    Hi, well HOTELEELA is very illiquid I will not trade it for intraday or swing trading. Only 14 contracts traded for the day! That is the story with most stocks in FNO. How ever they are tradable in cash market. But that is not the case with HOTELEELA.

    Coming to your question...
    You are trading the breakout, so stops might appear a little wide
    I am checking cash market chart of the stock.
    I assume you want to trade after a breakout of previous day's range (correct me if I am wrong)

    Stop for longs = 31.65 assuming long at 32.30 cash market

    Stop for shorts = 32.15 assuming short at 31.50 cash market

    Don't take away much from above levels, just don't trade this one. And I change my stops based on intraday price structure. But this will be the plan going into tomorrow's morning trade.

    By the way, why did you choose HOTELEELA out of all these?
    All the best :)

    Hi, NR7 stands for narrow range seven i.e today is the smallest daily range of a stock as compared to previous seven days including today.

    The setup is based on the assumption that after a range contraction there is usually a range expansion phase.

    This is a breakout setup. As the range is "narrow" or small relative to stock's daily range, this breakout setup has better risk reward ratio.

    You can get all the details from Toby Crabel's book , Day Trading With Short Term Price Patterns and Opening Range Breakout.

    Cheers

    1. Nilesh, for NR7, the screener is available under "downloads trading tools" section under "Important Posts" on the left menu, that can be used to find NR7 for stocks, that you want to track. You can use "Blog Search" to find any post you like. I haven't written many, most of the posts are daily updates, not much useful.

      Elliott wave calculator has only popular retracements and projections built into it, a more indepth study is required to master it. I don't use Elliott wave principle much, as it is "predictive" in nature, I am a trend follower, tracking moving averages and price is what I focus on.

      Thanks :)

    1. I don't have specific examples here as post, see it is just a setup, trading it profitably depends on your intraday or swing trading system. Instead of focusing on one stock or index its better to trade a different stock on "same' setup :)
