This is something i am trying to work on now a days. Trading nifty on the 30 min time frame. Its a lot harder than i imagined. Intraday trading with smaller tf is relatively easy since its just a matter of proper execution of a trading plan. But when bigger volumes come into the picture, smaller tf create a lot of mental pressure. So its time to switch to higher time frame.

This is going to be a test of my patience and since i get a lot of time to micro analyze the market, it makes things a lot more complicated and counter productive. Initiating a trade with 75 point stop loss is something i never did before. My forte was always tiny stop loss and awesome risk reward ratio. Coming out of my comfort zone is proving to be a tougher challenge and its time to face the music.

This thread is going to be my log book of my journey into the new challenge.

As usual, feel free to post your views. I need all the help as possible....

First of all thanks for starting this thread.
I am successfully trading bullion since past one year. Although i was originally an equity and Index person.
Now the charts have worked wonderfully for me and given great returns in bullion.
Same thing when tried in Index it did not do too well.
I never backtest. I like to do paper trades on any new system first.
And agreed its a tougher challenge when u have heavy positions.
I will also try to post my trades here and the rationale behind them if ok.

First thing we need is a solid plan of action. That plan need to be reviewed every week and area of development isolated.

first thing I need to define is :

1.The trend-short term, mid term, long term.

2. Prevailing sentiments.

3. Phase of the market- sideways or trending.

4. Support and resistance.

5. Entry.

6. stop loss.

7. exit.

8. money / trade / risk management.

One question i want to ask:
Whats the motive of this exercise ?
Taking trades based on the system that is developed here obviously.
So if we are going to trade 30 min tf what should be our expectation out of it ?
Should we try it on Bank nifty futures and CNX IT futures too ?
Are we going to look at only charts or macro too ?

Dear Linkon ji,

1.Request to help us with a good sample trading plan for the benefits of members.

2.Checklist for the day trading trade execution if any ?

3.Should a day trader keep on starting every price ticks or set periodical sound alerts to have a occasional look at the charts ?

TIA.

i expect this to work best on BNF but for the time being i have to concentrate on NF...

Looking at macro picture can help but how much only time can tell...
