This is the same chart you have posted. The green vertical line is the point we initiate a trade and the red vertical line is where we exit. I have drawn a green horizontal line on the charts at the point of initiation of the short trade (the rates as seen on the right side of the chart is 3625. I have also marked some red horizontal dotted lines on the charts. These are corresponding to the highest pivot above 36 EMA. These effectively become your trailing stop loss. So the premise is that you get out of this short trade, once the last pivot high above 36EMA is taken out. So effectively the shorts at 3625 could very effectively managed by bringing SL down to 3613/3601/3595/3588 before finally exiting at 3557 when the trailing SL gets hit. Similarly the 36EMA line could also have been use for adds, by adding to ones position on break of the lowest pivot low below 36EMA before last crossover. Is all this understood then only i will go further to address SAI ji's querry. So basically what i have done in this example are 2 things. First i have not given away points by waiting for my SL to be hit above 200 EMA (at 3567 i.e 10 more points) because 36EMA line is very important for me ( I treat it as a dynamic trendline remember) a breach of the earlier pivot high above 36EMA signifies that maybe the trend has exhausted and we might be in for a reversal (at least a short term reversal) Is this clear ? and secondly by use of this trailing method i have been able to milk almost the whole move.
