31072015

This is an illustrative example of the concepts being discussed.Markings are just visualizations on historical data in hindsight analysis 
Nifty tried to move up above PDH/BRN and got rejected. But was not able to move below DO and IRL. Long on break of BRN. Stalled at NS BRN for a while and moved up. Exit around 8560. Type 1 trend day

    Hi Sir,
    It seems you have used 5M chart today, if yes, any specific reason ?

    Thanks
    Arvind

      Experimenting after reading this

      DPs are time frame independent levels. So 5M wont make any difference. But while trailing trends 5M will have some advantage. You will not be shaken out too soon keeping stops at minor 3M price pivots

      Agreed Sir. However I observed its difficult to have 10 points stops when trading 5 min charts. Its just like moving to any other higher time frame.
      What's been your observation so far?

      Higher time frame always require higher stops

      Hi ST,
      Would entry on 3 mins and SL trailing on 5 mins work?

      3 or 5 do not matter. What we need is the ability to read the market bias and skill to enter without hesitation when a counter bias move stalls at a good location.

    Hi ST for first trade where was the SL. It did not go as expected initially what made you hold the trade when it came below pdh. When do you scratch such trades

      Stop was at 8489.Better to sit tight trusting our reading in these situations.Bias was bullish and price failed to move below IRL. Price takes the path of least resistance. BRN/PDH/IRL/PDC cluster below and and a fluid till 8580 on top.Expectation was a trend move or a BW around PDH and BRN.10 point SL was fixed long back when ATR of NF was around 40-50 points and when it was around 50xx. Very tight for the current volatility and index value. better not to micromanage unless the original premise gets invalidated
