A technical Question for those Who are Trading with Futures?
1. For Intraday what timeframe is best for taking an Entry?
2. For Positional what timeframe is best for Taking an Entry?
I was trying a method which combines the following stuff, based on which I have been giving the BUY / SELL signals in the past one week and which seems to be working. But I want to know the ideal timeframe for taking Entry.
1. My Pivots from the MTP tool
2. Calculate the Trend using the Excel Function TREND
3. Calculate the Variance of the PIVOTS using the Excel function STEYX.
4. Plot the SUPPORT and RESISTANCE Line Below and Above the TREND Line taking also into factor AVG VOLT of the Stock from the FOVOLT (Taken from NSEIndia)
5. Depending on the timeframe you trade, if the PIVOT is formed above the RESISTANCE then it is a SELL and if the PIVOT is formed below the SUPPORT then it is a BUY.
The Important factor is taking FOVOLT which is where most of the time we get caught as to whether there was a REAL BREAKOUT or BREAKDOWN. My whole assumption for this method is to be Follow the Trend and also have a Rangebound mind... Meaning Sell when goes above the RESISTANCE and BUY when goes below SUPPORT, which also helps the BREAKOUT or BREAKDOWN. The problem with the normal BREAKOUT or BREAKDOWN system is normally people try to SELL when goes below the SUPPORT and find that it is a FALSE breakdown. If they had sold near the RESISTANCE, they can get out even in case of a FALSE breakdown.
If you folks are interested I can share the version. I have incorporated this in the OAT Pivot section. It will also show Visual Trend.... But before that I want to hear the answer to my question on what is the best timeframe to take entry for Intraday.
with this If we can combine the OAT then it will give additional view on the Direction.
And Yes another point to mention is that Normally in the Higher timeframes, it takes a lot of patience to hold on to the positions because it takes hours or Days for the position to materialize. In case of NIFTY, in the 60 minute chart, the first SELL signal was generated at 6212 on 19-Nov@11:00 AM. The Second Sell signal was generated on 19-NOV@14:06 PM @ 6210. The Third signal was generated today at 14:39 PM @ 6204.
