that was for the OPEN TRADE....9:55-10:00
same thing, when market reopens after outage 11:25-11:30 - same strategy for OPENINGS!!!
but i have noticed, that usually, after re-opening, see in what direction it opens with a spurt... initiate in that direction (it sustains quite a distance) for scalp or trail or combien both, as per your comfy
i wish sun outages / breaks happen thru out the year...
good for open strategies + lunch can be had early, instead of 4pm
;-)
really wish this becomes permanent like
all other asian markets.... they have such breaks DAILY... don't know the reason, though...
my main intention behind these two opening strategies is to remove the "speculation" part as much as possible...
these "momentum / volume driven" time zones remove the "toss of a coin" element, which is usually the case for most of the trading day (for intraday traders & scalpers)...
that's why (for other time periods), picking the right level for entry (as discussed in LIBRARY thread) becomes that more important... and entry should be in such a way that it's as close as possible to THAT level, so that risk/loss is minimum....
regarding TBQ:TSQ, well, TBQs were more at open... only after falling below 3900, i noticed TSQs more in both BIG & mini... and this scenario remained through out the day... so, it was mostly a sell-on-rise day...
check out 1 min chart's RSI... there was selling whenevr it neared 65-70 band... check out 5 min chart...
that's why, I wanted to clarify - TBQ:TSQ will NEVER tell you when to enter, but it gives one an idea in what direction should most of one's trades be in...
and it's the change that matters... for eg, at around 1:07, it crossed an important level/pivot at that time 3883, but it proved to be a whipsaw....
i did not go long at that time, because i saw TSQs were STILL MORE than TBQs by quite a margin in both Big & Mini.... i ignored it....
so, TBQ, TSQ should just be considered at BO levels... that also as a visual confirmatory indicator... nothing else....
NO ONE CAN TRADE OR ENTER POSITIONS BY LOOKING AT TBQ:TSQ DIFFERENCE....and no one should.....
what i have mentioned is only a special case to be used during first few mins. of trading day...
THE CHART LEVELS FORMING ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE SHOULD BE THE MAIN/PRIME REASON FOR ONE'S ENTRY IN A TRADING POSITION...
rest of indicators are secondary, and only for visual confirmation fo direction
TBQ TSQ is of tertiary importance... to be used only on special periods of trade....NOT ALL THE TIME...
