05012015


This is an illustrative example of the concepts being discussed.Markings are just visualizations on historical data in hindsight analysis  
Nifty opened within previous day closing range. Broke above PDH. Went long on BPB of PDH. Trade did not move. Scratched. Short on BOF of PDH. Moved well and hit range low. Covered above the pin bar. Long on BOF of Range low. Watching the momentum,thought it will touch PDH. Exited when it fell below RN.Could not capture the down move

    Hi ST
    What would have been the entry point for the last down move? Would it have been a SAR type trade??

    Thanks

      It was a BOF of MSP. It is very difficult to capture this move under this method

    Dear ST.
    Good evening
    Refer your second trade short at BOF below PDH.
    After travelling nearly 20 points above PDH and reversing, Can we consider as Break of failure.
    I was thinking a short there but i didnt consider because of the upmove above PDH from 10.14 to 10.29am.
    Need your advice

      You are looking at it the wrong way. Trade the core concept. Stop hunting for patterns
      The basic and core concept is acceptance and rejection of price at decision points. Buying range lows and selling range highs. Do not bother about the pattern names. These are just thumb rules. Trade the core concept

    I have two questions.
    1) Can you share your thoughts for not going short in the caes of BOF of RL/RN aroubd 13:00
    2) Can we go short again for BOF of RL/RN below 14:09 candle?

      Price was making HH and HL and there was no space to FTA
      You can short the second fail. But if you are holding long it is very difficult psychologically

    Thank you ST. I had a short bias today. Observations at
    http://niftytradediary.wordpress.com/2015/01/06/5-jan-2014/

    I really appreciate how you can view the market objectively. I need to start viewing without any bias. Today helped but may not be the case everyday.

      Hi ST,
      Thanks so much for the chart. 8000 shows as the low in the terminal, guess it was a freak trade cleaned out by icharts.

    Dear ST,

    In the trade which was scratched, how did you decide the exit. I did not exit the trade and waited till the the breakout candle got breached (8470). This did not allow me to take the BOF trade HOPING for a bounce-back reversal

    Can you please detail the exit, or what could be done for better identification of the trade.

      The move was over extended. Rallying for two days. 170 points up
      I was not confident to go long at all. But took the signal. The entry bar stalled at 8480
      The very next bar retraced the entire entry bar and closed below it. This was scary
      Price moved up again and came back. If the trend is strong the BO point 8480 should act as support or it will be back at PDH. So I exited on break of this FLIP. We are entering after a BO and PB. There is no need to allow another pull back
