16102014


Nifty gaped down below PDC and went up. Short on BOF of PDC/BRN. Refused to go beyond IRL. Covered at 10 point profit. Price broke down below IRL and made another range between DO and PDL. There was a BOF of PDL. There was no momentum and space to move. So  skipped. Shorted the break below PDL and it was just trailing rest of the day. Price has broken below the major flip in daily chart.

      Trade 1 was OK
      2. CT, No space,
      3.CT, Micro managed, Price never cracked pin bar low
      4.CT, No Space, Price did not break even the second rejection bar low
      Trade went where it was supposed to go, Range high

      Will depend on volatility.
      Now a days daily range is 80-100 points
      There were periods Nifty moved <40 points for weeks

    Hi ST

    Thanks for the chart. Usually how deep of far off do you keep the Limit order entry from a DP if you want that price to get triggered??
    Also I want to thank you for the concept of Fluid. Tata steel moved very well through the fluid today.
    Are you expecting 8200-7800=400, 7800-400=7400 on the Nifty as target??

    Thanks

      Usually I wait for a pattern to form . Like a swing point
      Try to limit the entry within 10 points of DP so that I can hide it behind a DP
      Unless it bounces back tomorrow price may drift down to the next flip around 7500, I feel
      I am almost always wrong in my positional analysys

    1.) I also wanted to short bpb of PDL (your last trade), but due to the fact that nifty was down 80 points from top and NS BRN was below 6-7 points , I hesitated and missed out on such good fall. What was yr thought process for this trade?

    2.) Would you have taken Long in case there was a BOF of PDL at that time ?

    Thanks

      Price breaking PDL is a major transition.Yesterday was an inside day, barring to unsuccessful attempts to create a new high. Making a new low means change from neutral to Decline in Daily. There was a strong BOF at PDL which refused to move beyond range high . This was a pattern failure. Trade was with the trend. Risk was within limits.
      I would have gone long if I get an early entry. Other wise will go for a PP at the other end

      ST,
      I have a lot to learn,but still am happy I did not take your last trade today :) My gut said go for it, but it was not in my trading plan, so did not take it and am happy that I stuck to the plan. Discipline is a big problem for me as you know.

      Just to understand your trade better, would you have taken that last short had it occured mid-day or earlier? What was the reason you did not wait for pull back, also the LOD at that time did not give much space. Please help me understand your thought process. Thanks a lot for the help.

      BOF of PDL/RN was not able to take the price beyond range high
      After the breakdown of DO, price attempted twice to move above and failed
      I was very confident of this trade

      Once you get a momentum move trail it.
      After 7820 price never broke the previous candle high till the end

    Hi ST,

    1) What was the reason you avoid long on BPB of BRN in the morning session at 9.33 AM candle?

    2) I've drawn PDL at 7853.55 price by ignoring tails, due to that i went short at 13.39 PM candle and it is failed. How did you draw your PDL at RN?

    Thank you,
    Kiran.

      I dont find any BPB at 9.33. It was a BOF
      When two prominent levels comes too close, consider it as a zone
      In todays chart BRN and PDC are considered as one zone

    1)7885 was MSP twice consecutively yesterday, After BPB at MSP, can we go long above high of 09:27 candle?
    2)Can we take BOF short below 12:42 candle low as twice ir crossed same MSP above and came below? If this trade is taken where you would have exited ie 13:21 candle high or 13:42 candle high or some other place.

      MSP is relevant only in a trend move. It is not that important during sideways market
      In a trend move crack of MSP will signal a trend reversal and a BOF of MSP will be a TRAP
      I will not short there. I will wait for the price to touch BRN/PDC.

      Hi ST,
      Can I read today's chart as no significant pull back has happened yesterday. Price is in the lower range (below BRN) of yesterday's fall. OR shoudl I read it as price is in higher range between MSP and BRN?

      Price did not crack a DP to the upside to change the view
      http://niftynirvana.blogspot.in/2013/06/trading-plan.html
      My current expectation is a range BRN-PDL and IRL may act as mid point

      Stopped out of a short at BRN. Expected a BW
      But price has moved above this BW. No DP around. So just watching

  10. SMART TraderOctober 17, 2014 at 2:19 PM

    People were short positionally and from morning also.Where you can expect them to keep their stops? at IRH
    There was no explosive move to the upside when this level broke. It was a PP trade level and there was no strong follow up buying

      ST, I took the PP (was CT, so probably was wrong as well), got stopped out below 12.06 bar, then instead of expecting BW I took another trade above 12.09 as BPB, then took the short below 12:42

    2. SMART TraderOctober 17, 2014 at 2:50 PM

      Do not trade a DP repeatedly.
      If you get a stop out think BW or Channel
