Nifty gaped up above PDH and moved up. IR formed. Did not attempt FTC as RN was just below the tight range. Further bias was very bullish and wanted a signal to go long. Long on BO of IRH. . Covered on BOF of BRN. It was a tight trading range around BRN rest of the day

      First one is OK. Managed well
      Second one what you considered as BO is just a spike above BRN and not a convincing BO
      Further you were attempting to buy after a lot of buying has taken place. Dont enter into an over extended move
      Third trade was bad luck .Sometimes it happens

      when I started DP trading , I traded all the signals daily bof, bpb,tst,ftc all the signals. Then I stopped trading and just paper traded(not written on paper, but watched for two month .) after that I noticed that bof are of high probability. Till yday I traded bof only. Today tried bpb. I think need to watch one more month for bpb. Avoiding direct BO altogether.

      BOF and BPB make most of the money
      Avoid BPB after over extended moves

    Hi ST

    Could we have expected that the FTC would have also filled the morning gap??

    Thanks

      Anything can happen in the market and anything can be expected
      I expected an up move
      It was an outside day, a major transition.
      A CT outside gap day
      BOF of a prominent low made earlier
      I had written about it yesterday itself.

    Hi ST,

    Your PP trade was v good & inline with the trend.
    1. Trap @ 7960 was the reason for you to take PP trade OR any other reason?
    2. If there were no trap, would you still take the PP?

    Regards
    Naveen

      May not. Trap gave the confidence
      Before trap my expectation was another move down,a BOF at DO and an explosive up move
      I will wait for a BPB and may miss the move, I think

    Hi ST,

    Why didn't you enter BOF of RN? What was your thought process on that?

    I assume TRAP pattern can be considered when the price breaks MSP(previous low 7940) and forms BOF of MSP and rides with current trend. How is it considered as TRAP in our case today, Pls elaborate.

    Thank you,
    Kiran.

      I dont use signals at RN and NS levels for entry.They are monitored to manage trades.
      It is not a TRAP by definition.The trade was not a TRAP trade at all. it was a PP, a direct BO.This particular event was used in decision making. That is all
      Price traded just above 7960 for thirty minutes and tried to fall.Got rejected immediately.It showed price was in no mood to fall. So tried a long on break, hoping for a lot of stop triggering. The trade was a trend trade

      All the patterns like TST, BOF, BPB, FTC etc means the same thing. The price is not interested to go in a particular direction. So we expect the price to go the other way

    Dear ST May I ask why are still trading with a single lot, why havn't you progressed to multiple lots despite trading profitably since a long time.

      I am now trading with 2 lots. Not all signals but selected ones.
      Especially BOF and with the trend trades. Still not comfortable with partial exits
      Still in All in- All out mode

      I was long and exited on BOF of BRN.After my exit price made a swing low
      I kept a sell order below this point for a long time. It did not trigger

      Thank you ST. Was there BOF long at BRN? I just could not bring myself to take that long after this huge gap down and trading below PDL. Please correct my thinking.

      The down move may act as a range.
      CT long is risky unless price make it clear that it is not interested to fall
      A trap like pattern is most welcome
