Nfty opened within previous day range. IR formed within the first MC. Long above IRH/RN/PDC. Expected a move to PDH. But NS RN resisted . Scratched the trade. Nifty made a Barbed wire around PDC/RN/IRH. Went long above HOD. I expected some stops above HOD which can take the price above PDH. But Nifty suddenly reversed and stopped me out.My sell order was the last one got executed ,it seems. Hesitated for a while to go long. I could enter the move only when it paused at 7609 with SL below BRN. TP at RN 7650.
If you happened to short the BOF of HOD, never keep your SL above PDH especially limit orders. That is at the second level of LOL.Exit above the breakdown bar. Price may jump your stop and you will be in heavy loss within no time

DeleteNifty trapped both day traders and positional shorts
ST
Except for the late afternoon move, whole day nifty was making a grinding move. Missed the afternoon move as I was out. The move looked like as it was to trap the traders.
ReplyDeleteHi Sir,
ReplyDeleteI am taking correct trades. but after seeing small profits like 5 to 10 nifty points...closing the trades. Pls suggest me sir.
Thanks,

Delete80% of the profit will come from 20% of your trades
If you cut short big moves ,you wont be in profit
I will try to address this problem in a separate post
ST
Thank you very much sir!
DeleteST, I have been trading USDINR since the past few days using DPs. I shifted to USDINR primarily because I am better able to manage my positions as per my acceptable max loss per trade. I am now more confident in executing trades as and when they present themselves. I am trying to maintain a blog at http://patrader101.blogspot.in . Request you and other visitors to your blog to visit and provide feedback. Thanks !!
ReplyDeletePA Trader
DeleteNice blog. Be consistent with your blogging like your trading.
Please do make a small post about the currency contracts, lot size, Risk you are taking on a trade etc. Many people like me are not aware of it. How well DPs are working on it?Earlier people could trade Mininifty with little risk. As you mentioned NF is too difficult for a novice to trade. I will link to that post. I think many of the readers might be interested
ST
Very nice blog PA Trader...!!!! Have bookmarked it already. Hope you would continue to publish the charts daily. It will be a good learning for me.
DeleteThanks ST and Sathish. I will try to be disciplined. This is the fourth time I have started a blog. Other three were non-trading related. None of them made past three or four posts.

Hi ST,
ReplyDeleteWhee was the correct entry for the last long? I hesitated to enter above body high PDH and entered above **77.85 PDH. The entry was on the running bar, so I think my entry was wrong.
I did not understand what you meant by running bar
DeleteAlways trade BO with SL Limit order. Feed the order in advance
If you are trading the BO of PDH keep your order 2-3 points above it
ST
Hi ST,
DeleteThank you. By running bar I meant BO without waiting for pull back,. I think today also we had pattern 9 situation. I also took that PP trade and got stopped out. I had messed up in morning's sideways so dived in on breakout of PDH without waiting for pull back because of pattern 9 . Was it correct to enter above wick of PDH (7577.95 + filter) or should I have entered at PDH at body high ( 7574 + filter) ?
Dont worry. Markets are for ever.
ReplyDeleteI thought you might have landed in UK or US

nope ST .. fight is on :)

Thank u..

Hello Sentu...
DeleteTrading is NOT gambling for sure.
But please make sure you have other plans too, just in case trading never worked for you...
or it may take 4 to 5 years of very *hard work* to become a mature profitable trader in my opinion.
okay back to your question:
both gambling and trading involves betting. To differentiate gambling from betting...
ask this question: can you control the losses i.e risk ?
If the answer is NO then its gambling... you throw a bet roll your dice and nothing you can do to improve the situation.
If you can control the risk, through reducing the position size on losing and increase the position size on winning...
or cutting your losses small and letting your profits run bigger... then you are controlling the risk.
If you can spot an opportunity where rewards are better than risk... then you are managing the risk.
Understanding and managing risk is precisely what you do in trading, its not gambling.
For instance insurance companies exactly do this... they manage the risk of its policy holders and risk to the company...
and at the end they make profit... so does LIC company doing gambling? NOPE
What does a business man do ? he finds an opportunity where he can make loss but if it works out he will be making lots of money. usually business men... fail in first 2 or 3 business before they find their jackpot business...
This is also a type of risk management and we call entrepreneurship.
In trading you do exactly similar things, find trading opportunities with bigger potential for profit with better risk to reward setups... how is this different than business men who are run the country ?
Risk is every where and inevitable... you have chosen a profession where you get paid for managing risk and finding profitable opportunities.
So you are not gambling or doing something immoral... infact you are doing a service to all idiots who don't know anything about risk management... so don't feel bad.
but final caution: risk management is NOT easy, its multidisciplinary study i.e you should know statistics, psychology, have emotional maturity etc etc... so its not for all.
Is trading gambling? Is setting up a kirana shop, a restaurant, a factory gambling? A factory owner making 2000 shirts is gambling when he does not know how many customers are there in its targeted market area. Its not the factory which is gambling, its the factory owner who is gambling. I hope you got the message.
DeleteBut yes,as far as market value goes, trading IS NOT regarded as a profession or as a career and you will have to learn to live with these questions. People still ask poets...good that you write poems, but what do you do for a living? Its not going to end.
I really wonder what is not trading.
DeleteEvery profession/business in this universe is nothing but trading.
People trade materials,skill or talent. Some people sell their own skill and draw salary
Some others buy low from them and sell it higher. Those who use leverage earns more surplus and get rich.
Every business whether it is retailing, manufacturing or service makes money by buying low and selling high

Hi ST Sir,
ReplyDeletePrice yesterday and today till breakout price roams around congestion part
and As you said yesterday price brokeout into the fluid. My clarification is
If price roams around congestion part for long time shall we expect breakout
in future?
Thanks
Arunkumar

DeletePrice cannot stay within the range for long.
It will break out. The question is when? In which direction?
ST
Sir good evening ,sir 12.27 pm low can be taken as double bottom ,kindly update thnx
ReplyDeleteYes. It is a double bottom
DeleteBut difficult to long with many trouble areas ahead
ST
Hi ST,
ReplyDeleteToday after yesterday's big move, what should we be looking for? IR B/O on both sides look dangerous. Wait for a couple of hours?
PDH and NS RN on top. Even Bank Nifty at BRN 15400
DeleteExpect a consolidation after a big move
Fluid below is mouth watering
ST
ST
Deleteyea, it is really mouth watering. Fluid above also,7715 is weekly/all time high. but may that would be greed trade? 2nd bar low is right at that 2:26 bar of yday. Could we consider that a MSP ?
ST,
DeleteHave you found out what is the percentage of times taking NS RN into consideration helps vs hurts?
I dont trade such % probabilities
Delete7715 comes after 7675 from where the fall started
Yesterdays up move was through that fluid
ST
Thank you ST.
DeleteHi ST,
DeleteCould you please check if these range markings are correct. Thank you
Where is the link?
DeleteHi ST,
DeleteSorry I missed posting the link http://i.imgur.com/9vh0vdn.png
Yes they are probable ranges
DeleteST
Waiting for any of below trade to trigger....
ReplyDeleteShort at 7639, after BOF of HOD with initial SL 7651
Or
Look for long entry above BRN, after BOF of LOD,IRL
Or
Long at 7674, above HOD with initial SL 7662
What if price makes a Barbed wire between HOD and IRL with DO,PDH,IRH,PDC,RN ,NS RN etc in between?
ReplyDeleteST sir,
ReplyDeleteExpecting at least 10 points move above HOD as NF consolidating in this zone, if not will sctach the trade
Below LOD, fluid is there, if not worked.. scratch again
Trading extremes only, as barbed wire is forming and many DP's in congestion zone
Fluid below LOD,IRL worked... :)
ReplyDeleteShorted at 7639, after BOF of HOD with initial SL 7651
Moved SL to 7645, above high of LOD BO bar
Moved SL to 7616, above high of BRN BO bar
I jumped in below 12:24 and got out at 7566....there was no exit there, but got out anyway. glad to have caught at least a part of the move.
ReplyDeleteNice trade.
DeleteThat is the power of fluid
ST
Thank you ST. Its purely because of your coaching.
DeleteI wanted to go short below IRL hesitated for a moment and missed the move. How to overcome this ST? I knew that there was a lot of space down below atleast 40 points. But did not take the trade. Morning I took long trade without hesitation and scratched. Why I hesitated? I had even entered the order (SL Limit order) but did not place the order. Failure to execute the plan leading to frustration. Please advise.
ReplyDeleteSathish
DeleteIt will take time. Time is an important factor in skill development.
There are no short cuts. This is applicable to any method. But people wont stick.
They will flirt to some other method. trading consistency will remain elusive for them
ST
Next time I will ensure I stick to the plan.
ReplyDeleteActually I wanted to short @ rejection of PDC @ 7658; as it was rejected twice @ 12.09 PM and thought the moment the price pushes down it would trigger the stop below the IRL 7640. Mentally I was ready to scratch the trade if the price bounced back from 7650 without breaking the IRL. I thought it was a low risk entry; but did not enter the trade.
ReplyDeleteST I did not hesitate to take short @ 7594 @ 3.05 PM and just trailing my stop loss.
ReplyDeleteVery good.
DeleteI missed it. I was a little careless
