Where amteuers acts to book profit,
Pros acts to #ScaleIn

When amateurs concentrate on P&L screen,
Pros r busy managing risk

While Pros r riding the trend till it ends
amateurs r busy looking for nxt scrip to trade

The difference is the planning on how to manage a trade. Experienced traders would concentrate on each and every trades to maximise on it's gain there by converting winner into a big winner
The method is scaling In they use
Once trade starts moving in their favour, they will methodically use to increase their position size.
While price makes minor Pullback, they try to plan to add into their existing position while it regain the trend strength to move strongly in prior direction. The method is totally based on the fact that since trade is already moved on their favour, additional risk comes from the profit already made so that in case of worst scenario, it will make only cost to cost exit.

This way of not risking additional capital in the form of scaling in, they manage their trade professionally. They does this multiple times, each time all the additional risk amount comes completely from the profit already made. This makes a leak proof plan to protect the capital while maximizing the profit

They repeat this approach on every single trade and large majority of their winners would end up as big winners. In that attempt few of the winners end up as cost to cost exit. That doesn't make any loss to them.
Likewise they value every single trade the same way to squeeze maximum out of every opportunity.
This will largely reduce the number of trades, which leave him able to concentrate on very few trades with lesser overall costs and charges

That's process, that's the winning formula

No matter how much intimidating market is
It fails to scare me day in and day out
Not becoz I win the war against it
It's becoz
I know exactly what would I loose in case I fail
And I keep it to a very manageable sum every time

U shouldn't treat trading as a war against market.
Because u have no role in deciding the outcome ever.
It's always the market which gives the outcome irrespective of what's Ur position.
The problem in treating it as war against market is u loose ur flexibility an ego takes over.
U tend not to admit when u r wrong.

Identifying when u r wrong, and how quickly u do it is a very important factor.
Becoz, u need to act upon it as fast as u can.
That's the way to cut down the losses to minimum.
Otherwise how much u loose goes out of our hands and when winners happens it won't be enough to compensate for Ur loses.
That's recipe for disaster.

U should always try to move along with market.
In technical terms it's called trend following.
And whenever the calculated trend goes wrong, u should admit it. Again technically it's called 'keeping SL strict'.

In case u fail to admit that, what happens is
'averaging the loser'
or
'holdin position in big lose and hav no plan to deal with'.
These both leads to Ur agony and peril
its my first chart
after taking up TA seriously & decided to learn it systematically on september 2015. Its been 5 years now
Voltas - made a high volume breakout into new highs in september series. pric fell back to first major demand zone after taking out all weak longs
Heromoto - Not much supply was there last week. recovered fast. strong demand from first major demand zone
grasim

price once again founs trong demand from the breakout players from the past
nice strcture
2 approaches in managing profitable trades.

1. scale into the winners;
while doing it 30-40 of them becomes huge winners,
while others end up as exit at cost/minor loss

2. stick to RR from entry.
once meet it, exit.

compare urself
and
identify the Ur edge.

First needs better trade management skills and leads to higher overall performance
While fixed RR method is less stressful and have more measurable performance
when i adressed the suggestions from telegram channel,
one request was to write about wave theory and time theory in ichimoku

here is a very short book by Nicole Elliott discuss everything about ichimoku

https://www.amazon.in/Ichimoku-Charts-introduction-Harriman-Trading-ebook/dp/B004M183CA

very crisp & clear explnation
very short too
BataIndia

price is squeezing and it seeminglt trying to move up now
from volume pattern, there is an attempt for new imbalance
might move up from here
At any given moment,
thr r bullish and bearish factors. weight them objectively.
whichever out weighs the other
will lead the trend.

Practically that's how trend analysis works.
There is nothing completely bullish or completely bearish
U need to assess the best possible scenario.
If u put that into perspective,
logically u would find that
Scrips trading near 52 week highs have highest chances of being bullish and
Scrips near to 52 week lows have majority of factors favouring bearish trend

Analysis become complex as u mov away from both these categories

Trailing stoploss methods for long trades

1. A fixed percentage of correction from the latest highs
2. A short term moving average like 20/30 EMA
3. Latest swing low
4. Rising vwap in day trading
5. ATR based stops such as Chandelier Stop
cements cos

acc - clearinng the resistances
ambuja - high vol Bo fell back to BO level to catch remaining demand
ramcocem - strong BO from a compression zone

All looks nicely poised to make a decisive upmove
