poor sorry..ask too much question
A trading plan is a set of guidelines used to identify, execute and manage a trade.My plan is simple 1.Identify Market bias ie trend 2.Identify the current range 3.Identify the DP 4.Decide on entry pattern After I identify the probable patterns, I check Space, Critical mass, Orderflow, Risk and when to exit This process is repeated again and again. After the trading hours I review it and find out what went wrong and what went well
Hallo, It has been observed that Some times you take closing price of the candle as a technical point and some times you take high or low-particularly this about PIN BAR-as technical point If you agree with my observation then can you tell me this is with any reason or its a JUST approach , which doesn't make any difference to your systeam? Example....today opening NF low was 6707.05...it has broken on 10th canlde and new low was made -6704---Had anybody taken closing of first candle as IRL point then 11th candle might have given BOF of IRL or FTC..and there LONG signal generated..but as per your trade you didn't consider it... What is your experienced opinion? I have taken this signal and tried to initiat long..but when I press F1 for order form systeam hanged and I taken long little late and till then it was clear by BO of BRN as well as IRH...
I do not take closing price of the candle as decision point. Usually I ignore tails as they could be just freak trades or overshoots.But for direct Breakout trades tails are considered Today morning theoretically there was a BOF. That is why I have drawn a line there. But I did not consider it as very significant Tails are very tricky. We will never know exactly where the orders are. I revise these levels little bit if markets behave differently on revisit.Please read
Consider levels as zones. You may need to use some discretion.For example today price made many attempts to cross BRN 6800.First 3 attempts did not touch BRN at all.
Where to draw the line? which level to be considered? 6797?
Look at the range high at 6760. Which one is the real level ? Price stalled at three different levels.
As 11.39 candle exceeded the previous pivot high by a point, you can consider RN 6750 as MSP. It is very technical and theoretical. Anyway still it was a BOF of MSP and a trap pattern
I read your reply to Vishal. Regarding "identify Market bias ie trend", how?? Please explain how you identify the bias when market opens and then on ongoing basis.
Is there any other way to look at it other than PDC/PDL/PDH?
1.Aware of the big picture.You will bet your house on it. http://screencast.com/t/gfFVqTh4 2.Where market opens? Above or below PDC? Gap up or down? Trend gap or Counter trend gap? Inside or outside previous day range? Broken out of a consolidation? Jumped over a DP like BRN? Trading above or below opening price? Is it within previous day closing range? Current range above or below previous range? Last DP crack upside or downside? There will be some conflicting signals. Don't expect everything in black and white. There will be shades of Gray always
ST, To put in simple terms and just to start with, cannot we just compare current range with previous day closing range or previous range to conclude whether it is going up or down? like, http://www.mql5.com/en/charts/1755641/nse-nifty-m1-gci-financial-ltd
I am not working on any other book. It is the same book which is available for download.Name changed later. There is a story behind the book. There was a challenge from James Clear (http://jamesclear.com)to write and publish an E-book on any subject within 30 days. I took up the challenge and did it. As far as I know I am the only person who did it
Link provided for SS' blog in your page is no longer working, same with the link on Tradingblisspoint's site. Not sure whether Indian Market Monitor has been discontinued or moved to a new ID.
Hi ST, I am trying to understand the first long trade on break of IR. The IR is within previous day's closing range, daily is in micro down trend, I think I am getting lost somewhere...Could you please help?
Look at the price action as a continuation of the previous day price action. Price was pushed down below BRN 6700. Market opened above BRN. Price got rejected In a way it is a BOF of BRN. Further the 10 th bar proved price is not interested to fall. Risk was also very low. It was a fluid on top.
Dear Yoda
ReplyDeletewhat time frame that one should use 18,9,3 MACD for a day trade!
Same in EOD showing huge - div
Hi ST
ReplyDeleteAfter u took BOF of MSP long, was there any inclination to TP at PDH.

Thanks

Always check early behaviour at levels

hi you not consider MSP of yesterday, above NS BRN 6700 today??
ReplyDeleteSudarshan
ReplyDeleteThat level Was actually NS BRN 6700.
Today it was a little lower due to the reduction premium
I expected a lot of positional shorts to exit above that cigarette and will have enough order flow to break that level.
ST
then why you published the question

Can same result be obtained with a 5 min chart.

ReplyDeleteA trading plan is a set of guidelines used to identify, execute and manage a trade.My plan is simple
1.Identify Market bias ie trend
2.Identify the current range
3.Identify the DP
4.Decide on entry pattern
After I identify the probable patterns, I check
Space, Critical mass, Orderflow, Risk and when to exit
This process is repeated again and again. After the trading hours I review it and find out what went wrong and what went well

Hi ST,
ReplyDeleteI took the first breakout above the previous day swing point which is above NS BRN. Is it valid?

Sir good evening ,kindly update the blue line drawn below RN 6750 & MSP taken is 11.06 3M ?thnx

2.Where market opens?
Above or below PDC?
Gap up or down?
Trend gap or Counter trend gap?
Inside or outside previous day range?
Broken out of a consolidation?
Jumped over a DP like BRN?
Trading above or below opening price?
Is it within previous day closing range?
Current range above or below previous range?
Last DP crack upside or downside?
There will be some conflicting signals. Don't expect everything in black and white. There will be shades of Gray always

Amazing ST, Very day it is pleasure visiting here.

ReplyDeleteYes. pay attention to that.I was referring to this by
"Is it within previous day closing range?"
This is only at the open. after that
"Current range above or below previous range?
Last DP crack upside or downside?"
ST

ReplyDeleteWill try. This is a very narrow subject and I wonder how long one can write about this

HI ST
ReplyDeletewhen can v expect ur new book "How i daytrade nifty futures".
eagerly waiting for it.
Not an issue, ST, I'll post a reply to Anon on Ilango's site ... which is probably where we should have discussed it in the first place.:)
ReplyDeleteDo you know what happened to SS's Indian Market Monitor? Used to have a very good price-action analysis.
