12092014


Nifty opened below PDC and tried to move above PDC. Skipped BOF of PDC as IRL and BRN below it. Went long on the second BOF of BRN. Tp when it bounced from PDC. There was another BOF of BRN which I avoided. Tried a short on BOF of PDC /HOD. Got trapped and stopped out above the swing high. Did not try the BO of HOD as NS BRN and PDH was there as barriers

      Usually I keep 50Ps
      If you expect a lot of stop triggering keep one point minimum

      Sometimes it happens.
      Few days back lost 40 points as my SL did not trigger

      Yes it was a channel down
      I entered on second BOF of BRN on break of swing high
      In a downward channel price breaks above the swing high, channel breaks
      It can end up as a TRAP also if the break of swing high fails.Another reason was that the second push down did not make a new low below BRN

    Hi ST,
    Could you please outline why you didn't take a) the third BOF of IRL and b) the BPB of PDC.
    Thanks.

      I was sitting tight on my earlier long for two hours. I did not felt like going long again
      Further I did not trust that BOF because price did not go below LOD to trap shorts
      After the stop out, I was thinking to go long, but hesitated considering the earlier BOF and two candles with upper tails that showed some selling

    when you decided IRL i mean time it could be 9:36 bar or 10:12 bar so at what time you decide 11:15 bar as previos day low was also far what was thought process in your mind. kindly share

      I went long on the BOF of BRN 8100
      I did not understand its connection with IRL, 9.36 and 10.12 bars

      For me, sometimes inverting the chart gives better perspective http://imagizer.imageshack.com/img901/2674/uoVUng.png

      LOL ST thats sooo funny...actually my mind is somewhat skewed in one direction sometimes, so I have this afl in amibroker that i use to invert the chart and see whats going on, especially when I am unsure of price direction...

      Thanks for the laugh. ..

      I was aware of IRL and was ready to exit if price goes below my entry.
      FTA is where you can expect some opposing order flow. It does not mean price will reverse from there
      Price follows the path of least resistance. My reading after 2nd BOF of BRN was IRL is likely to be broken and not BRN
      Decision points are make or break levels

    Hi ST - still paper trading this week. But will be honest in the emotions running through the day
    1) BOF of DL - 11.23 @ 8107 - Stopped at trailing cost @ 11.35 @ 8107
    2) Agree with you - avoided BOF at 1:15 since NF did not make a new low (so perhaps not confident that there might be enough order flow to support long)
    3) Wasn't watching market closely to simulate emotions for 1:50 BOF short trade
    4) Scratched BOF of PDH and RN - short @ 15:04

    Point 4 valid? And reasoning on point 2 valid?

      Your thought are right.
      Better to avoid trades after 3 PM. there will not be any commitment from traders
