12022015

This is an illustrative example of the concepts being discussed.Markings are just visualizations on historical data in hindsight analysis
Nifty opened near PDC and tried to move up. Short on BOF of PDH/BRN. Scratched when price bounced twice from 8660 area. Price broke down again and supported at PDL. Went long above RN as PP as there was a TRAP like pattern before that. TP at BRN as there was strong rejection from BRN. Could not capture the next 70 point up move
We had a nice time last week. We could visit all the places planned except St. Mary's Island at Udupi. Thank you all for the wishes

    1. We only draw intra day channels. Not multiple day ones.
      If you are looking at such channels sell the channel high and buy channel lows
      When a channel low breaks short the retest of it or go long if a BOF happens at channel low

    6. I prefer the word "Bias" to "Trend"
      Bias became negative when price fell below PDC.Last DP crack to the down side

  3. Hi ST,

    Great to see you back in action ! Two things to ask-

    1) After getting out from 1st short, there was a BOF type of RN (considering it range low also). Why didn't you enter in it? I entered & was stopped out.
    2) For the last move, what i have felt at few times- if a BOF fails, its a better move. Although RR wasn't favorable, how could we enter here?
    From last few sessions, market is too volatile & somehow, i end up with big SL. Is it same at your end?

    Thanks,
    Deven Malhotra

      2.A pattern failure is a good signal .
      3.As you said market is too volatile and it is difficult to trade with a 10 point SL. I manage it by entering close to the DP trusting the structure blindly. 10 point was fixed when NF was in 4-5K range and now it is almost double. ATR above 80 makes trading with 10 point SL very difficult

  7. 1. Was there any shorts at 14:21 and 14:51 hammers

    2. In the hindsight do you think there was a way to capture the last 60 points move

    ReplyDelete

    1. 14.51. No
      14.21 was a BOF of BRN. But it was CT trade and always wait for a swing point and enter on break of it
      It is difficult as per the method. No other way but to enter on BO of a swing point which I do not do on an extended move

  8. Dear ST Sir,

    Thanks for the chart,

    After around 100points down from day's open, and touched PDL. entered Long at 12:20 , SL hit at 12:35.
    looks entered the long at wrong place.

    please advice to avoid these traps, or is that have to wait till the price is moving above this swing high (which you have entered the PP) ?

    Thanks,
    Neethi
