One of my biggest lessons market taught me, read description.I always wanted more from the swing trades I took and I failed to recognise the right target for my trade which many times lead to the stock going down from a major resistance or a trend reversal because of the resistance zone because of which i had to lose a winning trade many times and with time and practice i realised what is best for me is to sell that stock in a major resistance if there is no sign if it will break the resistance such as accumulating volume, anyway i can buy the stock back if it manages to break the resistance , in the reference chart also we can see two major trend reversals because of the resistance.

Trend Continuation PatternBullish Flag Chart Pattern: Tata Chemicals
Description:
The flag represents a brief pause in a dynamic market move & one of the requirements for a flag pattern is that it should proceed by a sharp and almost straight-line move.
It represents situations where a step advance or decline has gotten ahead of itself, and where the market pauses briefly to "catch its breath " before running off again in the same direction.
Construction of Flag & Pole pattern:
The flag resembles a parallelogram or rectangle market by two parallel trendlines that tend to slope against the prevailing trend.
The flag usually occurs after a sharp move & represents a brief pause in the trend.
The flag should slope against the trend. Volume should dry up during the formation & built again on the breakout .
How to trade flag and pole patterns:
The sideways period is often followed by another sharp rise. This is where the trading opportunity comes in. Once the flag pole and a flag or have formed, traders watch for the price to breakout above the upper flag/trend line. When this occurs, enter a long trade.
Conclusion:
1-Flag patterns are a commonly used technical analysis tool and majorly a choice of breakout traders and swing traders.
2- Flag is formed when there is a minor profit booking in either an uptrend or a downtrend.
3- The pole is formed by a line that represents the primary trend in the market.
4- It is important that flags are preceded by a sharp advance or decline.
IRON FLY STRATEGY FOR NIFTY 10 MAR EXPIRYIron Fly is a non directional strategy that works very well in a sideways market. I was of the view that the market would be sideways for the reasons mentioned in the video. This worked very well for the weekly expiry and it is used very often in confusing markets such as this.
This was one of my first attempts at vocally explaining strategies so I may not have been as clear in the details.
Let me know if you have any questions about this strategy in the comments. Please LIKE if you would want to see more content like this. :)

Idea: Important Lessons to be learntGreetings of the day...!!!
Sharing one case where we almost paid the penalty of not listening to chart...
Some days earlier we recommended a short in idea around 78 for targets of 76 and 74
Things were going good and our 1st target was achieved within hours....
Booking partial profits when target 1 was achieved was good but there after... There were some elementary mistakes that we should have taken care of and should have avoided...
Here were some mistakes that we made...
sharing so that one can learn and avoid those mistakes and make himself/herself a better trader ....
1. Should have trailed SL to 78.30 instead of keeping it at 79.60
Looking at the charts will suggest the importance of 78.30
The stock came out of the falling channel....
The message was clear....Chart was telling us loud and clear.... EXIT EXIT EXIT
There was a clear indication and ample time to exit from short position at cost itself for balance position... but we did not obey what charts were telling us...
Even at 79.60 we should have exited but were adamant and expecting the stock to fall because of bias of our postion may be & We almost paid the penalty as the stock went up to 83 thereafter
but luckily for us, again charts were at rescue and suggested not to panic but add short position again and we did so around 82.25
And today we were able to book profit at 79.70 and 78.80 respectively (our avg cost of open position was 80.125)
Lesson to be learnt
If we are looking at charts for our trade we should Listen to charts completely...
and not let our will / expectation / ego to come in between, beacuse our expectation always has a desire attached to it and we become bias which is not good ....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So yes, Although the trade has given good profits overall ...we r not happy with the way we earned but I sign off thanking and respecting charts for helping and bailing us out this time...
Regards & Take care...!!!
