If the market in oversold zone opens with a gap up and holds the high prices for first 60 min and then market starts going higher than the high of first 60 min , it is an indication that the short term bottom is in place and we will build on the gap open further gains.
There was a chance that in the afternoon session bears will use high levels to sell but as it did not happen, the bulls had no threat till the end.

ST da,
If you have traded today , please tell where your entry would have been.
I was not able to see any pvts for entry after the sideways breakout from morning till afternoon.
Can we use aggressive pvts in such situations.

I follow a different defination of pivots...also I trade on 3 min charts. So for me there were pivots today.
Use sideways consolidation and breakout to buy. The method is for our guidence. We should never be slaves of the system. If the market is going up or down then we must buy/sell...use sideways consolidations, 2 bars method,aggressive pivots....anything to buy.
The method includes most of the possibilities but it cannot include all 100 % of the possibilities which the market throws at us and that is why we need to use our judgement. In such cases I use my best judgement and take an entry at the best possible point and then keep a 15-20 points stoploss.
I find many saying they did not get an entry on their system though the market went up by 100 points. I dont trade that way.We should be in command of the system and not its slave.But every trader may have different views on following the system too rigidly and I dont want to get into arguments on this issue...each to his own.So if there is no entry, then dont take a trade or use something else.
