Refer below screen shot,
1. Try to refer crude oil international data along with MCX,
Pre-MCX session provides hint of initial morning move.
2. Check volume bars, Right side having clear volume graph
(Spread between MCX and Intl data is very less so we can trade with reference )
3. Pakeman candle is my only one favorite PA structure,
Referring two chart we may better frequency of occurance
I doubled my quantity for this, since its hit rate is high for me
4. My first rule, Don't try to capture Top or Bottom even with SR levels,
This saving and reducing my draw down due to SL hit
Retrace trade having more success rate and better SL
5. MM, Trade with even lots, Half exit with pre-determined points
(we can see power of compounding even if second target are not achieved most of the time)
and then move remaining position to BE till Target achieved or valid reason to exit
Cheers,
Stay Green!
