Since we're talking about sideways markets and breakouts here's something most of you will find interesting. Great for beginners.

Dear Sudarshan would you have anything to say about how to look at the volume action along with price in the Indian markets. Anything in volume or any other indicator which denotes institutional activity or leads price movement. We'd appreciate your inputs on the topic.

RIL has not been performing off late, any suggestions for an investor is it a buy on declines or avoid completely? What should basically be the difference between an investor and a trader for such stocks?

Hi Sudarshan ji
Another great article from you!!
Yes trading ranges offer great setups and are fairly easy to identify than other chart patterns like head and shoulders etc (which look different in different time frames)
I have been recently reading about Elliott waves...and made a crude kind of a calculator to predict Elliott wave price projection
While doing research I found that wave 2 retraces wave one ...and prior to that we have ABC corrective wave....all these waves combined broadly, forms a TRADING RANGE...and the we take the range off in the form of wave 3(the biggest wave)
Although I dont trade by EW I am a big fan of Trading Ranges...and you article is enlightening...I will save you article now like many I have done in the past...and keep reading time and again to refresh my memory
Best wishes.

Sir,

earlier I learned from you that buying or selling on the first pullback after breakout gives one of the best risk reward ratio.

The possibility that the pullback may not come by is there but more often than not, there is a pull back.

I have been trying to condition myself to not take the trade unless I identify a pull back - Slow stochastic is one of the indicators I use for pullbacks. Another advantage of using a pullback is that it forces you to watch the market patiently. At any rate, I believe one must not trade under pressure of missing out an opportunity .. there will always be other opportunities as long as you have managed ur capital well.

Also in my experience, c is the option that erodes capital the most.

All this I have learned from you only, and thank you for that ...

I don't think c is a good option.

step into the range to wait for the break out could mean a longer than expected waiting period, or worse still break out in the wrong direction.
