This is an illustrative example of the concepts being discussed.Markings are just visualizations on historical data in hindsight analysis 
Could not watch the morning session. Tried a PP long trade which failed and stopped out. Hesitated and missed the last down move.

      I thought there will be enough SL orders above early swing high so that it may go to HOD

      Avoid high volatility periods when you are day trading
      WPI data wont make market very volatile I think

      Hi ST,
      How do you define high volatility periods? Europe opening, etc. or something else? Thanks

      I referred to the announcements and expiry in particular.
      Market will turn volatile near budget, major announcements. If you see alternate up and down wide range bars be cautious

    Hi ST,
    PDH on my chart is at 8868.9 and the 2.54 pivot low at 8872 Where would the entry be for the last short?

      Enter below pivot low to ride SL orders.
      Usually SL orders will take price beyond PDH as difference is only 3 points

    Hi ST,
    If there was no PDH in the middle there, would you consider the move 11:15 to 11;27 as one wave or would you consider 11:21 to 11:27 as a different wave? Thanks for your help.

    In your second trade, you took inside bar low as SL, in stead of MC at 13:48. Can you please explain your thought process ?

      After the entry price came back and attempted to move below 8870 and got rejected
      Next bar low was 8870. then price moved up and broke earlier swing high. I kept the stop below
      below PDH, below pull back low and below round number 8870 Normally price should not hit this level.

      I am not a fan of these diagonal lines.One or two points extra or lesser move happened hours ago can make or break a trade. For me the horizontal price levels only matter

      Thanks for sharing ST. Absolutely I agree. However such setups when occur can add to conviction and present good R:R setups. As you notice the short opportunity was made available much before this - at TST of BRN.

    Hi Sir,

    Why was the short signal not taken when the nifty pull back the second time at BRN. Also are there any candles to watch for the BOF

      We may not be able to take all the signals in a discretionary method
      Sometimes we wait for some confirmation. by that time price will move away
