Sir,
The support line of this trend channel has been broken today on closing basis. However, the volumes on NIFTY index were not great, infact lowest in this week. So can this be said to be true breakout(down),atleast technically, though the markets may be pulled back into the trading range?

Amit could you please explain when you buy and sell on 4 MA? I am using (5,20) with 34 giving direction, but adding 39,84 sounds interesting, is it buy when 39 crosses 84 from bottom and 5 crosses 13 from bottom? then what about sell for the above entry, is it sell when 39 cuts 89 from the top?

Here is an astro view, http://www.vfmdirect.com/forums/show.cgi?topicid=1254346595#1254508625

as of now it looks like what he is saying is possible, though let's see.
Happy trading

Dear Mr.Sudharshan- I would like to have your vies on long term options. What I have experienced- Its simple and non complicated -if we measure technical s on long term basis.

I will give you an example- at current Nifty levels I can buy 5000 PE ( June 2011) - and wait for 2-3 months for expecting a correction- as most of the participants are expecting Or - In case we have correction and nifty drags to 4000-4500. We may buy 4000 CE ( JUNE 2011). Here i have a limited loss- in case market does not move in expected direction,however,profits are comparatively Good.Please give your views- while keeping a positional trader in your mind>>>> Regards/Manoj

HI Aurobindo & Sorry to Mr. Sudarshan

Aurobindo you are pointing your questions towards Mr. Sudarshan but I am giving just my views on your queries.

Stochastics/ADX/MACD will give additional confidence for trade. You must look for Both i.e. Moving Average and other indicator to give same signal and then you can enter the trade. This will reduce some kind of whipsaws.

Another filter you can use for Moving Averages is use 3 or even 4 Moving Averages instead of just 2. Use two big Moving Average to decided the basic trend and then enter the trade in the direction of basic trend using two small Moving Average. Myself is using EMA (89,34) for basic trend and EMA (5,13) for trade.

But one thing I must say that ADX/DMI is very very useful indicator to sit out of sideways move if you can understand this.

2009-10-01T01:21:34.605+05:30

Hi Sudarshan,

Can we use a whipsaw count as a indicator for entering the market. Say if I have rule such as

1) If 3 MVA crosses 50 MVA 2 times without yielding profit then on 3rd crossing enter the market. We may miss some opportunites but we will increase the chances of profit and avoid whipsaws. Usually after the end of a long trend , the next trend signal will definitely yield in a loss thats due to a fibonacci retracement.

2) I have heard some traders combine stochastics in trend following system to minimize the drawdown. How and when to use Stochastics. I have tried using ADX(Average Directional Index) and Stochastics. But I am not successfull.

Could you please explain how to have 2 strategies i.e., One for trend and other for sideways. I been to trying to compensate the whipsaw losses through stochastics but its not effective yet.

3) Will offsetting a moving average reduce whipsaws? I created a program to test my strategy on historical data.

Signal criteria
1)If the current closing price is greater than 21 day moving average on (current day -21)th day then go long.

2) Vice-versa for sell.

Only this strategy helped me to reduce losses and show a decent profit when run on a program.

Could you please share your views on my comment?
