11032015

 This is an illustrative example of the concepts being discussed.Markings are just visualizations on historical data in hindsight analysis 
Market was too choppy. Last impulse acted as a range. Went short below IRH as TST of range low. covered when it bounced above IRL/RN. Tried another BO short targeting PDL. Stopped out. Price did not pull back to range low ,so missed the long. Another short at Range high also failed. Did not attempt any other trade as market was very choppy. I was not comfortable with those wide bars

    Hi ST

    Does volatility help in gauging whether (mini or long) term bull or bear market is coming to a pause or an end??

    Thanks

      It is difficult to trade with a 10 point SL.
      Better to stay out diring such periods

      A BOF should trap traders. Here it has not happened
      Those who are long will keep SL below IRL only. So no stop triggering expected
      Trading into IRL and RN which is low probability

      Last impulse was PDL-8780. It cant be that wide. So expected IRL to 8780
      Later revised as per price action

      Exit was at 8743

    Thanks for the chart ST. I took the first short, and another one below 12:48. I assumed that the xx50 is enveloped and PDC was resisting.. Please tell me how wrong I was with the second short

    ST,
    Why u dint initiated longs on Breakdown failure above 10.45. but in similar situation you took longs above 10.18 onMarch. 10
    is is due to strong fall before the failure? or any other reason?

    Thanks and Regards
    Bharat

      Price was channeling to the upside
      We were discussing it live then. See the comments 10032015

      Go with minimum quantity till you consistently make 200+ points a month.Then scale up slowly
      If you make 200+points a month for 3 continuous months add one more lot. If you lose a month cut back the position to half the next month. Restore to original position after 3 continuous month profit. Do it without affecting the psychology. It is not an impossible task.
