Expiry day . Did not attempt any trades today. Avoided the morning long due to PDH,RN and NS RN. Afternoon it was all chop.

  1. Hi ST,
    You may have noticed the volume of the red candle which touched IRL/LOD/PDL. My terminal showed it be max volume bar. Does it indicate selling climax? There was a three layer support, DO/LOD/PDL and it exactly stopped at PDL. Please enlighten us.

    Thanks

      Looked like a selling climax with massive volume.
      Cant say what really happened. Somebody might have tried to push price below 6800 for expiry
      They might have thought the stop triggering below LOD and PDL will help them.
      They under estimated the resting orders below this area

    2. S ST...reduces 2 points per trade ...
      But still hasnt put money ....But follows it live and marks entries..
      I know in live , things vary too much but still I passed a hurdle , which is to be profitable in paper trades which I was not able to do before...Long way to go ....

      thanks

      Trade carefully on expiry, especially the afternoon session.
      You cannot expect the natural flow of the market. anything can happen

    1. When price is in the marked area stop remains the same
      Once it falls again and test the swing low you can bring down it to the new swing high.
      Here 10.30 swing low is a trouble area. Hope you were paying attention

      Usually I consider tails for direct BO entries.
      Reason is SL orders are usually beyond these extremes

      Support/Resistance and price flips work in all the markets in all time frames.
      It is very difficult to trade such higher time frames on a single contract.You will end up taking all the mediocre trades.First you have to identify and select some liquid contracts as watch list. Then try to enter in the direction of trend on patterns like BOF and TST of prominent swing points.I have not tried it.

    6. Sir,
      ur point is valid..and i backtest it before post..here is the list..
      tech mahindra,axis bk,icici bk,adani ent,reliance infra,yes bank,aurobindo pharma,ajanta pharma,..
      this stock work fine with trade structure and i backtest it from last year june..every week they give 1 or 2 signal ,in a month around 8 to 10 good entry with good risk ratio signal for mere 30-40 points,and i think thats good enough..and we need to work with 2 to 3 lots with good decipline..
      Thank u and waiting for ur reply...

    1. From morning bulls were trying to push price above RN 6850 for expiry.
      They failed to do so. You can short there with a SL above HOD and take a chance
      All other trades are just gambles today being expiry.No methods or TA will work

      MSP 1 and 2 is correct
      After that whenever price makes a new swing low, the swing high from where the move originated will qualify as MSP
      MSP 3 is the last one

      ST

    2. So all the marked MSP 's are correct ...right..
      And there was a trap trade at MSP 2 , which I took

  11. Hi ST,
    I am TA student from past 2 years and a PA trader from past 6 months, but I am still unable to trade profitably.
    The same 5min chart which makes sense in the evening gives me losses in the morning, i am kind of getting a feel that its not working out for me. May be I should move to swing trading, do you thing lance beggs methods would work for swing trading, also any suggesstions regarding day trading (I trade Ibrealestate)

      Lance Beggs method may not work for swing trading.
      I dont know how you are trading but why ibrealestate.?
      While day trading go for some very liquid counters where professionals play.
      Amateur counters are not predictable where as professionals trade methodically.

  12. ST Sir,

    I am half way through reading the important posts you mentioned..

    How ever could u pls confirm if my understaning is correct, on possible trades fr yesterday.. i have not traded, but i am doing on paper.

    Long once IRH crosses with SL below IRL (which also day low)... trial to cost if resisted at BRN 6850.. NF crossed 6850 NS as well.. SL moved below to BRN 6850 NF.. this trade gave 10 points.


    Also i think we can take short trade below 6850 nf with SL as days high.. not sure if we consider this as BOF... this trade also went good as it breaches days low.


    Let me know if i am tracking in right way.. i will be doing paper trade for some time.

    Method work well when professional day traders are in control of the market. They are creatures of habit and and their actions are more or less predictable. During expiry and major announcements market is moved by a different group and we cannot expect the method to work well.
    Breakout trades are my least preferred trades. I have lost a lot trying to trade breakouts and trends. Exceptions are IR and range breakouts which I call Pressure Plays.IR BO is taken only when I feel it can develop to a trend from morning. It is not something people take as ORB BO trades.
    If you are entering long on the BO of IRH , the stop is never below IRL. I expect the price to stay above IRH and once it falls back to the range I am out. You have to use some discretion here, say a crack of the bottom of BO bar.Maximum risk is 4-5 points including commissions. The Idea is the rejection of price from a higher area.In other words price is not getting accepted above IRH.Core concept is the acceptance or rejection of price at levels which I call Decision Points.Once price moves in our favour trail it using flips, swing points and Decision points
    Price action trading is not pattern trading. If you start searching for the patterns to trade, I am afraid it is not going to work.DPs will work like magic most of the time and will give you an enduring edge
