Nifty  opened just above PDL, fell down further and breached BRN 6300. Shorted  below BRN as BPB @ PDL/BRN. It was the mistake of the day. Entered the trade even before IRL was formed and paid with SL. It is a valuable lesson – Before IRL is formed, don’t go BPB short; similarly don’t go BPB long before IRH is formed, even though DP may be inside the IR. This doesn’t apply for BOF (with huge volume) trades. The reason is, when a DP is inside IR and BOF happens here, that DP may well be the IRL or IRH.  
Didn’t take the BOF – BRN, IRL. Could have entered Long above  IRH.  Didn’t do so as PDC was closely located. First mistake warned me to take a high probability trade.
Took the BOF on the second attempt to break PDH. Scratched with 3 points loss. Nothing wrong with this trade and it is just a matter of things beyond our control. Really surprised by the huge volume of  buys, subsequently. A tough trading day, which taught a few things for a price.
Didn’t lose my cool after the first mistake.  It is the positive. Green Tea must be credited for that?

    3. Hi Mahesh,

      Just 2 days ago, I paid Rs.899 per month for icharts. There is almost no time delay, works well even with minimum internet speed. Drawings of the previous day can be saved and used for the next day.

      Deven Malhotra, a Nifty Nirvana blogmate has suggested a few days back that he has no issues with the chart of investing.com. He also added that by opening a demat account in sharekhan at zero cost, you can use their chart, which seems to be as good as icharts. No need to trade with Sharekhan, you can continue to trade in the platform of your brokerage house.

      Hope this helps.

      Thanks. S.Karthikeyan

  4. Hi Mahesh,

    It is a good idea. We can ping through gmail and do that. But the problem is, the internet speed is too low in our neighborhood. Even for trading, I am using Zerodha html platform only.

    I have an old computer with me. I can use it exclusively for chatting purpose, using another internet connection. I will try to get it serviced.

    In the meantime, we can discuss after market hours. Why don't you start a blog and post your trades? That will help in understanding the trading approach of each other.

    Thanks. S.Karthikeyan
