Market was very choppy. Tried two trades one short and one long. Both the trades failed.I stayed with the first trade for a long time with the initial stop loss. But it moved after stopping me out above BRN. Second trade was into too much of traffic and could have avoided. Price was in a  wide BW during the second half

High Low Range

Market volatility is an important factor that determines the profit potential of a day trader. You might have noticed that sometimes Nifty gaps up and spends the entire day in a tight trading range, making day trading very difficult. Further a volatility measure is very much required for knowing what kind of a move to expect and to decide where to book the profits ones you are in a trade..

Markets are cyclical and alternate between high volatility and low volatility. We are going through a high volatility phase. This is temporary and will pass.People generally use ATR as a proxy for volatility. But this measure includes gaps and is not a very true measure from a day trading point of view. High Low range or intraday range is a better proxy of intraday volatility.

Nifty opened within previous day range. IR formed. Long on BOF of IRL. It was trailing all the way to 8340.Glad  Nifty celebrated the successful GSLV launch. Sadly our media was busy discussing terrorism and conversions.

Nifty gaped up above PDH. Did not attempt the break of IRH as it was below RN. The next big bull candle acted as a MC and became range of the day. There were RN and NS RN in between. Tried a short trade but it did not move well. Scratched.Adapting to the volatility is the main issue with Day trading

Then it was a chop inside the range.Very difficult to manage trades within the risk level due to high volatility

Nifty gaped down and refused to go below the first bar. Nifty Spot touched 8200 the earlier flip and bounced.I thought it may reverse today. But it did not happen. Last down impulse held as a range. Took two BOF shorts of PDC/PDL LOL levels. Covered them when it bounced from RN. Skipped the last one as I was not confident as price has started making higher lows

Nifty opened near PDC. First candle acted as IR. Short when second time price failed to move above IRH. Price got trapped between IRL and PDH for a long time. Covered on BOF of PDL. Strong BOF of PDL could not take price above IRL. I had a buy order above IRL which did not trigger. Shorted the break below PDL. Exited too early when price bounced from BRN and missed the last leg of the down move

Nifty gaped down below PDC/PDL. Price did not pullback to PDL at all. Shorted the TST of range high. Covered when a BOF happened at range low which was also RN. Short below range as PP which was already tested 4 times earlier. Even earlier BOF failed to move price more than 10 points to the upside.Covered on FTC below 8420.Immediately there was a TRAP to go short again. Hesitated to take it and missed.Rest of the day it was a BW around BRN. Can we expect a fall to 8200?

I was not trading today. Nifty opened near PDC/PDL and bounced. There was no follow up buying and fell below PDL. One can short this breakdown. Market gave another TST also. Finally gave a PP. 4 touches at the range low and each rejection made a lower high. Last bounce was a minor TRAP. BOF of BRN did not work

Nifty opened within previous day range and sold.The first candle was wide and this MC acted as IR. There were BRN and PDC in between and made it a Barbed wire. I ws looking for a signal at PDH and price turned from DO. Went long on BOF of IRL/LOD. I was waiting for a TRAP and up move like yesterday.The opposite happened.Covered when the break above the early swing highs failed. Missed the short trade. It was a good short below BRN. There was 10 point space below it to FTA ,LOD and a 10 point fluid below that.Many of the positional longs created yesterday covered due to weekend.Yesterdays entire up move retraced
