25072014



Nifty opened below PDC. IR formed. Short below IRL when three attempts of nifty to move up failed. TP On the BOF of BRN. Shorted again when two attempts to go above BRN failed.Price refused to move down. Suspected a BW and exited. For a while it was a channel move. Failed to capture the down move. Avoided short below PDL because of RN which gave strong support day before yesterday. Long on BOF of PDL. TP at the congestion area.. No other trades

    ST Sir,

    Missed down move today, as i avoided BPB short at IRL & took BPB short at BRN.. which stopped out. Stayed away for rest of the day, as i am not comfortable. Seems i am getting into “1st Trade Failure Syndrome”!

    Should get rid of this ASAP :)

      I think it happens to all the trades
      If we miss a good trade ,we will jump at the next mediocre one
      If the first one fails, we hesitate and miss the second good one

      Yes Sir!

      May be it is too early to do any analysis on my DP trading performance, but i see interesting pattern!
      80% of my Gains, came through 20% of Total trades... 80% of my GREEN days started with Successful 1st Trade.

      80-20 rule works everywhere.
      You need to study your 80% mediocre trades
      Are they CT, BO, etc. Eliminate or reduce such trades
      Start doing more of what works for you.

    Hi ST
    Missed the initial move as arrived late for trading.
    Took 7790 as range low today and traded the down move.
    I also took BOF PDL long. TP at range low. Also the range low 7790 was VWAP(ATP). Just checked it randomly. It coincided with range low today.

    Thanks
    TBP

      Good trades
      I considered the consolidation as a channel and missed the break down

    Sir,
    Today I got left ,right from the channel move.
    First and second trade was same as yours.
    I took two trades in the channel.
    By the time the picture was clear, I had already finished my daily kota of trades.

    Thanks.
    Arvind.

      When you get stopped out of a trade at a DP,suspect a channel or a BW
      I stay away till I get the picture right. Sometimes you may miss a move as happened to me today
      Let it go. Do not trade the same DP repeatedly

    Rajesh,

    I did not quit when the nifty was hovering between 7785 and 7805 because I thought the nifty would still go down further and booked profit at 7760 as I had kept stop loss at 7810.

    My question is that how much point should one should be prepared to sacrifice for larger profit ?

    With kind regards

      There is no right answer for your question. No body knows what the market is going to do next
      You make a decision analyzing the situation and accept the responsibility of the trade outcome.

    Hi ST,
    Today price pulled back from 22 July Flip. Should we look that far back or just go with today's price action?

      What happened to price at the earlier visit at the level is always important
      Usually day traders keep 5-10 days data on their charts. If the retest is within that period, the level will have some influence
