Hi Nick,
Open up your Bharti Airtel weekly charts.......Till the Oct 12th week,2007,we have an uptrend on the weekly charts.........higher pivot highs and lows.Strategy on the weekly uptrend:Every time you get a decline,each candle making lower highs and lows,the first candle that breaks last week's high,BUY!
From Oct 12th to March 19th week,2008,Bharti is putting in lower pivot highs and lows.......meaning Bharti is in an intermediate downtrend.Strategy:Either short the rally using the above strategy,or if only interested in longs as in position trading,you stay clear and wait for an intermediate uptrend to reemerge.In a downtrend,you can't buy over last week's high........you wait till weekly triggers an uptrend.
March 19th till now,it's trying to get back into uptrend territory,there are some trades off the daily charts,but still not an intermed uptrend ..Strategy if you are a position trader:Nothing.You are looking for the magic number of 979 to cross that would trigger an intermed uptrend.
So basically,decline within an uptrend,buy the previous bar high on the weekly chart.Downtrend,wait for a previous pivot high and then only dare to enter.These 2 statements are with reference to the weekly chart only.
