What’s the Best Way to Avoid Chasing Price in Intraday Trades?

”I always seem to enter right before the move ends. How do I stop chasing?”

Chasing is reacting to what already happened. Professionals trade structure—key levels where value is accepted, where institutions position, where auctions resolve. They position before the move, not after.

”How do I identify structure on my charts?”

Vtrender Live Charts highlight IB/IS levels that set the day’s auction, Market Profile value areas where institutions accept price, and Order Flow pressure building at those levels. Explore popular Market Profile setups to trade structure effectively.

Instead of waiting for a big candle, watch pressure building at structure. When buyers defend value with conviction, you enter before the breakout. When price moves, you’re already in—not chasing.

”What if I position early and the move doesn’t happen?”

Then you manage tight risk. Early entries have better R:R: tight stops, larger potential. A few small losses are offset by outsized wins when structure breaks.

”I used to be the one always entering late. Now, with these charts, I plan trades before the move even starts.” – Shreya Patel, derivatives trader

The Bottom Line:

Stop chasing candles. Trade structure. Position early with defined risk and let the market come to you.
