ABAN nice moves to 2229.Our filter is Rs20 above pivot.Which is 2231.......meaning stops were not triggerred.
We are therefore still in ABAN shorts as of now.
Price in ABAN has put up a WRB on better than avg volumes,the high of the bar is 2229.We are now setting up a mini-pullback bar,most probably before a 1-2-3 continuation pattern to the up.
Our stops are now Rs 20 above the latest pivot high 2229+20=2249.....Price just has to take the pivots out and blast through the filter,it tells us strength,it gives us the conviction and confidence that we are right in reversing the position.This method is reactionary,not anticipatory.The filter has kept us in trades longer than expected,kept us from being faked out,etc.........And yet,sometimes when price takes out the filter and then falls....... well,part of trading.
Yes,the stops got pushed back.......and yes,it means our entry is later than the original 2231.All part of this method.........we sacrifice pennies to make pounds.
What if our stops are at 2231,price gets to 2229 and fails......now our new stop is at 2249,price gets to 2245 and fails,and then our new stops are 2265,and price gets to 2263 and fails............This can carry on ad infinitum!!
Actually not true........the fact that price does not have the strength to blast through is a sign of weakness.Most times than not,after a few such attempts,there is a big fall,and all's well.If it doesn't.......there is strength and if price blasts through,we are only too happy to oblige and shift directions.
So,coming to the point,our stops at 2231 were not taken out.High of 2229.New stops at 2249.
