Thanks a lot Saint for sharing your process with us. As usual, I have a few questions if you dont mind:
1. The last Pivot high on daily was at 1370... where I guess one shd have entered ( as per 123 pattern). Pl educate.
2. Now, when we see a higher pivot low ( in this case 1219) forming on the daily, wouldnt it be better to buy if the share closes above the high of that PL day... in this case 1298? The logic is our risk-rew would be better in such case... i.e Buy 1317 (close above 1298) Sl 1219. I say this bec I have an impression that if we buy as per 123 pattern, the Sl still remains the last pivot low of 1219...( unless its a quikie with sl below low of previous 2 bars).
Yes... this will give us more false entries (success rate will be down) but the risk-rew will be considerably up thus compensating for it.
Kindly let me know your views on this.
Sorry for bothering you with silly doubts.

Rakesh,
I got in today at 1328........could we have got in earlier?Yes.......fine tune to 60min charts and you will get a different perspective.Probably could have entered around 1280-ish.
Keep stops at the same pivot low as of daily charts..
Could this give you a few false entries?Yes......Although doing a bit of anticipating , yet you are not blindly getting into something with no rationale.......You have a daily chart that is setting up a higher pivot low,you have a 60min base breaking out,you presume that this will go on to make new highs.You take the trade......Taking it there also allows you also to get in with more shares.Could the trade be proven wrong?Maybe.......maybe not.
And then add on a breakout on daily charts,and keep adding once you get a confirmed intermed uptrend as well.
If a beginner is not up to it,or it seems confusing in the beginning,stick to the "buy over pivot highs on the daily" rule....nothing wrong in that!More importantly,once in,squeeze every last drop from the trend.
As always a great question from you,Rakesh....
Happy Trading!
