Hi Columbusji,
I did Short banknifty lot on 2nd Aug somewhere at opening down candele at 10233 w/o keeping stopeloss (some times impatience/over confidance dominates) but was in strong upmove constantly- made me comple to go beyond daytrading, again on next day did short one lot on 10336 to average the situation till now waiting for downward movment of banknifty..

Hi Sureyes,

It is not a good practice to put an order at opening bell.Please give 30 minutes to market to cool down.Funny enough 9.00-9.30 is often the most lucrative time to trade but getting it 100% correct is difficult.

Once you take a stand (in present case SHORT),in the same security ,of the
same month ,you can not take opposite stand ,but it is possible to take opposite stand in other months contracts.OR you take opposite stand in NIFTY.

Averaging requires lot of confidence and conviction.

By the by ,I am short both on Nifty and Bank Nifty.

BB(20,2) of nifty futures and bank nifty, on time frame 5 min are presented below.

Case1.Choppy Market:
Go long when Red+Green candles pierce the bottom band
(Keep case.2 in mind also always) and wait for 15minutes for confirmation
after taking position, otherwise come out with stoploss.
Go short when Green+Red candles pierce the top band
(Keep case.2 in mind also always) and wait for 15minutes for confirmation
after taking position , otherwise come out with stoploss.

In case of Verital rise or Vertical fall ,the above rules may not work & have close
look at the central line and outer boundaries always.Perhaps this may qualify for
case.2. A close of candle outside the bands need not necessarily mean
termination of trend but it be continuation as well. Have patience to keep a watch
on those situations.

Case2.Trending Market:

If the candles are concentrated in Top band ONLY go Long.
If the candles are concentrated in Bottom band ONLY go Short.
Rules of Case.1 do not work here and keep Mid line as stoploss.
The Proximity of candles with respect to Outer boundaries indicates the
Strength. More strength means more closer to Outer boundaries.

Avoid trading when the Bollinger Band is Narrow and Horizontal.Check with
Nifty-Spot chart occasionally.

Instead of ONE bollinger band (20,2) ,another bollinger band (20,1)
might help.Give a try.
