Can you educate us a little about your entry and exit conditions? These are definitely not gut based trading. While I was looking for a sweet spot to enter short ( which was easy today), you did long like a boss !
I'm sure you're taking positions on breakout.
But what are your breakout conditions and what are you exit conditions?
How do you decide the crucial supports? may be a chart will useful to us many !
Hi friend, thanks for your query. Good question indeed. To begin with, my trading setup is solely based on only two things in this entire trading universe and that is SUPPORT & RESISTANCE levels.
For example, 28500 (+ / - 50 points) was rather a crucial support. This is because we had recently tested the same level some couple of months ago and recovered from the same. But eventually, the markets slipped below it i.e. just after two months or so.
Moving forward, now what I am about to tell you is solely based on my personal study and observation regarding banknifty during last four years. Hence, you won't get to hear or read it anywhere else.
By very nature and characteristic of market movement (especially banknifty), every time banknifty index breaks an important level decisively (be it support or resistance), the index tries to retrace back again (on intraday basis), after every 250 points (+ / - 50 points) or after every 500 points (+ / - 50 points) and so on ....
Plus, being an options trader ... I tend to dive deep and live in the world of only one thing and that is PREMIUMS and that too on daily basis .... I keep a daily watch on jumping or melting option premiums ... I focus on intraday premium erosion on daily basis ..... and once I feel that it's correct time to pounce on an options contract, that is the time when I try to match suitable buying level and appropriate target based on nearest support or resistance. Usually, my stoploss is somewhere close to support or resistance only.
Last but not least, my only suggestion to my fellow traders would be ....... traders should start focusing and dealing more in numbers (i.e. levels) rather than just raw charts. Charts would NOT provide us money all the time .... but numbers (or levels) WILL .... Thanks friend ..... cheers
