24/01/2014




Gapped down  below PDL and climbed up to form the first candle as a Master candle. Counter trend gap, followed by price action in the opposite direction  was  the cause of confusion for some time. 

BOF occurred at IRH.  Price started falling steeply.   BRN-Spot/IRL and  BRN were located close to each other (LOL). As the space was too less, didn’t  take the BO trade,  instead was waiting for BOF in one of these DPs.Price fell below BRN in no time. Here I had the space to enter, but support was found around 6280.

Now expected the price to go upto BRN  and form a MSP before forming the second bottom. Price was resisted  a little ahead of BRN, forming a Range high. Should have taken the BOF trade at Range high.  Didn’t.

Then looked for BOF in Day Low. That too didn’t happen. So no trades for the day.

Counter trend gap needs to be trusted for its strength.  In case of CT gaps, there is a strong probability of  the FTAs  getting washed ashore in a jiffy. Next time, you see a CT gap,  jump in as soon as the price starts moving in the direction of  CT, without bothering  about the space with FTA. That is a risk worth taking.  This is Lesson 1 of the day.

There is a  mental barrier to trust Range High/Low as a DP and enter on BOF here.  They must be trusted, especially when  a double  or treble bottom/ top is being formed.  This is Lesson 2 of  the day.
