📈 Mastering Price Action: The Complete Guide to Trading Patterns
🚀 Applying Trading Strategies in Real Market Scenarios
After learning about triangles, wedges, rounding patterns, and continuation formations like flags and pennants, the most crucial step is practical application.
🔹 Live Trading Example: CIPLA
A potential buy trade in CIPLA was identified based on a flag formation. Here’s how a structured trade setup was created:
📌 Entry Point: Buy at market price based on the pattern breakout. 📌 Target: ₹25 per share profit (as per price action projection). 📌 Stop Loss: Set at ₹1246, or based on ATR (Average True Range).
Key Lesson: Trading requires structured entry and exit points, with risk management in place.
🏆 The Importance of Practice in Trading
📌 Trading is a Skill, Just Like Any Profession
A doctor takes 8 years to get certified, including education and house-staffing.
A lawyer studies for years before handling cases.
A cricketer practices for 10-14 years to reach the professional level.
📌 Why Should Trading Be Any Different?
Many beginners expect quick results in 1-6 months without practice.
The truth? Trading requires consistent learning, backtesting, and market observation.
🔥 Practical Tip: Start with Paper Trading
Use simulated trading platforms to practice without real money.
Build confidence in pattern recognition before risking actual capital.
🔹 Lesson: Treat trading like a profession, not a lottery. The more you practice, the better you get.
📉 Real Market Example: Bearish Pennant Breakdown
📌 Penance Pattern in a Downtrend
A pennant formation was observed in Birla stock and Bosch, signaling a downward continuation.
Trade Setup:
Wait for breakdown confirmation before shorting.
Set targets based on pattern depth.
📌 Why This Matters?
Bearish pennants allow traders to short stocks effectively.
Just as flags predict continuation in uptrends, pennants do the same in downtrends.
🔹 Lesson: Always wait for the breakout before entering trades. Predicting too early can lead to losses.
📚 Do You Need Books to Learn Trading?
📌 Modern Markets Have Changed
Traditional books teach outdated strategies like 1:1 risk-reward, which is not effective in today’s market.
Books suggest 15% stop losses, which are too high for real-world trading.
📌 Real Trading Requires Practical Experience
A structured approach (like ATR-based stop-losses) is more effective.
Books give theory, but live market experience refines skills.
🔹 Lesson: Use books as a reference, but focus on market-tested strategies and live trading experience.
