Yeah Blackhole. My entries are always with limit orders with tight stop. I set the parameters of the ATM strategy such that it will automatically place stop order 5 ticks away from the entry and target1 and target 2 at 30 and 50 ticks away respectively. They are tentative and I will adjust the orders after they are automatically placed depending on the trade context.

A tick movement in CL is relatively equivalent to a point movement in MCX. So both resembles the same.
Currently my winning percentage is 52%. In fact that's the stat I am focusing these days to improve. :)

Amandeep.. These are normal pullbacks in 3 min. chart (my trading timeframe), in the direction of my bias. Have a look at the following image..

I know it will be ridiculous if I say that I try to catch tops and bottoms. But that's what I always do and that's the reason why my initial stop is so tight. I believe that the level that has some significance in the past will do something on the first retest. So if I am looking for a long trade, I look for an untested level where market trapped some bears in the past and continued up, in the last impulse swing.
Have a look at the following image from my journal. I hope it gives you an idea about how I will deal with it. My entry will be a TST or BOF of the level..
