Hello everyone. In order to fasten my learning curve I shall try to do this exercise wherein I shall
look at the trading day that went by and try to identify opportunities that could possible be traded.
I expect that all the seasoned and experienced traders would review the possibilities that I see.
This would do two things, if I’m wrong then I would be saved from going down the wrong lane and
if Im correct then experts would help me to fine tune the thought process.
Although it would be in hindsight and may look rosy but I’ll try to be rational.Many would even find
it useless but I think it would help beginners like me.My ultimate objective is to develop an edge
of reading the pulse of the markets, profit is secondary at the moment. For this I need to develop
my thought process in correct manner and practise the theory. I hope wonderful kind hearted
people around me would help me in this endeavour.
For all the trades I would take into consideration following factors
2. VWAP
4. Implied Volatility
5. DOW Jones future and index in real time along with other European and Asian Markets
6. VIX
7. Volume
8. Supertrend
10. RSI
11. PSAR
A. Trading time as there are specific Time Periods of the Day when there is higher probablilty of
price movements. One of the experts that I came across Mr. Ameya has been generous
enough to share this well researched timeframes of the day. These are
1. 9.30 to 10.30- The opening of Indian Market and during this time frame all major players place
their BTST and intraday orders during this time frame. This Time frame is also used by people
practising Market Profile Concept. Let it be TIME FRAME 1.
2. 12.13 to 12.30: Pre opening time for European Markets. Let it be TIME FRAME 2. Details are
under
So if anything falls within this time frame then probability would increase.
B. Any news domestic/global that would be tracked live as these may inverse the course of action
anytime.
C. Opportunity due to sudden movements: This would mostly have to do with sudden trend
reversals.
So let’s start.
Trading Opportunity 1
2. Green Candle on opening with a drop in Future OI suggesting Covering of Short Positions.
3. Huge Volume Candles greater than 120 K on 3 min time frame consecutively for first 18
minutes.
5. Above is Dow Jones Futures Chart on 5 minute Timeframe on Indian Timeframe. Dow jumped
from 26350 to 26404. Gain of 54 points till 9.30, so supportive for Bank Nifty as well.
6. VIX Opened at 29.65 and at 9.33 it was 29.24 thus decreased, so bullish.
8. Option Chain OI data I don’t have. But once I have OI tool installed I’ll use it as well. But I
remember at that moment it was not conclusive.
10. VWAP-Rising
Negative Factors: The red candle is accompanied by a big Red Volume Candle. But given the
context we may take chances. Had the volume been less than 50 K we could have had a big
position size. But clearly it is a battle going on between Bulls and bears. Bulls were very strong till
now but bears have given a sudden move, but Bulls should revert back.
So taking into consideration all the factors I think the sudden fall provides a scalping opportunity.
Entry Level: Should be beginning of the Next Candle at 9.36 i.e 20690
Result: Bank Nifty moved higher and touched its previous high again. 20500 strike bought at 695
gained a high of 766.95 in next 3 minutes.
So would be a Green Trade. Major thought process is sudden reversal in price against
background of Continuous Price Green Candles accompanied with Very high Buying Volumes and
increase in Future OI. All other things on the chart RSI, Supertrend also supportive.
Trading Opportunity 2
Lets concentrate on Red Candle at 9.45
But given strong Green Candles in morning with Increase in OI and support from Dow I must
expect some fight back by the bulls.
Price touched the sacrosanct level VWAP for first time in the day.
Though it is a big jump I would take a trade expecting some bounce back because of fighting
back by the bulls.
Result: Between 9.48 and 9.49 price pulled back to a high of 20705. So that means a gain of 35
points.
Entry would have been around price levels of 680. It gave a high of 704.9 the next minute so a
gain of 25 Rs almost. Good for scalp.
After this I would have been cautious as the fighting between Bulls and Bears might get intense
and we should watch.
At this juncture I don’t have data but still can tell that OI court Data was not conclusive so not
taken that into consideration. But my stand would be slightly bullish for the day.
After this trade the fighting got intense. Bears again broke down the VWAP.
Trading Opportunity 3
I’m not sure about this but would attempt to see this as this is something that is seen as great
opportunity.
At this juncture as can be seen from Price charts the bears are in fighting mode as can be seen
from Big Red Candles.
But overall the Bulls have built their position. So we should respect both.
RSI 46: First time during the day it has entered into Bearish territory.
At 10.18 the price has moved down away from the VWAP.
I learnt something while reading about Market Profile that during first one hour the market tries to
form Day’s Range i.e High and Low. Now if I apply that concept the Day’s High has been formed
and it is well below Yesterday’s High. So we may expect that now with Price moving down Day’s
Low should be formed.
For that it will test LOW of the day which happens to be Today’s opening price
The Black Lines represent Yesterday’s range and dotted line represents Today’s LOW till time.
1. DOW is against us
1.VIX is with us
2. Big red candles trying to bring price down though less than Green candles in favour.
Entry Level: Observe Next Candle: 10.18 Candle Green with selling wick.
Result: At 10.27 it got very near to 20431 and at 10.30 it crossed it.
