These are the values shown by Excel sheet for Nifty futures.

RANGEBOUND
BUY ABOVE TARGET
0 6182.85
5921.15 6182.85

SELL BELOW TARGET
6034.2 5921.15
6182.85 5921.15

And Support is 5921.15 and Resistance is 6182.85.

Nifty was between Support and Resistance during whole of the day.

Please pay attention to two aspects here.

1.Buy above 5921.15 for a target of 6182.85
2.Sell below 6034.2 for a target of 5921.15



There are some important areas demarked for trading.

From 5921.15 to 6034.20 (bearish area)
From 6034.20 to 6182.85 (bullish area)

I think you can now visualise your STOPs. Infact, it is STOP and REVERSE point.

u mean 2 say the stoploss is always the same entry point?can u please explain in detail n maintainin stoploss..if m not troubling you can u modify that excel sheet and mention stoploss in it?
Razx5,

Please study the chart in the following link. Pay attention to the remarks shown on the chart. You can do even without stop loss if you understand the chart thoroughly. If you find in understanding the chart, feel free to post your querries. Timing the entry is crucial and precise. No second guessing about entry and exits. If you want to trade for big return, keep a wider Trailing SL, but the problem with this is that you will have to take bitter pills more number of times as your profits will be wiped out by reversals. A filter is discussed there which is very effective in avoiding wrong entries. Study last 10 days charts by drawing resistance/support lines on them. Make out which is the minimum target reached after trade triggered. Accordingly, fix your profit targets and book your profits. Donot expect to reach Tgts as shown by excel sheet. Excel shows zones. Finally, always keep a track of Nifty Spot which is crucial when trading Futures.


Cheers.
