04072014



Nifty opened within previous day range . IR formed. Short on BPB of PDC/IRL on break of PDL. I thought it will run through the fluid below BRN. TP at BRN. Long on BOF of BRN which was a minor PP. As expected met the target PDL, which was also a powerful Flip. Long on BPB of PDL. Then it was just trailing through RN , HOD and PDH. Covered at 7780.

  2. ST,

    Took BOF of PDC/IRL at the beginning of the day, scratched it at the IRH, it was not moving above it...Missed the BPB of PDL, even before I could think something it just slipped away :( ... Luckily BOF of BRN gave a good run till PDL closed it there.. and again missed the BPB of PDL..

    When I look back, I have missed all the big trades.. anyways this is just my second trade using DP method...got lot to learn this weekend...

    1. Market was within the previous day range 7730-60
      If you take a signal inside the range, there will not be space for the trade to move.
      Either you stand out or trade the range extremes.
      If you trade the patterns in isolation the method wont work.There are other concepts like Space, Critical Mass, Order Flow, Ranges, etc. It may take a while to get the thought process right

    2. ST,

      Thanks, noted it down... I think only when we attempt such trades the procedural memory is gaining the strength.. :) Trade the extreme is the learning point from today's trade.

  3. Hi ST
    With US markets closed, was expecting such a move towards the end.

    Thanks

  4. Hi ST,

    I took both the trades, BO of PDL at 7225 and covered at 7708. Then went long on 7712 but my SL at 7728 got hit when the market started moving sideways in 7730 level. I was expecting BOF of PDL again to short. Once market moved up to 7740+ region, I did not want to go long as market was already very high from the low. Made profits but still very less of what market offered.

    1. Your second trade was into PDL and a very strong FLIP. If you feel it will hold, then just exit and look for a new entry
      Then market had not moved very long. The entire fall got negated that is all. Most of the positional shorts were created on the break below PDL and you can expect covering above it being weekend

    2. hi
      last move up is a VWAP strategy right? ATP was around 7730

      Delete
    3. It could be. I was not looking at VWAP

    4. Hi ST,

      Actually I thought that the positional shorts were covered when NF touched 7736 and started going in consolidation. Moreover I wanted to avoid the PP trade at 7736. This thought was wrong because coming from positional background, SL for positional shorts must have been at 7750 or DH or 7760 or 7780 (depending on risk level). and so there was a space from 7736. All these positional SL got triggered. Your comments pls.

      The areas was supposed to be a very strong resistance
      I was also expecting a BOF. It took 45 minutes of fight for the bulls to win
      I just joined with the winners. I had orders at both ends

    6. Hi ST,
      If the short had triggered and failed, would you still take the order at the other end?

      Delete
    7. That is the right thing to do
      But many times I hesitate and remain undecided

  5. Hi,

    What is the last trade entry price?

    1. 7740. Just above the area from where the fall happened

      ST

    2. Hi ST, why did you keep the order at 7740 and not at 7736 ( i guess that was the consolidation high). Moreover, I was actually thinking that the market will make a fake breakout to collect the stops at 7740 and will breakdown, but that did not happen....

  6. >> I did not want to go long as market was already very high from the low.

    I too have this problem. When I see the market makes good moves I sidestep from entering only to see the leaps and bounds movement from the market. This is a psychological problem imho. I missed many rallies because of this behaviour of mine. May be the mind just don't want to end up as a looser when the market gives substantial gains in a day.

  7. HI ST,

    What was your thought process at PBP of PDL? I went short around 1:50 PM on BOF of PDL and i thought, since it is friday positional traders sell their long positions here.

    1. I was already long.
      I exited at PDL and prepared for a short trade
      Waited for a pull back and placed an order below this
      When it refused to fall I placed another order above the consolidation.
      Finally market triggered my long order

    2. Did you put your sell trigger at 7722 (consolidation low as BPB of PDL) or at 7719 to give 3-4 points leeway for fake move?

    3. Enter on break. You are trading a BOF
      Not a direct BO

  9. Sir

    First three days of the month did not give us anything even if the trades were right. Market just refused to reward us. But today made it for all four days.

    Thank you for this wonderful system...

  10. In your last trade, my thought process was "there were three dp's viz RN, HOD and PDH, the space between entry and RN was not giving good risk reward, and the shorts built up below LOD , would have been taken out in reversal in fluid zone or at most Triggering with StopLoss at BRN" i would like to know what was wrong in my thought process, and what i need to do for overcoming the same.
    Thanks, as always for guidance.

      Pay attention to the big picture. Market is in a bull orbit . scaling new peaks day by day
      Price tried to go below PDL and got rejected after closing the 02072014 gap.
      Look at day chart. The flip is holding and price gets rejected.Finally what is your risk on this BO trade.Hardly 5 points with a stop below PDL. It may reverse from RN. So what? keep the SL below BO bar.Market gave an opportunity to enter into a trend move with a risk of 5 points maximum. Shouldn't we grab it?

    2. Hi ST,
      Were you looking to short below 1:39 pm or 1:54 pm? Is there a reason you would have ignored round number 20. Yesterday, network issues kept me out of the short and the initial long, got on the bus above the congestion.

      Delete
    3. It wont make any difference
      you can short below 1.39, 1.54 and even at 7719
      Price was undecided and was making a Micro barbed wire around PDL
      If it is moving up go long and falling down go short as simple as that
      The more confirmation you need the more will be your risk
