08052014



Nifty opened within previous day range. BOF of BRN gave a short signal. TP at PDC/PDL/NS RN 6650.
Missed the sudden up move as there was no reliable signal for a CT trade. Short on BOF of BRN/IRH. Again covered near PDL. Tried a long here. Entry was too early and exit too late. Stopped out below PDL. Rest of the day it was a Barbed wire around NS RN/PDC/PDL

      First one was a nice trade.As you exited early, you could have shorted the BOF of BRN
      It was a Fluid also.Second cant help. BO trades are very low probability ones.Most of them will fail
      Go through the chart. All the BO trapped traders. You can locate minimum 5
      >first bar,IRH,Range High.

    Hi ST,

    U took short at BOF of BRN but IRL is there, so why did u take 6650 as target price?

      You have to think what other traders are doing.
      Bias was bearish. Price was within previous days low area.
      I assumed BOF of BRN will push the price below IRL and trigger the stops there aiding further fall

    I was hoping that the BO at 14:48 candle will at least reach BRN, although I agree that there was not much space. There was a BO of PDL at around 13:00 with SLs above the 12:40 SH which failed. There was some consolidation of a couple of bars just before the 14:48 BO. So I thought I would take a chance for a small 10 points play. I switched to a BOF short when price reentered the range, but it didnt move much after that.

      It is very difficult to trade these ranges.
      That is why it is called a Barbed wire

      First trade was good.Avoid trading BW
      Do not attempt BO trades. Even BOF may bounce back from midpoint and scare you

    Hi ST,
    You ignored tail for the PDL. If we marked PDL with tail than BOF of PDL would be ignored beacuse of less space NS RN in between.

    Thanks

      You are right. Third trade was mediocre with NS Rn and IRL as barrier
      Price never came below the "Real " PDL to trap BO traders
