Price Action Trading Method.

@pdeoghare,

S/R should jump out at you. A 10 yr old should be able to identify S/R levels. Most importantly if you see flips in S/R levels, those are key levels. Watch price action there.

About stock selection. like i said if you pick a low price stock, you will need a large order to make any kind of profit and it will be difficult to get a large order filled. By large order i mean in hundreds or even thousands. e.g any stock who price is less than 200-300. For these kinds of stocks best to trade in futures. Another thing about stock selection , pick the ones which have good volume. use any site like money control , you will get a nice big list. There are some stocks which are less liquid and the same thing happens either your orders don't get filled or your stops will be skipped, which is dangerous to your account. There are about good 20 stocks along with NIFTY , that provide good volume. use NSE site for picking most active stocks , F&O.

If and when you decide to trade with nice big account, you simply cannot trade low price stocks on 5-15 min time frame. your orders are just not going to get filled. you can try this, but try not to lose money. :)

So did anyone catch a good move today?:D
Thanks for the explanation on S/R levels.
My aim is to trade in futures of stocks between 200-300 (where 1 lot = 1000). So I will keep practicing on Bhel, SesaGoa, DLF and few more nifty stock so i have a good understanding. Its ok if I do not make money in cash market on them. Lets see how it works out.

I use icharts that is a webbased charting tool. Its cheap, hasslefree and most of the major tools are available at a click.

TD,

How come 197, 5105 and 5145 are round numbers?

What is a round number, as per your trading conventions?
197 is not a round no.

any number ending with 0 or 5 is a round no.

From wikipedia..

However, a round number is informally considered to be an integer that ends with one or more zeroes (0), such as 1,000, 1,500,000, etc., and a number ending in 5 might be considered in a way more "round" than one ending in neither 0 nor 5. Even a non-integer such as 2.5 might be seen as more round than, say, 2.497 (especially if written as 2.500).
I have no convention. but what i have learned is that price reacts @ numbers ending with 00 , 25, 50 , 75. This is applicable in stocks , futures and forex.

Hope that helps.

Ok.. as per the above, 5105 and 5145 can not be round numbers (please refer
to your previous posts) and as such can not be a contributing factor towards
confluence..?
