Today all messed up. The down movement was entered late, assumed it will go down as the IB breakdown but bounced back. Out with a loss of 23 points( SL helped )

market does just reverse of what my view is. This is also a good strategy i think

Hi Bril,
Yes...to day is a difficult day.... and by sticking to discipline like placing SL is a good quality...Please main that good quality, in early days of my trading i used to fear to place the SL...but learnt the lesson hard way..after taking big hits...
Stop loss hits are part and parcel of trading..cheer up:)
Keep it up and i described about a special pnf pattern(today's price action only)...please visit the link below when you have time...(post no:105)

Hi,

Today missed the entry in morning and was reluctant to enter in the middle or when there was a small correction in BNF. So decided to just keep analysing live.

Gone thru the Point and figure charts, with only price movements it seems very simple.


Need to build a system based on P&F charts.

Zerodha Kite p&f chart seems ok though there is no option to configure it as said by Praveen bhai. Only thing you can do is change the TF.


Few Points Came out of Analysis for Self Affirmation.
1. If the System gives a signal I have 2 choice. Enter or Keep out of market.
2. Put SL in each and every trade, the moment you enter the trade. To protect capital.
3. If Not confidant of a trade, just watch how the market turn out.(and this was always a winning trade)
4. Believe in your System, SL and Target.
5. The market will be there always and new signals will come.

Took stock of journey so far...Capital is down by 30%
(this has happened mainly because of reluctance to put SL. Strong belief that my trade can not go wrong. )



So if i could make atleast 0.5% per day, 60 trading day can makeup the losses.

Is it achievable?

But important thing is minimising the Loss per Trade. So each and every trading day seems important now onwards...

Hi Brill,
All the best for your wish to build pnf trading system...
I just wanted to tell you some points about Pnf out of my experience as pnf chartist...
1.Box size and reversal size are the two important variables at the disposal of pnf chartist and inability to change them according to chatist's idea severely hampers one's prospects of pnf trading. That way kite pnf charts are of not much use to a pnf chartist trader.
2. For a pnf chart the Time frame is in Box size not in minutes....if you increase the box size you are increasing time frame of pnf chart...Think about it..you will get my point....The charts i previously posted in this thread are all based on same data with different box sizes....that is why ideal way of plotting pnf is by tick data....but for convenience i am using 1M snapshot data..

By the way Trade point plus is a pnf software...and i read somewhere that they are offering it for free with RT data,but i am not sure whether that offer is still there..try that one if you wish and it is still available..Define edge solution is the company name...
All the Best:thumb:

Messed up again...

Lack of mental discipline...

No idea how to overcome this.

When ever there is a move in my direction i am out of the trade early.

Exit with break even... Over traded so in red because of Brokerage and Charges.

How to avoid overtrading? Any idea

One way is to trade longer TF. Will use 20m TF which i feel is more reliable for BNF.

But need to find some way to put shorter SL which is also reliable...

My thoughts...

While comparing the 20m candle chart and the P&F chart most of the time reversals coincides with each other. So for the time being concentrating on 20m bar chart. To avoid the large SL, need to do some back testing with the 5m chart.

From monday onwards will look into 20m tf and 5m tf for trades and also 1h tf for market trend.

Until the break even happen, small profits(40 points in BNF) will be the target and avoid big losses. Small losses can be recovered same day or next day.

Will draw horizontal lines at previous day important points will act as reference points.

As of now BNF is in uptrend(after budget) and all pull downs were buying opportunities. How it will pan out in the expiry week and with the May series is to be seen.

Could not trade today for fear of lossing. Need to discard greed and fear. So will backtest one strategy today with April BNF data and apply this in May with out fear.

Which strategy can give consistant profit in long term? need to find out. So will test with the visual pivot first on 5m chart.

Will get out of trade once i get a small profit and close down the terminal to avoid over trading....this will also calm down the greed factor
