Hi Raghavji,
Thanks for a great thread. I am fairly new, so please pardon me if my question is silly. In this schart referred to above on page 9
http://www.traderji.com/day-trading/40980-my-daytrading-9.html, you said that there is only one signal for the trend follower, but I am seeing too many signals (ignorance pershaps? sorry)...so please clarify this for me if you have the time. on 20th morning there is an Upper BB piercing in the morning, but after that there are many lower BB piercings which give the signal to go long. So should the person who shorted in the morning not have covered at the lower BB piercings. I think I might be missing a piece of the puzzle here. Please help.
Dear Gsam,
Beleiving that you understand the difference between a trend follower and a scalper, The trend follower has only one signal as the price remained below 40 EMA for the entire period in question.Trend follower will look for longs only once price remains/sustains above 40 EMA for a considerable period.
Hi Raghavji,
In this Tatasteel chart here
http://www.traderji.com/day-trading/40980-my-daytrading-10.html why is it that you are not exiting the short in the lower band piercings? Is it because of ST's 5 Candles in OS rule? I am relatively new to trading and very new to this forum. Your thread is very informative for a newbie like me. Sorry for the silly question, but I am stuck here I think. Thanks for the help.
Again its about trend.Why I do not exit on pierce of lower BB is that ,It has not given any signal of reversals. Weak bull candles suggest continuance of the existing short trend.
One more question please. Sorry to be bombarding this thread with so many questions, I am trying to learn this system and getting lost. Please help.

http://www.traderji.com/day-trading/40980-my-daytrading-10.html what was the decision making process for the entry for the short? I thought the rule was not to enter when in OB or OS. I will wait till you respond before reading further to avoid too many questions. Forgive my ignorance, thanks.
Gsam,
Its ok. I will be happy to answer the questions as long as you have keenness to learn and an intention to do rigorous homework.I am tough, I talk harsh because I do not want you people to go through the same misery that I have gone through.How far you go in this method and how far you will be sucessfull in this method depends upon how best you can work and practice and observe.

The answer for this question is
1. _Ve divergence ,(higher high in price lower high in stock)
2.Low risk
3.Weak bull candles unable to break the high of the day for the second time
4.BB piercing 2 candles.
------------------------------------------------
Note :I did use BB earlier.However I did not get as much as success as anticipated(Its my personal.It may work wonderfully for some one).Hence took out everything on the Price chart and now I use only Stoch below the price window panel.Price action is the key for me.I have already mentioned my 4 pillars of trading.
Since Columbus is master of BB ,kindly ask BB related questions to him going forward.
