@ Savant Sir,Anant Sir,
After your guidance i went short looking at BB and 20SMA with 5 min candlestick chart in BankNifty.
its pretty awesome how the 20SMA was not breached.Just attached the chart.
1) SHorted at point 1 in the chart.
2) panicked but held on at point 2 booked at 20
3) Went long looking at the oversold RSI and took a bet and got lucky.
Do you think it was a good trade.And please look at the chart setup is it good?
You Certainly got 'lucky' Aditya. And Here's why,
1) The chart image could not be downloaded and by the look of what I saw on the web, your RSI never reached the oversold zone. Though it was near it.
2) The point to short sell was not 1. At point 1 though your SMA provided resistance, there was not enough bearish confirmation. (The bearish confirmation could have come in the form of bearish engulfing pattern or deep dark cloud cover).
3) The ideal time to short was at point 2 where resistance by the average was confirmed by a proper bearish engulfing pattern along with level of RSI. If you look at the chart, after this level the prices moved down more easily and quickly. In this scenario you would have certainly not panicked.
The best candlestick technical signals come when a price level is confirmed as a potential resistance zone by either a MA, BB or prev resistance level. Reversal patterns along these levels are more 'probable' to go in your favor.
