Nifty impatient after a running correction.

Nifty consolidated well below the 5180 mark @ 5090-5145 and pushing higher. It will be interesting to see how it deals with this big resistance zone. "5090" becomes a bearish trigger.
5200-5250 a strong resistance.
This looks more like a "5th" wave set up when read with "macd". It could develop into a "Negative divergence trade in two days time. Presently playng a "long". Also note the "short term moving average(7hour) converging towards the long term average(35hour) and then slowly diverging and setting up what is called - "Fast rise scenario". And the market obliged.
The normal TA parameters have not changed to bearish after "OB" conditions and market did a time correction and moving higher..

Dear Ilango,
1. Is it possible for stoch to be 100% both in 5 and 15Ds ? Some like Grasim and ACC are exhibiting such status. The Divergence is +ve.
2. In case of an OB signal,the Divergence has to be +ve and
3. In case of an OS signal,the same has to be -ve for trade action ? Is my understanding correct? Also
4. Is it enough to check the ST divergence for Day trading?
5. What if the divergence are not as in 2 and 3 above with OB/OS status ?

Kindly advise at leisure.

Hi..Rajagopal,

1. Stochastics generally will not be 100% as the closing is generally below the 5 or 15 period range except in a rare case of continuous upper freezes.

2. When you have a "OB" signal, you start looking for -ve divergences to initiate a sell from such a "overbought" zone.

3. When you have a "OS" signal, you start looking for +ve divergences to initiate a Buy from such a "oversold" zone.

4. When the day is "OB", look for a divergence to trade downwards as it happened with Nifty @ 5148....the daily was "OB" but the hourly displayed -ve div. However, by not closing below day ema(Close), the sell was not severe.

5. Divergences are excellent to make the "biggest money" but "Jesse Livermoore" lost everything because of the "persistent divergence" taking up more time and after pushing him out of all his positions, the market fell in a massive way. That was an irregular correction which went beyond the top of the uptrend and then fell big.
To play divergences, one needs patient and need to build position in a "pyramiding" way as the confirmation starts to appear everyday.

Post Oct.08 low of 2252, there was a + divergence (which has to be seen on a "Close price" chart only as all oscillators are based on close prices.) and market gave 2 to 10 baggers. Besides 11% rule was playing big which happens once in 4-6 years.(Good Stocks available @ 11% of their peak value...Money Control site gives such statistics)

Diwali-2009 offered an excellent -ve divergence.

Jan.2008 peak was accompanied by -ve divergences.

Once you are sure of it, play options to make it big...

This strategy is on top of my trading methods and you can read about it in the link below:

Keep such methods in your arsenal but use them only when they are ready and mature.

Thank you Ilango. As you have spotted, I am trying the futures front to balance my "sit tight" attitude with "frozen trade" situation. Your advise is just fantastic - this KG student could grasp it. Now I must learn to identify the price/EMA movement required to expect -ve or +ve divergence on borderline cases with OB/OS status.
Will work on it. It is promising. Please take care of health.

Hello Ilango and all other blogmates,

GOOD MORNING ..................

@ Ilango, Not well ? Take care.

@alpesh,

I has advised to exit shorts yesterday. Even on Wednesday, my comment was to exit if it closes above High ema and specifically told on some quiery to exit shorts.

The reason being very simple: when you see price not showing any weakness after taking shorts, do not sit with it for long time. You will then miss the current action.

Viren's VAH @ 5130 should have atleast alerted you to exit at close.

@ Bala,

Without chart..you can keep a notebook and do the calculations and even have a graph sheet like I did for 5 years before I got a computer.. :)

Hi..Sanjay,

Whenever such High OI is built in a series, market has had a good rally and that series is never visited again.
From 5000PE, now to 5100PE, this looks like market definitely not going to 5000 and may not also go to 5100(We have had a 4 days of support forming here).
So even if a correction sets in either from Monday or Tuesday, the maximum fall may be upto 5100.

A bearish trigger is established @ 5090.

Good work, Sanjay.

And Viren...

I hope readers follow your VAH, POC & VAL values and keep them in mind on those indecisive days to guide them.

Thank you all.
