Day Trading Stocks & Futures

re: Day trading Nifty & Banknifty Futures

ST,


Currently I trade based on support n resistance, if the daily trend is positive, I enter the trade at the support level and if market moves in my direction I trail my stop loss based on 5 mins tf support level.

At any point of the day, if 5 mins bar closes below support level, I exit. I do not reverse to short. But if market resumes uptrend again after a day or two I feel hesitant to enter again fearing it will hit resistant n fall again.

But am much more comfortable in short position, I do not even give second thought to re enter if market breaks the support again. Bcoz I feel I can make a quick profits in shorts, market when moves up it goes in Stairs but when goes down it comes down in elevator.

how do you decide ur exit levels?. After all, exit point much more important than entry. Could you pls provide ur inputs on exit level?
1) The upmove builds slowly with lots of up/down....but the downmove is sudden. It is the nature of the market. The buying decision is gradual...selling is sudden, just like dumping the position.So upmove takes time to build, downmove comes tearing down, fast and ferocious.

2) If you are asking about daytrading, I use 5 min bars and I use the same chart for deciding the larger trend as well as trading the current moves. But market gives plenty of indications before it makes a move. Today from 9:40 to 12:00 Nifty was attempting to go up but every attempt its strength was falling short. Finally bulls gave up and that is where the bears seized an opportunity.

3) In trading entry is relatively easy but exit is difficult and exit is very crucial to the success or failure of a trader. The exit should be what we call "Just In Time " in management terminology ,that means not too early, not too late. This is as much an art as it is a science. I use the following to decide my exit levels.

a) Supports/resistances of hourly, daily bars.
b) Previous swing highs/lows
c) TDST Power of 9
d) VWAP Bands
e) Large bars, End of move bars
f) The bounce we get from the low
g) Overlapping bars

So based on the above the exit is taken. Booking part profits at important support levels also is a good strategy.

@ST

One question I ask you now. Not sure if I have to ask you or to ask TJ: We have the possibility to use a signature. I mean that is fine. Even I do it. Now when I go through the posts, in many cases I nearly do not see any thing else compare each time three quarter of the space of a posts is used for signature and four or five words are written as a new post in the rest of the used space.

Shouldn't it be the other way round or don't you think so? Would it make sense to cut all those abnormal huge signatures down to a normal level with clear rules about how a signature can be posted and how large it can be?

Take care / DanPickUp
Yes , signature should be short and sweet and not be like a bio-data.We must look into it.

But you sold all at 3:25, means you initiated the overnight positions at that time ?? Or did you mean you covered intraday short ?? :confused:

Hi St da,

I guess the bounce from low is the exit strategy for short trade. Am i right in this assumption ?? And for long it would be fall from high.

Should we keep that candle's high as TSL for exiting from shorts if it is rising from low and closing on the candle' s high ?? Or we should exit at the close itself ??
