The price of Nifty Futures at 10:25 - 10:30 am was around 4500 - 4510.

This is between Pivot(4453) and R1 (4520).

So we buy above R1 and Sell below pivot.

During entire day, market was moving in the range of R1 and Pivot.

Nifty Futures made a low of 4455 (see this carefully. it is very important). It didnt go below our Pivot, so we are saved from going short.

Till 2:15 pm, the price of Nifty Futures was between Pivot and R1.

At 2:20 pm, the buy triggered at R1(4520).

0.5% Target = 4542.6 (achieved at 2:54pm).

Simply a tremendous amount of hard work here and also in another modified thread started by you.
Somehwere while going through the threads I found a clarification by you that we enter a position only when the price is above or below our entry levels for 1 to 2 minutes!!!!
Radha, with this waiting period we may at times either enter at much higher rates than desired levels , and at times the price may fall back below our entry levels and may not agin move in our direction of trade. This I am writing not to criticise your sytem or method but feel this to be a genuine matter of concern for actual traders using this system.
Thanks to R.K.Karnani (Traderji i.d: rkkarnani) and Shravan (i.d. : ccmb420) I am successfully trading the Kolkata Indicator provided benevolently by Ashish da (i.d. uashish) , while learning day trading from them I came across similar scenario.
The only way out I think is to use some chart, where in you can enter a trade if a 1 minute or 3 minute or 5 minute bar closes above or below the Pivot levles so determined by your system. It is very easy to calculate profits EOD , and belive me the scenario is not the same when trading in real time.
In an explation for RNRL you have mentined in the example you gave that the first target was achived in 1 or two minutes, but Radha we are still waiting to enter the trade during the first 1 to 2 minutes so do we miss the first target or we suitable change the exit values based on our entry levels?
IMHO we shall not reach the proper figure of return that we may get from your method by simply calculating the Pivots and seeing the traded values on a given day. I strongly feel thae we do need a reference chart and trading rules for the time frame of the chart to arrive at near correct profit figures.
My sincere apologies to all if this post is found to be offensive. I am more than willing to delete it if Radha or any senior members so desire. I reeiterate that the post is not aimed at disrupting the thread or to question the method. What I have put forward is a genuine doubt I have!!!
All the best.

Please ignor that post where i have told to enter only after waiting 1-2 minutes.
I will delete that post.

I agree if we wait our target may get achieved.

So correct way is place a stoploss buy order or stoploss sell order. So that the trade is generated as soon as the price is crossed.

Regarding you suggestion about charts, yes you can come up with such a system and suggest here. All of them can then follow it. I however had not considered charts with this system.

Again. I am a paper trader. Trade based on your risk.

most of times price jumps at pivot areas. so we should have placed our stoploss limit/market orders already

can someone a simple AFL and back test this over 2-3 years? then we will get confidence
