The Real Skill in Intraday? Knowing When Not to Trade!Hello Traders! Everyone talks about entries, indicators, and setups — but very few focus on the most underrated skill in intraday trading: Knowing When NOT to Trade . Believe it or not, avoiding bad trades is just as powerful as taking good ones. Let’s explore how mastering “no trade zones” can save your capital and improve your win rate. Why Sitting Out is Sometimes the Best Strategy Choppy or Range-Bound Market: If the price is stuck between tight levels with no clear trend, avoid getting chopped in both directions. Unclear Price Action: If you don’t see your setup or price is not reacting clearly to support/resistance, it’s better to wait. Major News Ahead: Big economic events or earnings reports can lead to unpredictable moves — best to trade after dust settles. How to Identify “No Trade Zones” Inside Previous Day Range: If today’s price is stuck inside yesterday’s range without volume, wait for breakout or breakdown. Flat CPR + Low VIX: Flat Central Pivot Range and low volatility means sideways market — avoid buying breakouts or fake moves. Too Many Fake Breakouts in First Hour: If the first 15–30 minutes show traps on both sides, market might stay indecisive. Rahul’s Tip “No trade is also a trade.” Waiting for the right setup is what separates a beginner from a pro. Trade when the market allows — not when you feel like it. Conclusion Intraday trading is not just about action — it’s about timing. Learn to recognize noise, avoid emotional trading, and protect your capital by sitting out when needed. Discipline isn’t just holding a position — it’s knowing when to stay flat. Have you started skipping low-quality setups? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

This 1 Mistake Traders Make After 10:30 AM – Don’t Be That guy!Hello Traders! You’ve planned your trade, waited for price action, and taken a position… but somewhere after 10:30 AM, everything starts falling apart. If you’re wondering why your trades stop working post 10:30, you're not alone. Today, let’s talk about the most common mistake intraday traders make after 10:30 AM — and how to avoid it! The Most Common Mistake: Chasing Breakouts Without Confirmation Market Momentum Fades After 10:30 AM: The opening volatility usually settles by 10:15–10:30 AM. If a breakout happens after that, it needs stronger confirmation — else it's likely a trap. False Breakouts Increase: Institutions fade late entries. Retailers jump in too late, and the market reverses. Low Volume Breakouts = Failure Risk: If a breakout happens with low volume post 10:30, it’s often just premium trap or stop-loss hunting. What You Should Do Instead Wait for Retest or Strong Volume Confirmation: Never chase a move. Let price break, retest, and then trade with a proper SL. Focus on Range-Bound Strategies Post 11 AM: If market is inside a range, shift to option selling, scalping near VWAP or CPR. Check Option Chain for OI Shift: If there’s no OI change or reversal pressure building, skip the trade altogether. Rahul’s Tip After 10:30, the market starts filtering out emotional traders. Be the one who trades based on logic — not FOMO. Sideways traps are silent killers. Conclusion Intraday success depends on timing + logic. Don’t be that guy who chases breakouts after 10:30 AM without confirmation. Instead, observe market behavior, wait for quality entries, and protect your capital.
