Thank you Xray, whats flag end move ?? Any link for the same..

You pointed out right, last week 2 times it happend, that a good move is missed for I did not get a classing pivot forming on my 5m chart. Yesterday also when the pivot formed it was higher than the support area. That's why I added 21 EMA on my chart to see the minor trend direction and pullback of price to 21 EMA, to enter on low risk pullback setup in the direction of trend..

Though I knew it for a long time, but now slowly realizing it, that its not the pivot/indicators/entry that's what gonna make us a profitable trader, but our capacity of taking a low risk and defined trade setup in the direction of

On a side note : @Xray, your trading returns are terrific.. You turned around and lightened the situation like Captain cool "Dhoni".. In just 2 weeks, you are net up by 30%.. :clapping::clapping:

Now feeling blessed.. :)

Just check post 339 in your own thread which subhadip suggested ...

@ LoneWolf !!! last week loss was 22 % in all segments and second week it is 31 % profit..so net is just 9 % !!!
Do you keep any monthly/quarterly risk factor in your MM beyond which one will stop trading for the month ??
 
Sharing my thoughts in hindsight.

Any reasons why didnt you consider 11.49 pin bar that rejected PDL?
What i could guess is the pin bar didnt make a new low, downsloping ema, close below ema, and most importantly i think overlap with prior bars...
And the point in favor of Long was price rejected the PDL second time, so chances were it will go up..
What was you analysis?

If one is making entry solely on rejection/Pinbar near support/resistance area, then hardly the bold criteria will hold. Lets say price is approaching/falling to support then for most of the time it would be trading below EMA line, Lets say near support it gives a sharp pinbar with good rejection volume, No overlapping with prior bar. But still it would be below the EMA, and EMA will be still falling.. Only after a considerable congestion/range near support, when the EMA will go sideways-flat, pinbar might close above EMA.

So I would like to know more about this pinbar setup and how to read it from you and Karthik (he also trade this beautifully near PDH/PDL).. Please keep sharing in your free time.

If you have separate capital allocation for all three segments ie Daytrading,swing trading and position trading (and equal amount of capital for all the three )then your loss in first week is 7.33 % On total capital and not 22 %. Similarly Profit in 2nd week is 10.33 % of the total capital giving a net profit of 3 % for 2 weeks which is good considering that you recovered from first week's loss.

Its same, just modified the AFL little bit, Now the Previous day high/low are plotted in terms of range drawn in lightblue color. Previous 2 day;s high low are plotted in pink color.

Just added the 21EMA, to see the direction of minor trend.
What is this range based on ?

It seems it is the range of the Candle making day's High/Low with respect to close of the same candle?

If possible please share the AFL,looks good for marking the PDHLC zones instead of single lines.

Yes, I think he has replied previously that he trade them all in separate account.

Yes Amit, I modified the Previous day range AFL to plot those trade areas as zone instead of line. Here is the AFL.. Enjoy.
