22042014


Nifty opened near PDC and tried to move down. First candle was an MC which acted as the IR. Long on break of IRH on BOF of PDC. Price failed to move to PDH, my target. Scratched. Shorted the break of range low . I thought there will be enough stops below this area to move price below LOD. Exited at a 3 point loss. Did not attempt the up move as there was not much space. Another short on BOF of HOD and TST of  PDH.Exited at a small profit when it bounced back from range low.Very choppy 20 point range.

  1. Sir,
    I went LONG exactly at the place where you exited your PP trade, as I thought that it was a BOF of PDC. I exited at the breach of BO candle low of HOD.

    Though I exited, I expected the HOD to be breached sooner or later, as this move began with a BOF at the other extreme. What were the factors that suggested that HOD will hold and price has to go down?

      Your long was a nice trade good entry and exit.
      There were three layers of resistance HOD,PDH and RN.
      Naturally you can expect a lot of stops above these levels. But price was not able to move up because there were resting orders waiting above it.Two candles with upper tails showed this.
      You missed the trade because you were not able to change your bias so fast.If you were not long during the up move, you will not find it difficult to short there .Same thing happened to me also. I was not able to reverse my short to long at the bottom. We need to work on it and correct it.

  3. Hallo,
    Was it not BOF of PDC @ 4th candle? Why didn't initiated long there? Or your trade which is on break of IRH was based on this BOF, but entry was late?

    1. Yes. I have written "Long on break of IRH on BOF of PDC"
      First candle had upper tails and I suspected orders there.
      Price stalled and pulled back at IRH the FTA. I entered on break of this barrier, but trade did not move as expected

      Traders trade charts. Trade what you see on the charts.
      NSE average closing is not visible on charts and hence nobody will act there

      You need not extend the IR till the end of the day if it is not obvious especially long tails.
      Trades are OK. On a 20 point range day cant expect much.
      Long back I used to get stopped out both ways losing 40-60 points on these kind of days trying to trade the trend and breakouts
