Now I learnt something totally new from this post of yours. Very interesting...
First, after getting a higher pivot low in an uptrend, I should not wait for the higher pivot high to form......Infact to max profits I shud enter when the scrip trades few rupee above the prev pivot high......But Saint, doesn't it violate the fact that we should buy as close to the support as possible.....Esp I'm asking b'coz it may so happen that I bought as soon as the prev pivot high is overtaken and after sometime the price retraces back and hits my stoploss.
DJ,it's like this............lower pivot high,lower pivot lows,lower pivot highs,lower pivot lows(aka dntrend),then a higher pivot low(hmmm....are we going up from here?No trade yet.....just a thought!!),now it goes past that previous pivot high(BUY!!).......We have our uptrend,we enter long,we put our stops below the pivot low,and then spent next few days to weeks raising stops till stopped.
Trading trends......we try to get in once we get a break above the previous pivot highs........no talking supports and resistances.Basically that previous pivot high is resistance,thereby the pullback to form a higher pivot low,and then a breakout over that resistance........Focus your attention to the Pivots,rest will take care by itself.
And yes,my friend,in trading,we buy the breakout over prev pivot highs,putting that stop loss at prev pivot lows and we get taken out sometimes........and when we don't,we earn big.......all part of the game!
Second, the exit strategy you suggested was really very good. That of consulting daily charts while trading the weekly and take a call when pivot breakdown happens in the daily.
