This is an illustrative example of the concepts being discussed.Markings are just visualizations on historical data in hindsight analysis
Market gaped down below PDL and moved down. Stalled at BRN. Later made a BW range around PDL for a long time. Attempted a PP trade . Entry did not trigger. No trades today.

      I thought of going long there but did not act
      It was a good trade.

      Hi ST,

      Happy New Year to you and yours.

      If we went long there, we dont have much space, PDC and HOD at that time were less than 10 points away. Was there some other compelling reason that could overwhelm the barrier of PDC and HOD? Thank you

      No guarantee at all. FTA and logical target was PDC
      That big bar was just stop triggering and not genuine buying. there was no follow up at all
      Once price settles above PDL, last DP crack is to the upside and bias turns positive and we look to go long
      During live market it never was a great trade. But it moved well

    Rajesh,

    On this new year, let me wish you achieve your dreams and realize yourself !

    I feel empty when you do not post your daily analysis.

    A humble request, post your daily analysis whenever possible, it helps me a lot as I find out my thinking errors.

    You are helping me in so many ways that I cannot all pen it down, in short you helping me to manage myself.

    Went long @8310 on the second bounce from 8301 and sold @8350.

    My trades are based on qualitative and quantitative analysis where qualitative is first followed quantitative and it helps!

    Rajesh,
    My heartfelt prayers, wishes for you !

    With kind regards,

      Thanks.
      8300 was also NS RN 8250 that time. I had a buy order at 8300
      Market reversed just before it. I did not chase

      Trade4living,

      What was the reason to take trade at 8310.? we didnt have brkout failure of BRN. also we had much bearishness in morning we gapped down and sold off in first two bar.

      Secondly why not exit below 11.42 or 13.57?

      Kindly explain what is qualitative and quantitative analysis. how to spot trades with it and how to trail them?

      Thanks and Regards

      Bharat

      Bharat,

      Rajesh explains and uses Quantitative analysis for trades with the help of Decision Point, Order Flow ....etc.

      Please note Quantitative analysis beats hands down Qualitative analysis in all respects before reading further !

      I use Quantitative analysis for marking levels, analyse first by Quantitative analysis and then wait for confirmation from Qualitative analysis.
      I use Dinapoli MACD (8.3896,17.5185,9.0503),DiNapoli Stochastics(8,3,3) and Bollinger Bands (15,2).
      It is extremely tricky to use indicator signals in conjunction with quantitative analysis i.e. when to act or ignore them.
      I do not have the skill set to explain the rules when to act or ignore them.

      Rajesh is EXCELLENT !!!
      He explains extremely complicated, difficult to understand concepts in extremely simple and easy to understand language !

      I went long on second bounce and confirmation was there from indicators !

      I waited patiently for the following;
      - Market was trading in 5 point range from 10:12 for 60 minutes, which means there might be breakout in either direction as my per my experience
      - Nifty future premium positive movement was more compared to nifty spot movement

      I did not trail my stop loss for the above reasons.

      My stop loss was just break even about my buy order till it crossed PDC for the first time and then moved it up just below PDL.

      My trailing stop differs each day depending on the market conditions as I learnt hard way of losing big movement.

      I prefer to break even than lose big movements as it helps in the long run.

      Hope this helps !
      With Kind Regards,

    hi ST
    sir u say to avoid the tails while considering the pdl and pdh but if we avoid the tails the low and high levels will be changed for diff time frames,i.e it is diff for 3 min and diff for 5 min and 10 min ..........as today if we consider the actual low as pdl it has given a good opportunity to go long also noticed this thing in past.

      Tails are always very tricky. For example take 29122014
      If you consider the tail of second bar while drawing IR, there was no BOF at all
      You can always adjust the level on second test of the area if required.

      And I think it also comes with more experience since basically rather than drawing a line one is trying to find out if price is getting accepted or rejected in that zone (and not on that line)

      Dry day today :) ; observations at -

      ST - why do you mark the pressure play where you did. Is it just because to fast furious up move? Before the upmove actually happened in live market was there to identify pressure play developing there?

      Manas brings up an interesting point. If you do not disregard the tails then you will not be looking at the true HOD and LOD levels across different time frames. Therefore (thinking aloud) wouldn't it be make more sense to draw DPs at bar high/low rather than bar close?

      Market traded 8320-30 range for 3 hours. I expected a lot of stops above PDC. It was like a BPB of that range high
      Then there was a fluid till PDH. So decided to take a chance. risk was also very low with 6 points
