Trade 0006 -3 STAR TRADE

1. Date 04-June-2012 

2.Market - NSE Nifty Futures Contract

3.Amount committed  - 4 Lots of Nifty Futures 

4.Why did you do the trade 

Formation of  Bullish engulfing pattern at 4800  confirmed the support formed by previous bullish engulfing pattern at same level .Target of more than 100 points confirmed risk reward 1:5 .Bullish engulfing pattern: - lowest low of two sessions   near to 4800 can be used as protective stops.

Typically correction end at 78.6% and bullish reversal of stochastic  reveal the long trades.Formation of bullish engulfing pattern in 60 min chart  and morning star in daily chart confirmed the long trade. 

Once  the gap got filled it was long from 4840 onwards (Fig).Low of the Gap wan be used as stop loss.

5.Entry price- 4840

6.Risk  - 40 points 

7.Initial Target - 4890 /4950 /5020/5120/5180 -(Daily timeframe support and resistance)

8.Exit Price  - 

Just exited 1 lot at 4890/4950/5020 level.I just used higher timeframe resistance to exit and achieve my profit objectives.

Kept the 4th Lot and exited @5180 level bcoz got good level to exit .

However JNSAR and trailing stop loss between  between 3 sma and 12 sma still favours long.

9.Analyze the trade -

I got my level  as planned to exit. I managed my risk at 4th Lot and got higher level to exit.

10. Postmortem -

JNSAR and trailing stop loss between  between 3 sma and 12 sma favours long.However I closed my last lot 5180 level.

I had intention to add LONG again if market move back in my favour.Resistance at 5180 (Bearish engulfing pattern) and gap at 5219 and 5225 were important resistance. Later these level got cleared @29-June-2012
