Started trading late in the morning.
1) Shorted when BRN resisted. Got 6 points.
2) Longed at RL. BRN resisted. Got 8 points.
3) Looked like buys were getting
absorbed at BRN. Shorted bit late. Got just 2 points.
4) Longed at BRN. Got just 6 points.
5)Price could not go up even after 3
attempts. First kept the short at XX97.70. Lost focus and moved it up to swing
low at XX03. Stopped out. Gave 8 points. If the entry was not preponed, this losing trade could have been avoided.
6) Now it is evident that BRN will
hold. The pattern morphed into Spike and Ledge. Didn’t expect this pattern at
BRN near HOD. Longed hesitatingly. Got 20 points.
Very very tough day for day trading.
Hi Karthikeyan,
ReplyDeleteIt was really tough. But one thing, why you haven't considered the sideways range boudaries that formed yesterday's afternoon session. Lot of good trades are there around that area today.
Hi Jagadeesh,
DeleteYou are right.
I took a lot of trades. Except the 4th and 6th trades, I was not sure abt other trades, when I took them. A lot more to learn.
Thanks

Thanks for the chart.
ReplyDelete1. For your 1st trade, where did you actually short? Low of which bar?
2. Did you have enough room for trade 2 & 5 to BRN?
3. After the move from open to HOD, the bias was long to buy pullbacks. #3 short a CT trade? Also wasn't the range low very close?
4. Where you exited the short of #3, that was a BOF of the range low. Curious why you skipped that trade? Was a tricky trade with 3rd LL.
5. Trade 4 & 6 were very good trades. With the trend and had enough room.
Thanks,
Hi,
ReplyDelete1) For the first trade, I took a blind short at XX97.70, as I was convinced that price will not go up before testing or breaking XX77, the swing pivot from where this move originated.I expected the price to break XX77, but that didn't happen.
2) Trade 2 - There was enough space with BRN. I entered at XX82. Trade 5 - There was no space with BRN. Out of my greed for a few points, I had to pay the price.
3) When repeated attempts to break BRN fail, it indicates that buys are being absorbed. When bulls give up, a big fall can happen, breaking RL. Here again, my entry was too late.
4)around xx83
5) Yes. Was very difficult to trade, yday.
Thanks,
