01122014

This is an illustrative example of the concepts being discussed.Markings are just visualizations on historical data in hindsight analysis
Market was too choppy and did not respect any levels well. Got stopped out in all the three trades. First one was a BO of IRL into a fluid. Stopped out. Later attempted a long and short . both the trades immediately failed

      Cant call it PP. Still the level attracted many traps

    I too got caught in the TRAP, but managed to reverse the trade at the break below the green candle. Carried the trade till BRN. But by that time I was chopped so much that my net returns (incl costs) was negative for the day.

      It was chop. Looks like a wide down channel after the morning spike

    Hi ST

    The TRAP trade moved well. What was the thought process in getting out of the trade??
    And was space a consideration for not attempting BOF IRL??

    Thanks

      I lowered the stop too soon above the flip and got stopped out
      I was little hesitant to trade into IRH which rejected twice

    Why you did not consider BOF of RN 8650? Can you explain your thought process

      We are not considering RN as a DP till now
      XX50 option strikes are slowly becoming important as BRN

    Hi ST,
    Thanks for the chart. Did you think of going long at any point after 2 pm? I had a long order above 2:37 and 2:57, luckily both did not trigger, I thought there may be some short cover. I took a long trade above 10.06, but I guess it was wrong because of lack of space. I took a long above 1.09 as bof of LOD and got stopped out. I missed your last short because I thought since price was moving down since morning and BRN too close it was better to not go for short. Please correct my errors.

      Market will give very subtle clues about what it is going to do.The problem is we are focusing more on patterns
      Morning up move above IRH was just stop triggering. Price did not extend beyond the BO bar. Then all the long signals were not able to move price above it. Price was making lower highs. 8650-40-30. One could have gone short on TRAP at 8630. There was no need to wait for the low to break

      There was a 70 point fluid below it. Created by the gap up and spike of yesterday.
      So took a chance.
