  1. ST Sir,

    Flat day.. did only 2 trades as R:R is not in favour throughout day for me.

    TRADE1:

    Short at 7535 (below IRL), with initial SL 7548 (above PDL)
    Moved SL to 7537, as NF closed below BO bar
    Trail SL hit; exited trade with loss of 4 points

      Trades are OK. You are managing risk well
      I just thought about the way I day traded earlier. Short below IRL and stopped out above IRH
      Short below PDL with SL above HOD. Again stopped out
      Long above HOD again stopped out. Session ended with 60 point loss

  2. Thanks Sir.. i also had bitter experiences in range bound markets with SAR.. do you believe i lost 100+ points single day.. switching long to shorts..shorts to longs.. as nifty keep on rolling around SAR.. i was turned blind and keep on shifting positions hoping to catch next big move.. there were times i sit whole month idle and booked a trade with 1000 point gain... that kind of moves spoil mechanical traders brain .. & they themselves let most of profit go in side ways again.. ofcourse thats fault of trader, not trading method but.. it is very difficult to control emotions..

    By the way.. it is interesting for us to know, how you started with DP trading, over coming failures.. improvisations made over the time.. we are enjoying end product now, but curious to know more on how you travelled.. (specially in DP trading)

  3. ST,
    On which bar did you exit the second trade?

    1. I exited at the second bar after the lower tail rejection bar
      It was just a square off as there was no momentum to the down side

  4. very boring day indeed.. short below 7535 did not move as expected as nifty spot took support @ 7500 RN and scratched the trade with 10 points profit. Long @ BO of morning high @ 7563 and it did not move either and scratched the trade @ 7560. Whole day was very boring. The stocks were also not moving much though some stocks reversed from early morning lows; I did not attempt any trade.

    1. We can expect good momentum on breakout of the current range

    1. Watching that big red bar I expected some momentum and a move to the range low
      So ignored NS BRN

  7. Dear ST,

    I know this is very basic and old but since 2 months working for me...

    even today all signals gave me more than 15-20 points easily...

    just wanted your inputs on such systems... its only for entry and exit is 10-15-20 points with trail some times

      Looks like some moving average crossover system
      I have no idea about them as I do not trade such systems
