Hi friends,

My trade set up on IPCL

Entry = 354
SL = 340 (triggered)

Just want to analyse where it went wrong. All members input are welcome. Just want to dissect and lets see if we can learn anything.

Regards
Raj

This is the list I found out to be costly affair.

1. Volumes prooved to be costly affair. I always concentrate on price and volumes but neglected volumes in this trade.
2. Entered into the trade well before the valid break out

Sunil, Help me out on this three things

1. Close is near the trading range but it looks well above the trading range
2. What does the Doji suggest in this context.
3. What does 10 DMA suggests if it stays below.

Regards
Raj

Please do not delude/comfort yourself with reasons. I don't know if I'm educated enough to comment on this but from what I can see, losing trades is not a fault,but an unavoidable output from the process of trading. I really doubt if any of the above causes triggered the loss.

Hi Raj,

This trade could have gone either way...........part and parcel of trading.Always remember that a trade that made profits where you followed your plan and all processes is a WIN trade.A trade that was stopped where once again you followed all processes is again a WIN trade........important thing being the sticking to the game plan.

So yours was a WIN trade,you got stopped,a pat on the back for being unlike the many who would be hoping and praying.Great going........now look to the next trade!

Hi Saint,

Yes, a pat on the back, takes care of the wounds, but given the kind of price action, the question still remains open whether a trade on the long side should have been initiated in the first place.

hi mr rajesh,
market always behave as per the tech analysis is not 100% true. your study and analysis is correct.and as a precautionary measures you have perfectly put your stop loss.from your side nothing is wrong ,but such things are inevitable in the market
so forget about it and cocentrate on next trade. what mr SAINT says is perfectly right.

Hi Sunil,
Again, I do not know if I am educated enough to comment on this...but I hope to learn by expressing my view.
How does do you know that the price which has been trending in one direction will not reverse and go in the other direction tomorrow? Don't indicators (price based, volume based) point out what has already happened than what is to happen?

Nothing adds much,to the point. You are just echoing Saints view. Was the original decision to open a trade on the long side correct? We just can't say 'forget about it and carry on to the next trade' unless this issue is resolved first.

You guys are seniors & more experienced then me. But I would like to mention here that, there was buy signal 2 weeks back on IPCL. I had given a call on this, which was quiet successful.

Dear Raj, I think, timing was not correct for ur entry @ this point, as it was already in an overbought position & some shorttime negative divergence were there in the oscillators.
