Hello T1

Thanks for giving an example of you trade. When you do these reversion to the mean type of trades, do you follow very specific rules? Are there any defined setups that you use to identify overbot/sold condition. (No indicators on your chart ).

Regards
Sanjay

Yes SGM, theese trades r basically of two types: playing over reaction of crowd and reversion to mean. Cycles, bollinger bands, MA envelopes, panic buying/selling in the order book, hisogram of two MA difference,confluence levels.... there can be numerous ways to look for that.

Ofcourse I can comment more on that. But I shall refrain from the time being and wait for reply from CV, a bttr authority, for our mutual benefit . I missed a gud trade today bcoz of lag in quotes, will keep posting more.

biyasc, it is still not clear. If you dont have any knowledge on patterns of buying/selling; be it thru chart patterns/indicators/tape reading/trendlines on graph; the question of anticipation or reaction does not come in the first place. If u can refer to a chart, perhaps it will be clear.

Few lines of an article might be of interest:

Anticipations
might be described more as hunches, or gut feelings of what may happen. They usually involve a fair assessment of current conditions, and are based on how the current conditions are most likely to continue to develop. Anticipations help to serve more of an if/then type of role, and they allow for adjustments in a trading plan.....
The good news that comes with anticipating another move down is that the setups will have to prove themselves to warrant an entry. Rising trend lines and support levels will be required to break in order to trigger a trade entry for me. So at this point, anticipating another move down doesn’t back me into a corner. It allows room for an alternate trading plan, whereas predicting another leg lower skews my view and offers no flexibility.

So, you mean that if you are "combinationing" then you are not really as sure as when you are reacting. Therefore, you prefer to have a tighter stop. This is what you did for your recent entry in GMR Infra?
