Hi linuxguy,
1. The 30 min stoch charts is very important, as it identifies the trend far ahead of the others. The trades go with the long term trend, and the trend is our friend. I use them for screening my 5-6 stocks that have a bullish stoch.
I like to use CCI-20, and the 5-min stoch chart as I find it inconvenient to shift from a 5-min chart to 30-min chart since I do not trade in a single entity like Nifty Future, but I trade in multiple equities.
2. In bazaartrend as well as in investbulls we see two dark horizontal lines, which by default are 100 and -100. You have nothing to do with the line hovering around 100 and -100. e.g for a buy, for my sell signal, if it has gone above 100 to whatever, and crossed back below 100, even a fraction, I cover my position, what the line does after that I do not care !.
However, if Stoch cross over takes place and the CCI line has still not crossed the channel (i.e it is within range of 100 and -100) EXIT is a must at stoch cross-over.
Yesterday 18th Dec, Fri, and on 14th Dec, Mon, as well there was a sharp fall in Nifty. During these periods Nifty futures give a signal which is late. I Personally prefer to trade Nifty futures with Nifty spot charts (for Prides method.). Futures on an intra-day level are pure derivatives, are slower and have nothing to do do with the future, as an investment perspective
. If you traded Nifty by shorting at 1:55pm and covering at 2:55pm, you would have made a killing. I do not trade in futures yet, so my opinion is not tested well.
If we caught the wrong end of the stick by chance, we do cover immediately, the risks are still limited, as we trade in the direction of the market.
About your question on 15th Dec, you just cover at the end of the market, if you do not intend to carry over the day-trade to delivery
.
Also, I would not like to use this strategy with illiquid stocks or stocks trading less than 500k daily (I personally prefer > 1M
.
I do not recommend opening new positions after 2:45pm (as trends are influenced by square-offs).
I am also not sure about placing orders to catch the early morning trade. I like to place my orders after 10.30 am
Hope this helps.
